Cities Save Homes.
DANGER SEEMS TO
BE PAST TODAY
Boat Sent to Rescue Settlers
Along Bank Above Grand
Marais.
(By Associated Press.)
DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 9. Im
proved conditions follow a night of
terror on the ranges. More than a
thousand residents of-HIbbing after
a night of hard efforts successfully
fought back the flames, and reports
are this morning that the town is
safe.
In Aurora, Nashwauk, Buhl,
Wrenschall and in several smaller
towns, all night struggles were main
tained against the fires and this
morning the wind is dying down and
the fires appear to be gradually
burning themselves out. Great vigi
lance is still being maintained.
The most dramatic incidents of
the entire fire promise to develop
around Grand Marais. The steamer
Gopher has gone to the rescue of the
settlers along the north shore, who
are entirely shut off from commu
nication, even by telephone or tele
graph. The last boat from there
reported the flames were rushing In
with great speed and were gradually
hemming in inhabitants of the lit
tle village who number about COO.
Other than those at Grand Marais,
there are along the north shore of
the lake many settlers who are
threatened with a loss of life though
in the extremity they might take re
fuge on the beach.
LOCAL PEOPLE INTERESTED.
Coos Bay Residents Cnine From
Scene of Minnesota Forest Fire.
A large number of people on Coos
Bay, particularly those identified
with the C. A. Smith Lumber and
Manufacturing Company are greatly
interested in the reports of the forest
firevnear Duluth, Minn. Many for
merly lived in the section that is re
ported being swept. G. A. Brown of
the Smith-Powers Logging Company,
this morning received a telegram
from his father who resides near
Wrenschall saying their property is
safe. Mr. Brown says that he can
not understand the fire as the terri
tory around Wrenschall Is not dense
ly wooded. He says that the sec
tion burns over every year or so and
that in consequence there is not
much fuel there to feed as conflagra
tion of the proportions that the press
reports indicate.
Mr. LaChance, who has leased the
new Chandler hotel and who will
come here this winter to assume the
management of it, is a resident of
Hibbing.
Jake Goldle is also a former resi
dent of Hibbing."

DREDCE COMES
SEPTEMBER 16
Major Mclndoe Says That
It
Will Be Ready to Leave
Portland Then,
Major Mclndoe, chief of the Ore
gon and Washington Coast Corps of
United States Engineers, wired here
today that the dredge for Coos Bay
would be ready to leave Portland
September 16, and that the notice
had been received ordering it sent
here. However, he wanted to know
more definitely concerning the towing
of the dredge here, expressing some
doubt in the telegram as to the ad
visability of the Breakwater taking
it. He suggested that Simpson's tug
or one like it be secured for the job.
The matter has been referred by
General Manager C. J. Mlllls to Capt.
Magenn. Mr. Magenn says that the
Breakwater can haul the dredge
without any difficulty. Secretary
Walter Lyon, who is In Salem or
Portland, has been wired to arrange
concerning the towing of the dredge
down.
Dr. J. T. McCormac, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, this after
noon wired Major Mclndoe to ar
range for a Columbia river tug boat
to haul the dredge to Coos Bay In
case the Breakwater couldn't handle
it. It was out of the question to
send the Simpson tug after it owing
to its inability to carry sufficient fuel
foj the trip.

American Federation of Labor
Presents Side In Injunction
Fight.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 9.
When the Buck labor case was call
ed, Judge Gould of the United States
Supreme Court, today decided to ap
point an examiner to take testimony
and William Herbert Smith was
designated to perform that service.
Thirty days will be given each side
for the purpose of exchanging testi
mony. There Is widespread Interest In the
Buck Stove and Range case in
which the company is seeking to have
the American Federation of Labor,
President Gompers, John Mitchell
and other labor leaders punished for
contempt of court. Interest Is added
by the reason of the fact that the
chief of the counsel for the Federa
tion Is Judge Alton B. Parker, the
former, Democratic candidate for
president. Besides Judge Parker,
there Is present a notable array
of counsel.
The injunction which the labor
leaders are accused of violating is
one which was Issued last year pro
hibiting the Federationist (the Fed
eration's official publication), from
advising organized labor that tho
Buck Company Is "Unfair" to its em
ployes or from otherwise advising
organized labor of this alleged fact.
The answer of Messrs. Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison to tho con
tempt proceedings was filed this
morning.
