OF
A SITUATION
Every Possible Effort Should Be
Made To Load and Unload Cars
Promptly.

The Chamber of Commerce wishes
to again call the attention of the
business community to the serious
ness of the car situation. Every pos
sib e effort should be made to load
and unload cars promptly, and to load
to full capacity-not in the interest
of the railroads., or the government,
as they will eventually get all the bus
mess anyyay-but in the interest OF
this community and its welfare. Its
your w town and your next door
neighbor that pays the penalty for ev-
cry unnecessary day or hour that you
delav a car. An edict has gone forth
that embargoes will be p aced lnstan-
ter on all business delaying cars un-
necessarily. Be careful that you do
not suffer directly and maybe very
seriously by your neglect and lndlt-
ference in this matter. 1t IS a mis-
take to suppose that as long as de
murrage is paid, that equipment car
be held. A special campaign IS go
ing to be made right away against
class of dealers who use cars fo1
warehousing purposes, despite the
fact that they may be paying four o.
five dollars a day demurrage. The
cars were made for transportation
purposes, not Warehousing, and thel
use as such is causing a shortage witt
a consequent oss and damage tt
those who want to make Legitimate
use of them. 1t is understood tina
this class of business is going to b
embargoed. The railroad admlnlstra
ton has taken a determined stand t
the effect that the present and pros
p~ective car famine shall not be accen
tuated, and the business of the coun
try paralyzed, by the misuse of 1t
cars for warehousing purposes. Al
, ready, it is said, an embargo has bee
placed against one local concern.

BIG CATCH coueHT in

This sounds like a fish story but it
isn't. Or rather, it's a fish story but
it's true. Mr.. L. L. Simmons and Mr..
Fred R. Paine went on a fishing trip
Sunday to Pigeon River They took
with them Charley .Boostrom of
Clearwater Lake to- act as guide:
They wandered into region where
evidently man has not often trod and
where the. fish had no previous ex-
perience with. hook and line and were
unused to the ways of man. Fifty
beautiful speckled trout, some as
much as pound and a hal, and
weighing in the aggregate forty
pounds, was the prize which they
carried home to exhibit to the en-
vious anglers of the village.

Adanti City, N. J., June 14.-Speak.
Ing before:sthe convention Of the
American Federation OF Labor, Secrs-
tary of Labor Wilson turned his at
tention to Bqlshevism and was hearth
ly applauded when he asserted that
no element OF American labor would
stand for Bolshevism for q moment
when the true meaning of the move
melit Was understood. -...

Der of the laboring people to cause

CANADIAN PARTY STEALS
:.-s PORT ARTHUR CAR

f> On the l3th Of June two men and
a woman, giving their names as Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Stuart and cousin
Chas. M. Perkins, presented them
selves before the Immigration In
spector and Acting Deputy Collector
Joseph Mahan, stationed here, with
the usual customs clearance given
by the Canadian inspector at the
Pigeon River bridge. They were ac-
cordingly granted the usual clearance
papers which gave them the right to
keep their car in the United States
twenty days. However it appeared
that the party had no desire to re-
tain possession Of the car, for: they
Immediately sold it to Iver Anderson
for $4,000, but on account of Ander-
son agreeing to have his son Walter
take the party to the railroad at
Cramer a rebate was made SO that
the actual cash paid was $45.O0.
Under the United State customs
laws the selling of the car was of
course an illegal transaction, as they
had not informed the inspector of
their intention to sell and entry was
not made nor duty paid.
When Inspector Mahan learned of
the selling of the car the party was
we'll on their way to Cramer and Mr..
Anderson, who had bought the car
in good faith, was on his way home
with his new possession. Mr.. Mahan
Immediately sent telegram to the
collector of customs in Duluth, Civ
ing description of party so as to stop
them at Knife River, but owing to
lack of detailed information in re-
card to the matter no steps We're
taken in regard to their apprehen-
ion at that office.
Mr.. Mahan then hired Emil Hall
to go after the car, which they found
had broken down seven miles east
Of here and repairs had to be made
before it could be taken to Grand
Marais, and, it is now stored in the
North Shore garage subject to fur
ther orders.
Inspector Mahan has since been in.
formed by the Canadian custom Of
fee that Stuart and Purkins are only
assumed names; that Stuart's real
name is Duke and Perkins name
Martin, and that the two have re-
"ently been employed in the Port
Arthur shipyards, and that the car
was stolen from a Port Arthur man
named Parker.
There was little confusion as to
the make of the car; the receipt
called it a Buick, while the name
plate on the car is Mclaughlin, but
Mr.. Mahan says that the two makes
are practically the same, the Me-
-aughlin being made up of entirely
Buick parts which are assembled in
Oshawa, Ont, and sold in Canada
under the name mclaughlin.
Stuart claimed to be a mechanical
engineer, Al years old. Perkins
claimed claimed to be an electrician,
26 years old. Both claimed to be
former Canadian soldiers returned
from service.
