All are wen pleased with the amount
of traffic, especially with the ocean go
ing traffic. Mr.. Dickson states that
traffic is much heavier tnan usual at
this time of the year, and Is surpris-
ing in view OF the recent Titanic dis
aster, which probably frightened many
who had contemplated trips.
There seems TO be no lack OF conf
dence in the safety OF ocean going vcs-

per Range road will run a special car
from Houghton direct TO New York
with large party who will sail from
that city. The special rates and in.
ducements offered by the various
steamship companies in connection
with the olympic games az Stockholm
this year are proving very attractive
and doubtless have contributed much
to increasing the traffic at this time
of the year.

however, to sound third alarm,
bringing all of the fire fighting equip
ment of the city to the scene. Even
with their concerted efforts. 1t was i'm
possible 10 save the structure.
The construction Of the building
made it difficult for the nremen 10

west, north and south. were of brick
veneer and the fourth wall on the side
nearest the Lyric theater was of
wood. The interior was gutted, the
roof and cornices burned off ana the
lloor between the first and second stor-
les destroyed.
The building was erected by Joseph
Either, formerly of Calumet. about iif-
teen years ago. 1t was finished in hard
wood throughout and was entirely
modern. The second floor and the
south half of the first floor was occu-
pied by the Palace Hotel, Walter san

The building was insured for $500
which probably covers large part OF
the loss ana Mr.. Sanders carried $1,000
