ASSIGNMENT.

I. c. st. Amour's many friends and
customers were panied on Monday to
hear that he had made voluntary
assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. He has been in the mercan-
tile business in the twin cities for the
last 30 years and was man highly
thought of. He has even turned over
his beautiful home on High Street and
his life insurance policy for those to
whom he was in debt. This is more
than the average business man would
do. However, we honor him for it and
the action proves the calibre of the
man. His assets are placed at about
$4,000 and his liabilities will reach
$4,000. Mr.. St. Amour has the
sympathy and good will of all the
people in the twin cities. Mr.. n.
johnson was made assignee.

Review of Reviews.

The leading feature Of the Review of
Reviews for November is its presenta-
ton of the possibilities of the Great
Northwest" in an article by Mr.. S. A.
Thompson, and in a supplementary
article by DR.. Emory r. Johnson, up
on Finland Waterways for the North
west" Mr.. Thompson, as secretary of
the Duluth Chamber of Commerce, has
for several years been activity engaged
in searching out and applying effective
means for bringing the great states
northwest of the Upper Mississippi,
and the great Canadian provinces be-
longing geographically to the same
region, into closer communication with
the rest Of the North American CONT
nent. He is therefore able to write
with an enthusiasm born Of intimate
knowledge of the subjectand supported
by very important and surprising
statistics. DR.. Johnson is lecturer on
Transportation in the Wharton School
of Finance and Economics, University
of Pennsylvania, and has recently pub
lished a monograph upon finland
Waterways" DR.. Johnson particularly
emphasizes the appearances of canal
and river transportation as a means of
lowering railway rates, and he finds
very large social as well as economic in
tiuence resulting from this extension of
facilities for shipping and for personal
travel. These two articles suggest
future of almost unimaginable growth
for the great Northwest Each article
is ittinglv illustrated.

CATER LAST FALL"
By FRANK L. THORPE.


AIR: AFTER THE BALL.
\ little boy climb'd on an old mans knee,
Begged for the reason, "do papa please"
why are you gloomy, idle, alone,
Have you no work but loafing at homer"
l had good job last fall you know,
Why have none now, child, you shall know.
List to the story: Grover, last fall,
help'd elect him-idle that's all
CHORUS.
After the votes were taken after the change had
come,
After the factories closing, after the wheels
were dumb,
Many heart was aching, If you could read
them ALL
Many heart was darkened after last fall.
Happy our homes were from morn till night,
Then came the tempter, spoke soft and low,
Fooled us poor workers how don't know
When we awakened to what we had done,
Factories we're idle, mills could not run.
Down they all closed, pet, ended-thats all,
Just ms our works were after last fall.
Long months have passed child no work to do,
Although l have sought it for mother and you.
No work TO give. tried to explain,
They could not help it, pIeadings are vain.

/ helped to close up the factories that run.
That's why I'm idle, no work at all,
lost my job, pet, after last fall.

Patronize Home Institutions.

The REPORTER has often reminded and
urged its readers to patronize home in
institutions because We believe it's right
and proper and the only way 10 build
ourselves up. The Inland Ocean, pub
lished at West Superior, in its last issue
had this to say in the same line:
"Peddlers are compelled to pay
license for the privilege of doing bust
ness in this city. Why? Because in no
other way do they help to sustain the
municipality from which, for the time
being, they draw their support. More
than that in plying their trade they are
drawing to a greater or less extent from
the trade which rightfully belongs to
the legitimate business houses of the
city. We mean by Legitimate" houses
the ones which give support to the COM
munity IN all seasons of the year by
paying taxes, rents and establishing
homes. The people of this city do
great injury to themselves when they,
III the slightest way withdraw their
patronage from home institutions and
give 1t to foreign concerns which, when
the season for lively trade begins, squat
down in our own midst to secure all the
available cash in sight. Then after
they have done their utmost to spoil
the trade Of our home merchants they
pull up stakes and leave the town.
Nor is there any advantage to our
people in trading with such concerns.
Home competition makes goods as low
as they can possibly be sold. There is
no saving in buying elsewhere what
one can buy at home at the same price
and often cheaper. There is much that
can be said upon this subject, but we
believe that our citizens can figure out
for themselves the advantages of trad
ing with merchants with whom they
are acquainted and keeping their
money in circulation in this city. We
can, however, avoid trading with out
side merchants and the loyalty of our
citizens to home concerns ought to be
such that transient mercantile estab-
lishments will not find it to their adj
vantage to stop with us.
Read the advertisements of your
home merchants and trade with them.
Their words stand for something in this
community. Remember that when you
want favorS you do not so out of town
to get them. Stand by home institu-
tons first, last and all the time and be
gamers thereby in the long run.

DEFlEs THE SUPREME COURT. =
Gleason WIN Resist by Force Attempts to
Take the Mayors once.


LONG ISLAND CITY, Jan. 90 Patrick
Gleason delies the Supreme Court, and
Justice Bartlett's decision, he says is not
worth the ppper that it is written on.
He will, under the advice of United
States District Attorney Jesse johnson,
of Brooklyn, resist by force if necessary,
any attempt to obtain possession Of the
Office by Sanford or Cluyen.
Yesterday morning Justice Bartlett
in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, handed
down a decision In which he denied the
application of HoraUio S. Sanford for a
writ of mandamus to compel Patrick J.
Gleason to turn over to Sanford the books
and papers and the Office Of Mayor Of
Long Island City
In his decision Justice Bartlett says that
Mr. Gleason is not the Mayor Of Long
Island CITY by reason Of holding over
after the expiration Of his term, nor can
he be regarded us Mayor by reason of the
certificate issued to him by City Clerk
Burke, upon election returns which were
mHnifestly incorrect as proven in the case
of the people ex rel Sanford against
Burke.
''Ou the other hand, " the Justice says,
Il am not satisfied that Mr. Sanford has
become legally qualified to act as Mayor.
The charter of this municipality is
very explicit in regard to the method in
which the vote should be ascertained and
| declared,
''The law requires that the City Clerk
shall canvass the vote and issue certif-
cate to the candidate having the largest
number of votes.n
As City Clerk Burke has absconded
and as there is a question as to the legal
| ity of Mr.. Gleason holding the Office,
Michael e. Claven, President Of the Board
of Alderman, is designated by Justice
Bartlett to act as Mayor pending the final
settlement OF the dispute.
