Last Thursday afternoon at about
$3.50 fire broke out in the basement
Of the Willard State Bank. The fire
alarm was given and in short time
good stream of water extinguished
the fire, which had started from some
ashes that thad been taken out of the
furnace and had caught in some pa
per near by.
The damages done were confined
to the basemen t, the beams OF the
floor being quite badly burned.-Vil-

Fire broke out about $3.50 Saturday
morning in the building occupied by
the E. o. Unumb store on Main steet.
1t started from an over-heated CHM
ney in the attic of the building.
The fire had a good start before it
was discovered and for time 1T
cooxoJ fbof +ho L,,;ld;po on,11d NOT he
saved. Had it gained much more
Roadway the Elgin Lunch, in the next
building to the store, would have been
seriously threatened.
The wind was blowing from the
west, carrying the smoke toward the
front of the building, and made the
work of the fremen especially diff
cult. Holes were chopped in the front
of the building and through these wa
ter was played on the flames. An
other hose was run around to the
rear. of the building where the fire
was breaking out. The roof was COW
cred with tin, and this made it very
difficult for the iremen toreach the
flames with the water.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
a number of men commenced to carry
goods out of the store putting some
in the Cowing & Robards warehouse
next door and some in the First Ma
tional bank.
The fire was gotten under control
before the building was badly dam
aged. Fortunately there was not
much wind or the entire group OF
frame buildings between Cowing- Ro-
bards and The First National Bank
might have been completely wiped
out.-Alexandria Post-News.
If plans develop Albany will have
a $50. Dbl. daily capacity flour mill.
It will be five story freproof con-
struction.
At meeting held few weeks ago
between the farmers and business
men the prospect of mill was talk
ed on. At that time a committee was
appointed to go ahead with the work.
The committee has held meeting
with Thomas Erwin and H. c. Erwin
both of them from the H. G. Erwin
Co of St. Cloud.
i lie COIIlIllCCcc was IOI CuIo1C III La
teresting the Ewin Milling Co., as
they own a 500 Dbl, capacity daily
mill at st. Cloud, a $50 Dbl. capacity
daily mill at St. Joseph and branch
at Bemidji, MINI.
M. G. Refs, millwright of the H.
C. Erwin Co. of St. Cloud was in town
Wednesday to look over the site for
the location of the mill which will be
constructed along the G. N. Right of
Way, along the Main street. Mr..
Refs states that the mill that they in
tend to build here will be able to
grind all the wheat that will come to
Albany and the farmers will be paid
the same price for wheat that they
are paying in st. Cloud, the only diff
feennce will be the freight between
here and st. Cloud. The mill will be
built in such a way that the daily
capacity can be increased to 200 Dbl.
In the near future the committee
will call a meeting and will lay the
whole proposition before the meeting.
This viii mean a boost for Albany SO
everyone should attend.-Albany En-
terprise.
