Duluth, MIMI, Jan. 13.-Major Charles L.
Potter United States engineer in charge OF Lake
Superior, has issued his annual report of the
commerce Of the Duluth Superior harbor, and all
will take pride in it. "
The freight movement for 1905 was 22,676, 145
net tons Of total value of $1e6, ISL, 5S4. This
Is an increase Of S61a per cent over the receipts
and shipments in 1904, and the increase in yalu-
alton Is more than $38, DOC, 600. The increase III
net freight tons for the harbor last year was 696
per cent over 1890. .a ,
Major Potter says in his report that consider
ing the mean monthly freight smovement during
the season of navigation the Duluth Superior
harbor practically stands next to New York.
The major finds it difficult to make compari-
sons with the leading ocean ports Of the United
States, for the reason that the customs houses
of ocean ports do not keep records of domestic
commerce. The Duluth Superior harbor, how
ever, is one of the most important In the world
as regards volume and value of commerce.
.s Fight Over a Woman.
A desperate fight occurred last evening in q
candy store at 307 West Superior street between
Charles Stratig and Albert Apostolakis, during
which the latter received terrible cut on the
head. The men fought over woman, Stratig is
under arrest -".' -.
Apostolakis was former partner of Stratig.
Both are Greeks. The former came to the store
to deliver an umbrella and he accuses Stratig
or attacking him with a knife use for scraping
candy kettles. Alex Madison, Finn, took the
lead in stopping the fight. Stratig claims he
struck the injured man with the umbrella that
the latter had just returned.
The fight created much excitement at busy
point on the street.
Mattson declares Apostolakis would have been
killed If the battle had progressed longer.
