An investigation which it is be-

country at large relates to the geo.
logy and lron-ore deposits of the
Guyana Range. Pending the pre-
paratlon of topographic base maps,
studies of the general geology of
this range will not be undertaken
until next year. 1t is expected
that two years or more will be de-
voted to the investigation of these
iron deposits. In the meantime,
all records of the results of drilling

compiled by Prof. Johnston for flu

New Shipping Record

Despite predictions that delay in
ore shipments, due to the dock
workers strike and double holidays,
would result in making the tonnage
figures for 1913 less than in 1912,
indications are that a new record
will be made by the ore carriers
operating from the 10 docks at the
head of the lakes docks.
In 1912, $4,000 tons were
shipped. Up to Sept. 1, 1918,
there was an increaee of 5000, 900
tons over figures for the same period
of the previous year. Vessel own
ers declare that it will be almost
impossible to lose this big lead in
the last three months of the season,
regardless of slower dispatches at

Began Sunday

Sunday the sun was supposed to
pass the equator on its way south.
1t was the beginning of the fall
equinox when the day and the
night are supposed to be of equal
length. As a matter of fact there
were supposed to be twelve hours
and fourteen minutes of sunlight
in this section and not for five days
longer will the duration of sunlight
be just twelve hours. ..
The days will continue to shorten
and the nights grow longer until
Dec. FL. The fall equinox is
generally accompanied by storms,
and in this respect it lived up to
its reputation this year, with a
brisk gale and exceptionally cold
weather.

MANY BARRED
Entrance to State u" Made More
Difficult

Many students who went to the
University of Minnesota this fall
with bright visions of collegiate
career with all its joys of football i,
contests, social hops and the neces-
sary grinding have been sent back
home disappointed.
Between $50 and 200 high school
graduates who applied for admission
to the University were rejected be-
cause OF poor record in preparatory
work.
The present requirement for adj
mission to the freshman class is an
average grade of 80 per cent in all
the work done in a four-year high
school course.
While I have not always been
fully convinced of the justice of this
rule, which has been made by the
University senate, last years results
IN the Freshman class have largely
indicated its harshness, said E. B.
Pierce, registrar.
Practically all of the students
who were admitted last year with
unsatisfactory records proved to be
poor students in their college work.
Many of them were dropped at the
end of the first six weeks, and
others who struggled through the
year are now refused admission be-
cause of their unsatisfactory ap-
plication.''
Students who are unable to get
their names on the university rolls
this year have two courses open to
them, and are not without hope, ex-
planned the registrar. They have
the choice of going elsewhere to
college for the first year or of tax
ing the state high school board ex-
animation.
Certificates of credit from the
state board are accepted as entrance
caedit by the university administra-
ton, even though the student had
only passing grades in his high
school work.

home of a daughter, Mrs. Eva
Henry at Hibbing.

Later a telegram was sent to r.
D. McKercher, agent of the Du-
luth Humane society, to meet the
old woman on certain train which
arrived from the range, and to see
that she was sent to the poor farm
Mrs. Housley has five daughters
and one son. One of the daughters
lives in England. The others live
in St. Louis county. Interested in
the welfare of the mother, Mr.. Nc
Kercher went to- Carson Lake
several days ago to see the son.
He agreed to take his mother back
if the county would send woman
attendant to care for her. This
was agreed to and Mrs. Housley
was taken back to her son S home.
Because the attendant did not &C
company her, the irate son had her
sent back to Duluth. County Of
fcials have offered to pay some
one $40 month to look after the
woman if her son would take her,
but he has refused to do so. The
daughters seek to relieve themselves
of any responsibility by declaring
their husbands will not have the
aged woman in their homes. In
the meantime Mrs. Housley, too
infrm to realize that her own
children have turned away from
her, is being provided with the
necessaries of life at the county
institution until other provision is
made.
The county farm is established
only for those who are financially
unable to provide for themselves
and for those who by reason of i'll
ress or infrmity are unable to earn
a living. Whether children can be
compelled to care for their mother
without the necessity of a civil
action at law has been referred to
the county attorney for an opinion.
Several weeks ago the old
woman was brought to Duluth by
one of her children to be examined
as to her mental condition, but
Probate Judge Gilpin refused to
commit her to the Fergus Falls
state hospital.

FIRE LOSSES IN JUNE.

Fire statistics for April. May and
June show an increase over those
months in 1912, and general careless
ness on the part of property owners
and public is ascribed as the chief rea.
sen therefor. At least, preventive
measures do not appear to have been
effective. The total loss for June in
the United States aggregates s2l.9i2,
700, as compared with s16,1o3.450 in
June, 1912.
A better showing is made in the TO
tai fire losses for the first SIX months
of the present year They were Sis
245,650. as against s134,3T2,450 In cor
responding period of the preceding
year. In June of the presnet year there
were 3s5 fires which aggregated loss
exceeding $4,000 each.
The fire losses in any Europ, ar
country are about half this number. =
