Duluth Heights Improvement
Club Organised Under
Glorious Auspices.
Independent Water System
Construction Postponed
Until Spring.

For the tenth time in the history OF
Duluth Heights an improvement socie-
ty was organized Tuesday evening
with Charles Merritt as president, and
J, 0. Walker as secretary. Its men,
bership will consist of every legal voter
on Duluth Heights. It Is organized
on the town meeting plan, and means
to do considerable good for the COM
munity. -
Its organization came about through
the request of the Water and Light
Commissioners to delay the PROPOSE
ton of building the Heights water
plant until next year. H. H. Phelps,
a member of the commission was pre-
sent and explained the financial de-
limma in which the board had been
put, Unforeseen problems had arisen,
and in the interest of the general pub
lie it was necessary to abandon some
OF the intended improvements until
next year.
The recent break in water main
east of the Fifteenth avenue reservoir
necessitated the using of water from
that place. This reservoir was used
as a. storage, and the water had re-
manned there so long that 1t ceased to
be fresh. A public protest was made,
and the Board readily admitted that
a constant circulation in this reservoir
was necessary.
Another reservoir is being built at
West Duluth, and the Board figures
that it can save considerable money
IL 1t should put circulation pipe In
this reservoir. It has not the money
to do this now, but in consideration OF
a postponement of the Duluth Heights
system for six months it will not only
be enabled to complete the West Du-
luth reservoir, but Duluth Heights is
promised it's system as soon as the
frost is out Of the ground In the spring.
In fact the pipes are to be strung
along the streets this winter.
The matter was discussed pro. and
con for two hours. and after mature
elaboration the citizens of Duluth
Heights in the interest Of the greater
public good, acquiesced with the board.
They did it gracefully and well.
The board pledged it's word that they
would start the work Immediately after
spring opening.
It was then thought wise to organize
the meeting permanently. A public
affairs committee consisting Of w. E..
McEwen, chairman, c.. H. Merritt. c..
A. Marshall, J. o. Walker, W. D. Tom
lin, w. p. Pennell and F. A. Noble was
elected. This committee : to devote
their efforts for the upbuilding of the
Heights. All matters of public i'm
portance will be referred to it, and as
most Of the members are active men
some beneficial results will surely fol-
low. III 49, ~'t

NEW BOAT WILL
DIVE LIKE SHARK

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-A special from
Cleveland, Ohio, says:
Luther C. Thompson has invented a
submarine boat which the United
States is examining with view to
adapting to the navy department. The
new invention looks like a shark and
that Is the name Mr.. Thompson has
given the vessel.
IT have studied the actions of the
fish for Is years and my boat Is con-
structed to sink just as a fish does, by
means Of diving blades" said Thomp-
son last night. 1.-The present steering
gear used on the submarines is not
adapted to the kind of work that ves-
sells Of this class are expected to do"

JOHN MITCHELL SOUNDS
WARNING TO MINERS

President Mitchell. of the miners,
issued note of warning Of what is
coming in speech in the district
convention at Dunmore, Pa, last
week. He said: 'Never in nv life
have I felt more concerned about
the entire mining situation as now.
I don't know whether you fully 70
alize what confronts us on April /
next year. Every miner will be
without a contract Every miner
will be in position to demand what
he wants. There will be no agree
ment or board of arbitration to deter
you. But, while we will have the
liberty to make demands, the oper-
ators will also be at freedom to make
demands on us: There are external
evidences that they will have some.
On every hand stockades and fences
are being built, places are being fill
led with every available pound Of
coal. They are not doing it for
pleasue. Indications are that they
are preparing to resist your demands
or make demands on you."

There may be still another charge
to add later, but l am not sure about
that now
Mr.. German had little to say
when asked about the incidents lead
ing up to the arrest.
"These men and others of the
striking machinists have been
bothering our workmen for a long
time, said he. ''They have even
gone so far as to make threats
against the men working in the
shops. We have decided that they
have got to quit it; that is all there
is to it. have nothing else to say
regarding the matter at this time"
The three men arrested were not
so reticent and bitterly characterized
Germans action in arresting them.
eve were positively not doing a
thing when we we're arrested" said
Fred G. Boltz, secretary of the local
machinists' union, when asked about
the affair. "Eever since the strike
started in Topeka we have been
maintaing a picket line around the
shops here. Last evening eight or
ten of us were standing just north
of the shops when this man Ger
main and lot of his followers came
along. We were not even on the
walk but were standing off to one
side. German ordered us to move
on and we started to do so. Evident
ly we did not go fast enough to suit
them for they commenced kicking
us and striking US with clubs and
billies. Then we started to run and
they ran after us.
"Germain caught up with me and
hit me over the head with his billy.
why don't you fight?' he asked
me.
II told him that I didn't want to
fight and. wasn't going TO. Then they
arrested the three Of us and brought
US up here to the police station. We
didn't do a thing to resist the Of
ficers. Instead of that we did all
we could to get away and they fol-
lowed and caught US. Where he
gets the disorderly conduct and dis
turbing the peace charges I haven't
the slightest idea."
What is the other charge that
German says may be preferred
against your" Boltz was asked.
II haven't the slightest idea," he
replied. "You will have to ask Ger
amin about that"
What became of the other men
you say were with your"
Il guess they were better runners
than we are and got away" was the
laughing response.
There wasn't the slightest pos
s1ble excuse for our arrest" said w.
L. Stark.
Major A. M. Harvey was called
to the police station by telephone
and attended to the securing of
bond for the three men.

Our theater goefs are fortunate in
having an opportunity of seeing one
OF the most talked about plays Of the
present day. Under Southern Skies"
which will be seen here for the first
time on Friday and Saturday at the

ed about it, one of the treats of the
season and should not be missed by
anyone who enjoys first class play

ty-three people are required for the
speaking parts, thus making this at
traction one of the largest and most
expensive of travelling dramatic or
gan1zations. The plot of Under South
ern Skies" Is a very interesting one
and it is told by the author with so
many amusing and entertaining
touches that the play never flags or
loses it's interest. A Halloween par
V with a pumpkin dance Is something
new to the stage, and is one of the
great attractions of the play. The
costuming is very pretty and attrac-
tive. following the fashions of the
period. and many beautiful gowns are
worn. AS there are eleven ladies in
the cast, there is a variety of feminine
finery that is very pleasing, especial
~ to the ladies in the audience. "Un-
der Southern Skies" is play of such
marked success and possesses so much
refined entertainment and beauty that
none of our theatregoers can afford
to miss it.

Charles Howell made a suggestion

ing that is entitled to the considera-
ton Of every resident of the Heights
He suggested that an effort be made
to have the valuation raised on all I'M
improved property in our vicinity, and
he is undoubtedly right in his idea.
Lots are assessed in this neighbor-
hood at $13 on improved streets, and
So on unimproved streets. The owners
will not sell any Of them for less than
5000, or sixteen times their assessed
valuation. The proposition is to tax
them so that they will either come
down in price or pay their just share

only one way to cure deafness, and that is bv

Monday the supreme court of the
United States handed down a decision
in the casespf Mary Rogers, the con-
demned murderess. The court de-
cided that it is without Jurisdiction in
the case and affirmed the decision of
the United States district co~urtsof
Vermont. The effect of the decision
will be again to place the RESPONSE
bility of dealing with the case in the
hands of the state authorities and if
in the meantime neither the gov
n nor the state courts fake action
in Mrs. Rogers behalf, her execution
must occur on the day set, Dec. s.
OF Mrs. Rogers counsel, Attorney
Moloney appears discouraged, saying
that only an executive reprieve can
now postpone execution, and that the
prisoners lawyers have paid hun
dreds OF. dollars out of their own
rockets on her account. Attorney
Finn says that the cas- will be fought
to the end; that new developments
NAV occur; and that nothing will be
left undone to secure Communication,

After a good deal of study and
work we have at last figured cut how
so many country editors get rich.
Here is the secret of success. A child
is born in the Deighborhood, the at
tending physician gets $40; the editor
gives the loud-lunged youngster and
the "happy parents" a tend-off and
gets so. 1t is christened; the minister
gets SO, and the editor gets 500. 1t
grows up and marries; the editor
publishes another long winded. flow
cry article and tells a dozen lies about
t-he'beautiful, accomplished bride;"
the minister gets SO and a piece of
cake and the editor gets 5000. In the
course of time it dies and the doctor
gets from s25 to 500, the minister
perhaps gets another s15, the under
taker gets from $50 to S10o, the editor
publishes a notice of the death and
an obituary two columns long, lodge
and society resolutions, a lot of
poetry and a free card of thanks, and
gets $4,000. No wonder SO many
country editors get rich!

Peddlars' License Law Misunderstood.

A new law was passed by the legis-
lature which is not generally UNDER
stood by merchants. Under this law
it seems necessary to pay a thirty
dollar license fee once a year if any
business firm, from within or without
the state, offers any wearing apparel
of any kind for sale in any other town
than the one in which it's own regular
place of business is located. If rugs,
furs, garments, etc., are sent into the
state, or about the state. and sold by
the owner, or his agent, in the stores
of merchants, the law requires that a
license shall be secured.
