FOREST fires THREATEN
VILLAGE LAST SATURDAY
Northwest Wind Drives Flames to
Our Very Door Steps. No
Damage Done.

On Saturday afternoon our village
was Threatened by forest fire
which swept toward the western
part of the village at an alarming
rate of speed, driven by the south
westerly wind which had been blow
ing all day and which seemed to
gain in velocity as the fire neared
the residences Of the village. For
tunately at sundown the wind died
down somewhat and changed to a
more northwesterly direction. The
fire burned to within about one hum
dred feet of the Axel Berglund, John
Anderson and A. V. Johnson resi-
dences.
While the fire was quite a men$ Ice
to the safety of the village for se-
veral hours on Saturday, it has
proved to be more or less of BILE ess-
ing in disguise as it will lessen the
danger from forest fires for seve raj
years to come. 1t has also cleared
up considerable land on the. far ms
west of the village and next " bar
will see good many additional acf res
under cultivation which could Not
haye been prepared without great
expense in hand clearing.
The fire which threatened the vii
lage was the result of two fires
meeting within our village limits one
coming from the west and the other
coming from farther north. There
was no damage to timber except
some that was only valuable as fire.
wood. -.
For time the farm residences of
Ole Allen, J. N. Brenton, Mrs. Mary
Method and Chris Murphy were in
danger but this was before the fire
had progressed to endanger the vii
lage and quite number of our citi-
zens had gone out there to assist
in protecting the property in that
settlement.
The fire along the shore road was
burning on both sides of the road
and the auto stage and a large num-
ber of auto tourists bound for our
village were compelled to make "A
dash through. the dense smoke and
the intense heat from the fires a.
long the road. One auto turned
back short distance west of the
village and drove to Lutsen, driving
through to the village on Sunday
morning.
Other fires were reported on Sat-
urday at Elbow Lake, North Lake,
Island Lake and several other points
in the county. While the brush and
weeds and dead and down timber
was quite dry, the soil was puite
damp and there was very little burn
ing in the ground as there was dur
ing the destructive fires of the past.

DEATH IN NEW YORk
 MRS. CEO. \. HOADLEY
For Many Years a Resident of
 Phoenix.

Word was received here yesterday of the death of Mrs George II. Hoad- ley, which occurred in Lake Placid. New York, on Tuesday. No details were given. A telegram to Eugene Goldman from MT. Hoadley merely asked that their friends in Phoenix be advised that Mrs Hoadley had passed away. Mrs. George Cooke and John Montgomery of Arlington, are sister and brother of Mrs, Hoadley and are the only relatives in Ari- Zona.
 Many years ago the Hoadleys made their home in Phoenix and were leaders in the social set. Mr. Hoadley was cashier of the National Bank of Arizona, his brother law the late Martin Kales, being it's president The family later went to New York, where MT. Hoadley was associated in Vari- ous business enterprises with Joseph Hoadley, and both men have made independent fortunes. Mir. Hoadleys most recent connection has been with the American Locomotive Works in Providence.
 During their many years residence in New York, both Mrs Hoadley and her daughter Miss Gladys Hoadley, made an occasional visit to Phoenix and were always entertained exten- sively,
