FREIGHT TO CHANGE TIME.
South Shore Lengthens Schedule 20
Minutes to Handle More Cars.

Supt. Smith of the Mineral Range
railroad, stated this morning that he
has received notice that the arrival of
the freight train into the copper coun-
try on and after February II, will be
just 20 minutes later than at present.
Tho train now reaches Hancock daily
at $3.50 p. m. The change in time Of
arrival is for the purpose of reducing
the rate of speed in the trip from Chi
cago and to- handle more cars.
The South Shore road will not make
any changes i'm it's passenger schedule,
IL is believed. The same schedule to
the Straits of Mackinac, including the
500, leaving here at 9:45 o'clock each
morning, and to Duluth and other
points leaving Calumet at 1915 o'clock
each night will be adhered to.
There is every likelihood, however,
that both the Northwestern an st. Paul
trains will arrive i'm Calumet one hour
later each day. and leave one hour
earlier, on and after February II.

GHOST FAILS TO
Walk LANSING
HOUSE AND SENATE EMPLOYEES
WITHOUT PAY-SPEAkER
BAKER STANDING
"PAT."

Lansing. Mich, Feb. 4-The ghost
was terribly missed by all the EN-
ployes of the legislature yesterday.
Even the senate employees were stung
through the action which started in
the house and today, although pay day
not an employe has received a dollar.
Speaker Baker of the house carried
and when IL was presented to him this
morning he calmly refused to sign up.
OF course this action meant no pay
for the house employees.
over in the senate Lieutenant Gov
ernor Ross signed the pay roll for
seven days pay for all the employees
ard they were jubilant until the
vouchers were presented to the audit
or general who refused to honor them.
AS the auditor general is under bond
he is naturally bound by the opinion
Of the attorney general on legal mat
matters until the supreme court has
said the attorney is wrong.
Talk of Ousting Seaker.
In the house storm is raised by
the action of Speaker Baker in refus-
to do so by the house itself. The op-
ponents of the speaker are declaring
loudly that he is In contempt Of the
house and should be punished by re-
moval from his seat. There are many
who declare they will vote to declare
the chair vacant but nobody is anxious
to take the initiative.
Meantime Baker smokes his pipe and
says: "They can do what they like
but | want TO say again will not sign
that pay roll until the supreme court
tells me To do so. Moreover ! have
not noticed any of the employees Of
the house or OF the senate quitting
their jobs because of the reduction in
their pay. AS matter Of fact don't
believe there are any employees of the
house who ever earned SO much mon
ev I'm a week before as they are earn
ing here now with one days pay cut
off. For instance tho proof readers
are getting Sc day That makes them
draw down $50 a week under the new
system. Now | don't believe one Of
them ever drew $40 before. so guess
they will manage to live for a while
yet If they can't they always have
the privilege of quitting because ! find
there are several hundred of persons
in Michigan who are anxious to take
their Jobs even at the reduced pay and
would doubtless accept them If we
cut IL still further"

DEMONSTRATIONS NEAR.
WESTMINSTER.

London, Feb. 4.-Everything is In
ment Monday In view of the stirring
national issues with which the speech
from the Throne is bound TO deal the
event is certain to attract extraordin-
ary attention. 1t is learned that the
greatest precautions are being taken
TO prevent any suffragette demonstra-
ton in the vicinity of Westminster on
the day of the opening.
There are few scenes more impos-

diamond crown and the bright ribbon
of the Order of the Garter add TO the
brilliant effects of her appearance.

NO EQUALIZATION BOARD.
Michigan Without One and LegisIa-s

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 4.-Michigan
has no state board of equalization. II
will be up TO the present Legislature
10 IN some manner provide for such a
body In order that taxes may be prop
erly and equally spread throughout
the state and upon all classes OF prop
ertX,
This discovery was made at ses-
sion held with the governor at which
the attorney general, the members of
the committees on taxation i'm both
houses some railroad attorneys and
other taxation sharps were present.
At this time II was discovered, or at
least announced. that under the new
constitution the board of equalization
had been Knocked out and some sort
of body to perform It's functions would
have to be created BY the present leg
slature.
At this session, too. the state tax
commission. which was represented,
argued strongly 10 the effect that the
ad valorem system OF taxation is all
right and should not be changed ex-
cept that II had not. up to date been
properly administered and that. now
the state tax commission should be
given a wider range of powers TO in
yestigate levy assessments.
A large number Of taxation que5-
tions were considered. the governor
expressing his views plainly on all
suhtects.

THE FUR SEAL QUESTION.
Houshton Man Receives Letter from,
Bureau Of Fisheries.

According to a communication which
a Houghton man has received from III.
NJ. Smith, acting commissioner of the
bureau of fisheries of the department
Of commerce and labor, there is a re-
mote possibility that fur-seals may be
introduced into Lake Superior, al
though he states that the department
has never given the matter any
thought hitherto.
From time to time articles have ap-
peared in the press Of the country sug-
gesting the stocking of Lake Superior
with fur seals. This Houghton man
made an inquiry which brought an ex-
planation. 1t appears that the bureau
of fisheries has now at Washington
pair of young fur-seals which were
brought down from the Priblof Is
lands in the fall of 1909 and have been
kept in captivity ever since These
are the first fur-seals that have ever
been successfully retained in captiv-
ity. They are kept in a large pool of
fresh water at the bureau, fed reg
ularly and properly and have grown
apparently quite as rapidly as they
would under natural conditions. The
experiment is interesting and gives
some encouragement TO the bureau to
believe in the possibility of introducing
the fur-seal into waters which 1T did
not previously occupy, but whether or
not the animal will thrive in Lake Su-
perior remains to be demonstrated ac-
cording to the information received
from Mr.. Smith.
There has been some interesting
talk of raising seals TO compete with
the fur prices demanded by the large
fur companies of Alaska, and it has
been suggested that the price Of seal
skin coat can be lowered TO a sum
within the means of the ordinary per-
son.

Will PROTECT
THE ANTELOPE
GOVERNMENT is PREPARING TO
SAVE LAST OF GREAT HERD
THAT ONCE sWARMEo
THE PLAINS.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Game Warden
Rush. of the Wichita Game Refuge in
the State of oklahoma, has informed
the Department of Agriculture of the
receipt in good condition of head of
antelope. which came from the Nation
al herd in the Yellowstone Park.
Through the generosity of members of
the Boone and Crockett Club Of New
York funds were furnished for cap
turing and transporting these animals
from Wyoming to Oklahoma. The
news of the arrival of the antelope at
their destination has been received
with satisfaction by the Department
officials, who are much interested in
the attempt to preserve this interest
ing game animal.
The pronghorned antelope is unlike
any other antelope on the face of the
earth. and has so many peculiarities
that naturalists class it in a family
by itself Formerly existing by thous-
ands on our open Western plains, II
has now been so reduced in numbers
that its absolute extinction is certain
i'm the very near future unless protec-
tion is given to the few remaining. 1t
does not do well east of the Mississippi
River, and can not be successfully bred
in captivity; but it thrives if allowed
to roam practically free within large
enclosures and under conditions close
" approaching the natural ones.
In 1908 the Biological Survey esti-
mated that the total number of ante
lope In the United States had been re-
duced TO 1900. OF these about 10000
were in Montana, Wyoming. and the
Yellowstone National Park, and the
remaining 1000 were distributed in ~
other states.
on the Wichita Game Refuge it is
hoped that the antelope will find them
selves i'm surroundings suited to their
increase. The Wichita is really a Ma
tional Forest. and Game Warden Rush
acts as its supervisor and attends to
all the business involved in its admin
istration. But on the Wichita, which
was set aside by Act of Congress at a
National Game Refuge because of its
especial suitability to act as a breeding
place for the wild creatures Of the
plains and lower Rocky Mountain re-
gions. the Importance of the game
work has overshadowed the ordinary
uses OF National Forest. There are
over $50 National Forests. but only
two National Game Refugees.

EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.
Report Shows Big Increase in 1910
Over Year 1909.

Dublin, Ireland, Feb. 4.-Last years
emigration returns show that 32,457
Irish people left their native land for
other countries during 1910 and that
three out of every four went to the
United States This shows an increase
OF nearly 1000 over the previous year,
and over 5000 of these emigrants
Travelled on prepaid-passage tickets.
An undue proportion of the emf
grants left from Ulster, the most pros
porous province in Ireland. This is
probably owing to the fact that there
are proportionately more agricultural
laborers and artisans in the north. for
il is from this class chiefly that emf
grants are recruited. AS land pur-
chase progresses. the Irish farmer will
gradually become more and more set
tied and contented. while on the other
hand the laborers and artisan, having
no interest in houses or lands. will en-
grate readily in search OF higher
wages. England and Scotland employ
thousands of Irish harvestmen. who
leave their own country annually to
work for farmers who appreciate them
and pay them well.
