tial refunds the accumulation of profits

FIRE. -We were sorry to hear Inst
Saturday of a serious fire at Emerson,
Man., in which W. B. Ballantyne, form-
erly of Brussels, lost his printing office
and Good Bro. , also former Brusselites,
suffered the loss of their grocery, The
Winnipeg Free Press of Saturday gives
the following particulars ut the fire :—
"The worst fire that has ever occurred in
Emerson started this evening at 6.3o o'-
clock, and destroyed $foo,000 worth of
property. The fire started in the ex.
Creme North end of the Alexandria block
in a store formerly occupied by Bell
& Co., and at present rented to Pereles
Hrus., who have been conducting a
bankrupt stock sale. Amongst the
Heaviest losers are; Pereles Bros , stock
om hand, covered bV $8,000, insurance ;
Good Bros., restaurant, loss $2,000, in
surance $1,2oo ; post office and C. P.
Commercial office, loss$r,000, insurance
$500 ; Emerson Journal office, loss
$i,800, insurance $500; Casselmao's
drug store, loss $8,000, insurance
$4,000 ; Manituba Gov't. telephone
ul£ve, loss $t.000, insurance unknown ;
W. 1. Scarff, loss *emcee small insur-
ance. Tete two top stories of the block
wet eused as residential flats and uffiues
and atnoug the losers are :—W. J. Mc-
Clelland, *Soo, insurance $400 ; W. B.
Fairbairn, partial lose $5oo, no insur-
auce : F. Stock, loss $600, no insurance;
F. Sinclair, toss *Soo, no insurance ;
Mrs. Good, loss $boo. small insurance ;
W. J. Cherrey. loss Irmo, no insurance ;
Miss Billington, loss $400, no insurance;
D. Forrester, loss $5oo, small insurance;
Principal Crearer, loss $too, no insur-
ance ; W. J. Nichol, loss $200. no insur
ance ; T. C. Muirhead, loss *zoo, no in-
surance. Besides the numerous small
losses a local syndicate, owners of the
block, lose two-thirds of an $80 000
building covered by $2o,000 insurance.
There are suspicions of incendiarism
and it is likely an investigation will
be held. The occupants if the store at
the time of the fire state that the stove
was knocked over, causing the blaze.
In twenty minutes after the fire com-
menced the entire end of the large
block was in flames, and with the as
sistance of a strong Northwest wind it
looked as it the whole business portion
ot the town was doomed. The fire bri-
gade worked hard to control tbe fire,
but the ales to cover was too large for
the town's equipment and the efforts of
the brigade were directed to saving the
buildings across the street.. The good
work of the firemen doubtless saved the
Aoglo.American hotel. Christie's livery
barn, Watson's livery harp, Turner's
blacksmith shop, A. Rivartl's house,.
Van Whorl's livery barn and other ad-
joining small buildings, besides the
Southerly division of the Alexandria.
block. For three hours the fire lasted
and the residents of tbe country for ten
miles around were attracted to tbe
scene. A special train conveying 200
citizens of Pembina, N. D , came over
to lend any passible assistance. 'The
Alexandria block was built during the
b .om days and had the largest front-
age of any building in Manitoba. It
occupied an entire block, with three
hundred feet facing on Main street
W. Fairbanks, now of Winnipeg, was
the original owner. There were thir-
teen stores on the ground floor. The
Part saved was built in 0882 and that
destroyed was a two hundred toot
addition built the following year. The
building has been the pride of Emerson
since its Construction and occupied an
imposing position en Main street. For
ii number of years it has been the com-
mercial and business centre of the
town. The strong wind drove the fire
over the first fire wall and for a time it
looked as if the entire Klock must go,
hut the wind subsided and the combined
efforts o1 citizens and fire brigade saved
the Southerly section. All telephone
communication with the town has been
destroyed.' The many old friends here
of Messrs. Ballantyne and Good will
hope for good insurance settlements and
better luck next time.

ford,

The Value of Economy
any people fail to save, because they do not realize
the importance of small economies..
The practice, once begun, of laying aside a portion of
your income, no matter how small, every week or month,
will soon become a fixed habit,
The result in a few years will probably surprise, and
certainly gratify you.
