Meeting of Council.

PROSPERITY IN SMOKE.
Opposing Views Of Manufacturers and
Officials in Chicago.

Opposiu. Views of manufacturers and
Officials In Chicago.
''Smoke and prosperity go hand in
hand" declared Secretary John NJ. Glenn
of the Illinois Manufacturers association
in letter ADDRESSED to Health Commits
sioncr Reynolds. Mr.. Glenn deplored the
announcement Of the health department
that it is about to commence vigorous
campaign for the suppression of the
smoke nuisance. ''Chicago," he says.
i"during the last few years has become
one of the greatest manufacturing centers
Of the world. Two reasons exist for it's
growth as manufacturing center. One
is the low price of bituminous coal and
the other is the advantage in Transporter
ton.
Expert medical testimony shows that
smoke in the air is not injurious. 1t is
true that it does destroy garment oc-
casionally, and it is hard on white gloves
and lace curtains. but there are few
houses in this city that would have the
luxurious draperies they now possess had
it not been for bituminous coal. Manu-
facturers OF Illinois cannot meet the
prices Of the manufacturers of New York
and Pennsylvania if they are forced to
use anthracite coal"
Smoke Inspector Schubert said in re-
ply: IF there was no smoke-inspection
bureau in Chicago we would never see
the sun. We intend to carry on a vigor-
Gus campaign against the smoke NUS

WOLVES ARE NUMEROUS.
Minnesota Woods Filled with the
Gray, Gaunt Beaste.

II never saw wolves so thick in my
life this side Of the Cloquet river as
they are this winter" said a veteran
deer hunter at Duluth hotel recently.
II was out with party of friends and
we went to our old camping grounds
about six miles from the dam. We
hunted for seven days and only saw one
deer, and | got him.
But the wolves! They were plenty.
saw seven in one pack cross the ice
on a small lake that 1 was overlooking
from a high knoll. They were regula-
ton timber wolves-gaunt and gray.
and appeared to be in a big hurry after
something
The presence Of these packs of
wolves in the Cloquet valley is un-
doubtedly the reason Of so many deer
being killed around the city. The deer
come in towards the settlements to
avoid the wolves, and even run with the
farmers cattle in the woods, as wolves
always give cowbell a wide berth.
another thing that scares wolves is
tho drone Of the wind through the tele-
graph wires, and the deer seem to know
this, and that is why it is generally good
hunting along the railroad, especially
along the Iron range, between Two Har-
bors and Tower
