Duluth, July 1S.-The ore traffic on

The Duluth men, to the number Of

the Two Harbors men followed them
at midnight.
The men ask an increase of Is cents

living. The company claims that it
had already reached an agreement
with the men by which they were
granted an increase and agreed to
work during the remainder of the
year.
No ore has been shipped from Du-
luth since Saturday night. The train
crews have been laid off and the open
pit mines where mining is done by
steamshovels are closed down. The
underground mines are still being

piles.
If the strike continues it will affect
thousands of men. The train crews,
vessel crews and mine workers will
all suffer from enforced idleness.

1t Is alleged that mary of the boxes

which has always characterized its
acts, and the appreciation OF the fact
by the business public.
This institution has always been
safe and conservative In its manage
ment. the best evidence of which is
the fact, that the people, always wise,
have favored it generously with their
patronage.
A Liberal Policy.
A very prominent capitalist once
remarked that this bank had done
more for this country than any one in
fiuence. except the railroads. The
management has been liberal in its
policy, and has extended lines of
credit which have enabled people Of
this section to buy vast quantities of
timber, which would otherwise have
passed into the hands of syndicates.
1t has aided our business men, that
they might reach out for trade. and
pulsate more strongly in the develop
ment of the ccmmercialism of this
section.
Aided Struggling Industries.
To the facilities, liberality and wis
dom of the management of this bank,
many concerns, which struggled In
their infancy with insufficient capital,
owe in large measure their success
and many cottage homes grace this
section, testimonials of the fact that
all classes have been accorded their
dues by this Institution.
The Meaning of Conservative.
From this inclination to assist PEG
pie it might appear to some. thatfthe
bank is not always conservative, but
what does the word Conservative
! mean? 1t means. ito conserve, to pre-
serve. the power to preserve in safe
or entire state. or from loss, waste OF
injury" To conserve IS TO keep in
safe or sound state, to save, to pre-
serve, TO protect" To the average rer
son the word conservative" bears a
very narrow and restricted meaning;
it stands for limited condition, but
not SC in its broadcast sense.
The banking business of this country
has developed to that extent. that the
banks have become powerful. and able
to do substantial acts in aiding society
and the development Of our country

wish to be relieved of the care, worry
and lack of safety, on account of be-
ing personally responsible for their
valuables. There is already large
demand for these boxes, and the bank
looks upon this departure as one of
the best features of its business.
The Savings Department.
Aside from the regular commercial
business, this bank has inaugurated
a savings business, and has opened
up special department for Savings"

they solicit accounts, large and small,

severe laws governing National Banks.
A Small Beginning.
The National Bank of Commerce
opened for business in the year 1895,
with paid-in capital of $4,000, a
generous portion OF which was taken
by the citizens of this immediate ter
ritory. 1t appeared that the institu-
ton would enjoy but small measure
of success, and the financial resources
of this country were so limited that
they felt they had made venture
But what change, with the opening
up of facilities for transportation! The
quickening pulse of the entire business
world, which began to manifest Itself
about one decade past, caused this
section to inspire itself to progress
All worthy efforts that have beer
made in this section have been fruit
full and prolific of good results, and
thus it is that this bank has grown
