ALLEN PLEASED
With SUGGESTION
STATE GEoLoGlST WOULD HAVE
WORK OF MINERAL STATS
TTciAN INCLUDED IN
HIS DEPT.

state Goologlst Allen is extremely
pleased over the recommendation OF
Gov. Osborn that the department OF
mineral statistics be abolished and
made either a part of the geological
survey or Of the college of mines. He
is deslrous of having the statistical
department made a portion of his Of
fee.
For several months mining men
have recommended that the geologi-
cal survey take charge of the work
and have also made requests of that
nature To the governor. The following
statement is authorized by the geo
logist.
"This department is ready TO take
up the work. We have already made
a beginning and we are cooperating
with the United States geological sur
vey in the collection Of mineral sta
tistics of Michigan, the work now
being performed ana results will be
issued as fast as they come i'm. The
geologist has been addressed on the
subject by many of the mining men
of the state particularly those en-
gagged i'm the iron mining industry.
Mining Men Favor Move.
"The mining men are anxious to
have a report bearing on statistics
of mineral production appear prompt
ly at the end of each year and that
it should give complete statistics for
all branches of mining and allied in
dustries including metallic and nom
metallic products. Third, it should be
accompanied by sketches showing,
mines. location of mining quarries,
etc Fourth and most important Of
all. IL should in order to have maxi
mum value, be a general resume of
mining conditions i'm the state with
special reference to new explorations
the extension Of mineral producing
areas and the discovery of new ones.
To Aid Legislation.
at is urged that If the geologist
were to be charged with this report
it would result in putting the produce
ers i'm closer touch with the survey
than they now are and would make
wider diffusion Of information among
mining interests and industrial con-
Germs using Michigan mineral prod
ucts These reports should embody
valuable Information which would be
in such form as to be readily avail
able for use Of the legislature i'm for
any possible future laws ef-
focting the mineral Industries. II is
believed that the department of geo
logical survey is well equipped to ham
die this work by reason of the large
amount OF Information possessed con-
cerning the geological and mineral re-
sources of the state; because of it's
isolation from partisan politics and al
SO because this work should be done
by men who are specially trained in
the science of economic geology. Fur
thermore the survey is engaged all
year in the study of geological and
mineral resources OF the state and in
this it is necessary to conduct field
operations. Many parts of the state
are annually visited while special
areas are annually selected for detail
ed mapping ana investigation"

DULUTH firm
Offers TROPHY
HOCKEY CUP WILL BE COMPETED
FOR BY TEAMS IN LAKE
SUPERIOR DIS
TRlcT.

on behalf of the Manley- -McLennan
firm, l.. b. Manley and James McLen-
nan have offered TO donate hand
some loving cup or trophy to be con-
tested for annually by the hockey
teams in this section of the country
and il is expected that within few
days all the details regarding the rules
under which the trophy shall be con-
tested for, will be settled and the Of
fer accepted by the hockey players
says the Duluth Herald.
It is the intention OF the members Of
the firm TO present a handsome cup
of beautiful design, something that
any club will be glad 10 hold, and to
have this emblem contested for an
nually by the teams of a certain ter
ritory. Yesterday Mr.. ManleY sug-
gested that all the teams in the ter
ritory touching on Lake superior be
eligible to play for the cup.
1t is believed that next season will
see a league made up Of Duluth, the
Twin Cities Houghton, Calumet and
possibly Fort William. These towns
are all within easy travelling distance
and would make up a fairly compact
league. The cup would be open 10
competition to all these teams, and
would be played for as the Stanley cup
is contested for on the other side of
the boundary line.
Duluth Herald's Comment.
In speaking of the Houghton, or
Portage Lake team, the Duluth Herald
says:
The Houghton team is all that it
was reputed to be. Joe Linder is re-
doubtable leader He isn't very long
on weight. but he makes up for lack TT
weight i'm strength of spirit and ag-
gressiveness and his rushes down the
ice were features OF the game He is
not a fraceful skater but he moves
along swiftly his stick handling is
wonderful and he can squeeze through
narrow spaces in a way all his own.
Mahan stuck 10 defense play almost
exclusively and was strong i'm prevent
ing shots for goal. Largely ON account
of the good defense play i'm front of
him and the tendency of the Copper
country players to keep the puck i'm
Duluth territory by diftiug Haug had
little TO do. He did stop several wick
ed shots from the Duluth forward lime,
however, and there is no doubt hut
that the Houghton net is well guarded.
Speed and stick handling ability are
assets OF the Houghton forward line.
Sicotte is a streak ON skates. He was
all over the ice i'm his capacity as row
er breaking up dangerous combina-
tions and helping the center and wing
men I'm their checking Stroud at center
is a clever stick-handler and "a willing
combination player. Waara and EXlcy
are fast skaters and hard shots
Waara's shooting being especially
good. He scored four of the seven
goals and gave Fcntou the bulk of his F..
work. ENley scored two goals and was I.
always after the puck.
The Houghton forwards are al close .

during the play. watching his oppou- /

To Scholastic Census
Trustees.


Knowing that the census srustees
would save themselves great deal of
work by having the old census forms,
| have sent them out with the new ones.
All of the old forms must be returned
to me with the new ones, for [ must
keep them in the Office for three years.
After taking the scholastic census
on family form X, the census trustee
should arrange these in alphabetical
order according to the family names ;
that is, all of the names with "a"
should come first, then the CPS, >"
"C's," DIS etc. When this has
been done, the names are copied on
form 'E' this way. Suppose you have
on the family forms John Andersen,
James Brown and William Donley.
You write on your form "E" Auder-
son, J ohm Brown, JasSSsS. ponley, Will
tam etc, keeping all Of the family
names in alphabetical order call
especial attention to this since see,
in looking over some old reports, that
some of the enumsratCrs failed to do
this last year, and if the work is not
done right it causes good deal of
confusion later on.
The scholastic census takers have
until June lst to file their reports in
this Office, but l hope you will bring
in your returns as soon as you com
plete the work l must make my con
solidated Alphabetical report of all of
the sixty-two school districts in the
fcounty in June and must be ready by
July LIST in order that the children may
receive the apportionment for next
session, There is always great deal
of other work in the Office at this time
of the year and for that reason | shall
be glad for you to file your report as
soon as you can conveniently do so af-
tire finishing the work.
{ Every enumerator study carefully
the boundaries of his district and en-
roll every child of scholastic age in it.
Remember, too, every child must be
enumerated in the district in which
the parents live, and it is strictly
against the law to enumerate it any
where else.
All applications for transfers must
be made before August LIST. No par
emit should ask for q transfer unless
he has good and just reason for do
ing so, and in such case, the trus-
Ftees should endorse the application.
I make mention of this in this connec-
ton because some people are under
the impression that If they enroll their
children in the district in which they
live they are compelled to send to
Ischool there under any and all Cir
Ecumstances.
Any person who refuses to render q
child under his control in the scholas-
tic census, lays himself subject to a
fine of not less than five nor more than
ten dollars.
Hoping you will not overlook a
single child of scholastic age in the
county, I remain, with best wishes,
Yours Sincerely,
WILLIAM EILERS,
County Superintendent.

LABOR MEN OBJECT
TO GAS COMPANY'S
MERCANTILE WORK
Concern Violates Charter,
They Say, by Doing
Plumbing.

Investigation of alleged competition Of
the Washington Gas Light Company
with Washington mercantile concerns
was started this morning by a COM
mittee appointed from the Central La
Dor Union.
That the gas company has no au-
thority, under its corporate charter, to
engage in mercantile lines, is believed
by organized labor. 1t is said the COM
pany, in addition to selling stoves and
fixtures, does all kinds of plumbing
work In connection with the gas busi-
ness, installing pipes in buildings, con-
meets lighting fixtures. repairs stoves
and heaters and generally completes
with Washington plumbers and supply
men.
F. w. Koehlsr, of the plumbers local
union; John B. Colpoys, secretary of
Central Labor Union, and Emmett l..
Adams, legislative agent of the central
body, compose the committee that is
Investigating the gas company and they
will submit report to the union at its
next meeting.

WRIGHT SUSTA|NS
COLLISION CHARGE
IN SULLYS SUITS
Equity Action of Doremus
and Dubois Ordered
Thrown Out.

Sustaining the charge Of collusion in
the s1.5oO,0OO slander suit of Daniel J.
Sully, erstwhile cotton king" against
John Hays Hammond, and the equity
action Of Willard d. oDoremus and Ad-
Olson @. Dubois, against the National
Cotton Improvement Company for the
recovery of securities, Justice Daniel
Thew Wright today ordered the dismiss
sal of the latter suit.
Testimony has ben taken in the case
in the last two days, Mr.. Sully being
one Of the witnesses. He denied there
had been an understanding between
him and tn two plaintiffs on his part TO
embarrass Mr.. Hammond as special am
bassador to the coronation.
The alleged collusion, as pointd out
to Justice Wright by Attorney Philip
Walker, was indicated by the fact that
Attorney John C. Citing first appeared
as counsel against Mr.. Sully, and subse-
quently was his attorney in the slanier
suit.
Notice of an appeal on the decision of
Justice Wright to throw out the suit OF
Doremus and Dubois was filed.
