BUSINESS SHOWS
FASTER STRIDES
Department Store Sales Are
Heavy As Last Half Year
Gets Start.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


NEW YORK, July 11-Business
has commenced to catch it's stride
again after the Fourth of July holi
day, but has not yet attained full
speed, owing to the check imposed by
mid-year inventories, adjustments and
vacations. New elements in the bus
mess situation, however, make II
probable that the third quarter will
be both active and profitable for
those who take advantage of them.
Prospects have grown decidedly
brighter for the textile men. owing to
their entry into the field of cotton
novelties and rayon fabrics. Silk de-
mand is practically unchecked, al
though some slight falling off in pro-
duction is noticeable. Trend of Fall
styles for both men and women still
are uncertain and the clothing manu-
featuring situation in some centers
has been complicated by minor labor
disputes.
Bargains Boom Sales.
The Cleanup" period in the de
partment stores has scarcely passed.
but bargain offerings are keeping
sales at a fair level. The mail order
houses, however, are prospering
nightly, and their adventures into
the direct selling field are showing
considerable success.
Building in the last month has
shown a gain of nearly 1914 per cent
in 307 cities in the country, according
TO one authority, and the jurisdic-
tional dispute between the plasterers
and bricklayers has been smoothed
out to the extent of return to work
by members of the former union
throughout the United States and
Canada. The gains as compared with
1924 were especially noticeable in
Florida and along the Gulf Coast.
Miami led all the cities reporting with
an advance of $40 per cent.
Bumper Crops Expected.
The announcement that the Grain
Marketing Company, the most ambi-
tious cooperative wheat marketing
project ever attempted. would be dis
integrated had little apparent effect
on agricultural sentiment. More i'm
portant from the farmer buying
angle was the gain of 1914 900
bushels of wheat in the Government
crop estimate, compared with the fig
ures Of June !. Indications of an
enormous corn crop taken in con-
junction with the falling off in hog
population indicated additional profits
to the farmer both from direct mar
keting of corn and in the form of
fattened livestock.

BOND TRADING QUIET.
Many Funds Being Held for Com
ing New Financing.

NEW YORK, July II HD.-Reten-
ton of sitter money rates over the
week end and the usual absence. of
many traders from Wall street dulled
the edge of bond trading today. I'm
able to find high yields in any but
speculative quarters, potential invest
ors displayed tendency to withhold
funds for employment in new offer
ings which promise to continue on a
fairly heavy scale. A large share of
this demand was satisfied by this
weeks new offerings, which exceeded
S100,000.000 and included an attrac-
tive assortment of railroad, industrial
ana foreign obligations.
In sympathy with the firmer tone
of the foreign exchanges, European
government bonds were steadier to-
day and a number of fractional ad-
vances were recorded. Mexican bonds
continued recovery which was
started recently. Execution of buy
ing orders for several high-grade rail
issues, including Union Pacific first
As. Southern Railway general as and
Chesapeake & Ohio convertible 5s
brought about moderate advances in
these issues, but the rail group gen.
orally failed to follow definite trend.
Oil, copper and independent steel liens
showed moderate strength.

Situation in Washington.

This Is evidenced from the fact that
there are but five finance corporations
doing business in Washington. Even
those other than the ones indicated

financing field almost entirely.
In referring to this condition, the re-

COTTON MARKET LOWER.
Reports of Rains in Texas Send
Values Downward

NEW YORK, July Il L4).-The cot
ton market was lower today owing to
reports of more general rains in
Texas. October contracts soA off to
1852 in the late trading or 26 points
net lower, and closed al so, the gen.
eral market closing steady at net de-
clines of 13 to 20 points. The open
ing was steady at a decline of 10 70
II points, active months showing net
losses of 13 to 10 points in the first
few minutes in response to lower Liv.
erpool cables and reports of showers
on the Texas coast.
Rallies of to 10 points followed on
week end covering, promoted by ap-
prehensions that the Texas showers
again would prove inadequate so far
as droughty sections were concerned.
Demand failed to broaden, however
and the market weakened again on
continued reports of rain or showers,
some of which came from South Cen
trail Texas.

HUGE PASSENGER ENGINE
UNDER SPECIAL TESTS

BALTIMORE. July 11.-Preliminary
tests are being made at the Mount
Clare shops of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad on the largest passenger
locomotive in the world. The purpose
is to Timber up the bearings and note
the working of the thousands of parts
before the supreme test is made with
one of the de luxe trains of the Chi
cago. ST. Louis and Detroit service.
Nothing so far has occurred to shake
the confidence that this locomotive
will make a record for itself. The
main idea has been to produce a loco
motive that will maintain higher
speeds on the severe mountain grades
and eliminate the necessity of using
two engines at some of these points

STEEL MARKET QUIET.
Only Moderate Number of New Or
ders During Week.

NEW YORK. July II P).-New
business in the steel market during
the past week was of only moderate
proportions and the decrease of 339.-
342 tons in the untitled orders on the
books of the Steel Corporation at the
close of June was disappointing.
Sales compared with last year were
considered satisfactory, however, and
the evidence of continued consump-
ton along fairly liberal lines gave
values a firm tone. and in some
quarters there was tendency TO
harden. Pig iron was quiet and
barely steady with little concern ex-
pressed over the talk of a coal strike.

Classes Started in
South Side School
New Building Used for First Time
Wednesday; Capable of Ac-
comodatiEg Eight Grades.

With the completion of the re-
modelling of the South Side school a
building capable of accommodating
eight grades has been added to the
facilities of the Hurley public
schools. Classes were started in the
new building Wednesday. Supt.
J. f. Murphy stated yesterday that
eventually arrangements will be
made to make full use of the capacity
of the South Side school and ac-
comodate eight grades, but not until
next year
The old South Side building, which
had outlived it's usefulness on ac-
cunt of lack of Accommodations and
unable to meet the increasing de-
mands for imparting knowledge to
Young America, was remodeled at an
approximate expenditure of $685.
GOO and made into practically new
building.
One of the features in this new
school building is large, bright.
airy gymnasium of the right proper
tons to take care of the physical de-
velopment of the younger children.
The gymnasium, which is located in
the basement, will also be used as a
play room. Showers and toilets
are also located in the basement
The heating plant has been en-
tirely remodeled and put in the best
of condition. Johnson's service
regulating system has been installed.
All rooms have enclosed wardrobes
with folding doors that swing on
pivots so that the wardrobes may be
closed off entirely when desired. The
rooms are well lighted.
Four recitation rooms were added
in the building, thus making eight
in all, four on each floor. Each
floor has several small rooms which
may be used as supply rooms and for
special purposes. There is a janitor's
supply room on each floor and each
floor has drinking fountain.
On the main floor is special room
designed for use as an office. There
is also one for a library.
The building now has two en-
frances, the one on the west side
having been retained and another
added on the east side.
During the time that the South
Side school was being remodeled
classes were held in the American
Legion building and in st. Mary's
school

Shot Four Times
In Saxon Saloon
Frank Ansami Target for Bullets
from Revolver in Hands of Jim
Stella During Quarrel.

While attempting to protect his
friend from physical harm during a
quarrel in a saloon at Saxon Wed
nesday evening Frank Ansami far
mer and logger, was the target for
seven shots fired at him by Jim
Stella. Hurley saloon keeper who
also has a saloon at Saxon and in
whose place the shooting occurred
Four of the shots took effect, three
going wild. The victim of the affair
was given medical attention as soon
as physician arrived from Iron
wood. Thursday afternoon he was
removed to an lronwood hospital
and unless complications set in hopes
are held out for his recovery.
Sheriff Robt. Erspamer was
notified of the shooting by telephone,
receiving the call at $40 o'clock.
He Immediately started for Saxon
by automobile but found the roads
blocked by snow at sKimball and
could not get through with his car.
He made the trip from there to
Saxon on a handcar. Stella was
placed under arrest and brought to
the county Jail.
While checking up the cash
register Wednesday evening Stella
charged that there was a shortage
and accused Mcdonald of being re-
sponsible. A wordy argument was
followed by blows being exchanged
during which Stella is alleged to have
hit his, bartender on the head with
the butt of Colts automatic
revolver. At this point Ansami
stepped between the men and at
tempted to protect Mcdonald Stella
thereupon pointed the revolver at
Ansami and fired seven times.
Three of the shots went wild, three
of them inflicted flesh wounds on
Ansami's arms and shoulders and one
entered his chest near the right
shoulder and is believed to have
pierced lung. The latter wound
is declared to be the most serious.
The injured man was taken to
Alphonse LaBlanc's hotel and at
tended by DIR. Stebbins, who was
summoned from Ironwood He was
kept at the hotel all that night and
the following day was removed to an
IronwoOd hospital.
Others in the saloon besides the
proprietor, his bartender and the
victim Of the shooting were j. J..
Defer and John Flandrena. When
Sheriff Erspamer arrived at Saxon
about IL o'clock he was met by
Frank Sailor, who handed him a
32-caliber Colts automatic revolver
together with seven empty shells
There still remained in the revolver
cartridge in the barrel and one in
the magazine Sailor told the
sheriff that Jim Stella had shot
Frank Ansami four times and that
three more shots which went wild
had been fired.
Stella has conducted the Turf
Exchange, one of Hurleys famous
drink emporiums, for several years.
Last summer he opened saloon al

sidered of quiet, retiring disposi-
ton and never known to pick
quarrel.

Men who are not totally and per-
manently disabled but who are
suffering a disability as result of
an injury or disease incurred in SER
vice may reinstate their insurance by
paying all premiums which would
have been payable if the insurance
had not lapsed with interest at 5
per cent compounded annually.
Mr. Burns declared that The
American Legion is making a CON
certed effort to have former service
men reinstate government insurance
for their own protection. Many
men who were unable to get in
surance from old line compares will
be benefited by the move, he stated.
Reports that unofficial organiza-
lions and agents not recognized by
the Director of the United States
Veterans Bureau have been promis-
ing to force claims for disability
through the bureau for monetary
consideration have called forth a
sharp warning from James f. Burns,
state service officer of The Ameri-
can Legion, here today.
Calling attention to the recent
legislation governing the operations
of the Bureau, Mr.. Burns declared
that no claim agent or attorney,
except the recognized representatives
Of the American Legion, Red Cross
and such other organizations as are
approved by the director of the
buseau, shall be recognized in the
presentation and consideration Of
claims for disability compensation
under the Veterans Act.
1t has been pointed out to Legion
officials that numerous unofficial
organizations have sprung up
throughout the country announcing
their intent and function as that of
assisting disabled veterans to get
their claims through the bureau"
for "small fee" The Legion, Red
Cross and other recognized agencies,
which assist the disabled men in fill
ing their compensation claims, do so
without charge, assuming for the
time being the capacity of attorney
in fact for the claimant VS.. the

transportation of
Lake Superior Ores
TN. How Iron Ore Is Handled in
Shipment from Mines to Lower
Lake Ports.

The following interesting article
h. John Sampson, superintendent of
10 Chicago & Northwestern ore
books at Ashland, describing the
transportation of Lake Superior iron
Sores from the mines TO the furnaces,
from the current issue of the
North Western Railway System
Magazine;
IRON Ore was first discovered in
The Lake Superior District in the
Near 1874, in the Upper Peninsula,
hear Marquette, and four years later
IT, first Iron Ore was smelted in a
force near that place.
The transportation of Lake Su-
perior Iron Ores from mines to the
furnaces is accomplished by rail
Ind water. The first lake shipment
hi iron ore, consisting of five bar
fels. was made in the year 1852 from
Marquette, this ore having been
hauled to Lake Superior by sleigh
during the preceding winter.
During the winter of 1852 and
lS53, 1872 tons of iron ore were
Brought from the mines to Lake
Superior by sleigh, and the follow
ing summer shipped by lake to Erie,
Pa. This shipment of 1872 tons re-
blurred four vessels to transport it
10 the 500, where it was portrayed
eyer the Falls There were about
LOCO tons of ore on dock at Mar
cuette when navigation opened in
1854, and this amount was wheeled
aboard steamers in barrows and
Bumped on their decks. At the 500
II had to be unloaded and carried
eyer the Portage, where it was
again put upon vessels and taken to
lpwer lake ports
The development of commerce on
Lake Superior was retarded by the
80 Mary's rapids until the opening
% st. Mary's Canal in the summer
NJ 1850 Prior to the opening,
.tfeight upbound was unloaded be-
bow the rapids and hauled about
tNo miles with teams, then loaded
hto small vessels that had been
hauled over the Portage, none of
Rhlch had a carrying capacity of
over 10 tons. When the Canal was
Opened to commerce the mercantile
navy Of Lake Superior consisted of
pine small sailing vessels and one
Seam propeller, with total carry
hg capacity Of about 700 tons.
8 The first cargo of iron ore that
pas shipped from Lake Superior
Forts direct, without breaking bulk,
q lower lakes, consisted of 1872
bns, on board the brigantine Co
hmbia, which passed through the
CANA, August II, 1855. The no
Eole cargo was shipped from Mar
auette, consigned to the Cleveland
bon Go. The little dock at Mar
