CLIMBING MONKEY IDEA

would probably be laughed at for his
pains. But w. P. Shattuck Of 2l25 Cir

KEY, by the way, has done this very
thing, and has combined in the device
some exceedingly novel ideas. The West
hotel fire set Mr.. Shattuck to thinking,
and as a result he has now perfected
portable fire escape which can be car
ried in the hip pocket, is4long enough to
reach to the ground from the highest
stories Of any ordinary building, andsso

This is the application Of the climbing

NEW DEAL ASSURES
PRINTING OF STATUTES

The revised statutes will be printed
in Minnesota, by union labor. The Pho
neer Press company, which was so Grip.
pied by the strike that it was not able
to complete the work on time, sur
rendered the contract yesterday, after
a conference with the state commission,
and it was Immediately. Rewarded to
the St. Paul Review company. The Re
view people will buy all type SO far
set, all paper stock, bindings, ETC., and
so will take advantage of all the work
that has been done. They are bonded,
and promise to get the work out by
Feb. 26. If necessary, night shifts will
be put on to complete the work.
The work will be issued at the same
price as under the former contract,
So volume, and will be in the
hands Of attorneys and judges, it is
promised, before March 1, when the
code becomes the law Of the state.
This outcome ends the danger of an
extra session, which was imminent. The
governor is not. a member Of the COM
mission, and has had no official knowl-
edge of the situation at any time. He
was opposed to calling an extra session
unless absolutely necessary, but would
have done SO as last resort.
