EXPECT GOOD HOLIDAY TRADE.
Hurley Merchants Are Well Prepared
to Look After the Wants of
the Christmas Shoppers.

The Christmas season is near at
hand and already there are signs of
its approaching. A visit to the
stores reveals large displays of
things for the Christmas shopper
in variety of numbers. Hurley
merchants are we'll prepared to
look after the wants of the holiday
shoppers and it is the general opin-
ion that the holiday trade this year
will be good The holiday shop
pers are not much in evidence yet,
and as it is now too late to shop
early the majority of them will be
numbered among the throngs which
crowd the stores as the season
draws nearer. The coming week
will see the beginning of the rush
and next week it will be at its
height. A number of the local mer-
chants are making use of advertis-
ing space in the local papers to
bring their holiday offerings to the
attention of the public, while 9th
ers are going to trust to luck, hop
ing that ye shopper will be able in
some way to ferret out their places
of business and perchance look
over their line. With prosperity
in evidence on all sides there is
every indication that the holiday
business will be up to standard if
not better than other years. The
Hurley merchants are well prepar-
ed for you, Mr. and Mrs. Shopper,
and when you start out to make
those Christmas purchases don't
forget to look over their lines.

Total Season Tonnage.

Not only have all ore shipping
records been smashed this season
but figures at the Office Of the local
Port Collector Guy Burnham show
that the tonnage of hard and soft
coal received at the docks here have
not been exceeded for many years
Only in three other years accord
ing to the Collector S records has
the coal tonnage reached 900, 900
tons or over and that was in 1910,
1912 and 1918. The record ship

demand from all sources. The fact

Three Thousand Deer Killed.

That the number of deer killed
in Wisconsin this year was less
than one half the number killed in
1914 is evident from the record be
ing made up in the office of the
conservation commission at Madi-
son.
The number reported to date for
the season recently ended is 200
but reports yet to come, Commits
sioner Barber said, probably would
bring the number above 3 5000, all
bucks.
The record for 1914 was 1875
bucks and does. The total in 1913
was s 1863 and in 1912 it was ,8S3.
In former years, Mr Barber is
quoted as saying, fully 90 per cent
OF all the deer killed were does
Upon this basis the slaughter of
does in 1914 was more than 4 400.
What effect the operation Of the
buck law may have as a conserva-
ton Of deer may be easily figured
out from these facts and the illicit
killing Of few does will not effect
the conclusion materially, is the
view - Commissioner Barber.
The number of hunting licenses
issued in the state is somewhat
smaller than last year, according to
the incomplete returns now in the
department.

ORE SHIPPING CLOSES.
Total Shipments This Year Little Short
of Record Year 1913. Next
Year will be Hummer.

helds will establish a shipping re-
cord in 1916 is predicted by prom.
inent mining men on all the ran
ges. Many of the railway com
panies are purchasing new locomo-
tives, cars and other equipment
and the ore carrying fleet will be
increased by a number of new
boats.
Predictions are made for the sea
son of 1916 that as high as SIS, 600
600 and even 90, 900, 900 tons of
ore will be sent to Lake Erie from
the Lake Superior district. YES
sci men declare that the restriction
OF available tonnage will make that
movement impossible; but that
there will be a tremendous increase,
perhaps as high as 50, 900, 900 and
maybe little more, seems certain.
Anyway, unless the steel trade suf-
fers a sudden collapse, next year
will break all records, according to
the belief of mining men and yes
sci men alike; and both are max
ing ready for it.
The season just ended showed a
much larger Improvement than was
anticipated early in the year, when
the iron situation was anything but
encouraging. All of the ore boats
have not yet docked for the winter,
two OF three having been loaded at
the head of the lakes Monday.
Some of the Minnesota docks re-
port an increase of shipments of
100 per cent compared with last
season. All of the docks with the
exception of four are now closed.
The docks of the Duluth & Iron
Range road at Two Harbors and
that of the 500 road at Ashland
closed last week.
The shipments from the Great
Northern docks at Allouex Bay
were not ended until TUESDAY
when the last boat was loaded.
The total shipments of iron ore
from the Lake Superior district
this year are, in the aggregate, II,
700, 500 tons ahead of those of last
season and only 5,297 ,649 tons be
hind those of 1918, which was the
record year. The total shipments
of the three years mentioned were
as follows:

1914. Observation-Disclosures. 81, 800, ,260
1915. 15................... 43, 7sO, 500
The Duluth, Missabe & North
ern company had by far the heavi-
est ore traffic. The tonnage moved
was 15,437, ,419. compared with g.
318, POS in 1914. The shipments
from the Duluth & Iron Range
docks were 8,142, 942 tons, COM
pared with $3.50, 929 in 1914. The
Northern Pacific docks this season
shipped 173,O47 tons, compared
with 127, ,664 tons last year. The
500 docks at Superior shipped 900,

Humphreys, in motion to have the

Judge Strong overruled the motion af-
ter William E. Lee, counsel for the
city resisted the motion.
The case attracted much interest
and the courtroom was comfortably
packed by curious throng. The jury
was made up of Herman Wilson, r.

PET DOG SAVED
A BRITISH CREW
German Submarine Commander Lauds
Captain of Steamer Caucasian for
Bravery in Saving Dog and De-
cides not to Torpedo LifebOats
y the United Press Associations


LONDON, July 2O.-(By Mail.)-
Thirty-eight members of the crew OF
the British cargo steamer Caucasian
torpedoed off the British coast, owe
their lives to dimunitive Pomeran-
ian dog.
The story was told today at head
quarters of the National Canine De-
fense League where Captain Robin
son of the Caucasian was awarded a
silver medal for saving the life of the
dog and consequently the crew.
The Caucasian was torpedoed after
a submarine had pursued the vessel
an hour. While the crew were
swarming into the boats Captain Rob-
inson handed Betty" his wife's ten
months-old Pomeranian dog to the
second mate directing that the animal
be placed in a lifeboat The mate
handed Betty to a member of the
crew who accidently dropped her
overheard.
When the captain entered the boat
he saw the little dog swimming to-
ward the submarine. He Immediately
Jumped into the water and swan
about quarter of a mile. When he
reached the dog he placed it on his
shoulder and was surprised to ind
that he was within few yards of the
submarine. The German officer of the
craft, standing on deck, addressed
him in imperfect English:
II had made up my mind to blow up
your lifeboats because you did not
stop your ship, but will not do so
as a reward for your brave swim to
save your little dog"
Captain Robinson swan back to his
lifeboat and the submarine proceed
ed on it's search for other victims
The crew were picked up by the
British steamer Inglemoor but immec-
lately were forced to take again to
their own boats as the submarine re-
turned and torpedoed the Inglemoor
Captain Robinson, with his dog, and |
crew we're finally rescued by another
steamer and landed at Penzance.
