Michigamme - The roof of the South Shore tank house was des-
troyed by fire Monday afternoon and but for the timely assist-
ance of the fire department the fine brick roundhouse and the
tank would have gone. Five minutes after the alarm of the loco-
motive the water was doing effective work and within 20 minutes
no fire was to be seen. The fire had been smouldering for some
time. It was probably started from a spark from an engine. The
fire company did splendid work as usual and Mr. Dolf, the agent
wishes to thank them for their prompt response to the alarm.
