SHORTS ABOUT
TOURISTS

Good fishing is not the only Mime
sofa tourist lure, nor even the biggest.
AS matter of fact, only a minor frac-
ton of the tourists come to fish, ac-
cording to the records of the game
and fish division. These show that in
1889 fishing licenses were issued to
only 53,964 non-residents out of a total
of 611,086 sold-or about per cent.
Thus, of the estimated 1,850,OOO non
resident tourists less than per cent
procured a permit to fish.

Many Planning To
Spend 1871 Summer
Vacation in State

There are two things the members of
the state tourist bureau staff say they
have become thoroughly convinced of:
l. The number of people interested
in Minnesota as a vacationland is
growing increasingly fast.
2. Many of them already are plan
ming their 1871 summer vacations with
the idea of coming to Minnesota.
The bureaus mail, more volumnous
than ever for this time of the year,
bears out both of these conclusions.
Here are quotations from two of many
letters being received by the bureau
these days:
Sometime ago, 1 believe it was in
August, 1910, came across an item
in naming Chicago daily about an
interesting place to spend a vacation"
The writer, a Chicago man, explains
that it was about Minnesota, but as
he has mislaid the clipping, he would
appreciate getting some more informa-
ton from the bureau as the newspaper
item appealed strongly to him.
The ohter is from a letter from q
Kansas dentist IT am looking forward
to another fishing trip in northern
Minnesota and would like to receive
your data on various lakes he
writes
These two excerpts are typical of
the thousands that will be pouring
into this office in the next five months"
said Victor A. Johnston, director Of
the bureau. I'm the mail that brought
them came others from Iowa, Pennsyl-
vania, Georgia, and New Jersey. Last
year the bureau replied to more than
$4,000 inquiries, an increase of so per
cent over 1885,"

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-With
the arrival in Washington today
of Saburo Kurusu, special Nippon
envoy, the stage Is set for a mo-
mentous diplomatic drama which
American officials believe will soon
determine whether there Is to be
war between the United States
and Japan.
If this final effort to reach some
sort of an understanding between
the two countries proves futile,
official Washington fears the
danger of major conflict in the
Pacific will be greatly increased.
Indicating the Importance which
Toxic attaches to Ambassador
Kurusu's visit. the japanese en-
bassy Is understood to be seeking
an appointment for him with
President Roosevelt on Monday.
He already is scheduled to see
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
at 1870 Monday morning.
The war of nerves on both sides
is expected to reach a high pitch
during the early stages Of the
discussions.
Neutral diplomats In Washing
ton believe President Roosevelt's
actions in ordering United States
Marines withdrawn from China
and imposing drastic restrictions
on the entry and departure Of per-
sons into and from the United
States was part of the campaign
to warn Toxic this country Is
ready.

BEGAN TO GET DARK
It was beginning to get dark
then. Tugs and motor launches
came out from Gibraltar to make
certain that the Ark was under
way. She wasn't.
We went on into Gibraltar, ar
irving at midnight.
The fight to save the Ark went
on all night. They kept the flood
waters down for hours, but early
in the morning the water gained
on the pumps.
Finally she was abandoned at
dawn. Two hours later she rolled
over on her side. She stayed in
that position for quite a time.
Then suddenly her stern lifted

and the ship plunged into the
depths.
