Remarkable Absence Of Stormy Weather
On the Lake.
A NEW STREET CAR LINE.
Philadelphia Experts Report Great
Find Of Coal Between Thomson
and Cloquet.
Special to the Globe
i DULUTH, Dec. 1.-The closing of
navigation will give an opportunity to
look at the accomplishments of the sea-
son. Though from the customs reports
the actual number of arrivals and de-
partures of vessels for the season has
not been as great as last year, the season
has been more active, and much more
has been accomplished than surface
glance would indicate. In fuel alone
there has been brought to Duluth dur
ing the season by the five differ
1.050,000 tons last season. of which the
Northwestern Fuel company brought
$4,000 tons and the Ohio company COM
pany coming second with 100000 tons.
A remarkable feature of the season has
been the utter absence of stormy
weather, not vessel having been
obliged to lose single day on account
of rough weather, except in the rare in
stance of clearing light to load at down
the shore points. The total arrivals for
the season were 1907: clearances, 1904.
In 1887 the arrivals were 1926; clear
ances, 1888.
NEW STREET CAR LINE.
The West Duluth Street Car company
has fled articles of incorporation, with
G. Il. Shannon, w. f. Tanner, G. A.
Elder, Il. ii. Harris. w. p. Hurlbut and
w. ii. H. Stowell as incorporatOrs. The
capital stock is 100000, and the conf
pany will continue fifty years. 1t is the
purpose of the company to connect with
the western end Of the present service
Minnesota Car company'S plant, prOvid-
ing permission can be secured from the
authorities. Mr.. Lowry, too, is after
the same privilege, but as the company
just incorporated is distinctively Du-
luth concern, and composed of gentle
men perfectly competent and willing to
handle the scheme to the best interest
of all concerned, several members OF
the city council have expressed prefer
ence for the local enterprise and Mr..
Lowry may for once find himself left.
A COAL FIND.
With her ineXhauStible supply of iron,
Duluth has only needed coal as fuel to
with which to work it up. And now
comes a brace Of Pennsylvania experts
and say that on the st. Louis river, be-
tween Thompson and ClOquet, distant
about twenty-five miles from Duluth,
every Indication of quantity and quality
sufficient to meet all requirements. The
property will be developed, and should
it prove to be as claimed, another boom
awaits the head of the lake such as was
never dreamed of.
THE LOAVEs AND FISHES.
The canvassing board finished its Ia
bors during the week, and Col, c. II.
Graves goes to the legislature with a
clean i, 100 majority, while his plurality
reaches nearly 5000. And it is upon
these figures that the colonel will bear
his claim to the speakership. No other
representative can show anything like
such a popular Endorsement, nor will
any OF them go to st. Paul with greater
freedom from political pledges. SO far
as the senatorship is concerned, what
ever his preferences may be, no man is
authorized to say that Col. Graves is for
or against any of the candidates. He is
wants him to get it, because
Duluth has never been given
the ghost of a show at
anything that would show of what mar
ner OF men she is composed. We are
good third in the cities of the state, and
while senators have hailed from Wi
mona. governors from Red Wing, and.
lieutenant governors and state officers
from every other section. never beg
gerly thing has been doled out to Du-
luth, save that many long years ago. by
appointment, Judge Stearns served
with distinguished ability sixteen con-
secutive days as United States senator!
This is getting too thin, gentle
men, and the sperkership is
the loaf we ask with a big A.
pretty mess of it. They all want Office,
and in their greed are jostling each
other about and saying such unkind
things that in all likelihood the appoint
ing powers will become disguised with
the whole outfit. and they will all get
left. Frank Burke, Jr. is bound to have
a place on the state wOrkhouse board.
while there are many prominent local
politicians who would rather see the APP
pointment go to Jericko than have
have Frank get it, and though they
may not be able to dictate who the
position shall go to they can, at least,
keep it away from him. The Daily
News is fighting him tooth and nail,
and the News is backed by the same ele-
ment that laid Mr.. Burke out
cold and stiff in the last
county convention. In turn Burke
low E. G. Swanstrom OF any one else
get the place if they can help it-and
they probably can. So that all in all
the chances are excellent for the city's
being again left out in the cold because
of the og-in-the-mainger policy of
chronic Office seekers.

ness men of Ishpeming, Mich, would
visit this vicinity Tuesday next. The

Another break in the water main near
the reservoir flooded West Superior

the worst sufferer, a number of the
mules being nearly drowned. Excuses
for the break will be forthcoming, as
