home DESTROYED BY FIRE
NEAR LITTLE MARAlS

The home of Mike Thormey, Of
Little Marais, was destroyed by fire
rerecently. The family resided on
the shore of Lake Superior, about
two miles from Little Marais,
There are two girls age II and 9
and a boy age 8. The forest fire
swept down on them and destroyed
their house and chicken coop. All
the chickens were cremated, and all
their fishing nets were destroyed.
The horse and cow saved themselves,
but all the hay which was stored to
keep them through the winter was
destroyed. The children were saved
by their father who carried them to
the lake and poured water on their
burning clothes. The family saved
nothing in the way of food and ex-
ira clothing.
The loss of the fishing nets was a
particularly hard one, as the best
fishing season is now on, and the
fishermen make their years profits
during the fall months.
Nothing could be more appealing
than the plight of family sudden
ly left homeless, without food or
clothing or means of earning their
living, on the bleak shores of Lake
Superior with winter rapidly ap-
preaching.
The Duluth Herald has started
subscription list to supply the i'm
mediate needs of the family and they
will make an effort to rush fishing
equipment to him from Duluth.

NO I IS A
Business PROPOSITION

Amendment No. l, to be submitted
at the November election, is a busi-
ness proposition for the State of
Minnesota.
The state owns 100000 acres of
land. In it's present state the land
produces nothing. 1t pays no taxes
and is not being improved. When
it is sold the proceeds will 20 into
the permanent school fund there to
draw interest for the support of the
school system; the land itself will 20
on the tax rolls and the taxable
wealth will be increased; the land
will be improved and add to the
farm production Of the state.
Under Amendment No. l, the
State will be empowered to use tenn
porarily $250,000 as revolving fund
partially to improve the remaining
state land and make it more attrac-
tive to purchasers, the cost of i'm
provements to be added to the ap-
praised minimum price of the land
and returned to the state by the
purchaser.
The amendment will permit the
state to make an investment that
promises rich returns, without a
chance of loss.
Failure to vote for an amend
ment is the same as vote against
it. Don't fail to vote for Amend
ment No. l.

JOHN DWAN BOOSTED FOR
MEMBER STATE FAIR BOARD
Vacancy Caused by Resignation Of
6. p. Craig Who Was Only Man
From Northeastern Minnesota.

The Two Harbors Journal News
has the following on the subject:
"Mr. John Dwan, of this city, has
ben solicited by a large number of
prominent and representative people
in northeastern Minnesota to con-
sent to have his name presented as
a candidate for a position on the
State Fair Board to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr..
Charles P. Craig, of Duluth.
Mr.. Craig has ben a member of
the state fair board for a number
OF years, and at present is the only
member of that body from this
part of the state, and the people
of northeastern Minnesota feel that
the man selected to fill the vacancy
should be resident of this section
of the tate.
In commenting editorally in re-
gard to the matter the Duluth Even
ing Herald of the 10Th inst. has the
following to say:
1T is good news that the friends
of the Minnesota State Fair here
;abouts have prevailed upon John
Dwan, of Two Harbors, to accept
their support as a candidate for
member of the state fair board to
succeed Charles P. Crage. Mr..
Crage's place should be filled from
Northern Minnesota, for Mr.. Crage
is at present the only Northern Min
nesota member among the nine who
constitute the board, though Nor
thern Minnesota has been of increas-
ing Importance as a factor of the
fair. His place couldn't be better
filled than with Mr.. Dwan. He has
been active and useful in all work
to develop the state. He is presi-
dent of the Lake County Develop
ment Association; he has been active
and effective in the work of the
Northern Minnesota Development
association form it's beginning; he
is one Of the incorporators Of the
An-Minnesota Development associa-
tion that has lately joined hands in
the work of developing the best and
UTMOST of Minnesota's possibilities.
He has been one of the most active
among those who have made the ex-
cellent Lake County fair, and is now
vice-president of the Lake County
Agricultural association. The de-
mand for his selection is not confn-
ed to Duluth by any means, bat
evidences of it have come from other
parts of the state, and not from
Northern Minnesota alone. He is
the logical man. He is unusually
competent, he is widely known, and
those who attended the last annual
meeting of the state agricultural So
ciety will all remember him for an
address of outstanding merit. North
ern Minnesota, and particularly
Northeastern Minnesota, will, we
feel assured, find leasure in getting
behind Mr.. Dwan's candidacy to a
man.
There is no man in northeastern
Minnesota who has ben a more con-
sistent booster for the agricultural
development of this section of the
state than has Mr.. Dwan; there is
no man in this section of the state

Did 1t ever occur to you that the
American flag is not our aag-but the

IF l may be permitted to add to this
beautiful sentiment I would say:
When my eyes shall be turned to

heaven. may my last feeble and linger-
ing glance behold this glorious ensign

tant star added. and that the center

great republic around which center
star clusters the galaxy of stars rep

of Columbia. more than to all the
states, its rule and it's governor.

TURKEY SOON TO ADOPT
UNDICTATED TARIFF LAW
Will Revise Schedule of Duties for
First Time Unhindered by
Foreign Powers.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
CONSTANTINOPLE, June e.-Turkev
is about to adopt its first tariff law
unhindered by foreign interference.
Up to the outbreak of the war the gov
ernment's hands were bound by obliea-
tons undertaken in connection with
the public debt. so that it was not able
to change its tariff without the con-
it to their interest to keep the Turkish
duties as low as possible. For MANY
years they kept them at per cent ad
Vaiorem, and lower. Turkish states
men often pointed out that the duties
were too low to yield sufficient reve-
nue.. and the government long demand
ed their consent for an increase. Ger
many gave its consent about fifteen
years ago. but England and France
refused till several years ago, when
they agreed to an increase to II per
cent. Soon after Turkey Joined the
central powers and entered the war the
government denounced the so-called
capitulatlonS" or arrangements which
gave the foreign powers special rights
in Turkey, including their control over
the tariff system.
After waiting more than a year the
government has now brought in a bill
for revising the tariff. 1t is, for most
articles. very moderate measure,
fully tWo-thirds of the duties ranging
between only 10 and Is per cent Most
other articles range between 20 and so
per cent. and few are as high as 100
per cent. These highest duties are in
tended for the protection of agricul-
ture and some manufactured goods
There is small free list, which in
cludes school books not bound and
other educational supplies. Agricul-
tural machinery also is put on the
free list in the interest of the farmers.
Among dutiable articles there is no
uniform tendency to increase duties; in
fact, about one-sixth of the list shows
even lower duties than are now paid.
