L0GGERS TO EMPLOYERS
George N. Wall, State Factory In
spector, Was in the Vicinity for -
Several Days.

George M. Wall Of St. Cloud,
state factory inspector and truant
officer of the Bureau of Labor In
dustries and CONNIE cree. has spent
the past two days in Bemidji and
vicinity investigating the charges
which have been made against some

Mr.. Walz departed for his home
at St. Cloud this morning, and be-
fore leaving stated to the Pioneer:
I find that some loggers are mis-
using lumberjacks in that they are
not paying the men wages agreed
upon before they start to work,
have cut down their time and have
charged 5 per cent discount on pay
ment of checks. I propose taking
up the matter with w. c. McEwen,
state labor commissioner, to whom
will make a full and complete re-
port"
Asked as how he found condi-

MEAT STUCK IN THROAT
2-YEAR-OLD BOY EXPIRED
Claude Evenson, Son of Martin Even
son, Was the Victim OF Peculiar
Accident.

Claudio Evenson, the 2-year-old
son of Martin Evenson, living seven
miles north of Bemidji, lost his life
yesterday, through a piece of meat
becoming clogged in his throat and
eventually shutting off breath, death
ensuing while physicians were per-
forming an operation to save the
life of the little one.
While the family were eating yes
terday, in some manner a piece of
meat which the boy Claudio was eat
ing became lodged in the child's
throat and despite all efforts of the
parents to extract the obstruction,
the child was given no relief.
Quickly hitching a team to a rig,
Mr.. Evenson drove to Bemidji, a
distance of seven miles, in thirty
five minutes, taking the child to a
physician and then to St. Anthony's
hospital, where an operation was
performed to remove the piece of
meat.
Despite every effort of h e
physicians to give relief. the child
died, without regaining any strength.
The funeral will be held tomorrow,
at 2 p. M, at the Baptist church,
and the services will be in charge
of Rev. H. Robinson Mckee, the
pastor of the church.
The sudden death of the little boy
has caused unconsolable grief to the
parents of the child, who did every
thing that human agency could per-
form to save their son. But Provl-
dence ruled otherwise, and the bright
boy has gone to Him who said
Suffer little children to come unto
Me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven"

the future the excellent patronage
which has been heretofore accorded
the firm of Cormontan & Hanson.

name of Cormontan & Hanson since
that time. They have built up a
splendid business and both gentle
men have been popular. The
departure of Mr.. Cormontan is much
regretted.

STOCKS AND BONDS
Speculative Force Renewed Contest
for Higher Range.

New York. Nov. 5.-The specu1a-
tive force in the stock market renewed
the contest today for a higher range
of prices. The reactionary tendency
which developed late yesterday was
checked by the authoritative state
ment from President Brown, OF the
New York Central, c~ontradicting the
rumOr hat q sale Of a large short
time note issue Of that company was
in contemplation. That rumor was
largely responsible for the sharp re-
lapse in prices which occurred yester-
day. President Browns explicit as
sertion that the $4,000, 600 Mich
gan Central note issue placed IN
Paris had cost that company but 4 3-4
per cent net served to correct reports
of an onerous interest rate which a
been eXacted for that financing.
Relieved of this depressing influence.
the speculation again set about dis
counting the favorable coalition ex-
pected to follow the passing of the
election. The tone Of mercantile re-
views fostered the impression that
business activities We're waiting for re-
lief from the unsettlement OF political
unrest in common with financial mar
kets.
The call money market on Saturday
at the stock exchange is merely nom
nal, as loans made on Friday carry
over until Monday. The tone Of the
time loan market was called decidedly
strong n more active.
The foreign exchaI ge market weak

reflect the ~negOtiGtiou OF additional
bankers finance bills n the Paris and
London markets.

New York, Nov. 4.-R. G.. Dun &

Whatever change there is. is chiefly
IN the point of view. It is the charac-
~terlstic feature of the situation that
whereas a few weeks ago business
sentiment put special emphasis on
the uncertainties Of the outlook and
possible dangers involved; now the
emphasis is mostly in the hopeful as
poets. Yet. so far as actual develop
ments are concerned, there is very
little change and the volume Of ac-
tual transactions continues below pro
ductiVe capacity.
Recent developments in Iron and
Steel encourage the more hopeful
feeIng already noted. The execution
IS that Transporting companies will
shortly enter the market for needed
equipment, While the prospective
structural work will call for a con
slderabie tonnage Of finished material.
On the other hand, pig-iron stocks

(By the Associated Press

New York, Nov. 5.-The cotton
market showed continued strength to-
day on further covering and bull sup
port with the close firm at a net
advance Of s to Is points.
The opening was steady at a de-
cline Of 2 to 5 points in response to
somewhat disappointing Liverpool
cables. But private advices indicated
that the relatively easy showing of
the English market had been due to
a crop estimate of 100000 bales
published by a Georgia authority and
as it had been rumored last Wednes-
day that this report would be issued
today it was evidently considered dis
counted IN local circles, Moreover d
drop estimate published by a proIni-
nent cotton firm n the uthW OF
1855, coo bales and another by a local
hrm of liz 9, 900 bales tended TO OIL
set the larger estimate mentioned
above. At any rate right after the
opening prices here firmed up and
continued to advance unit the market
had showed a net gain of II to II
points on active pos tiOnS. At this
level there was considerable realizing
and slight reactions occurred but fresh
buying orders seemed to reach the
market on every little dip and closing
prices were not far off from the top.
1t was considered from the action OF
the market that Big short interests
were less willing to stand on the
Sitlon over the week and the holiday
on Tuesday and the census report on
Wednesday morning than the bulls
were to carry their contracts and pos
slbly approximations of u~nfaVorable
weather in the South following the
storms north of the belt had some in
fluence on the days adj Other
factors in favor Of the advance were
the favorable shOWzng Of the weekend
and figures and the fact that South
ern spot markets as officially report
ed after the close Of the market on
Friday had shown advances Of from
lis TO 3-16c tending to confirm
claims Of a tirmer spot situation as a
result of frost damage reports. More
or less wire troubles was still reported
today delaying Southern news to no
small extent but such few messages
as came through indicated firm spot
holders and a somewhat better de-
mand.
Estimated receipts at the ports to-
day $4,000 bales, against 67,534 last
week and 56,201 last year. For the
week $4,000 bales, aga nst 390.594
last week and 377,3SS last year. To
days receipts at New Orleans 14,24e
bales, against 11.255 last year.
Spot closed quiet, Is 20 nts' ad-
vance: middl;ng uplands 1850; mid
