The Green Eyed rlonster

Los Angeles has annexed her suburbs
Vernon, Pico Heights and Rosedale. 1t is
claimed that these districts had from l2,-
OOO 10 1000 population, and consequent
ly the numbers of the Southern California
city will be increased to that extent. How.
ever. there were only 1918 votes cast in
the annexed district, and the reports in the
Los Angeles papers show that outside the
city the contest was a hot one, and in
places every vote was brought out; so
either there must be an astonishing propoi :
ton of non-voters among the Los Angeles
suburbs. or the estimate of population
gained is an exaggerated one. The saloon
people, both inside the city and out, worke d

dinary times. No rumors of nihlistc eff
feet at the coronation have been in circu-
lation, so far as the outside world knows,
but information of that kind does not
travel in Russia the way it does in other
countries. Newspapers are very guarded
in what they print, for the smallest offense
might land the editors in some filthy dun
geon, or, worse still, in the mines of ST.
IBERIA.
This coronation, to which the nations of
the world will send their ablest men, en-
hancing its splendor and Importance, will
be the engine of more misfortune and
misery than any happening in Russia in
years. 1t will! swell the Siberian colony to
untold figures, and heap the thousands of
prisons in the empire with armies of un-
happy men and women. Already, the
cable informs us. the third section has its

Mining Contracts Flied Saturday

The contracts between the owners
OF the Grand Portage. Isle Royale
and Huron mines and N.F. Leopold,
trustee, were fled with Register of
Deeds Jaehnig of Houghton county,
Saturday, In each case 800 forfeit
money has been paid, and until De-
cember ID is given the latter to look
up the titles. In case the title is
found as represented by the owners
and the purchase fails to be made,
the 5000 is forfeited, but should the
title be not as represented, then
this sum may be drawn down. Pay
ment must be made on or before De-
cember 10, and in the case of each
property the terms are as follows:
One-third in cash, one-third in ne
gotiable six month note, and one
third in one year note. The price
named in the contract in the case of
the Grand Portage is SO, 395. Is; for
the Huron S4S, 469 -; and the Isle
Royale $23, 676.03.
Fifteen hundred dollars seems a
small guarantee for the closing Of a
deal involving such an amount, but
Mr.. Leopold is so well known to this
community and was personally so
confident that his principles will go
ahead and with abundant capital,
that the latter fact adds consider
ably to the confidence of Houyhton
people in the long hoped for outcome.
no document in the case OF the
mineral right to the Montezuma was
fled with the others, but we under
stand that it involves an amount
about equal to the Grand Portage.

A THRILLING MOMENT.
A Miner Saves His Partner From,
Being Blown to Death.

Emil Hitler, miner employed in
the Pewabc mine, was saved from u
horrible death Wednesday of last
week by the heroism OF his partner,
Charles Vetercranz, says the Iron
Mountain Press.
The men had prepared charge of
dynamite for making blast, and
Hitler had just lighted The fuse when
fall of ground occurred. Hitler
was caught under the mass and was
pinioned to the ground u few feet
away from the spluttering fuse,
which would in few brief seconds
ignite the dynamite and blow him
to eternity. Mr.. Vetercranz, who
was NUMBER o, yards away and cs-
capped the falling mass of ore, i'm
mcdiately realized the great danger
OF Hitler, and saw that, unless the
fuse was at once extinguishcd, nc
would be blown to pieces. There
was only one chance in a hundred OF
his being able TO reach the fuse be
fore it exploded the cartridge, but
Vctcrcranz, with rare heroism, de
termincd that he would take that
chance. He darted swiftly forward
and tore the fuse from the cartridge.
He was just in time, the cap explod-
ing in the air. In the fraction Of q
second Netercranz and Hitler would
have been mangled masses OF hui
manity Acts Of heroism are OF
frequent occurrence in our mines. but
none more thrilling or daring than
the foregoing have ever been chron-
icled. 1t was the deed Of a hero, ant
deserving Of recognition by the GOV.
ernment.
When Hitler was eXtricatcG from
under the mass of ore il was dis
covered that both legs had beer
broken, and he was otherwise in
| jured, but his recovery is not qucs
toned. He is now undergoing treat
ment at the Pewabic hospital, and
! is resting quite comfortably.

Would Certainly be Unjust.

1t is reported that another at
tempt will be made this winter to
induce President Cleveland to issue
an order placing the village post
masters of the entire country under
the classified service, SO as to pre-
vent the removal of the present in
cumbents by the next administra
tion. It is not thought probable,
however, that he will consent to do
so. 1t is an open secret that Mr..
Cleveland had this matter under
serious consideration last year and
then decided that such change was
not practicable, and the same OBJ
jections exist now that existed then.
In addition to this it would be con
sidered rather undignified for him
to make such sweeping and radi-
cal change in the system, just at the
expiration of his term, and would
lay him open to the charge of in
tentionally depriving his successor
of patronage he had himself enjoyed,
in order to protect his appointees.
However, the matter is being re-
vived with more energy than ever,
and blank petitions are being sent
to all persons who are likely to ia
vor the cause, asking them TO sign
them and forward them to the
president.

WHY NOT
Organize Club to Aid i'm the
Preservation Of Game Dur
ing Closed Season?

II is certainly a fact that the
slaughter of deer during the closed
season. as well as various other
game, is carried on to quite an ex-
tent in this county. notwithstand-
ing the efforts pat forth by the
game warden TO prevent the same.
1t is impossible for the game warden
to be in various parts of the county
at the same time, and those who
violate the game laws are well
aware of tn fact, and stealthily
carry on their work OF slaughter.
1t is certainly true that many deer
are run down and killed during
the winter months, and the meat
used as daily food.
Why would it not be wise
plan to organize club in Baraga
county, the various members of
which could quietly keep on the
lookout for offenders, and as they
would not be known, might aid
in enabling the game warden to
bring the violators of the law to
justice?
There is one thing certain. if
something is not done to preserve
deer and other game during the
closed season, in a few years
hunters will undoubtedly have
poor picking Why not organize
such a club in L'Anse, and also one
in Bara0a2

We think that parents neglect one
important duty, and that is to occa-
sionally visit the school in which
their children are being educated.
BY doing so they not only have an
opportunity of seeing for themselves
how things are conducted there, but
they encourage teachers and pupils
to further effort. No good teacher
but feels brighter after an intelligent
visit from father or mother. And
then the children. Do you remember
how pleased you used to be when
your parents called at the school
