The Village Of Grand Marais is
situated upon a sheltered, natural
harbor, the only safe harbor in the
State Of Minnesota on the north
shore Of Lake Superior north
Of Duluth, and is rapidly growing
in population and business. The
Village enjoys regular service of
five steamers per week from Du-
luth, which give it excellent facili-
ties for trade. Lands in the neigh
borhood of the Village are being
taken up and improved, and the
spirit Of enterprise and progress is
very manifest in the demand for
homes and the growth Of indus
tries here.

NEW FIRE STATION.
One for Southwest Will Be Discussed
Tonight.

The location of fire station in the
southwestern section of the city is
again being agitated. The people in
that vicinity have urged their represn-
tatives in the city council to bring the
matter to the attention of the ways and
means committee which meets this ev-
ening. The ward primarily interested is
the Fifth ward though in the advent of
the location of such an additional fire
station the radius of fire protection af-
forded would be necessarily grea ter.
The matter was first agitated in the fall
of last year through the fundamentally
of a petition from the resident property
owners in that district. In consequence
of the petition the fire marshal was re-
quested by the city council to furnish as
an estimate of the cost involved. The
estimate reported in to the ways and
means committee at that time, Novem-
Der T. by Fire Marshal Wilmarth called
for an expenditure of $3.50. This pro-
vided for the erection of a suitable hre
station, the purchase of team of
horses and a chemical wagon or COM
bination chemical and hose wagon to-
gether with the necessary equipment.
The ways and means committee, how
ever, could find no available means
to provide for the construction and
maintenance in the increase in the fire
department and the petition was al
lowed to remain on file together with
the estimate. Practically the same tate
faces it tonight
In case three men are added to the
force to take care of the additional sta
ton the cost would be approximately
Sc. 900 a year for maintenance This
means the running expenses of total
nature on a basis of the three men en-
ployed. Fire Marshal Wilmarth said
today: Il shall consider those figures as
approximately correct. The basis OF
three men is the minimum and is the
same number on which we organized
station No. 4 on Clay street.
Councilman Green, chairman OF the
.sT wasn't aware that the matter would
come up tonight There is no question
but what those people in that part OF
town ought to have what they are ask
ing for They have been paying taxes
for the past several years for ire pro
lection but in case of a fire all they
could do would be to watch their pro-
nertv burn down. But what can we doE
We have no way to increase the lndebt-
edness of the city and there is no money
il, the treasury of the city to take care
of the extra expenditure When the
matter came up before the ways ana
means committee last faH tnere was no
question in the minds of the council
h11t what the request should be granted.
Won can't however, draw blood out Oh
a turnip. There are any number of i'm
movements which the city should have
hut there is absolutely no money TOT
tbero T don't see how we can establish
a Ere station but if some one has some
SUGGESTIONS to offer whereby we may Sc
cure the funds we will be only too gao
to receive and act upon it.
Councilman Howe will introduce the
matter before the ways and means COM
nittee this evening.

HEAVY BUYING.
Railroad Purchases the Feature of the
Iron Market.

New York, March S0.-The con-
tinued heavy buying of material of all
kinds by railroad interests is still the
main feature of the iron market, says
the Iron Age. 1t is reflected in quite
a steady flow of small additional rail
orders, in a very heavy demand for
plates, and in the buying of consider
able quantities of structural material.
The position of the plate market is
attracting particular attention. East
en- mills are selling considera Bile
quantities in the western markets,
notably in Cleveland and Pittsburg
and in some instances are securing
premiums. It is understood that the
leading interest is fully booked for
a long time ahead and is on the verge
of being a purchaser to cover con-
tracts. It begins to look as though
some foreign material may have to be
brought in. There has been another
burst of buying of basic pig iron in
the eastern markets. In the Philadel-
in the aggregate bought $4,000 tons
at prices varying from $1,000 to $16.75
delivered for the third and the fourth
quarters. A mill in the New York
district has taken $500 tons.
The Pittsburg market for pig iron
for steel manufacture is pretty bare.
1t has been impossible to squeeze out
10000 to $1,000 tons of Bessemer pig
date delivery.
The steel corporation, it is esti-
mated, will need about 10000 tons
for April delivery which has not yet
been contracted for. The general job
bing foundry trade is still quite slack.
tidewater steel plant has pur-
chased one lot of 5000 tons of foreign
Bessemer pig at or about $3.50 Balti-
more, and may have taken additional
quantities. This, however, is to cover
parallel sales of steel rails made to
South America, taking advantage of
the drawback.
A feature of the situation is devel-
oping in bridge material. A good deal
of this has been placed as a leading
interest has booked during the week
about 1000 tons in individually small
lots. While the bookings are very
heavy the drawings and specifications
are still coming in slowly. There is
danger therefore of a rush later on,
which the fabrication end with ample
reserve capacity will easily care for,
but which may prove embarrassing
to the structural and plate mills that
are even now threatened with conges-
ton.
