NEW MAIL CONTRACTOR l.. = : e e
.~ GIVING GOOD SERVICE

Jackson Bros. of Two Harbors
have taken a subcontract for haul
ing the mail from Two Harbors to
Grand Marais. They are both giving
their time to the service and so far
have made prompt deliveries. :.
The new contractors have the
good will of all their patrons and
should be given every encourage
ment in their work. A little cooper
alton on the part of the rural pat
rons in shoveling snow away from
their mail boxes will assist in better
service, as it will take less of the
drivers time to make the deliveries.
Both Lake and Cook counties are
now keeping the road fairly we'll
plowed so it is hoped the bus service
can be continued throughout the
winter. This will be the first winter

tween Two Harbors and Grand Ma

Havn't you heard about it yet?

what they will do about it now.
Well-the answer is simply-come to

Remember everything is reversed
The girls pay the dollar and unes-
corted gentlemen the quarter. And
be sure you don't have to pony up
the fine to be imposed on a long

Don't : think you are out of a
leap-year affair because you're not
single any more, because this is for
both grown-ups and growing-ups.
So do come and let the girls show
you how to have a good time but
don't come if dancing tires you be-
cause there will be no chance for 9

ELY 10 GRAND, NARAls ~ ri. "... ... !.
l ROAD HIGHLY COMMENDED

The following article appeared in
the Forum" column of the Duluth
News Tribune of February 4th: " {
From time to. time l have read
where they were surveying road
through the. bush from Ely to Gun
flint. and so on to Grand Marais. l
wonder if any of you people in Du-
'luth realize how much this road,
once established, will mean not only
to the whole north country but to all
of you who love the out-of doors and
|all of your summer, visitors who
come up this way in automobiles?
There is now an excellent road all
the way from DULUTH to Port Ar
thur and another all the way from
Duluth to Ely. The highway from
Ely to Grand Marais, connecting
with the former road, would COM
plete a triangular trip which would
enclose as we'll as traverse some of
the finest scenery and most notable
country in America.
l have in mind in the first place
Duluth itself, which is unique among
cities. Then comes the region be-
tween Duluth and the iron ranges,
the Lake Vermillion and Ely. Sup
pose now it becomes possible for one
to drive along this route to- Ely,
then turn gradually southeastward
through the magnificent interior
lake country which few but pros
pectors, surveyors, engineers and
trappers have ever seen, to the beau
tiful hills of Saganaga, Knife lake,
Magnet lake, Gunfint, thence
through a broken but remarkable
land of clear, sparkling lakes to
Grand Marais; and ''home'' to Du-
luth, if you will, along the highway
which almost everywhere is within
a little distance of Lake Superior! ,
Excuse me, MIR. Editor, if l seem
to grow poetic, but I know that few
people have been fortunate enough
to see even both sides of this tr-
angle and that those who have
viewed the country through which
the third side passes can be numb
erede inside few hundreds. I hope
the Ely Gunfint- Grand Marais road
will become a fact and that it will
prove a., decided asset to the "Ten
Thousand Lakes association" and
the Minnesota Scenic Highway asso-
citation in their grand work for the
state

we were VlSLed Dy announcer Dig
fire Saturday forenoon, February z,
which completely destroyed the
buildings of Woods & Seglem barber
shop and billiard hall and J. w.
Schoen's theatre and confectionery
store: The Cook County State Bank
building was also badly burned, the
woodwork on the west side of the
building being all destroyed and the
interior of the banking room was
badly damaged. One Of the rooms on.
the second floor was also Quilted.
AS this was concrete building the
fire fighters had chance to do some
effective work and saved consider
able Of the interior r.. ..
The Schoen building was a COM
plete loss. Not a thing was saved
of the contents. The Woods & Seq
lem building was also total loss
but nearly all of the contents were
saved by the heroic efforts of a large
number of the townspeople who car
ried furniture and merchandise to
safety until the flames burned their
clothing. Several had their faces
and hands badly scorched.
The fire started in the Schoen
building from an overheated stove.
Mr.. Schoen had just started a fire
and went to the post office to get
his mail When he returned the
front of the building was so filled
with smoke it was impossible to en-
ter. In a few minutes the whole
west wall was ablaze and catching
in the caves Of the Woods & Seglem
building. Before the fire pump could
be brought down and the water ap-
piled the two buildings were in
blaze, The efforts of the fire fighters
were centered on the bank building
with the above result.
The two small buildings across
the street were saved through the
hard work of bucket brigade. The
Toftey & Co. auto garage caught
and the caves were partly burned
but the damage was slight: The
woodwork of the Toftey & Co. store
was badly scorched and several win
dows were broken from the heat.
The Schoen building with contents
was insured for. $4,000, and the
Woods & Seglem building for $4,000.
The loss to the bank was amply
covered by insurance.
1t was damp, still day which as
sisted materially in fighting the
flames. Had there been the slightest
wind in any direction the loss to our
village would have been much
greater
