consisting of three rooms. Rev. J.
5. NJ. Genin, o. M. l., arrived in Janl-
airy, 1873, and began at once to make
improvements in the church. He Sc
cured bell, had new affairs built, and
otherwise provided improvements. He
also built larger residence.
Father Genin was succeeded by
Father Christopher Murphy, in Octo'
Der, 1882, and he remained in Duluth
until 1885, when he was succeeded by
Rev. G. J. Goebel, who continued in
Duluth. Duluth was created an epis.
copal see.
The arrival of Bishop James Nc
Golrick on the evening of June 8
1890, on special train with a dele
cation from Minneapolis, marked a
new epoch in Catholicity in Duluth
He was installed by Archbishop Ire

When Bishop McGolrick took hole
of the Duluth diocese there were few

ing was heated by stoves. The Pro-
cathedral, together with the episcopal
cathedral, was destroyed by fire July
2, 1892, and with the exception of
some books and furniture, the entire
property was destroyed. The associa-
ton hall, previously built, served add
vantageously as temporary church,
and was promptly fitted up for service
the Sunday following the fire.
The corner stone for the new cath
edral was laid on July Is, 1894, and
the cathedral was dedicated, with
beautiful and impressive ceremonies,
July 26, 1896. During the summer OF
1908, Catholic association hall was re.
moved and replaced by the hall OF
the new cathedral school.
The Catholic church has several
very fine buildings in Duluth, but one
of the finest structures at the Head
of the Lakes is the Sacred Heart
cathedral. It is attractive architecture
ally, and is built of pressed brick
with a foundation of stone. The com
modious residence adjoining, for the
use Of the reverend fathers, is Of sim
liar material.

CA7HOL/C/7Y IN THE ZENITH CITY,"

A remarkable thing about Duluth is
the rapid growth of Catholicity here.
The city has developed at surpris-
ing rate, and the Catholic Church
has kept pace with this development,
says the Duluth Herald.
In 1870 there were only about two
dozen families of this denomination
in Duluth and they had no regular
place Of worship. Now the number
of Catholic families here runs into the
thousands and 100000 will just about
. cover the cost of property belonging
to this church in the Zenith City.
In the early days the French mis-.
sionaries among the Indians held serv-
ices in Duluth for the Catholic set
tiers. In 1886 people of this religion
attended services held under the di.
rection of visiting priest, and in
1870 Father Chebul of Superior began
making regular visits here for the
purpose Of conducting services. The
same year movement was started
to build chapel.
The movement was crowned with
success and frame structure, the
first Catholic church in Duluth, was
erected on the site of the present ca
thedral. Rev. Father John Chebul
missionary priest of Austrian birth
was then ministering to the spiritua
wants of the Catholics at the head Of
the Lakes, visiting Duluth, Bayfield,
La Pointe, Superior, and all the In
dian reservations along the shores o.
the lake. He made his headquarters
at Superior. He was obliged to trav
erse great distances on foot, in winter
and summer alike, and must hav.
suffered many hardships.
In January, 1871, Father Chebul wa'
succeeded by Father G. Keller, Ger
man priest, who remained nearl!

sewer system. Suppose we do
put it in; at the end of thirty
years we'd be just where we
started and the system would
have to be torn up and another

A PROCLAMATION
BY the Acting Governor of Arizona

BY the Acting Governor Of Arizona
Recommending the 10Th day of
February, 1910, be observed
as a holiday in commemoration
of the one hundred and first
birthday of Abraham Lincoln.
1t is observed, the last legisla-
tive assembly of the territory of
Arizona, by an act approved Jan
uary %, 1909, declared and es
tabliShed Saturday, the 10Th day
of February, 1909, to be a legal
holiday in conmemoration of the
one hundrtdth anniversary Of the
birth OF Abraham Lincoln. II
further appears there was an in
tent to establish the 10Th day of
February rs a permanent legal
holiday in commemoration of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln, but
by some means, uneXplainable,
such legislative action was not
completed.
Diligent study and careful de-
due ion establishes the fact that
Abraham Lincoln, as an Ameri
can citizen and the embodiment
of that something, which is un-
de6nable, within himself, more
nearly approached that kind and
class OF government as intended
bv the constitution oftl.e United
States than any statute which
has ever been written, from the
constitution as a basis, or any
chief executive who has ever been
entrusted with that high honor
of administering the law, as ex-
pressed and uneXpressed, yet in
tended by the constitution.
Abraham Lincoln not only stood
but the memory of his Life and
: examplew1ll always stand among
the foremost in that which should
comprise the ideal American citi-
zen. He met the tremendous de
: mands of the hour with grace,
, good will and charity, and a
f simplicity, yet grandeur, few can
appreciate and none explain.
, 1t should be the pleasurable
duty of every loyal citizen on one
day in the year to give at least a
few thoughts and devote time
| for at least a little study as to
whom this great patriot was
The 10Th day of February, 1910,
will be the one hundred and first
anniversary of his birth and on
that day millions of Americans
will gather throughout this great
nation in cOmmemoration of his
memory.
THEREFORE,. I, GEORE U
YOUNG, Acting Governor OF Ari-
zora, by virtue of the liberty and
power allowed me do hereby re-
commend Saturday, the 10Th
day OF February, 1910, be obser-
we'd as a holiday, and that, in &C
cord with the higher responsible
ties of every American citizen, all
business, public and private, be
suspended on that day, and the
day devoted to those things APP
proprlate to cherish the memory
of Abraham Lincoln.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF. l
have hereunto set my hand and
caused the great seal of the terri
tory of Arizona to be affixed.
Done at the city of Phoenix the

ten.

Since the recent election on the
sewer bond question movement
has been on foot by a number of
local people interested in the re-
suit, the purpose of which is to
test the validity of the acts OF
the common council which pre-
ceded and followed the election.
About three weeks ago a plan
of action having been outlined
Attorney Alexander of Phoenix
was brought here and spent the
day in examining the records OF
the council and making an inves-
tigation OF everything bearing on
the situatian as related to the
sewer bond ordinance and the
letting of the construction work,
A letter received from the at
torney during the past week ad-
vises his clients here that he has
discovered two instances at least
in which the council failed to con-
form with legal requirements,
which points would probably
constitute sufficient grounds for
invalidating the entire proceed
ings.
One of his contentious is that
Alderman Alex Robertson is not
legally an alderman, since he is
serving by appointment instead
of by election as required by law.
If Alderman Robertson pres
ence at any time was necessary
to constitute a quorum, or if his
vote was necessary to constitute
a majority, it is believed that acts
of the common council under such
circumstances would be invalid,
The other contention is the
attorneys claim that proposals
for bids on the construction of
the work should have been ad
vertised before letting the con-
tract.
1t is understood that Mr.. Alex
ander Will be instructed to bring
the case to trial and a subscrip-
tion list is being circulated to Sc
sure the funds necessary to defray
the cost of legal services.
From those who have been in
terviewed thus far on the present
aspect of the situation the fol
lowing statements have been Sc
cured:
Alderman Fred La Prade-"Yes,
I'm one that's fighting this thing
and l hope we'll win out l put
up money and I'm willing to put
up more if it's necessary to carry
it to a finish. Iopposed the sewer
proposition from the start and

only a part cf the town. Why
