NEXT TO ABERHART'S DRUG STORE West Side Main Street A LEITER FROM DULUTH Dear Expositor: We are experiencing,'an exception- ally hot aunither this way, already lasting eeiteral weeks and probably will continue with intervening cooler spells until September. It is the longest continued hot spell I have noted -here -in my thirty-four years ineidencd:e Sunday,. July 10th, Was uncomfortalbly warm, the government thermometer officially recording .'94 in "'the shade, though many others showed' even as high as 98 and •100. Thousands, in order to get relief from the sweltering heat, went over by gtreet car, auto and on foot to Park Point, sometimes named Minnesota Point, and 'part of Duluth, to try and cool off by or in the waters of old Lake Superior. This so-called point is a narrow strip of sandy land cov- ered in place with scrubby trees, nearly seven miles long and stretch- ing from ttie Duluth ship canal to Wisconsin Point,' where nature's can- al or natural entrance allows the waters of. St. Louis Bay to mingle with those of Lake Superior, Inside this narrow stretch of land is to be found one of the greatest natural harbors in the world. Reverting to •our former subject, on this particular Sunday there were at least two cases of drowning and several deaths re- ported as caused by the intense heat and quite a number of prostrations. So dense were the throngs seeking relief that it was nearly three am: Monday before the last of the autos' were able to get back across the Aerial bridge, preference being given to the thousands on foot and those being transferred by the street cars. The Aerial bridge was taxed to its utmost capacity. It can make a round trip in about ten minutes but at one time that day owing to the intense heat and the lubricating oil fairly sizzling a'nd drying up, for the bridges' safety it was deemed advis- able to go slow and make a 20 min- ute round trip, so I was informed. I understand that when this bridge was built there was only one other like it in the world and that was over the Seine River, near Paris, France. Some day this bridge will either completely break down or be done away with and a tunnel will probably be built under the Duluth 'ship canal to connect with the Point and large enough to accommodate railroad trains, street cars, autos and other vehicles` and foot passengers. This subjet' is often spoken of • and some day will be a reality. Park Point has a population of several thousand it is claimed. Opportune and drenching rains came some time ago and put out raging f, rest fires fiercely burning over thousands of acres of territory, not very far from this city._ Owing to the terrible forest fire occurring on October 12, 1918, in this neigh- borhood, when several hundred lives were blotted out, with millions upon millions of dollars of property and animal loss, the woods now in many places contain much dead and fallen timber. With a long protracted dry spell and hot weather a forest con- flagration even more disastrous might occur. May kind Providence avert such a terrible calamity. The wild strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, crops were good this season, especially the second men- tioned. The two latter are yet in full swing and pickers are every- where. During this hard season it is a blessing these berries are so plentiful, and to those picking them it will lessen the burdensome costs of household expenses. Hundreds, if not a thousand or more, are out of work in this city at the present time. Still if one travels around they willnote many family !residences going up, others being re- paired, but scarcely any large build- ings being erected. Considerable 'street and avenue work is in progress, 'also considerable country road work is being done in St. Louis County, and large contracts have lately been let for the construction of roads, bridges and culverts in this county. Duluth is in St. Louis County. But on the docks and in warehouses things are very .quiet and more boats are being laid up( Towards the close of navigation there will be a temporary rush to close up business. The steel company located here recently closed its plant indefinitely, throwing out of work 1700 men. However, they claimed they would put to work 1500 of these on their nail and wire fac- tories now under construction. Just before closing this steel plant was only running at about a 25 per cent. capacity, 'it was stated. One large company I know only too well cut the pay of all its office and warehouse force ten per cent., becoming effec- tive June 26th, besides laying many off from time to time. Some are out with the gloomy forecast men will be working in the woods this winter for $15 per month and board. One thing I do know this city will have to feed and take care of many fam- ilies this coming winter. Last winter was the mildest winter I have seen here, and that means in thirty-four years, and the hot spell the same, and weather, like other things, has its extreme swings. The coming winter is apt to be severe, long g and cold,incurringmuch suffering. Sc - entits claim immense numbers ' of meteors are being -drawn into the sun burnt up.fand,causing more het, Be that as it may, it is surely hot enough. Recently I received three photos from a dear old schoolmate girl friend of mine of the day of "Auld Lang Syne." One- sheaved herself, hue - band, son, brother and sister -in -lair, also home reiid'ence and auto. - As • Notice.

But on the docks and in warehouses things are very .quiet and more boats are being laid up( Towards the close of navigation there will be a temporary rush to close up business. The steel company located here recently closed its plant indefinitely, throwing out of work 1700 men. However, they claimed they would put to work 1500 of these on their nail and wire fac- tories now under construction. Just before closing this steel plant was only running at about a 25 per cent. capacity, 'it was stated. One large company I know only too well cut the pay of all its office and warehouse force ten per cent., becoming effec- tive June 26th, besides laying many off from time to time. Some are out with the gloomy forecast men will be working in the woods this winter for $15 per month and board. One thing I do know this city will have to feed and take care of many fam- ilies this coming winter. Last winter was the mildest winter I have seen here, and that means in thirty-four years, and the hot spell the same, and weather, like other things, has its extreme swings.

It is the longest continued hot spell I have noted -here -in my thirty-four years ineidencd:e Sunday,. July 10th, Was uncomfortalbly warm, the government thermometer officially recording .'94 in "'the shade, though many others showed' even as high as 98 and •100. Thousands, in order to get relief from the sweltering heat, went over by gtreet car, auto and on foot to Park Point, sometimes named Minnesota Point, and 'part of Duluth, to try and cool off by or in the waters of old Lake Superior. This so-called point is a narrow strip of sandy land cov- ered in place with scrubby trees, nearly seven miles long and stretch- ing from ttie Duluth ship canal to Wisconsin Point,' where nature's can- al or natural entrance allows the waters of. St. Louis Bay to mingle with those of Lake Superior, Inside this narrow stretch of land is to be found one of the greatest natural harbors in the world. Reverting to •our former subject, on this particular Sunday there were at least two cases of drowning and several deaths re- ported as caused by the intense heat and quite a number of prostrations. So dense were the throngs seeking relief that it was nearly three am: Monday before the last of the autos' were able to get back across the Aerial bridge, preference being given to the thousands on foot and those being transferred by the street cars. The Aerial bridge was taxed to its utmost capacity. It can make a round trip in about ten minutes but at one time that day owing to the intense heat and the lubricating oil fairly sizzling a'nd drying up, for the bridges' safety it was deemed advis- able to go slow and make a 20 min- ute round trip, so I was informed. I understand that when this bridge was built there was only one other like it in the world and that was over the Seine River, near Paris, France. Some day this bridge will either completely break down or be done away with and a tunnel will probably be built under the Duluth 'ship canal to connect with the Point and large enough to accommodate railroad trains, street cars, autos and other vehicles` and foot passengers. This subjet' is often spoken of • and some day will be a reality. Park Point has a population of several thousand it is claimed. Opportune and drenching rains came some time ago and put out raging f, rest fires fiercely burning over thousands of acres of territory, not very far from this city._ Owing to the terrible forest fire occurring on October 12, 1918, in this neigh- borhood, when several hundred lives were blotted out, with millions upon millions of dollars of property and animal loss, the woods now in many places contain much dead and fallen timber. With a long protracted dry spell and hot weather a forest con- flagration even more disastrous might occur. May kind Providence avert such a terrible calamity. The wild strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, crops were good this season, especially the second men- tioned. The two latter are yet in full swing and pickers are every- where. During this hard season it is a blessing these berries are so plentiful, and to those picking them it will lessen the burdensome costs of household expenses. Hundreds, if not a thousand or more, are out of work in this city at the present time. Still if one travels around they willnote many family !residences going up, others being re- paired, but scarcely any large build- ings being erected. Considerable 'street and avenue work is in progress, 'also considerable country road work is being done in St. Louis County, and large contracts have lately been let for the construction of roads, bridges and culverts in this county. Duluth is in St. Louis County. But on the docks and in warehouses things are very .quiet and more boats are being laid up( Towards the close of navigation there will be a temporary rush to close up business.
