Monster kite lifts man to near a thousand feet
Amos Evers of this village joined a revelry at Bragg's bar when a 96 pound monster kite was tested. The rope ran out and he was lifted by the craft to about a thousand feet, dangling after a seven hour ascent. He survived and rejoined his community days later, recounting a harrowing climb and fall with bruises but no fatal injuries. He had landed miles from Alpena, found by Henry Beeson and George Blackett near Mill Brook Hampshire County.

Demand for Pine Lumber in Southern Markets
Demand for Southern pine lumber is rising steadily with a coming boom anticipated in yellow pine timber. Notable signs include large pine land purchases by Northwestern interests and shipments of pine flooring from Mississippi to Duluth for a new elevator, plus heavy timber use in Chicago warehouses.
