THAT SILK HOSE MAY HAVE
BEEN MADE OF WOOD

New York-Turning trees into silk
stockings has become an important
industry in the United States in re-
cent years. During the last fiscal year
more than 100000 pairs of stockings
made from artificial silk, obtained
from wood pulp, were exported, the
National City bank says. The United
States has now become one of the
leading world producers of artificial
silk.
From being a large importer of this
product, this country has become
considerable exporter. While the tex
tiles made from the artificial fiber are
not yet fully equal to those produced
from the natural silk, the growing use
of the artificial silk is illustrated by
the fact that our imports of artificial
silk, chiefly in the form of yarns or
threads, aggregated about $30,000,000
in the last decade. With the opening
of the war the supply from Germany
and Belgium was entirely suspended
and that from Great Britain and
France materially reduced.

and grounds are being artistically de-
corated, emblems of the allied nations
now battling on European soil -drap-
ing both interiors and exteriors.
Since the Inauguration of the expo
sition, it has been the policy of the
management to spare no expense to
insure perfection in every detail.
Owing to increased cost of material
and labor, these details might have
been neglected this year, but the di-
rectors decided that it would be
doubtful economy and the high stan
dard of previous years will be main
tanned if not excelled.
When the gates of the exposition
are opened on November Both for the
great live stock roundup of the season,
the public will realize that regardless
of obstacles and abnormal conditions
nothing essential to the success of the
exposition has been overlooked.

came from woman In n Pennsyl-
vania town where the station was UNI
kept. The writer said that she knew
that the station agent was doing all
thatah e could, but that she realized
that 1t was impossible for him with
the help at his disposal to keep things
in a presentable condition, and she
offered to organize a committee of wo-
men who would undertake to sweep,
out and clean the station daily as a
part of their war work. 1t has not
yet been decided whether it would be
expedient to accept this offer, but the
admirable public spirit that it ex-
presses is entiltde to appreciative re-
cognition.
Z. The departure and arrival of
trains at inconvenient hours and seed
ules which are arranged to prevent
rather than facilitate close connec-
tions between trains on roads that
were formerly in competition are mat
ters that are complained of in still an
other group of letters, many of which
have been helpful to the officials who
ever since the United States Railroad
Administration was organized have
been trying to coordinate the railway
timetables of the various roads.
Now that competition is eliminated,
there is every reason why the nation
al timetable should be synchronized
as far as possible. Efforts are being
made toward this end, but the ar
rangement of a railroad schedule is a
matter of infinite completely and its
Encouragement is even more difficult.
There are many communities in the
United States where the whole scheme
of living has become adjusted to the
arrival and departure of certain
trains. To change their time would
involve almost a social revolution.
Then again a single change In sche-
dule may compel hundreds of other
changes at other points or on other
roads, and each innovation must be
carefully studied. Some improvements
have already been made, and ulti-
mately, no doubt, large portion OF
the time now wasted on waiting for
connections can be saved; but in the
| efforts to attain the ideal in this as in
other respects great care must be
used to avoid dropping a monkey
wrench into the machinery that is al
ready working fairly we'll,
This about completes the list of
what have come to be called "conven-
tional grievances" in the Bureau for
Suggestions and Complaints. or
course, it does not include many 9TH
err things that are complained of, nor
does it take account of the innumer-
able suggestions that are made for the
improvement of the service. Some of
these suggestions are practicable and
have been thankfully. Others, as, for
instanceff, a bachelors advice that a
nursery car reserved for mothers and
children should be run upon every
train, are impracticable.
Complaints of discoWtesy on the
part of employees are less frequent
than might have been expected and
are about equal in number to the let
ters of commentator received.

INFLUENZA FIGURES
New York Times)

There is a chance that a good many
people have been unnecessarily
alarmed - certainly some have been
by the tables that are printed every
day or so showing how the influenza
epidemic is affecting and increasing
mortality rates here and in other
parts of the country. The figures given
do reveal, indeed, that the disease is
serious one. Understanding of them
does not contradict that Judgment of
it, or even hint that we have been
more scared than hurt But when 1t is
stated, for instance, that the death
rate in Philadelphia in the fourth
week of the pedidemic was 1853 per
1000 of population, or that of New
York so per 1000, the meaning is not
that 1853 Philadelphians and so New
Workers in every 1000 died that week
but merely that such would be the
rate for a whole year if the ravages
of the disease should continue for that
length of time to be what they were
in that week.
The 1853 and the so would have to be
divided by So to get the weekly rate,
and by 1856 to get the daily rate, and
the same is true for the other figures
in the tables.
New York's normal death rate is in
the neighborhood of IL, varying from
year to year, and till now it has been
going slowly, but steadily, downward
with the advance of medical and san
itary science. Usually, or at least
often, epidemics to not apDreciably in
crease the mortality rates; the com
mon result of them is that a good
many particularly susceptaible people
people die of single disease instead
of becoming the victims of the other
maladies that would have carried
them off in ordinary times. That, how
ever, is not true of this affliction. 1t
seems to be particularly selective of
those whose natural expectation of
llfe,' as the actuaries say, is high
while the little children and the old
or elderly are comparatively safe from
its attack. But this comparative i'm
munity is probably due to their less
exposure to heavily infection, not OF
age or lack of power to resist the more
familiar maladies.

at stake. The question simply was
should the people send the county
ring back into the courthouse OF
should a change be made? He de-
clared that it made no difference
whether they combined with the
democrats or anyone else, if the ring
could be broken. The speaker main.
tanned that ticket should be put UP
which could be supported by every
one against the county courthouse
ring. He also expressed the firm be-
lief that opposition to joining with
the democrats was prompted by
friends of those holding the county
offices.
Hugh A. Wetmore, who later be-
came Buffalo Bill's brother-in-law,
and who then edited the Peoples
Press, thought that the Peoples

to elect it's own candidates. Wet

list, was supporting Judge Searle, the
republican candidate for congress,

didate of the Peoples Party.
"Such talk is nonsense" exclaimed
Mr.. Canning. "There are men in the
Peoples Party in this county who
today. are not supporting the nomi-
nees of the party"
That held Wetmore for the re-
mainder of the convention.
Considerable time was consumed
in the selection of candidates but the
list, when completed, was as follows,
viz:
County auditor, A. F. Rudolph.
The candidate taught drawing in the
Central high school and, later, was
architect of the present central Car
negie library.
Herman Hansen was nominated
for register of deeds and Mrs. Susan
Banks defeated Belle Calverly for
the nomination for superintendent of
schools.
Judge Phineas Aver was put on
the ticket for judge of probate, he
usually being the choice of all par
ties.
R. H. Palmer beat w. w. Butchart
for nomination for county commits
sioner in the Third district. Fred
Swenson was nominated for the
Fifth district.
John Jenswold an K. o. Balstad
were made the legislative nominees.
Adjournment then was taken to some
time prior to October 10, subject to
chairman Jenswold' s call, at which
time it was expected to come to a
proper understanding with the demo-

gave as a gift to the church the
ground on which the cathedral now
stands and in which the wedding
ceremony will take place.
1.-THE bride is an accomplished and
charming young woman and will
prove quite an addition to Duluth's
social circles. The groom, Frank
Burrows, is too we'll known in Du-
luth business and social circles to
need any introduction. His business
talents and answering integrity
have been largely instrumental in
placing the Great Eastern (now the
Columbia clothing store) in it's pres
ent proud position as one of the lead
ing business concerns of the north
west.
"After the ceremony the bride and
groom will visit Boston, New York
and Washington for a month, after
which they will come to Duluth and,
for the present, reside at the M. S.

PROHIBITIONISTS NOMINATED
CONGRESSMAN IN 1892.

. Although the prohibition party
has been merged into the National
party, twenty-six long, weary years
ago, It was small party, padding
quietly along through the Dry desert
never looking to the GASES on the
right and on the left.
Tuesday, September IA, 1892, Ed

Ear D. Scott, C. E. Shannon, Rev.

A movement to nominate Prof. A.

down, although many expected either
formal nomination or an endorse

SMOOTH CROOK RAISED DRAFT
ISSUED BY DULUTH BANK.

SMOOTH CROOK RAISED DRAFT
ISSUED BY DULUTH BANK.
Away back in 1892, Messrs.
Stewart & Britts owned the St. Louis
County Bank at the West End. C. A.
Britts was cashier.
August %, 1892, a distinguished
looking man with gray whiskers,
giving the name of George c. HAM
lin, came up to the cashiers desk
and purchased draft in the sum of
SIS on the Security Bank of Mime
apolis.
When the Duluth bank got it's
monthly statement there was a diff
ference in the balances of the two
banks in the sum of $1,782. Inves-
tigation revealed the fact that the
draft for SIS had been raised most
cleverly to $1,000. q
Hamlin personally cashed the
draft at the Minneapolis bank. His
distinguished manner and the easy
way in which he transacted the bust
ness, coupled with the fact that
cashier Britts' endorsement was on
the back of the draft, enabled the
clever crook to turn the paper into
cash without any Identification, an
officer of the bank personally attend
ing to the matter.
The date of the draft was changed
from August % to August 81. The
draft was on bond paper and the face
value was cut into the paper with a
Williams check perforator. Hamlin
neatly pasted in the dollar mark
where cut out and two ciphers and a
dollar mark were added.
Hamlin was found to be a most
clever crook. A short time before,
he had worked a similar scheme on
two Detroit banks for $1,000 and
$500, respectively. Substantial re-
wards failed to turn him up.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEALS IN
SEASON OF 1892.

Although the Big Panic was COM
ing on apace and the Big Boom in
real estate had greatly collapsed,
some substantial real estate deals
were put through now and then
twenty-six years ago this summer.
In June, 1892, the Massachusetts
Real Estate Co. bought the Fargus-
son block on the S. w. corner of
Superior st. and Fourth Ave. w. for
$4,000. The building burned down
the next December. After some time,
a one-story structure was erected
and, a few years ago, second story
was added. The home of the Rip
saw is now on that second floor.
= Tuesday, September 6, 1892,
Messrs. Munger & Markell sold the
Phoenix block to the Massachusetts
Real Estate Co. for $225,000. The
deal was worked through by Alex
amber S. Wilson, then an alderman
as we'll as active in real estate. Porte
w. Hewins, president of the Boston
syndicate, was present when the deal
was closed.
The Phoenix block stood exactly
then as now. Situated on the N. E.
corner of Superior st. and Fourth
Ave. w., it had street frontage Of
1875 it. and an avenue frontage of
145 #. The Duluth post-office was
located on the alley side of the build
ing at that time, the entrance being
the one now used by Orr & Makow-
skis printing office.
The Boston company also acquired
the Langellier block ON Second St..
and about 1000 feet on Fourth st.,
between Third and Tenth avenues
East. A policy of.erecting residence
flats on the Fourth St. holdings al
ready had been adopted.

DULUTH NEWSPAPER MEN TOOK
A BOAT EXCURSION.

A quarter of a century ago, Du-
luth's daily papers made a real effort
to print marine news and to conduct
real marine departments. Vessel
owners also appreciated newspaper
writer's and took great pains to make
life pleasant, if not profitable, for
them.
Sunday, September II, 1892, the
late B. B. Inman invited all the news
paper men in Duluth to take an ex-
cursion on the tug D. M. Darlington
to Two Harbors, where he enter
tanned them at dinner at the old
Lakeview hotel. A local writer, pre-
sumably the irrepressible Charles G..
Brown, recorded the events of the
day in words something as follows,
viz:
"There were several absentees
from the newspaper mems excursion
to Two Harbors yesterday. A. c.
Pearson had a cold. O. T. Wick had
a girl. Frank Wyman fell off his
bicycle and fractured an idea. Ralph
Mckenzie could not wake up in time
to catch the boat.
"The excursion was rendered the
newspaper men by Commodore B. B.
Inman on the tug D. M. Darlington,
Capt. Benson master and James SUIT
ton chief engineer.
"It took just two hours and ten
minutes to make the trip from Du-
luth to Two Harbors. On the way
down, Arthur M. Miller said:
"'Capt. Benson, let me take the
wheel for little spell.
"' I'm sorry,'" replied Capt. Ben
son, "'but nobody but a licensed
pilot can take the wheel while I am
in command.
"'That's right, Captain replied
Miller, 8" here are my papers
"Mr Miller Herewith flashed on
Capt. Benson a first class pilots Ii
cense, covering all Northwestern
lakes and rivers.
"'Take the wheel. Commodore,
just as long as you wish,' was Capt.
Benson's reply"
On the way down to Two Harbors,
George F. Cook was missed. Search
found him asleep in a bunk in the
cabin. The party embraced the fol-
lowing members of editorial. and
business STATS of papers then doing
business in Duluth, together with a
few outsiders, viz:
P. S. Anneke, Arthur M. Miller, A.
j. Frantz, Charles F. Frantz, e. H.
Hannegan, Charles F. Macdonald, c.
C. Brown, S. Forgy, and A. F. Wig
dahl. Geo. F. Cook did the honors
for the News and C. e. Tvedt for
the Tribune. A. F. Hammond repre-
sented the Pioneer Press and S. H.
Barto the st. Paul Globe.
In those good old days the Twin
City papers maintained bureaus" in
Duluth and had a staff of men in
charge. -,
