It has long been known at the department
that large quantities Of goods are annually

with martial success. as to stop it entirely

was performing my duty in that capacity
the 29th Of June. Mr.. Rodrick did not take
the oath of office until July /.

II am Of the opinion that Mr. w. r.

the board Of education, his appointment to

cepted the appointment and entered upon
hts duties he Is entitled to the compensa-

claim Of Mr.. Twombly for salary for anv
period after the appointment and quaIifi-
cation OF his successor, based upon the
action of the board in granting him leave
of absence with pay from July /, is with
out foundation In law, for the reason that
the board had no right to grant such leave
with pay. That he was not secretary of

beyond question. Tor aside from the ap-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SEASON.
Freight Tonnage Through SauIt Ca-
mails CLOSE TO Five Million.

Freight Tonnage Through SauIt Ca-
mails Close to Five Million.
October was another record breaking
month for traffic through the Sault ca
mails, the aggregate of freight amounting
to the enormous total of 4,174,575 tons. 1t
is growing apparent that the 5000, 0G0 tons
mark for a single month is not more than
a year or two distant. The freight traf-
fic of the canals for October this year ex-
ceeds that of the same month a year ago
by nearly 1000, 1000 tons. The commerce
each month during the past five has ex-
ceeded 4,000 000 tons, and the total to Nov.
l was 24,543,61O tons.
Estimates made some time ago were
that the seasons traffic this year would
probably amount to 27,000,000 tons, a sub
stantial increase over last year, and as
1t will be necessary for the canals to
show UP less than 250),900 tons this
month to make that record, it would seem
that it will be realized unless winter is
going to close in earlier than usual and
put a stop to the ore movement.
In view of the shortage of 100000 tons
at the Mssabe docks in Duluth his
season, the fear has been expressed that
the commerce of the Duluth-Superior har-
Dor would show a falling off as compared
with last year. But this is offset by the
increase in ore shipments from the East
ern Minnesota, and the harbor viii show
an increase this season as usual.

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS.
Wells, Fargo Company Planning for
Marriage Licenses.


The Wells-Fargo company this year, as
usual, will observe Thanksgiving and
Christmas toward the employees in a sub
stantial way. Each married employee or
employee upon whom is dependent a fam
lily will receive a regulation size live
turkey and a quart of oysters, sufficient
for good spread on Thanksgiving day.
The compliment will be repeated Christ
mas.
In order to give employees turkey din
ners, the events are carefully looked after
from headquarters, and orders go out far
in advance for agents to search the mar
kets for the best fowls, and thousands of
turkeys are ''dead-headed' over the coun-
try wherever tht Fargo reaches, from one
ocean to the other.
The idea saw it's inception about
twelve years ago in San Francisco, and
has since served to weld a kindlier feel
ing between officials and rank workers.
