TO HAVE WIRELESS PHONES.
Several Freighters on Great Lakes
Will Be Equipped This Year.

When the big freighters are loos-
ended from their icy mornings and be-
gin the down-lake trips this spring
several of them will be equipped with
wireless telephone apparatus, accord
ing to NJ. L. Rosenwall, general man
ager of the Collins Northwest Wire
less Telegraph and Telephone com
pany of Fargo, who is I'm Duluth in
the interests of his concern, says the
News Tribune.
Wireless telephone people point to
the advantage of the wireless tele'
phone over the wireless telegraph for
such purposes, inasmuch as it is much
cheaper to maintain and anyone of
the crew can use it. 1t does not re-
quire a skilled operator as does the
wireless telegraph. Central stations
will be established at Duluth and 9TH
err Great Lakes ports in order to make
the installation of the telephones on
ships practicability.
In about two months a long dis
lance station will be in operation in
Duluth. Mr.. Rosenwall said last night
ing cities in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota would be connected by
this medium of communication: Du-
luth, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Fargo, Bis
marck, Mandan, Grand Forks, Dick
inson, Minot, Aberdeen and Sioux
Falls.
In addition to controlling the rights
of sale for the wireless telephone in
the northwest, the company also has
the sole rights for Collins Sanchez
High Frequency apparatus. 1t is
claimed for this machine that it is
the only portable static machine work
ing on both the alternating and the
direct current.

HOUCHTON LIBRARY GIVEN
FIRST I'ANSE NEWSPAPER

Through the kindness of Richard
Treloar the Houghton public library
has come into possession of a bound
volume OF the first newspaper ever
published in L'Anse. There are only II
copies of the newspaper I'm the binding
and they cover the summer months "
1874, the first issue being that of April
10. In spite of their age. the copies
of the paper are i'm splendid state Of
preservation and the press work is
very creditable for the handicap un-
der which printers then labored.
"The Industrial Age" is the name
emblazoned across the top Of the sheet
in a fancy font of Old English and be-
meath this appears the motto OF the
paper. "Open to All Parties; Influenced
b, None" Joseph C. Waldron's name
also appears on the top as editor and
publisher. In the last issue of these
i'm the covers is the announcement that
chose indebted to the paper must set
tie before September 10 or be sued"
This looks as If II were the papers dy-

In a perusal OF the pages of the old

of many commodities are not nearly so

Probably the greatest difference in
prices is that on that much talked of

INTEREST PAID BY CITIES.
Those in South and West Charge the
HIGHEST Rates.


Washington ID. c., March S.-The
rate of interest paid by cities on their
interest bearing debt at the close OF
the fiscal year 1907, depended largely
upon geographic location, the cities in
the west and south paying on the av-
erage a higher rate of interest than
those i'm the north eastern section of
the country, according to the u. s.
Census Bureaus forthcoming report on
the statistics OF the 15S cities IN the
United States which had a population
of over 10000 each at the time men
toned.
The highest average interest rates
were:
In cities of over 100000 population,
Al per cent. in Chicago, Cleveland,
Milwaukee and New Orleans; i'm cities
of from 100000 to 10000 population.
ga per cent. in Denver; in cities Of
from $4,000 to 100000 population. SO
per cent. i'm Tacoma. Wash; i'm cities
of from 10000 to $4,000 population, 90
per cent. in birmingham. Ala.
The corresponding lowest rates were
32 per cent. i'm Washington, SO per
cent in Providence, SO per cent. in
Hartford, and SO per cent. In Blrming-

In a fierce and hard fought battle
Mohawk last night defeated Hancock
in the Amphidrome by the score of to
l. successfully defending it's lead in
the race for the pennant of the Copper
Country Amateur Hockey league. The
ice was i'm splendid condition and one
Of the largest crowds of the season
was i'm attendance, Mohawk sending
over $50 rooters down TO the game on
: the special train.
The winning of this game does not
settle the fight for the championship,
but it gives Mohawk a very great adj
vantage over Hancock. The only way
Hancock can win the flag is by win
ming the remaining three games IF
their schedule, two of which will be
against Houghton and the other
against the team which defeated them
last night. and then beating Mohawk
in the rubber, as the winning of the
three games by Hancock would maxi
two teams tied for first place.
First Half Ends in Tie.
Mohawk took the lead at the very
beginning of the game and at the end
of six minutes, Chaput picked the puck
from the scrimmage in front Of Han
cocks goal and made the first score
for the visitors. Right after this the
Hancock boys took a brace and played
some fine hockey, keeping the puck
much of the time in Mohawk's terri
tory.
Both sides were putting up a mighty
fast game and kept the disk shooting
all over the rink. During this period
the only penalty Of the game was met
ed out when Waara was sent to the
bench for tripping, although the Judge
of play might have exercised his au
thority I'm this direction more often
without hurting his conscience. as the
play was very nasty i'm some spots.
As the end Of the half drew near |

and time had to be taken out to revive

fray and four minutes before the end |
of the session he worked a combina-
ton with Began that netted the Han
cock team their only goal of the game. |

Second Section a Runaway.
When the teams lined up for the
second part Of the game the local team
went TO work with a vim and for the
first five minutes the rubber was near
Mohawk's goal almost constantly, but
the boys could not seem TO hold the
pace and Mohawk soon started a scor-
ing rally that the Hancock aggregation
seemed entirely unable TO cope with. At
the end of six minutes, Brewer shot a
fine goal from near the center of the
ice and a minute later Chaput made
another goal i'm almost the same man
ner.
It was then eight minutes before
any more scoring could be done at the
end Of which time Hogan took the
puck on a combination play and made i,
the fourth tally for the visitors. Three
minutes later they had the puck in the
net again. but on an off-side and the
referee brought the puck back to the h
game continued and about one min
ute later Uksila found an opening and h
scored another net.
