BAD FIRES STOPPED.

a bad bush fire which has been rag-
ing just west Of Houghton for a connie
or days Is now under control having
burned out or stopped by a force of
men at work under the direction Of
Supt. Foley Of the public works de-
partment The fire burned flerceIv for
the most Of the day before YESTERDAY
out the wind was away from the vii
Iage and few IN the village were aware
that IRE was so near them.
Another blaze broke out near White
city on the Fourth Of July and caused
much apprehension 10 the manage
mont OF the resort lest It should reach
ana consume the big dance han and
'ther buildings. It was finally put ont
aIter much hard work on the part of
"a force Of men working under Manager
LaDb. This same fire at a counle Of
tunes attacked the revetmcnt Of the
Portage Lake Ship canals at that point
ana caused some uneasiness until nut
out Waterman Van LEW at the En-
Try Kept careful watch all the time
and kept Engineer Banks informed of
me state Of affairs. so that If the fire
became much worse help could be sent
from Houghton. This incident proves
the wisdom OF having a Waterman at

PORTAGE CANALS
TONNAGE HEAVY
BUSINESS OF LOCAL WATER
WAYS FOR LAST MONTH SHOWS
MARKED INCREASE OVER
THAT OF JUNE, 1909.

The June report OF United states
Engineer George II. Banks, superinten-
dent in charge Of the Portage Lake
ship canals. which was issued yester-
day shows that the ,rafic over the To-
cal inland waterway Is much larger
this year than II was last. Each
monthly report issued this spring from
the ofice o. the superintendent has
shown an increase over that Tor the
corresponding month Of last year, but
those o. April and May could hardly be
taken as a fair basis for a comparison.
as the season o. navigation opened SO
much earlier than in former years.
Last yea there was no navigation on
the Portage Lake canals during April
hence no report for that month and
the report for May showed an increase
which could easily be accounted for
through the fact that the boats were
operating so much earlier this year.
In this manner il has remained for
the month just passed 70 give the in
dication OF the relative Importance Of
this year with last in the matter Of
commerce passing through these can
ais. The report shows that June this
year vas a much more prosperous
month than that OF 1909. An especial
~ large Increase Is noted in the num-
Der Of passengers carried, the number
going up being almost double that Of
the same period last year and the num-
Der down bound showing almost as
great a gain. The number Of passen- /
gers carried up during this month last /
year was 3.429 and this year 6,422 were /
aboard the vessels going up. on the /
trip down last June only 4,12s were
carried, while the number this year
reached $3.50. The total cargo up
bound in this month last year was
1881. as compared with 21O,654 for
the same period this year. The cargo
down bound last year amounted to So
lO9 tons, while the total tonnage Of the
down bound cargo this June was Co.
797. II will be noted that the gain in
the commerce up-bound is nearly twice
that OF the gain in the commerce
down-bound.

FIRE MENACES SHIP
YARD OF ELLIS & son

A serious fire was narrowly avert
ed in q two-story frame building
owned by II. c. Ellis & Sons, ship
builders, in Front street, Totem
Vile, about 10 o'clock yesterday
on the front floor by the Tottenyille
Gas Engine and Motor Works, and
the upper part is used by the Ellis
concern as a work shop and model
department. The fire was discov-
cred by Chris Friis, of the motor
company, who with Carl Madison, his
partner, heard the cracking Of the
flames on the second floor They
rushed upstairs, armed with buck
cts of water, and succeeded in extin-
gushing the blaze before any great
damage was done to the building.
The fire was within several feet Of a
large quantity of oakum, which
would have made a more serious con-
fiagration if the flames had reached
it,
Several patterns were the only
things of value that were destroyed,
outside of the flooring and wood
work burned. No alarm was sent In.
This building is situated in the
front part of the shipyard and ad-
Joins the sheds of the West End ho-
tel, and would have made one Of the
most serious fires that the place has
ever had. Mr.. Ellis said last night
that there were several valuable mod
els in the building, which II de-
stroyed, would have meant a serious
loss TO him.
