AUTO DELIVERY WAGON BURNS
Calumet Dye Works Machine IN
Flames on Streets of Houghton.

People on Sheldon street in Hough-
ton were thrown into excitement yes
terday when the delivery automobile
Of the Calumet Dye works suddenly
started to burn. The machine was
standing in front of the Feldman sa-
loon while the driver was inside on
business. Charles Little, whose justice
office is on the upper floor of the
building, noticed the smoke arising
from the machine and gave the alarm.
The driver rushed from the saloon and
soon obtained n bucket OF water which
he dashed over the burning machine
but did not have any great effect upon
the blaze and the hose from the saloon
was soon put to work The fire was
out in a short time after that and Joe
Moons dray hauled the machine away
TO the repair shop. II Is estimated that
1t is damaged to the extent of 800.

Gillette, who has ever since devoted a
great deal of valuable time without
compensation 20 the benefit of the
children in the institution. Beginning
With one little cripple, the patients
have increased until there are now an
average of so receiving treatment all
the time. In the IL years the hospital
has been in operation, about 500 have
been received and substantially 81 per
cent are now well. About 400 have been
so materially improved that they are
likely TO develop into useful and self
sustaining men and women.
i few years after its inception, the
Board of Regents feeling that the work
had gone far beyond the experimental
stage, recommended that a permanent
institution be established, to be under
state control and support. From the
passage of the first bill I'm 1897, Senator
w w. Dunn of Saint Paul became
deeply interested i'm the institution and.
following the recommendation of the
Board of Regents, introduced another
bill providing for commission to in
Vestigate and report TO the next legis-
lature rs 10 the wisdom of establishing
a hospital under state auspices on a
permanent basis. The commission re-
ported favorably and immediately n
series of legislative battles commenced
as to the proper location for the hos

PRESIDENT FITCH HERE.

eraI Range System.

Walter T. Fitch, president of the Du-
luth, South Shore & Atlantic and the
Mineral Range railroads, spent all day
yesterday making a tour of inspection
over the lines of the Mineral Range
railroad. The laying of the heavier
rails on those portions of the road be-
tween Calumet and Gay and Calumet
and Crosse Pointe was the particular
thing that brought Mr.. Fitch here at
this time.
The president of these roads an
nounced that the improvements to the
road beds of each of the roads would
continue. lie says the South Shore is
now being equipped with the heavier
rails east of this point and that the
work VIII be pushed as rapidly as the

Madison. Wis, June Wisconsin
is making determined fight to lower
express rates I'm the state on an av-
erage of 25 per cent. The Merchants
and Manufacturers association of MIL
waukee recently retained Walter Drew
of Madison, an expert statistician and
lawyer. who for the past seven years
has been retained by Senator II. NJ. La
Toilette to compile such data, to make
an examination.
The examination showed rates to be
so high that n complaint to adjust
them has been filed with the Wiscon-
sin railroad commission and later one
will be filed with the interstate COM
merce commission.
1t was shown that the express rates
of Wells. Fargo & Co. and of the eX-
press companies i'm Wisconsin are high
er than rates for like distances in
Iowa, by from to 80 per cent; in Ne
braska, by to 60 per cent; in Virginia,
by 81 per cent on the average; in Geor-
gia. by 2s per cent on the average; in
North Carolina, by IL TO 100 per cent;
in Texas. by TO Sc per cent; In Mis-
souri,. by 2S per cent on the average;
and higher than rates issued by the
state commission i'm New Hampshire
and oklahoma by to &C per cent
The highest officials and attorneys
of the various companies Of New York,
realizing that this win result in a gem
eral attack i'm many states to lower
the rates. are at Madison preparing
evidence to refute the compilations Of
Attorney Drew. Members of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
of Milwaukee believe that the attack
on the express rates will rebound
greater credit to the organization than
any other problem it has yet wrestled
with.

A PLEA FOR THE POOR.
Miss Swanson of the Salvation Army
Asks for Summer Clothing.

When the weather is so hot as it
has been in these parts for the past
few days one would be somewhat free
from blame If he were to fail to re-
member that there are poor and needy
people i'm the Portage lake towns.
When the weather is very cold II Is
apt to make a person remember these
people, as it Is easily to be seen that
they suffer much from the cold but the
extreme warm weather is according to
Miss Swanson Of the Salvation Army,
having almost as bad an effect upon
these people as does the very cold.
There is much need among the poor
for light clothing, especially among the
little children. and Ensign Swanson
will be very grateful If any who have
cast-off garments will send them 10
the barracks of the army. She will
call for them If necessary but her calls
among the needy require so much Of
her time that she has little time left
for these calls. Miss Swanson says
that she has a competent woman who
would like work as a housekeeper

aptable To their conditions. Gardens
will be established and a greenhouse is
contemplated where flowers and winter
vegetables may be raised and such
children as are adapted TO the work
will be taught the occupation of green

also be utilized as n winter playground
The bill as passed. providing for the
santarium, also contemplates the con-
struction later OF another building in
which will be placed the incurable
cripples OF the state, who are unable to
sustain themselves These incurables
will be taught various trades i'm so far
as possible and i'm some cases may
later be utilized as teachers for the
little children i'm the adjoining insti-
tuition.
The citizens OF Saint Paul have felt
deeply interested I'm these little suffer.
ers and a great deal of entertainment
has been provided for them from time
to time. such as auto trips, theatrical
entertainments, musicales, Christmas
tree parties, etc., There are many hum
dreds of crippled children i'm the state
whose parents are unable to pay for
their treatment. and these will be talk
on 10 the new institution as soon as it
is opened.
II is believed that when the indus
trial education of the children is sufn-
ciently advanced, the institution can
be made largely self-sustaining by the
sale of articles manufactured by them
and by the use and sale OF tho products

ular building at the City Hospital i'm
which the institution was already To-
four acres of land adjoining to be used
as a temporary playground, and later
for the erection of n more commodious
building. This tender was also accom-
panied by a further proposition to give
To the state as an adjunct To such hos
pital, in the form OF n fresh air sani-
tarium and educational and Industrial
school building, % acres of land at
Phalen Park. In addition to this a
purse OF $1,000 was rendered the state
TO assist i'm the construction of the
proper buildings. This proposition was
holly contested by n neighboring city,
but IL was finally accepted and the hos
pital and its proposed adjunct, the
sanitarium became firmly established
as a state institution at Saint Paul
Two years later during the session Of
1909, Senator Dunn introduced a bill,
carrying an appropriation OF $4,000 to
which was added the $4,000 already
donated by Saint Paul citizens, for the
construction of the sanitarium build

This institution is the outcome Of an
act passed by the state legislature,
providing for the care Of children who

81. Paul. one of the celebrated ortho-
pedic surgeons of the United States,
belongs the credit for the inception of

except relieving her suffering. there
being no hospital for the handling of
such cases This fact impressed upon
him the great need for such an institu-

preparation. authorizing the Board of
Regents of the state University to
hire quarters in some hospital in the
Twin Cities, where unfortunate, poor
and crippled children might be ad-
mitted and receive free treatment from
the medical star of the university.
The doctors readily responded TO the
call, quarters were hired in the city
and county hospital at st. Paul, and
the institution placed in charge of DIR.
