ing between the early part Of 1858 and
the year 1870 For large part of that
time the city was in great financial straits
Many railroads. were projected. A So 600
loan In aid of the roads was voted by the
people, and land grants were obtained
from the government in their aid. Some
of the roads, having been built in advance
or the settlement of the country, went
into bankruptcy. Wildcat banks were
opened all over, and the country was
flooded with irredeemable currency The
Civil war came. The Sioux massacre
struck terror into the hearts of the peo-
pie. Taxes were uncollectible City or
ders were issued worth so cents on the
dollar County orders We're worth 40 or
90 cents, and difficult to negotiate at that.
Double issues were resOrted to to make
lip the deficit. Territorial scrip sold for
from 70 to rs cents. School, road and
town orders occupied the same financial
level All these things operated to re
tard the growth of the city. And yet the
city grew slowly, but surely; and finally
issued from the fiery ordeal, with renewed
energy and business enterprise, and the
people in time saw their highest hopes
more than realized.

WANTS INSURANCE
COMPANY WOUND UP
Insurance Commissioner Says It Is Now
Practically Out of Business.

State Insurance Commissioner Elmer H.
Dearth has requested Attorney General
Douglas to take legal steps to restrain the
Northwestern Union Casualty Company Of
Duluth from doing any further business.
The company has been operating under
the laws Of this state as a cooperative
assessment life and casualty insurance
company.
This action on the part Of Mr.. Dearth
comes as, the result of a recent exanina-
ton of the affairs of the company by his
department which, he says, discloses the
fact that for four or five months past the
business has been practically suspended
by reason of the illness of the president.
Robert Stone, none Of the other officers
having undertaken the duties of that Of
fee; that since April l, 1908, the company
has had no secretary, as A. R. Mcdonald
resigned on that date and left the city
and no successor has been appointed.
Mr. Dearth says it Is impossible to as
certain from the records whether there
are any unpaid claims; and that the total
Of visible asets is but SIPS; so he does
not see that it is worth while to have
a receiver appointed.

DR.. NJ. B. Cullum, Democratic mayor
elect of Duluth, was in the city yesterday
and served notice on leading Democrats
that the Zenith City is an active candidate
for the honor OF entertaining the Demo-
cratic state convention. The singular
number was used by DR.. CulIum, for he IS
one Of number of prominent Democrats
throughout the state who believe that one
convention is sufficient to do the bust
ness of electing delegates to the st. Louis
national convention and to put a state
ticket in the field.
You may say that my mission in st.
Paul today is to begin an active cam
paign for the selection of Duluth as the
place for holding the Democratic state
convention said DR.. Cullum Duluth has
never had the honor of entertaining a
state convention of my political faith, and
it is extremely anxious to show to the
state at large, and especially it's Demo-
cratic friends, what a really fine young
city it is.
Has Hotel Room and Cool Weather.

vention. We have an armory with a
seating capacity Of $500, ample hotel ac-
commodation, and the probable date of the
convention suggests the propriety of Sc
lecting Duluth as the place. The national
convention will be held July 6, and it is
probable that the state convention will be
called either for late in June or early in
July. The weather at st. Paul and Min
neapolis at that season of the year is
usually insufferabfy hot but at Duluth it is
cool and delightful, and from the stand

OLD BUILDINGS BURN
MONDAY Blaze Cleans Up an
Ancient Row.

blaze which destroyed five frame
houses, at Ninth and Robert streets,
yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, was
caused by a little girl paying with
matches in the house at 474 Robert
street.
The small ramshackle frame dwell
ings, numbered Ala, ATS, 47S, 4SO and
4S2 Robert street, tenanted by He
brews and Italians, were practically de-
stroyed. The flames spread so rapidly
that the fire department, hampered as it
was by frozen water mains, was un-
able TO get the blaze under control for
some time.
Second and third alarms were sent in
by Chief Jackson on his arrival, and
with the aid of the extra hose the fire
was eXtinguished. Lebro and Louis
Bretschi, Mrs. Ada Fish, mother of the
girl who started the fire, and Louis
Lombard, were slightly burned about
the hands and face and had their hands
cut in frenzied attempts to remove
their property from the reach of the
flames.
The loss on the buildings is about
$4,000, covered by insurance. The Con-
necticut Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany owned three of the houses, and r,
Q. Eggert, of 484 Robert street, owned
the other two.
The occupants of the burned houses
were: 474, Mrs. Ada Fish, colored, loss
total; 476, James Bellwort, total; Ats,

schi, total; 482, Louis Lombard, par

the local business status and the social
