Firms Are Not MOngOlians

Judge Cant in District Court in
Duluth has held that Firms are not
Mongolians and have a right to be-
come citizens Of the United States.
Several Firms made application to
the court of Duluth under the new
naturalization law to be admitted to
citizenship. There were objections on
The part of the United States attorney
un the ground that the Films are
still members of the Monaghan race.
Judge Cant took the case under ad-
visement and went back in the his
tory Of races. He traced the Firms
back aud found that they were origin
ally Mongolians. He came back again,
however, and found an intermingling
of races to such an extent that he de.
cided that they are not now members
of the Mongolian race. Judge Cant
holds that following this informing
ling of races and people the natives of
Finland must be termed white people
and as such are entitled to citizen
ship. provided their other qualitica-
lions are found to be all right.

Many, Wolves.

Sam Kitto of Tower, who is recog-
nized as the heaviest fur buyer in
this country, collected 1925 bounty on
wolf pelts from the county auditor
Monday. Kitto had II pelts of wolves
killed in the county this trip. He
has made iU business all winter of
paying particular attention to wolf
pelLs, aud his monthly income from
this industry alone nets him con-
siderable figure. Those he brought
in Monday were taken by the follow
ing: f. e. G. Clark, 2; Louis Peter
sou, 1; Henry Wood. 2; Joseph Kan
yes, 8; Jim Huntstable, 3; Charles
Goodski. 8; Albert Everett, 2, and
Joseph Sky, l.
All wolf pelts presented to the
auditor have the ears punched so as
to make it impossible to present them
again. Last week Mr.. Kitto had IA
pelts, and he says he meets with a
good sale in Wisconsin, where the
larger part are disposed of. The Kill
ling of wolves has been very profit
able industry this winter, and never
before were they 80 easy to get.

ropes that hold up the arc lights on
four corners, doing considerable dam

where the joke comes in and are Offer

This fellow was no good. 1t is sup

no clue has been discovered by the

ORE BUYING
Not Much Expected i'm This
Line.

The Iron age says; The iron ore
firms at Cleveland who find their mar
ket largely among the merchant blast
furnaces of Ohio and Pennsylvania
have fallen in with the general move
nent of producers of pig iron and
steel. The decision reached at Fri
days meeting at Cleveland that no
reduction from last years prices is adj
visable for 1908 marks departure in
the lake ore trade. Ore buying was
not expected to follow it, and time
must be given for any effect of the ac-
zion to appear farther down the line.
That it will be an off year in ore is
foregone conclusion, and thus the
hunt by consumers for other than
lake sources of supply may not be
vigorous. At present Lake Superior
ores are being turned into pig iron at
about forty per cent Of the rate at
which they came down the lakes last
year.
Apart from the ore meeting, inter-

ference of the pig iron producers Of

DAY CURRENT
Movement on Foot to Estab-

The establishment of day electric
service is being agitated by large

ject are favoraDly Inclined, and at the
next meeting of the council the mat
Ter will be brought up for discussion.
Some hesitation has been felt as
TO the day service being a paying in
veslment. The more the subject is
looked into the more it can be seen
where the service would be of untold
benefit and also where it would pay
for itself within a reasonable time.
At the present time quite demand
is felt by several institutions for a
day service, Many of the meat mar.
keLs would use it for the running Of
their machinery, as would also the
printing Office. The schools would
require power for their ventilating
plants; stores could use motors for rum

could be furnished for easements
where at present lamps are required;
fans, electric cookers, irons, and
hundred and one uses can be found
for the current, and that at much
less expense than the present mode Of
procedure. After establishment, the
