MONSTER BOAT
FOR GREAT LAKES
PRESENT-DAT 600-FOOTERS WILL
BE ECLIPSED.
American Shipbuilding Company Will
Close a Contract for a Steamer 645
Feet Long and Capable of Carrying
17,000 Tons of Iron OreHow She
Will Compare with Ocean-Going
Vessels.
Special to The Journal.
Two Harbors, Minn., May 28.It has been
announced that the American Shipbuilding com
pany will close a contract to build a steamer
for the Great Lakes which will be 645 feet
long over all. She will carry 14,000 tons on a
draft of nineteen feet, and will probably carry
16,000 or 17,000 tons of iron ore.
This explodes the idea that the 600-footers of
the Pittsburg Steamship company's fleet and
the Cambria Steamship company would be the
largest of this year, and that the 605-footers
of the Weston Steamship company proposed for
next year would be the largest on the lakes.
The new steamer will be twenty-five feet longer
than the ocean steamers Campania and Lucanla
of the Cunard line, and will be nearly 100 feet
longer than the steamers St. Paul and St. Louis
ot the American line. She will also be larger
than any steamer of th% French ocean line, and
will he of greater* tonnage than the famous
ocean steamer Deutschland, tho not as long.
The ocean monsters, America, Oceanic, Celtic
and Cedric, will be but sixty feet longer, and
will have only 4,000 tons' capacity more than
the promised new lake freighter. It Is likely
that the new steamer will be cons'tructed at
the Lorain, Ohio, yards, as two new slips for
the accommodation of 700-foot boats are "being
put in there this year.
Croat Shipping Week.
The lumber shipments from this port the past
week were heavier than any previous week this
season, and probably as heavy as any one week
since the shipment of lumber commenced from
Two Harbors. The total aggregate shipments
for the week amounted to nearly 5,000,000 feet.
The commodity was carried to eastern ports In
eight vessels as follows: The steamer Kal
kaska and schooners Ida Keath, Wayne, White,
Fryant, Halstad, Genoa and Our Son. The
steamers Matoa, Cambria and Corona arrived
last week each laden with cargoes which were
discharged at this port. The shipments of iron
amounted to something over 250,000 gross tons.
Pine Lumber Deal.
A. S. Kibbee & Sons of Albany, N. Y., have
closed a deal with the Tower Lumber company
of Tower for 2,000,000 feet of pine lumber^ the
quality to be No. 3 and better.
The lumber will be shipped this season from
Tower to Two Harbors by rail over the Duluth
& Iron Range road, and from here by boat
to Its destination in the east.

PUT ON CROOKSTON
DRINKING RESORTS OF CITY
CLOSED FOR THE NONCE.
Certain Business Interests Are Satd to
Object to the Reform, and It May
Not Be Made PermanentFreedom
from the Sunday Saloon Felt for the
First Time.
Special to The Journal.
Crookston, Minn., May 28.Mayor Chestermau
placed a lid on this city yesterday, and for
the first time the metropolis of the Red river
valley enjoyed freedom from the Sunday saloon.
The practice has been for the saloons to have
their front doors closed, but little attention has
been paid to side doors by the police. The
order went out yesterday, however, that all
doors were to be closed, blinds pulled back and
In the evening a light was to be left burning in
each saloon, so that the police could be sure
that "booze'' was not being dispensed in the
dark.
As a general rule the sajoonmen obeyed the
order of "the mayor, but a few tried to evade
it. They were warned by the police that if they
were caught again

whether Mayor Chesterman intends to enforce
the Sunday closing laws to the letter from now
on. It is rumored, however, that he simply
tried the reform as an experiment, but there
is no doubt that strong pressure will be brought
to bear upon him by the reform element to
make the move permanent.
It is said, on the other hand, that the busi
ness interests will not take kindly to the reform.
Crookston Is a Sunday mecca for many travel
ing men who stop here on account of its cen
tral location to the vast trade territory which
they cover, and many have their country cus
tomers visit them on Sunday. Crookston has
appealed to them because they were allowed the
same privileges that they were accustomed to

amount of change handed over. Owing to the
Saturday evening rush the bills Were not exam
ined and it was not until the proprietors of the
places were making up their cash for the day
that it was discovered that they have been clev
erly victimized. Upon examination the bills
turned out to be issues of the State Bank of
Georgia, and bore the date of several years
before the war. The matter was reported to the
police and a thoro search of the city was made,
but no suspect could be found.

THOUGHT THOMAS A BURGLAR
MASON CITY, IOWA.The footfalls of a
tomcat on the tin covering of the porch at the
home of Postmaster Nate Kotchell last night
causeda hurry call for the police and! the sum
moning of the neighborhood to guard the home
till the officers arrived.
The sound coming from the roof was taken
for a burglar who, It was believed, was mak
ing an effort to get into an upper window. Mr.
Kotchell and his wife had Just returned from,
an evening party. They hastily Informed a
neighbor, who telephoned the police and sum
moned other neighbors who guarded every av
enue of escape. An examination cautiously
made revealed the cat which stared in Inno
cent surprise at the blue-coated minions of the
law. Fright was turned to merriment.

GUARDS MAY NOT GO
South Dakotans May Not Participate in
Maneuvers at Fort Riley.
WATBRTOWN, S. D.Adjutant General O. H.
Bnglesby of this city left today for Washington,
D. C. on business in connection with the South
Dakota National Guard, and its participation In
the general arm maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kan.,
this fall. Saturday he received word that the
war department had ruled that the South
Dakota troops could not go into the regular army
camp because they are insufficiently equipped.
Some time ago he received word that the guard
would be sent to Fort Riley, and receiving such
information he abandoned all planB for the
annual encampment in this city, beginning on
July 6.
General Englesby says that the state troops
are perfectly equipped with the exception of
shelter tents which can be easily purchased.
He says further tlis.t tlae stAte has equipment for
three regiments, while It has only one In com
mission. In the face of these facts he does
not Bee why the department has denied the state
the right to participate in the maneuvers.
While at Washington he further expects to
show the department that the state is entitled
to receive its rihare of the national appropria
tion for the maintenance of the militia in cash.
Last year the cash was sent, but this year
the department sent word that the apportionment
would not be given in cash, but that equipment
would be sent. As the state now has more
equipment than it needs this mistake will be
strafghtened out In Washington if possible.
Nothing definite about the annual encamp
ment will be known until the adjutant general's
return.

which was still In doubt today, to Cummins, the
net result is that Perkins secures 174 delegates
and Cummins CO. Five years'ago these counties
gave Cummins 57 and bis opponents 166. The
result In these counties has cheered the Perkins
supporters immensely, but the/Oummins men
profess to he In no wise discouraged. They
assert that tney expected about -what happened.
and produce figures to show that Cummins can
not possibly be defeated.
Up to date sixty-nine counties have acted.
They have given Cummins 592 delegates, Per-
kinB 441, Rathbuh' (whose support will almost
entirely go to Perkins) 90, and 49 are contested.
In 1901 these same sixty-nine counties gave
Cummins 588% votes and his opponents 587%.
Thus, giving Perkins the Rathbun and contested
votes, he has to date 580 to 592 for Cummins,
showing CumminS to be in better shape thus far
than he was five years ago. But if Cummins
can control' the coriventiori without the contested
delegates, at least "twenty-six of these will be
giveli him, making his vote 618 to 554 for
Perkins.
The Cummins Claims.
The Cummins followers say Cummins is abso
lutely certain to get the following: Franklin,
Hardin, Wright, Dallas, Marion, Story Shelby,
Scott, Howard, Chickasaw, Winneshiek, Worth,
Poweshiek, Carroll and O'Brien, having 239 dele
gates. These, with what Cummins now has,
would nominate him. Chickasaw Is said to be
in doubt./But Cummins has an even chance at
least in Buchanan, Blackhawk, Audubon, Adair,
Montgomery, Muscatine, Allamakee and Jasper
with 137 delegates.
After June 2 the supposedly Cummins comi
ties will begin to act, and then It will soon be
possible to announce the outcome. The result
to date in sixty-nine counties is as follows:

IOWA RETAILERS
GAINING' GROUND
STATE-WIDE MOVEMENT AGAINST
CATALOG HOUSES.
Manufacturers Are Forced to Take
Sides, and Many of Them Are Glad
to Get the Business of the Retailers
and Leave the Catalog Concerns to
Whistle for Goods.

Special to The Journal.
Fort Dodge, Iowa, May 28.The recent meet
ings of the state retailers' associations baa
revealed the fact that a battle royal Is In full
progress between the retail dealers of Iowa
and the catalog houses In Chicago. Theftre
tailers are battling for trade from their various
communities, and the catalog bouses are fight
lng against the inroads of this organised move
ment to cut off their source of supply. Mann
facturers who a year ago were defiant and re- I
fused to give heed to the demands of the re
toilers that they cease to sell to catalog houses.
wtitcli "were ^eiMllng goo^s Into "their territory,
bare changed their methods and are now quite
willing to Becure all of the retailers' trade
that they can upon promise not to sell catalog
houses.
For years'Iowa has been rich picking for the
catalog houses. Investigation shows that neither
the weather, crops nor scarcity of ready money
has bad any efTect upon the volume of business
which has been sent outside the state. Various i
schemes and plans have been formulated for cut
ting off this steadily Increasing outgo of mofiey.
but not until the retailers' associations Jiegaa
taking the matter up in their state meetings
has any noticeable progress been fhade.
Benefits of Organization.
At the recent state grocers' convention an
amendment to the constitution was made which'
permitted any retailer in the state in any Hue
to become a member of the organization. At
the state meeting of undertakers and furniture
men at Burlington last week OTCI- forty new
members were added. Manufacturers who until
recently had given the retail furniture dealers
a cold shoulder were on hand to extend a glad
hand and solicit a share of their business.
Not only the furniture and grocery lines, but
the hardware lines as well, are bearing down
on the manufacturers who supply the catalog
houses. In some cases where the catalog house*
have been unable to buy direct from the manu
facturers, they have bought thru small country
dealers. The large amounts ordered by the"
small dealers aroused the suspicions of the man
ufacturers, who investigated and found that a
catalog house which they" had refused was at'
the bottom of the order.
A Black List.
One plan which.has met with general ap
proval at the meetings is the issuing of lists
of manufacturers who furnish catalog houses,
so that the retailers may govern their orders
accordingly and support the manufacturer who
is protecting them and their Interests.
The number of state associations is steadily
increasing, and before the year is out no doubt'
every state in the union will be organised for
mutual protection. The list of retail furniture
dealers' associations now includes Indiana. Iowa,
Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska,
North Carolina, Wisconsin, Virginia, Ohio, Mich
igan, Mississippi, besides the association of
Philadelphia which covers Pennsylvania, and tht
national association of which the state associa*'
tions are auxiliaries.
