 route which passes through Columbus. The proposed route would con- 

 nect with the Ohio river at Port-smouth and with Lake Erie at Sandusky.

 ber directly from many southern points up the Mississippi river, Ohio 

 river Into Columbus. Lumber could also be shipped from the Northwest

 loss estimated at $10,000, only partly covered by insurance. The yard 

 surrounding the mill was filled with lumber and logs which, with the 

 machinery was reduced to a total loss. The origin of the fire is unknown. 



Fire which destro.ved the William Miner mill at Wabash, caused a loss 

 of between $5,000 and $8,000, according to the owner, who carried no 

 insurance. Several theories as to the origin of the fire have been ad-
