This Precinct.
Some Lively Times When DEM
-. ocrates Attempt to Vote
Republican Ticket.

The most interesting event on
Duluth Heights this week was the
primary election Almost every cit
1zen was actively engaged in the
contest and most OF them were zeal
ously supporting w. H. HARDWOOD
for the Republican nomination for
Alderman. Duluth Heights people
have the faculty OF getting together
whenever "a neighbour is candidate
for political office. This has been
proven on two different occasions.
The good results from such harmony
will be appreciated in future cleo
lions. Mr.. Harwood made a gallant
fight, but he lacked workers in the
lower part OF the city. The hand
some vote given him shows the
esteem in which he Is held in this
community. There were many live
ly events during the day. Several
Democrats attempted to vote in the
Republican primaries out of friend
ship for MI. HARDWOOD but they were
challenged by the Republican judge.
This caused some >frolic among the
voters, and considerable discussion
arose over the defects in the primary
election. The result OF the vote was
as follows:-For Comptroller, w. S.
Mccormick IS; A. E. Zimmerman
IA; for special Judge, J. D. Holmes
IL, Shubeal White, II; Chas. Nc
Pherrin, Is; D. M. .Devore, g.; for
alderman, H. A. Wing, Z; W.: H.

votes were registered.

MINOT UNDERGOES
RADICAL REFORM

MINOT, N. D., Dec. 20-Minot is un-
dergoing radical moral reformation
the better class Of citizens having in
stigated a crusade against gambling,
blind pig operating and the red light
district.
The grand jury. now in session, fs
entering into a research Of Minot city
morals, and several parties who have
not conformed to the laws relative to
the sale of liquor, gambling and other
pernicious actions are in the limelight
glare Of criticism.
Indictments have been entered
against the sheriff elect and the judge
of probate. the former on the charge
OF Offering a deputyship prior to cleo

and the latter for making a. bet.
Editor e. L. Zimmerman, formerly
of the Optic, and who is before the
court on a charge Of criminal libel, Is
to be tried today and it is the opinion
that the prosecution will fail to make
a case against him. The Optic has
been sold and Mr.. Zimmerman is now
at work on a. Fargo paper.
Minot has an overabundance of legal
lights, the town having no less than
twenty-five opponents Of Blackstone,
and the county some twenty-five more,
which gives the people a decidedly
"copious'' opportunity to settle their
differences, either civil or criminal, with

Citizens Alliance Declaration
Of An Industrial War to the
Bitter End,
Organ of Citizens Alliance
Comes Out With Death =
Statement.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-"Peace-
ably, If possible, war if necessary"
The above threat has nothing to do
with the war in the "far east" but ap-
peared in one of the Citizens Alliance
organs published in this city. -.
This is a fair sample Of the propo-
ganda work of the Parry organizations
of the Pacific coast. They say that the
trades unions are unpatroitic and I'M
American. At the same time labor holds
that if the spirit breathed in the dec
laration, "Peaceably, if possible; war if
necessary" is any Indication Of the
Parry organizations idea Of patriot
ism, then the labor organizations are
proud to differe with them.
The paper in question is devoted to
the cause Of the Alliance. It bears the
evidence of pure graft sheet Its
ediotr, Mr.. Ready, who boasts of be-
ing the most noted strike breaker in
the country, spends most Of his time
telling about his admirable qualities in
the publication. TIE has held the manu-
facturers of the west, who are opposed
to union labor, up for immense sums of
money to publish his sheet
When the Alliance wave is over, Mr..
Ready will step down and out with
Ducts, and the dupes of manufacturers
who were his easy prey, will have seen
the error of their waves, and make
peace with honest, reliable and INTEL
ligent labor.

that among the applicants for chief

is s. man seeking the position who Is
not only non-member of a trades

through the influence Of organized Ia
Dor that the state labor bureau was
established, and it's success is attrib-
uted to the untiring interest Of organ

and factory laws;
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
members Of the Tug Firemen & Line

luth. Minnesota, believe that the fu-
ture success Of the bureau depends
upon the sincerity manifested by those
appointed to enforce said laws, and
further be it resolved that We pro-
test against the appointment of one,
Joseph Nylander, a non-union engineer
and an avOWed and bitter opponent Of
union labor, to the position of factory
inspector of this state. and we further
urge that the governor-elect, in sell
Getting the person for said position will
choose a member Of organized labor,
one who has the best interests Of the
bureau at heart.

luton be sent to the governor elect,

A NATIONS SAVINGS.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The old adage that many mickle
make muckle is admirably illustrated
by the fact that the savings of the
people Of this country in financial in
situations which make a speciality of
receiving small sums amount to more
than three billion dollars, q sum entire
~ incomprehensible, but equal to more
than three times the funded national
debt. This statement must not be
taken as representing anything like
the nations savings. Other billions are
not in the banks reporting and some of
the money therein belongs to people in
good circumstances, but It is certain
that the total as given represents lese
rather more than the savings=of the
Woodworking people in the shape: Of

American Trade in Manchuria.

Washington. May ga report on
American trade in Manchuria has Just
been received at the State Department
from United States Consul Henry E.
Miller at New Chwang, China.
Mr.. Miller says that the entire trade
of Manchuria during the year Of 1899
went through the port of New Chwang
whereas this year there are seven diff
ferent avenues of trade, each doing
considerable business. The consul says
there are no official records from
which to give even an estimate of the
quantity of goods coming in and going
out through the various channels, and
excepting New Chwang.
The foreign imports in 1903 for New
Chwang amounted to $13,314,012,
against $15,641.442 in 1899, the largest
import in the history of that port.
Manchlria, the consul says, is ex-
tremely rich in minerals, including
coal, iron, copper, silver, gold and
other kinds, but these have been
worked only in a small and crude way
by the natives. Should this mineral
wealth be developed and worked by
modern methods in a manner fitting
its economic possibilities, Manchuria.
he predicts, will prove to be one of the
richest sections of Asia.
Mr. Miller says it is mistake to at
tribut to the growth of Manchurian
trade to the building of the Russian
railway, as the bulk of the produce is
hauled in carts, which compete with
the railroad in haul of 400 miles or
more.
1T is erroneous to think that United
States has monopoly of the Manchur-
ian trade or that there is no successful
competitor" says the consul, ''as there
are four active sources of competition,
each striving for stronger hold on
the trade, and the contest is so close
that the variation in the value between
gold and silver have determining in
fluence thereon"
The products of the hand looms of
China, known as nankeens, made from
the yarns produced in the various cot
ton mills of China from both native
and foreign cotton, is the strongest
competitor.
Mr.. Miller says that the growth in
the trade of the United States cotton
goods in Manchuria represents the
greatest expansion of United States
trade in, the Orient, and the year 1908
was the largest in its history. There
is reason to believe that considerable
trade came into the country through
Dalny and Port Arthur. The schedule
of imports forwarded by Mr.. Miller
shows that the United States has al
most the entire foreign trade in cot
ton cloth passing through New
Chwang.
Mr.. Miller closes his report by say
ing that the development Of the flour
milling business in Manchuria and the
sale of the cheaper Shanghai flour
have practically closed the market for
United States flour at all points ex
cept Port Arthur.
