ORE BUSINESS
GOOD---SHIPPlNG
SKILLINGS SAYS MINES STAG.
ING A COMEBACK.

Business is humming on the iron
ranges of Lake Superior. The fam
Gus comeback of the iron and steel
industry is now sharply reflected in
the movement of iron ore.
The Duluth, Missabe & Northern
railroad is moving about 1000 cars
of iron ore daily from the Mesabi
range. The Iron Range railroad is
moving about 400 cars of ore daily
from the Mesabi and Vermihon
ranges. The Great Northern rail-
way is moving about 1900 cars of
ore from the Mesabi. The 500 Line
and the Northern Pacific are moving
re quite freely from the Guyana
range. The standard ore car is of
so gross tons capacity, but the Great
Northern has many that are sched-
uled for rs tons. Great activity
exists on the ore hauling railroads
in Michigan asd Wisconsin.
The ore movement in June will
show figures suggestive of old times
in the ore industry. 1t is quite pos
sible that new records may be es-
tablished for July and August. As
virtually all of the boats in the ore
trade are coming up light for want
of coal cargoes, they are making un-
usual despatch.
Vessel Draft Means Much.
The recommended draft for vessels
plying between Lake Superior and
Lake Erie is 20 feet. 1t is about
normal for this season of .he year.
This is going to b. season when the
vesselmen and shippers will take
especial interest in the depth of
water at Sault Ste. Marie and other
connecting waters of the great lakes,
for it looks as if the bulk of the sea-
sons business will be done in the
last half.
The ore traffic did not get fairly
started until the middle of June, and
the coal movement will not get going
until the strike is ended. With the
bulk of the iron ore to be moved dur
ing the next four months, with the
coal to supply The Northwest to be
moved after the strike ends, and a
heavy movement of graiI.
to begin in September, it is going TO
make lot of difference whether the
draft at the Sault canal is 20 feet or
20 feet l inch. To the casual OBJ
server an inch additional inch of
water for even large lake boat
might not seem especially important,
but it may mean 80 to 100 tons more
cargo, and when there are several
hundred boats constantly coming and
going to take advantage of that
inch of water, the total of additional
tonnage runs into big figures in the
course of weeks and months.-Skil-

FIRE DESTROYS
BEACH HOTEL.
WHITE IRON BEACH INN BURNS
TO THE GROUND EARLY
WEDNESDAY.

The White Iron Beach Inn, the
popular resort on White Iron Lake,
owned and operated by the Superior
National Forest Outing Company.
was totally destroyed by fire early
Wednesday morning. So rapidly did
The fire rage that Mrs. Kolstad and
daughter, who with other employees
occupied rooms in the structure bar
ely escaped with their lives, clad only
in their night clothes.
The fire was discovered at abou.
2:45 o'clock by Jos. Brince an occup-
ant of a cottage hereby and by three
o'clock the shell-like building had
been completely burned. The origin
of the fire is unknown but it is sup
posed that a cigarette stub dropped
by some careless dancer the evening
before was the cause of the blaze The
loss to the company is estimated at
about $4,000, partly covered by in
surance. Il is barely possibly that
the loss is much greater as the hotel
had just been opened for the sea-
son and the seasons business is to
be considered in figuring up the loss.
Manager Yer Byrck and several of
the Outing company officials at once
took steps for caring for the tourists
and a dining hall was established in
the Geo. Brozich cottage. This is
capable of caring for forty people
and with the large number of cot
tages and the ten room dormitory, all
can be taken care of.
1t is understood that the hotel will
be rebuilt as soon as possible. How
ever, this years business can not be
catered to in the new structure, if
built. 1t is to be hoped that new
hotel will grace the beach in short
time as .his has been one of the
beauty spots of this section pointed
to with pride by both visitors and
local people.

G0-AS-YOU-PLEASE
CELEBRATION.
AUTO TRIPS, PICNICING, BASE
BALL, CARNIVAL, DANCING,
RECEIVE ATTENTION.

July Fourth was rather quietly cell
ebrated here Tuesday. For the first
time in the history of the city, the
usual celebration was omitted and ev-
eryone was allowed to indulge in a
go-as-you-please celebration. The
children missed :heir usual good time
and the older ones were also losers
in consequence.
Many left early in their cars for
other parts. Some went to the Mes
aba range towns and spent the day
with friends and attending the exer-
cises in the several cities arranged in
commemOration of the natal day.
Others took their families to the
woods and spent 3he day in the man
ner that took their fancy. Others
went to the resorts about here Win
ton took quite a crowd 60 witness the
Indian dances and t2C carnival cater
ed 20 a large ate l1ance.
In the afternoon the ball game was
the center of aElracIjcn. As can he
Seen by the account in another col
umh, the game was we'll played and
the score left nothing to kick about.
The Indian dances 1t Winton had a
crowd of pleased spectators all day
and late into the night. Indians were
present from all over the country
north of here and many had come
down from Canada 20 participate.
In the evening, dances wound up
the day. The American Legion had
arranged for dances at both the Aud
ltorium and White Iron Beach and
both places had a good patronage.
The Beach Orchestra played at the
Inn and Hanson's Orchestra fur
|nished music at the Auditorium.
Accidents were few considering the
large number of cars on the roads at
all times during the day and night.
Fires were missing during the day.
the only one destroyed the White
Iron Beach Hotel during she night
following. One of the Ahola bows
had his leg broken when hit by a car
and this was the most serious acci-
dent of the day. Oliver Bell had his
hand burned by an exploding fire
cracker. Minor injuries were sustained
by some bu. altogether the day was
devoid of very serious explosions,
runaways and fires incident to the
Fourth of July.
The police court Wednesday morn
ing had grist of minor offenders who
had run afoul of the law by indulging
too literally in the cup that cheers.
Altogether it was rather a quiet day.

The hottest weather of the season
prevailed. in Kansas this week, with
afternoon temperatures of 100 to 1Os
in many localities, according to the re-
ports of correspondents of the weather
bureau, whose reports cover all parts
of the state. No rain fell to relieve
the prevailing droughty conditions
except local showers, mostly in the
northeast counties.
Corn is being badly damaged in all
sections, except the extreme southeast
counties, where it was nearing ma
turity when the dry weather began.
The greatest damage has been to late
corn which has been almost ruined.
but generally over the northern and
western parts of the state all corn is
being forced to early maturity with
the result that much of it will be
chaffy. A great deal is firing badly.
The bulk of the crop has passed the
ing, except in the northwest counties,
where it is net so far advanced. In
the north-central section, where the
drought is especially severe. much
corn has already been cut for silos.
The ground is hard and dry for fall
blowing in all parts and this work is
now making slow progress but, fortu-
nately, so to rs per cent of it had been
done while conditions were more ia
vorab1e.
The weather has been ideal for
threshing, which is well advanced
Putting up prairie hay has also made
excellent progress and the third crop
of alfalfa has been secured in excel
lent condition. In the southwest
counties cutting broomcorn is in full
blast Sugar beets are good in the
Garden City district. Apples and
peaches are doing fine.
Grain sorghums are generally In
head and the bulk OF the crop prom
ises to mature before frost. Pastures
are becoming dry, except in the few
localities that had rain this week.

of fourth degree murder in> connection

people to stay away he said.
