Committee Will Hold Meeting This
Week and Baudette Affairs Will
Be Wound Up.
HAVE DONE MUCH GOOD WORK
Many Prominent Men Among Those
Interested Who Gave Up Their
Time to Help Unfortunates.

The Northern Minnesota Red
Cross Relief Committee has about
completed it's work in the burned
district of the north part of the
state
A meeting of the committee is to
be held at Baudette some time dur
ing the present week, and it is ex
pected that it's affairs will be wound
up at that meeting.
1t is impossible to tell the wonder
full amount of good that has been
accomplished by this committee, in it's
efforts to fairly and economically
distribute the vast amount of relief
supplies donated by the good people
The territory embraced within,
the burned district was large, and
relief was extended to nearly four
thousand persons who had lost prac-
tically all of their worldly goods and
many of whom were in sore Distress
The men selected and placed at the
head of this relief, are all men of af-
fairs, and pre-eminently fitted for
this vast Undertaking.
W. A. McGonag1e, the chairman Of
the committee is president Of the
D. M. & N. Ry Co., and resides in
Duluth.
Major H. V. Eva, the secretary,
is secretary of the Commercial
club OF Duluth.
E. T. Lies, vice chairman, is Sec
retary of the associated charities,
Minneapolis.
J. H. Beck, member of the COM
mittee, is secretary of the St. Paul
Jobbers Association, and Kenneth
Clark, the treasurer of the commit
tee, is president of the Merchants
Bank, St. Paul, and is treasurer of
The American Red Cross Association.
All of these men gave their time
to the work of this committee free
of charge, and paid their own ex-
penses.
Necessarily, they had to put other
men in charge at Baudette and other
places, and it is possible that in the
selection of these men, some mistakes
may have been made, but anything
and everything that was brought to
the attention of the committee was
remedied at once, so far as was with
in their power.
Some fault has been found, and it
is not improbable that in few isol-
ated cases, mistakes were made.
There is, however, one thing
notable in the matter of complaints,
and that is, that a great many of
them have come from people who
received more relief than they were
Justly entitled to. +
A great many persons sought re-
lief who were not entitled to any,
and many of these persons are known
to have done a good deal of kicking.
On the whole, however, we believe
it can safely be said, that consider
ing the many difficulties and OBJ
stacles encountered" by the commit
tee, it has done its work well, and
that the Governor, and the people of
the state generally, have reason tC
congratulate themselves upon the
work of this relief committee, and
the fair and just distribution of the
bountiful supplies furnished for the
aid of those in the devastated ter

WEEKLY UNDERWATER, New York; The
figures speak for themselves in attesting the
sound financial condition of the company. AL
though It has been the common experience of
new companies that it takes from ive TO seven
years, and sometimes longer, to put the busi
ness on a money-making basis, yet the Conu-
mental is a notable exception to this general
rule. slight gain in surplus was made dur
ing it's first year of business; 8 per cent net
was earned on capital during the second year
and 1S per cent last year, all of which earnings
have been carried to surplus.

is extraordinary. for new company. for sew
