DULUTH MUCH INTERESTED.
Looking Eagerly Forward to Visit of
Portage Lake Team.


Concerning the visit OF the Portage
Lake hockey team to Duluth, the Du-
luth Herald says:
Friday and Saturday evenings of the
present week the strong Portage Lake

I est players of Houghton, Hancock, Mo-
hawk and Laurium, will meet the Du-
luth Curling club hockey team i'm con-
tests that should be the best exhibit
tions Of the game given in this city
since the days of the old hockey stars.
Reports from the copper country
state that the aggregation that will
play here Friday and Saturday is the
best team organized since the days Of
the old international league. If this
is true, the Copper country will send
to Duluth one Of the fastest hockey
teams ever organized.
Joe Linder, captain Of the Portage
Lake team, was a kid player in the
bright days Of DOC" Gibson, Hold
Stuart, Bruce Stuart and the other
stars Of the old International league.
Then, as a high school boy. he was
considered one Of the best amateur
players i'm the country. He has had
offers from about every team i'm the
country but has chosen the copper
country as the field of his activities
other members Of the Portage Lake
seven are the very best players of all
the vicinity of Houghton. Mohawk and
Hancock. These boys have been play

MAGNETIZED TIME PIECES.

A Munising ieweler who has repaired
hundreds if not thousands of watches
is wholly at loss to account for the
remarkably large number of magnet
lied time pieces brought to him lat
terly. No less than dozen magnet
lied watches have gone to the repair
bench the past fortnight. The extra
ordinary circumstances about the
whole experience is that they had not
been working around dynamos and
are unable to account for the condi-

The legislature will, during this
week, receive a petition from L.
G. Couture asking that he be re-

money he expended out of his own
pocket when he represented Nevada

incurred bills for the exhibit which
he was compelled to pay out Of his

A bill was introduced many years
ago, but during the excitement of

Couture will, at last, receive the
money that he has waited so pa
tiently for ever since the EXPOSE

Fish Commissioner Mills has re-
ceived some pleasing news regard
ing fish culture and classification.
For many years attempts have
been made to secure the assistance
of the government to help in the
classification and investigation of
the native fish of the waters in the
lakes and rivers in this state
The trouble has always been that
the investigators always ask that
Nevada assist in the expense ac-
count, and as the fund was always
short the way could not be found
to spare the expense.
Mr.. Mills has been in correspond
ence with the officials at the heads
of the departments and has recently
been informed that Prof. ]. A. Sny-
der will be placed in charge of an
expedition and will make the in
yestigation and classification that
has. been asked.
The work will be taken up as
soon as possible, and be thoroughly
handled, as only such an authority
can.
Mr.. Mills is asking that when the
expedition reaches Nevada that ev-
cry assistance possible be shown the
members. They wish to make a
thorough classification and this can
only be brought about by the as
sistance of the people who know
the water conditions and roads
throughout the state. The expedi-
ton will probably visit every sec
ton in the state where fish are
known to exist.

they absorbed the delicacy with
much gusto and paid the price, says
Editor Nugent.
The inspiration was furnished the
Oriental by a poker game. The
native visited the hop joint, bur
dened with jag, and more money
than discretion. John Chinaman
and Poor Lo engaged in the great
American game of poker and be-
fore sunrise the simoleons belonged
to the heather and the redskin
possessed only a bad head and
added experience.
Finally, through the befuddled
wits of the Indian came the knowl-
edge that he had been jobbed, and
with it desire for revenge. Hav-
ing no firearms, he grabbed a big
iron poker and proceeded to start
a hurdle over tables and chairs
and with the queue bearer about
two hurdles ahead But the gap
shortened, the pursuer was nearing
the pursued, the fire-stirring inn
plement had jolted the ribs of the
Chink and something had to be
done or there would be strange
face in Chinese hell, without adj

Above the door of the emporium
hung sword, the former property
of an imperial ancestor. This the
child of mandarin laid hold of

There has been big Stir among the
county clerks and sheritfs of West vir-
ginia in regard to the volurii pots and in.
tricate books which the State Tax Com
missioner requires theth to keep. aud to
which they seriously object A mandainus
against Sheriff 5. +, Smith, Of Kanaw-
ha. and County Clerk w. Guy Tedrick.
of Harrison county, to compel them to
use these books, has been asked for, and
. test case will be made. We elected an
interview from our efficient and accom-
indicating County Clerk, Mr.. Chas. A.
Johnson. upon this subject. and he says:
When last saw the State Tax Com
missioner in Martinsburg several months
ago. and after looking over the mass Of
advance sheets, (connterparts OF the new
books the Sheriffs. County Clerks snd
Boards of Education arerequired to keep
under the Uniform System of Account
| ing Law.) | told him he could depend
on me to do the best | could with them ;
in other words. am going TO make an
effort to conform TO the system; but |
said then, and / say now, that the idea
of a uniform system for the counties IS
impracticab,e, if not impossible. The
sets of books and accounts in use by large
firms or corporations are never identical,
but rather differ widely. Of course do
not expect to eliminate. or do away with
the system IN use in my office prior to
the receipt of these rev books. Why
Because every county official is familiar
with it, and in my opinion miserable
substitute is offered in its stead. The
costfof these new books, the expense and
labor of keeping them, and the apparent
fallacy of a uniform system throughout
the State is what so many of the Sheriffs
and Clerks are objectingto. Few Clerks
and fewer Sheriffs are expert account
ants and this, too, has much to do with
the disnclination on the part of county
officials to undertake the system. The
work undertaken and carried out with a
new system two years ago proved a
fiasco. and resulted in a useless cost to this
county alone of about $3.50 The
Court then put itself on record opposing
any further, apparently useless, expendi-
ture of the taxpayers money. This is a
good opportunity for ME to say that the
Sherff's books in my Office are kept
posted up to date, and | welcome an in
spection of them by anybody at any
time. "
