Sault ste. Marie, Mich, Dec. Is.
After being marooned five days
on the barren Lizard isle in Lake
Superior, with the temperature
we'll below the zero mark and ap-
parently without food, 23 of the "
missing persons from the ill-fated
tug Reliance have been rescued by
the tugs Gray and Favorite, ac-
cording to meager wireless dis
patch received here late today
from the Gray,
Fate of the remaining four miss
ing persons was not revealed in
the cryptic dispatch flashed by the
Gray's wireless. Search for them
is being continued. Those rescued
include capt. d. A. Williams, mas
ter of the Reliance. Captain John
Mcpherson OF tho Booth Fisher
les, passenger on the craft, is
still missing. The message mem
toned no other names.
Two LlfebOats Found
Hope Of finding any of the miss
ing persons alive virtually was
abandoned here earlier in the day
when the Gray reported the find
ing of two battered lifeboats from
the Reliance. 1t now is assumed
the boats were washed away from
the island after the marooned men
had landed.
The hardships suffered by the
band during their five day i'm
prisonment will, it is believed here,
become new history of the lakes,
When they left the sinking tug
none of them had food, fuel or
firearms. The isle on which they
landed is practically barren and
uninhabited except for q few huts
left by Indians and trappers in past
seasons!

The openings at the different stor-

from many miles aroung and large

Beautiful hats, dresses, shoes, suits
for men and women were on display
at the different business places. A
more beautiful showing than ever be-
fore was witnessed. Some of the stor-

This organization of women is
steadily climbing the ladder of sue
cess. More women are taking an in
terest in this progressive movement,
and keener interest in the affairs of
the race. The Sixth Annual Conven-
tion eclipsed all other conventions of
the Federation and the Seventh prom
ises to be better yet. The Seventh
will be held in Prescott, Arizona in
May.
Phoenix, Arizona had the pleasure
of entertaining the Northwestern Fed
Grafton of Colored Womens Clubs,
this convention proving to be an ep.
och making event for the Southwest
among the colored women. Brilliant
women who are making history for
the race women whose visions are
clear and are not going into the work
OF readjustment blinded by any mar
row prejudices, but with a broad
mindedness that will compel the adj
miration of the world.
While Arizona has only small
membership, they are working hard
for the advancement of the race
nothing is to small or great for them
to take an interest in. To be pres
ent at those conventions and hear re
ports made from the various clubs
is inspiring to those that are ut
and doing for the race and making

CO|Ored Citizens
Of Phoenix Alive
and Progressive
(By A. r. smith)

The last census report places the
Negro population of the United States
at 10,463019. This same report gives
Arizona Negro population of SO05,
and our record shows that $500 of
these Negroes live in Maricopa coun-
ty and upward of 1000 of them in the
city of Phoenix. These citizens con-
stitute more than six per cent of the
total population and are doing their
share in the upbuilding of this city.
In the community at large, indeed,
little is known about us as we really.
are. We, nevertheless, have our own
agencies through which we work and
serve our own and the bigger, outer
world.
