The Tallman House at Upper Lake was burned at an early hour Tuesday morning. The fire originated in the roof, which was a mass of flames when discovered Fortunately there was no wind or probably the entire town would have been in ashes now. Adjoining buildings frequently caught fire, but he vigilance of the crowd which had gathered in response to the alarm prevented the fire from spreading. A portion of the contents of the lower story were saved. Ths loss is covered by insurance of $2500. (ClearLake Press November 1 1895)

Upper Lake Has Cheese Factory
A short time ago Mr. Shostack of Oakland rented the Howe creamery, formerly run the Middleton brothers, for the purpose of starting a cheese factory. Several men have been employed for the past week rebuilding the old creamery and putting in the cheese-making machinery which Mr. Shostack purchased from Chas. Sanborn.
Mr .Will Ruddock, who has been at Davis learning the process of testing and cheese-making returned Tuesday and will take charge of the new factory.
Mr. Shostak say that the demand for this special kind of cheese has been so great since the war that the two other large factories of which he is overseer cannot begin to fill the ordered showered upon them.
There is no reason why this industry should not be a great success, because the Upper Lake vicinity and Scotts Valley are especially adapted to the dairy business.
