Is perfect in its proportions, and the face
is one Of surprising beauty.
When the club house was finished the
art committee looked around for some
thing unique in the way of decoration.
They found II in Chicago where they had
gone exploring. Entering an art store they
told the dealer they wanted to see Inc
choicest thing he had. The dealer replied
that he had a beautiful colored window

as to the probable cost. He wanted naught
but the best, and was not content TO have
the picture painted or burned into the

The dealer was obliged TO send the pho-

IN A BAD WAY FOR FUEL.
Rates Cut a Figure in the Northwest
Coal Situation.

Coal Situation.
Chicago, July 16.-The Lake Marine
News Bureau will say tomorrow:
1T semes likely that the Northwest,
supplied with coal from Lake Superior
will be in a bad way for fuel, owing TO
the steadily advancing figure in coal
freights from Ohio ports. Instead Of NOV
ing their stocks early in the season, the
coal shippers pursued the tactics which
had been so successful in the years Of
depression. They got together and made
an agreed rate, more than which they
would not pay.
The result was that when the coal ought
to have been going forward. ships were
running back to Lake Superior without
cargoes. AT last, when the coal shippers
found that they were under new condi-
tions and were not masters of the situa-
ton, as they had been since the panic,
they began to bid up. In the meantime
return freights also had advanced and
they were as bad off as before Vessel
men say that it is now impossible with
the ships to be had, to take a sufficient
supply of fuel 20 the Northwest for the
coming winter, regardless of rates"
