ARRIVED Mere SUNDAY

On Saturday night about dozen
cars arrived in the village, laden with
tourists for their first visit in Grand
Marais, via the North Shore Boule-
ward. On Sunday about twenty-five
more cars arrived, and our hotel
facilities were taxed to capacity to
take care of all the guests. To their
credit it must be said that by enlist
ing number of spare rooms in res
licences in the village, all the visitors
were provided for. The heavy rain
which we had all day Sunday made
our road little slippery, but no
complaints were made on the road in
Cook county. The Lake county road
between Finland and Cramer was
pretty badly cut up and quite a
number of cars were mired and had
to have assistance to get out. The
visitors were all pleased with their
trip to Grand Marais, and most of
them promised to come again, with
hope that weather conditions
would be more favorable for the trip.
Among the visitors were: Mr.. and
Mrs. c. H. Taylor, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
F. Dennis, Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Jones,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Chisholm, Mr..
and Mrs. E. H. Window, Mr.. and
Mrs. Matt Gasser, Mr.. and Mrs.. P.
Johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. johnson,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Harlan, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. A. Beck, Mr.. and Mrs. r. j.
Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Hill, Mr..
and Mrs. F. E. Pattison, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. w. Hopes, Mr.. and Mrs. c.
D. Velie, Miss Claudia Gowan, Miss
Hopes, Miss Mary Gasser, Messrs.

Of CASCADE RIVER
MADE By r. p. mcWlIl An
Possibility Of Developing Water
Power for Electric Power
and liuhf.

F. D. Mcmillan, ofMinneapolis, has
completed primery survey of the
Cascade River for the purpose Of
considering the possibility of putting
in a dam and developing power
plant and furnishing this village and
community with electric power and
light. The survey shows that a fall
of about $50 feet can be secured on
a comparatively short distance. The
installation of plant giving this
village electric light and power would
be great improvement and would
be we'll patronized.

4 few weeks ago, when the prices
Of tobacco in England were increased.
many smokers reluctantly relinquished
their favorite brands and bought
cheaper mixtures. After a week or
two some Of them gave up the search
for suitable substitute and returned
to their old loves. Now the smoker is
to have a further trouble, for 1t is
said that there will be radical altera-
ton in the nature Of a large number
of tobaccos The reason for this is
that soon the stocks Of latakia in
England will have been exhausted and
as this tobacco comes from Turkey
there will be no further supplies until
the war is ended. Latakia is an in
tegral part Of large number Of mix
lures. and the flavor Of all will be at
fected by the change. Most Of the la
takia Is grown in the hinterland
around the ancient town Of Latakia, in
Asia Minor, and none, It Is said, Is
grown outside Turkish territory. So
smokers will be called on to make an
other sacrifice.-Boston Transcript

wealthy farmer. After wounding
Sheriff Dieker and Deputy Sheriff
Olendorff he set fire to the barn.
With the building in flames, he
came to the deer and waved his hands,
asking that he be permitted to sur
render. His appearance called for
more than a thousand shots. He fell
back into the barn and his body has
not been recovered. Sheriff Dieker
died Of his wounds late this afternoon.
Shortly after noon fifty men started

Beef evidently is still salable but
the fact can not be overlooked that re-
storation of the years high prices this

all around the market circle that

impulse and in return has been fur
nshed with convincing evidence that
values are legitimate. What must be
guarded against is an excessive sup
ply next week. The visible supply
is by no means excessive il prop
erly distributed. Feast and famine
runs mean wide fluctuations. and such
conditions play into killers hands.
Had today's run been tucked into that
Of yesterday, the advance would have
been much less. A good example OF
the efficiency Of supply has been given
this week and the country should
profit by il. Light receipts in the
west have been a strong prop under
the market and as any accumulation

War Would Not Suffice.

The panoply Of war will not save the
country unless the situation which he
sees is remedied, in the opinion of Sen
ator Thamas On this. he said in his
speech:
Mr.. President, that sort Of prepare
ton is Indispensable to the success OF
all others. for without the national feel
ing, that oneness of purpose, that love
of country. that exaltation Of American
institutions above every other earthly
consideration, all the armies and all
the navies, the panoply of war. the
captains and the shouting, will be I'M
availing If the crisis Of the nations ex-
istence, which God forbid. should ever
confront our people"
It is in the development since the
European war of latent race tendencies
in the composite citizenship Of the
land, causing sympathy with this bel
ligerent or that. that Senator Thomas
sees some of the signs of lack of ma
tional cohesiveness and unity. In effect.
he pleaded for an Americanism in
which hyphens would have no place.
