T =, Governors Of seven coal-producing
states: have been petitioned by the
executives of the five Northwestern
states to use every effort to, bring
about settlement of the coal strike
and thereby avert a fuel famine.
That action, with a joint proclama-
ton to the people Of the N. w. urg-
ing use Of coal-substitutes and a tele-
gram to Herbert Hoover, Secretary of
Commerce, urging strict maintenance
of the Hoover prices, completed the
work of the governors of fives North
western states held in St Paul. J.
The appeal sent >out by the five gov
ernors to- the seven coalproducing
states follows: =
'*The states of Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and
Wisconsin are suffering severely
from the fuel famine which per
vades the country. We earnestly so
licit your good offices towards, the set

have supplied our people with coal in

Whereas, there exists an acute
scarcity of coal due to labor disputes,
which have suspended the working Df

wise to take over coal loadin carriers

FORT WILLIAM
PEOPLE HERE
THE BAND cONCERT SUNDAY
AT COURT HOUSE GROUNDS

as.sa Gtizens from. the enterprising city
of Fort William, Ont, with their
City Band, visited Grand Marais last
Sunday as compliment to this COM
munity. The band gave concert in
the court house grounds. The music
was soft and sweet though of large
volume. The program Of pieces rem
dered we are unable to furnish, but
the selections showed good taste
1t was not Of the ragtime variety.
To say that the presence of these
visitors and the high-class concert
which was given in our honor was
appreciated is mild way of ex-
pressing our feelings. The band is
a credit to the City of Fort William.
DR.. F. B. Hicks, president of the
Cook County Automobile club, made
a few remarks thanking the FortWil-
liam people and led a chorus of
cheers, for them.
There is some rivalry between the
two towns known as the Canadian
Twin" Ports. Some American papers
beyond the confines Of our own vii
lage are too prone to mention Port
Arthur when they mean Fort Will
liam, and when it CONCERNS Fort Will
liam or her citizens, independent of
the first named town. This is OBJ
jected to :strenuously by the people
Of this It enterprising city And justly
50. Fellow people, do not forget that
there are two towns across the river.
Fort William which is reached first,
and Port Arthur z just Beyond. If we
have ever been. guilty, of this! gross
discarrimi ri mination, we hunbly apologize.
Horace ", Robinson, of Fort Will
liam, prompted us to write the fore
going paragraph when he cautioned
US Sto remember that 1T was a Fort
William and! not a. Port Arthur band
A copy of our paper was handed to
him hin TO show that we did not err.

SUSPENDED MASTER |s
 GIVEN BACK LICENSE

SEATTLE, March 15.-As result of the decision of the United States court that the suspension of his mas ter's license was illegal, Capt. John Alwyn, who has been working at a head watchman at the Shipping Board mooring since last summer plans to re- turn to the sea as a commander. His license was suspended last July for two years by Capt Wm. Fischer, su. pervising inspector of the Steamboat Inspection Service in the Seattle dis. trict. Judge Neterer held that the suspension was without warrant of law.
 The local board of the Steamboat Inspection Service exonerated Captain Alwyn from any blame for the disaster in which his ship, the West Hartland, rammed and sank the passenger liner Governor last year. Captain Fischer, the superior officer on the local board then suspended Alwen. Through his torney, Howard c. Cosgrove, Captain Alwen carried the case to the Federal court. Judge Neterer held that the supervising inspector can hear such cases only when an appeal has been taken from the local board.
