Ford leases
Duluth Dock
TRANSACTION CAUSES MUCH
5 CONJECTURE AS TO FUTURE
PLANS OF FINANCIER

Henry Ford has obtained a one-
year lease on the Superior Coal &
Dock company property, Thirty-sev-
enth avenue west and bay front, Du-
luth, it was announced by Oscar
Mitchell, one of the rceivers of the
property.
The lease will probably be signed
Monday, Mr.. Mitchell said, for
consideration of $4,000 rental,
which is to be paid quarterly. The
first quarter, $17,5O0, will be paid
Monday upon the signing of the
lease, and the balance on Oct. I, Jan.
1, 1925, and April 1, 1925.
The Ford Motor company will
take immediate possession of the
property and the lease will run un-
til June 1, 1925. Whether represen-
tatives of the Ford company are in
the city to take over the property
Immediately upon the signing of the
lease Monday, could not be deter
mined, but they are expected to be
in evidence at that time.
"There is nothing in connection
with the transaction that could form
construct a distributing factory
It had been intimated when MI.
Ford made an offer Of $658,000 for
the property in an outright sale re-
Gently, that he would construct a
terminal for distributing his cars
and products throughout the North
west.
But it is held likely that he will
use the dock for storage purposes
and possibly for the distribution OF
coal from his own mines He has
two boats on the lakes now and two
more are under construction and are
expected to be put into operation
within a short time.
Should he use the dock for coal,
it is believed likely that, besides dis
tributing coal to his plant at st.
Paul and other properties, he will al
so offer coal for sale here in the same
manner as other coal companies. One
cargo of coal, it is understood, will
arrive at the, dock the latter part
of this month. with more to follow.
Cars and parts will also be brought
here from Detroit, to be sent to the
Twin City plant.
When the property is cleared by
foreclosure, it will most likely be Of
fered for sale to the highest bidder
That Mr.. Ford will make an offer
and possibly purchase the property
for future activities at the Head of
the Lakes, is held likely.

this years crop on the basis of pres
ent prices than they did for last
years grain crop, Andrew Boss, di-
rector of the central agricultural ex-
perimental station of the University

innate is based on the assumption
that this years crop will be equal to
that of last year and that prices will
be no. lower than they are today. In

$123 3-s, and December, $1.22 ga.

was based on the prices prevailing

the price of wheat over a year ago

cents; oats, IL cents; barley, Is, and
rye, IL.
Three cent advances in rye were

CURB MARKET STRONG.
Trend Upward Saturday and Also
During Most of Week.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Although
business on the curb exchange today
was in smaller volume than noted in
other recent sessions, the market gave
fairly good account of itself Stead
liy advancing quotations in the last
half OF the week had attracted consid-
erable selling pressure for both short
account and profit-taking. Industrial
shares were in support. with further
gains being recorded in Commonwealth
POWER and a few radio securities.
Qu1etness ruled in the petroleum group,
with prices in most instances holding
around the weeks high levels. There
were some issues offered at moderate
concessions, but the declines were con-
ined to small fractions and were with
out marked significance.
Ihere was marked improvement in
the character of trading during the
week, the class of stocks in which
tnere was active business being wholly
d1ferent from that which had formerly
constituted this market.

OLD KATHARINE PARR

Combe Woodhouse Once Residence

Henry VIII.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, October 25.-The changed
social and economic order. which
since the war has been yearly more
apparent, has brought another his
toric mansion upon the real estate
market.
This is Combe Woodhouse. in Combe
Wood, once the home of Katharine
Parr, a lady who achieved distinc-
tion by becoming the sixth wife of
Henry VIII, and undying fame when
the mutations of fate decreed that
she should be the cemetery widow Of
a monarch among whose conSorts
mortality was heavy, even for the
times of the T>udors.
The interior of Combe Woodhouse
is charming, all the features being
Tudor. There is a leather room, also
Tudor hall, long gallery, paneling
everywhere and some old stained
glass with Katharine PARIS arms on
it.
Thus changes are taking place in
England, the country which used to
be so hostile to any interruption of
the established order. Although it
must not be taken as a forerunner of
prohibition, it is worth noting that
the Old Castle Inn at Smallberry
Green, Isleworth, a favorite haunt of
Dick Turpin, the highwayman, which
has dispensed goOd cneer since 1881,
will shortly become a private resi-
dence.
The notorious highwayman, who
frequented Hounslow Heath, was not
the only caller whose visits are re-
called by the villagers who drop into
the Old Castle Inn of an evening.
Shakespeare and Ben Johnson often
called there on their way to Windsor,
and during the Victorian era its walls
re- echoed to the conversation of such
we'll known authors, artists and the
atrical people as Dickens, Cruik-
shank, Sir Arthur Sullivan. Sir John
Hare, Sims Reeves, Marie Lloyd and,
