1906--Norwood

 

From the Tues. July 11, 1906 Gouverneur Northern Tribune:

The L. L. Frost Paper Co. sustained a severe lost July 2. On account of the unusually high water there was a heavy pressure of water in the big flume, which furnishes…pulp grinders. Without a twinkling of warning it gave way and the rushing water carried away three of the wheels and the heavy steel girders and supports. The bursting of the flume was heard by many about town and it resembled thunder. The lower half of the flume is a total wreck. It is thought one of the three lower wheels is not much damaged. The others were wrenched from their fastenings and carried along with the debris. A temporary end will be placed at the point where the flume separated and it is expected the three upper pulp wheels can be used. The repair of the damage will necessarily be slow as very little can be done until the high water subsides. Mr. Frost estimates the loss at several thousand dollars.-Norwood News.

 

From the Thursday, November 1, 1906 edition of the Ogdensburg Advance, under the Buckton news column:

We hear very little said on politics, one would hardly know there was an election pending except for the paper, the anti-Hearst ones predominating. And really those last ones are throwing clouds of mud. They are shy of letting their readers know that Candidate Hearst has been in the county. The Norwood News of recent date makes no mention of his being at Norwood the 17th, or, at Ogdensburg the 18th. The Courier & Freeman is nearly as barren of like news. In pleasing contrast is the conduct of the Democratic Advance, which gives considerable space to the meeting in Hughes interest in the Maple City, without slurring the distinguished speaker at all. We will be glad when it is all over, when no doubt decency and good order will again prevail let the result be as it will.
