nifty, and no one who has never seen

Dad Dean, the veteran salesman Of
the Peyton Paper company, showed up
in Virginia the first of the week, after
having taken short vacation necessi-
tated by i'll health. Dad is feeling
quite himself and is boosting harder
than ever for the house of Peyton &
Co., who he says are about to occupy
the finest home they have ever had
and one Of the most modern and best
equipped in the west as we'll. The
firm were burned out several months
ago.
A. Walton, the Mesaba avenue
grocer, returned the first of the week
from trip to the Michigan copper
country. He spent several days at
Calumet and Hancock and visited in
Duluth on his way home. Mr.. WAL
lion says the miners strike has seri-
ously affected business and that both
sides to the controversy have settled
down for a long out and stub
born fight. From a superficial OBJ
servation he has the impression that
public sentiment is with the striking
miners and they seem to be confident
they will win the strike. The chief
point involved is shorter hours, in
crease in wages for the trammers and
recognition of the local organization
Of the Western Federation of Miners.
The latter proposition is being most
bitterly opposed by the companies.
