MORE THAN SCORE OF PERSONS
KILLED IN COLLISIONS IN
THAT PROVINCE.

st. Petersburg, Feb s.-For the mo-
ment the startling crime in Helsnig-
fors has withdrawn attention from the
strike situation throughout Russia.
Tuesdays events in Poland and the
Caucasus, however. are quite serious
enough IN themselves. Disorders in
the smaller industrial towns of Po-
land have added more than score to
the total of the killed, and troops have
been sent to Warsaw and Kutno, eigh-
ty-three miles west of Warsaw, to
queIl uprisings there. The strike con-
ditions in the Caucasus are becoming
worse, and traffic on the Transcau-
casian railway is interrupted.
The men employed in three st. Pc
tersburg factories threatened to walk
out Tuesday but the grievance in this
instance, which was over strike pay,
was settled at a conference.
A large nail factory in the VassiH
Ostroff section was burned Tuesday
and reports of incendiarism were cur
rent, but appear to have been based
on presumption rather than proof.
Issues a Violent Proclamation.
The central committee of the Rus
sian Social Democratic Workmcn's
party has issued a violent proclama-
ton which has been widely circulated
IN the factories of ST. Petersburg,
calling on the operatives to array them
selves under the red flag of the Social
Democracy and prepare for an armed
renewal of the January demonstra-
lions. The proclamation bitterly as.
sails church and state and the higher
classes. ~.
Maxim Gorky's wife has been per-
mitted to visit him in the fortress of
st. Peter and st. Paul. Gorky is suf-
fering from slight indisposition due
to imprisonment. He is receiving
every attention. .,..... ...
Father Gopon, the leader of the
workmen of st. Petersburg, in the af-
fair of Jan. %, is now known to be in

To Revise Censorship Laws.
The committee of ministers has de-

PRIMARY ELECTION DISCUSSION

PRIMARY ELECTION DISCUSSION.
One would be led to believe, from
reading the Grand Forks Herald, that
the primary election bill, handed
down to the house by the senate, is a
sacred document that cannot, with
safety, be considered or amended by
the lower house. Radical primary
election reformers seem to believe in
force rather than reason.
Indeed it may be seriously ques-
toned if there are not those in advo.
cacy of this measure who at heart are
really opposed to any reform in our
caucus and election systems, and who
hope, by their radicalism, to kill the
measure, or at least weaken it. 80.
The republican party of this state is
pledged, by its state platform to a
lust and comprehensive primary cleo
ton lava feasible system, based
on the experience of other states, OF
nominating public officials
Such an act must and will be passed
by this legislature. It must, however
be left to the judgment of the legisla
ture to what extent the primary sys
tenn will be applied-whether to ali
public officials from congressman
down. to poundmasters or only to a
portion. There are those equally con
scientious, equally sincere in their de-
sire for political reforms with the
most radical, who do not believe it is
wise to extend the primary system
to the fullest extent at this time. They
are not so sure that the system will
be success; they would like to bene.
fit by the experience of other states,
as admonished in the last state plat.
form. ..E
The senate bill now in the house,
and referred to it's proper committee
should be given careful consideration
with a view to perfecting the measure
in every respect. f.
It is believed by many that the
measure should not, at this time, ex.
tend further than to county and city
officials, members of the legislature
and delegates to state conventions
They would like to see the unit rule
abolished and at the state convention
each delegate allowed to vote, by the
Australian or secret ballot for every
nominee for congress, for members OF
the supreme court, presidential cleo.
tors and state officers. They believe
that such restriction would accomp
lish the real reform that is wanted
and needed, without burdening the
state with the expense and doubtful
expediency Of two elections. There
can be no good argument against the
primary sytem as applied to local Of
fees and district members of the leg
islature but there is good ground fol
fear that as applied to state officers
the state as a unit is too large and
that an unfit candidate, with means
may have a great advantage over a
proper candidate with moderate OF
limited means. .E..
AS primary legislation is the most
important of any that can be brought
forth at this session it does seem that
the measure should receive the full
est consideration with view of max
ing perfect bill as far as it goes
The bill as it comes from the senate
contains serious defects that ought to
be corrected and it will not do to ques
ton the sincerity of all those who ash
for an opportunity to be heard on the
proposition and offer suggestions.

Why the Stove Was on Posts.
From the Boston Herald.


During the college days of ex-Mayor Bes-
som of Lynn he had two of the professors
OF the college as guests at a hunting camp
In the Maine woods. When they entered
the camp their attention was attracted to
the unusual position Of the stove. which
was set on posts about four feet high
One of the professors began to comment
upon the knowledge woodsmen gain by OBJ
servation. Now" said he, this man has
discovered that the heat radiating from the
steve strikes the roof and the circulation is
50 quickened that the camp is warmed in
much less time than would be required II
the stove was in its regular place on the
floor"
The other professor was of the opinion
that the stove was elevated to be above the
window, In order that cool and pure air
could be had at night
Mr.. BeSSom, being more practical con-
tended that the stove was elevated in order
that a good supply of green would could
be placed beneath it to dry
After considerable argument each man
placed a dollar bill upon the table ana 1t
was agreed that the one whose opinion was
nearest the guides reason for eleyating the
stove should take the pool. The guide was
called and asked why the stove was placed
in such an unusual position
We'll" said he, wien I bought the stove
up the river / lost most of the stovepipe
overheard and had to set the stove up there
so to have the pipe reach through the
roof"

Fecundity of Fish.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The recently published report of the Brit
ish government dealing with the fishery and
Autographed Investigations In the North
sea during the years 1923 contains much
interesting data concerning the fecundity
of fish. According to the report the turbot
is one Of the most prolific of sea fishes. The
number of eggs in five specimens examined
varied from over five millions to more than
ten millions. The heaviest of these speci-
mems weighed only twenty-one pounds, and
the fact is expressed that large specimens
are still more fertile. There Is, however,
out limited information extant concerning
the rate of growth of turbot, but speci-
men marked and put back in the sea on
May q 1891, had grown from six to eight
inches when caught again on August 81 of
the same year. Unlike some round fishes
the fiat species keep to the bottom of the
sea and move along it. travelling great dis
tances. Records have been obtained show
ing that platce have travelled eight EIGHT
miles in twenty-eight days. or an average of
not less than three miles a day. Expert
ments IN the large spawning pond of the
fishery boards laboratory at Aberdeen
showed that this fish could cover more than
a mile in an hour. Apparently the brill Is
not so fertile as the turbot. A brill weigh
ing only five and a half pounds had the
comparatively trihing number of S25 900
eggs. The halibut takes second place as
to quantity, and third as to value among
all the fiat fishes. In specimen weighing
ninety-one pounds no less than ,327 900
eggs were found

Mormons Succeed in Mexico.

From the San Francisco Call
The four American Mormon settlements
situated in the state of Chihuahua are In a
prosperous condition. An official report
was recently made to. the federal govern
ment by the chief official Of these four
colonies. The largest of these colonies is
Colonia Dublan, which has a population
of $50 persons, who own $1,000 acres Of
land. These ~colontsts have established a
large flour MILL and also operate Ium-
Der mill, tannery and an iron foundry.
Most of their land Is in high state Of
cultivation. The colonists are also extern
sive fruit growers.
Next to Colonia Dublan in size Is Colonia
Juarez which has 654 inhabitants and
owns $4,000 acres of land. These colonists
operate large furniture factory where
all kinds OF furniture Is manufactured; a
shoe factory, a tannery, -four mill. a
canning factory and an iron foundry Sew
eral industries of minor Importance are
also operated there.
Colonia Diaz has $50 inhabitants, who
own IA. lao acres of land They also oper-
ate a flour mill, an iron foundry and 9TH
er industries.
The smallest OF the four colonies Is Co.
lonia Pacheco, which has 2S5 Inhabitants,
who own 1880 acres of land. These COL
onists operate two lumber mills and other
industries.
All of these colonists devote much at
tention to growing wheat and other staple
crops. They live quietly and are all on
the best of terms with their Mexican
neighbors.

How Birds Scatter Fish Spawn.

From the Topeka Capital
Senator Young asked Del Travis how It
happened that catfish and sunfish could be
found in ponds on the prairie or any place
else where there was no connection with
running water, and received an explanation
which is interesting. Every boy knows that
he can catch bull heads in ponds which
have not had running water in them for
years, and the boys have had many differ
explanation OF the boy is that it rains fish
sometimes.
The reason of 1t is this" said Mr.. Ira
Wis: THE catfish and the sunfish lay their
eggs In shallow water. In fact they al
ways get as close to the shore as possible
to deposit their eggs. The eggs are sticky
substance, and when the birds get into the
water to take bath they get the eggs on
them Then they fly away and the eggs.
which really can hardly be called eggs at
the time they are In the first stage, become
dry The bird then goes to the first water

she eggs and they settle In the pond. They
hatch In a short time. and that accounts
for the bull heads In the ponds.
There is another way the eggs are scat

WALKER MADE FIRST MATCH.
But the Druggists Invention Was Not
a Success.

In the nineteenth Ceutury--the century in

paper. and 1t burst into flame.
The druggist had discovered the first fric-
don chemical match. the kind we use today

made by mixing certain chemicals together
ard rubbing them. Although Walkers

In few years, however. phosphorus was
substituted on the tip for anthony and
the change worked wonders. The match
could now lie lighted with Very little rub
bling. and il was no longer necessary to
have sandpaper upon which to rub IT, 1t
would ignite when rubbed on any dry sur
face. and there was no longer any spnItter-
ing. This was the phosphorus match, the
match with which we are so familiar
After the invention of the easily lighted
phosphorus match there was no longer use
for the dip-splint or the strike-a-light The
old methods OF getting a blaze were grad
Ually laid aside and forgotten. The first
