the coming Of the Rotary Clubs of
Duluth, Superior, Port Arthur and
Fort William. These clubs have ar
ranged to be here Saturday and Sun
day, of next week, July 10Th and
Goth, and as the village will no doubt
be overcrowded and sleeping quar-
ters at a premium it will be up to
the people Of the village to do every
thing they can in the way Of provid-
ing rooms, and anyone who can pro-
vide~ one or more rooms will kindly
list them with some member of the
Commercial club or come to the
meeting Monday night.
This is a matter of public interest,
or at least should be, and everyone in
the village should do their part.

-s.-,.-ss ATTRACTS TOURISTS.
Grand Mara;. Has 4 Charm Which
~,> Once Felt Can Never. . -: :.
Be- Broken.

They are coming, those tourists
who have felt the charm of our little
village and find it grips them more
and more as the season advances,
until they cannot help themselves,
all nature is calling them and they
must take a run up here where the
Lake Superior breezes blow and
where one is safely away from the
burning heat of the Southland, and
catch a mess Of those beautiful
speckled trout that are so abundant
in the thousands of babbling brooks
that leap and play in the sunshine.
And from all over the states they
come Michigan, Illinois, Kansas,
Wisconsin, Nebraska, yes and even
from Kentucky. And when once they
come they are sure to come again.
For here we have nature as it has
always been, untouched by any
spelling process. And the road from
Duluth to Port Arthur is one that
rain or wind does not spoil-a fine
gtaveled highway that leads on and
on through Whispering pines and
signing birches, over murmuring
streams with speckled beauties and
past wonderful waterfalls. No Won
der that Grand Marais is bound to
become one of the greatest of sum-
mer resorts, only waiting to be dis
covered in order to be enjoyed!

STEAMER LIBERTY AND s:4-s.
i. PART Of DOCK BURNS
Grand Marais Witnesses Beautiful
But Destructive Spectacle -.
Sunday Evening.

The people of Grand Marais were
witnesses to "a most beautiful but
destructive spectacle when the
steamer Liberty and part of the
dock burst into flames as if by magic
last Sunday evening. -.
At first it seemed as if the whole
dock was on fire. Every line of the
burning boat could be plainly seen
outlined in tongues of flames and the
red rafters of the burning fish house
on the dock were wildly outlined
against the rocks. 1t was a calm
night, the moon was up above the
white lighthouse, and the whole
panorama with the burning Liberty
in the foreground was reflected in
the water.
After a time the rope attaching
the steamer Liberty to it's. mornings
burnt and the boat drifted out in
the harbor. For a time it seemed as
If it were going out into the lake
but instead it drifted over toward
the old mill and landed on the rocks
where 1t burned all night and most
of the next day, until now nothing
remains of the once beautiful ship
but the burned out boilers and mass
of scrap iron.
The cause Of the fire has not been
determined. The chief engineer says
that he and fireman had stayed up
to watch and were strolling on the
dock when they saw light. They
both ran for the boat but before
they reached it it was all ahame and
for the next few minutes they were
too busy getting the men out of the
boat to think of anything else. Some
of the men were forced to leave with
only part of their clothes, one of the
crew lost $40 and the chief engineer
is said to have lost about $500 worth
Of tools and a new suit of clothes,
The captain and one of the crew
both lost their shoes.
The Liberty carried an insurance of
$4,000 and is owned by the Scandia
Fish company.
The loss at the dock is estimated
at $1,000, two buildings, a fish house
and building used as a garage were
burned to the ground and part Of
the dock destroyed.
An interesting but sad sequel to the
excitment was experienced by Bill
Moses. Moses was going to Lutsen
Sunday evening and having $50 in his
pocket did not wish to carry it on
his person, so in, his hurry he stuck
it in the toe of a pair of shoes be-
longing to Jim Woods, thinking they
would be safe there until his return.
When one of the crew of the Liberty
came along without any shoes jim
Woods took pity on the fellow and
remembering that he had a pair up
stairs, gave him the pair with the
sixty dollars in. When Moses re-
turned and missed the shoes investi-
cation followed, but the shoes and
the man were gone,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MARKET WAS ACTIVE.

New York, Nov. 3.-Trading in stocks was again active and broad to- day. but the undertone suggested a de- gree of caution such as frequently characterizes a session sandwiched between two holidays.
 Developments over the week end were favorably interpreted for the most part. General conditions as out lined by the federal reserve board and latest advices relating to the indus trial situation seemed to afford ground for considerable speculative encour- sgement.
 There was big demand for call money, as all loans made held until the middle of the week. The opening rate of 10 per cent. ruled just before the close, when a few loans were re- ported at as low as per cent.
 In it's main essentials the market traversed the ground made familiar by last weeks extensive operations steels and allied equipments once more leading the irregular advance with leather, tobacco. paper and food shares.
 Oils also had their periods of ac. tiyity and strength. the demand fol Sinclair at time being so large as tc excite comment. Gains among oils and affiliated issues ranged from 2 to { points, subject to downward revision! later.
 Not until the last hour did the au. tonobile division manifest definit. trend. General Motors then being rush. ed upward at an extreme gain of 2i points to the new high record of 40: and finishing only 4 points under 1t. maximum. .a,
 Gains among steeis ranged from ;. 10 points, some of this advantage, a, in the case of Republic. proving onl, temporary, but the strength of equip, ments. as featured American Car Harvester and Westinghouse at gros gains of to 10 points was but slight ly impaired Sales amounted to 1,775, 0eo shares.

NO BREAK OF CONSEQUENCE
 ON FIRST DAY, OF COAL STRIKE

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Today, the first real test day in the nation wide strike of bituminous coal miners, passed without break of any yconse- quence in the general cessation of reduction despite the inactivity of the leaders of the. United Mine Workers of America because of the govern ments restraining order.
 During the day th4. was further movement of troops n affected areas, although only one minor disturbance was reporetd. Although there was a report that a ] break among union miners had oc- cured in the northern West Virginia fields, where, 1t was said, fifteen mines were in operation, miners and operat- ors alike asserted that the produc- ! ton of solt coal was paralyzed. Ii also was reported that some union ! miners resumed work in one Colorado mine when operato1\ and union Of l ficials agreed upon a settlement where 1 by operators would make such wage | increases as were later made effective l in eastern fields.
 Non- Union Mines in. Operation. Non-union mines in Pennsylvania and West Virginia were in operation | today with almost the usual working 1 forces. Union leaders admitted that because of the restraining order, they were doing nothing to induce non union workers to walk out. In Ohio five of six stripping companies were | operating.
 With approximately 25,000 miners idle, according to union leaders claims, conceded by most of the op. orators, consumers were beginning ts feel the effects of the strike in pro- duction. Thousands of cars of coa were being confiscated by the fedora. railroad administration. a few schools l were closed in remote laces, and in z number of communities water anc electric companies, were affected.
 While operators generally wer, making no attempts to mine coal, re. ports from the various fields in 9 states said that whistles were blowr this morning in many mines with $ utilei hope that enough workers migh
 be induced to return to open tn, mines. l Operators e thu o'Gara mine ir Illinois, which furnished coal tt Camp Grant cantonment were unable to resume work today despite an or ' der from the Quartermaster general
