$50, 1000, ,OOO VALUE OF
 RAW FUR COLLECTION

A. B. Shubert, Inc, Chicago, U s. A, the largest house ill the world dealing exclusively in American raw furs, in a letter to the editor says in part as follows:
 Fifty million dollars worth of Clw furs. Quite a large sum of money, when you come to thing of it. That was last years production of the raw furs of the world, and Ameri- can raw furs make up about Jwo- thirds of the worlds collection. Can you imagine fifty million dollars cha ging hands for American raw Iurs last season? Yet such is the casa as near $ can be estimated from the account books of the larg- ts- collectors. The merry old world still goes around and the coming of winter brings on olo more raw fur season. It is one of the oldest jn- dustries known to man, dating back eves lefore the tim3 of Christ, aud in smte of he fact that millions of fur-bearing animals are killed Ct every -eaI i. spite ,f the fact ta7I rigid game laws a.7 enacted to pro tect the r.; bearers, the game IS far from being extinct and when the collections are smaller the price goes up accordingly. It is won derful the part that furs have play ed n the r'stOry of man. They have caused wars, led to the eXplo- ration of new lands and changed the maps of natioas but mOrs wonderful still are the varied fluctuations in the market. I is the greatest spec ulative game in the world. When the raw fur market is at it's highest pitch, Wall street fades away to n thing alongside Ot it, and so it is with the steel trust and the to- bacco trust and the rest of our larg- est industries. Before people knew what steel or tobacco was, they were skinning animals for their fur and still the game has not died out, in fact, this season promises more activity than ever in the fur bGsi- ness.
 Furs are an absolute necessity as t " form the protective clothing of those whose occupation brings them in contact with the elements of win ter. Furthermore, furs are extreme ly fashionable. Milady's wardrobe is not complete without at least one set of furs.
 Fur trimmings are more pOpu- lar than ever and most of the outer garments for fall and winter have

NOUR KIDNEYS.
Alaskan Residents Must Learn The Importance of Keeping Them
 Well

Well.
 Perfect health means that every organ of the body is performing it's functions properly.
 Perfect health cannot be enjoyed if the kidneys are weak and dis ordered.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO
HAVE BIG Ih||IAIluh HERE

Delegates from Duluth, Superior,
Brainerd, international Falls, Win
nipeg, Hibbing, Eyeleth, Chisholm,
Gilbert and the Twin Cities will at
tend the big initiation to be held by
the Knights of Columbus here on
January 26th. More than half a
hundred new members will be taken
into the order on that day and the
initiation will occupy the whole of
the Sunday commencing at $3.50 in
the morning, and winding up with
an elaborate banquet in the evening
which will be attended by many not
able men of this district. Among
the speakers at the banquet will be
James,P. Boyle, Of EytletL, who will
come up from the legislature es-
pecially to be present on the oc-
casion, and Judge Martin Hughes of
the district court, R. M. Hughes,
late secretary to Congressman Mil
Ter, and many other we'll known
men from the head of the lakes, the
Twin Cities, and Range points. Ed
ward L. oByle, assistant county at
torney for this county, will act as
toastmaster. A splendid musical
program will be provided by one of
the leading orchestras, and the pro-
ceedings which will occupy the en-
tire day will be held in the Lyric
Hall in Virginia. The Virginia
Council of the knights of Columbus
was instituted June 2 last year when

MINNESOTA MARRIAGE RECORDS
ARE CUMBERSOME AND VALUELESS

ter is to be filled in by the person
who performs the ceremony and it is
intended, shall be returned to the
clerks office for filing within 80
days. But as stated, it is often not
returned and in such case it Is not
recorded that the parties were ever
married. 1t is contended by those
who have delved into the question
of the Minnesota marriage records
as they are, and made comparisons
with the statistics that are kept by
other states that for he purposes of
the future and for information that
would be of any benefit whatever in
establishing an identity or tracing a
family connection, that the Mime
sofa records give no information.
The records are elaborate in the
way of blank forms and massive
bound books but they are almost en-
tirely devoid of any information.
Other. vital statistics required to
be kept by the laws of the state are
very complete and thorough. These
comprise the deaths and births. In
regard to the consanguinity restric-
tions as to marriage the law reads
that there shall be no marriage be-
tween parties who are nearer of kin
that second cousins, whether of the
half or whole blood, computed by
the rules of the civil law.

COATES MAKES INvESTIGA-

A. B. Coates, mining man Of Vir-

been looking into the possibilities OF
the Guyana Range. A report from

Some one has made the discovery
that the Minnesota marriage records
are of no value or Of So little value
that they might almost as well not
be kept. Summarized, it is contend
ed that the sum total of all the in
formation that can be obtained from
any particular marriage record is
that Mr.. So and So of Such and Such
a county obtained a license to we'd
Miss So and So OF Such a county.
The man obtaining the license as
serts that he has attained the age OF
II and speaking for the girl, who in
30 per cent of cases is not present,
he states she has attained the age OF
l8. It is recorded that the license
was obtained and he goes away. In
many instances it is never placed on
record that the parties were mar
RED. The clergyman or civil officer
who performs the marriage is sup
posed to make a return for entry
showing the day and date of the
marriage but for the reason that the
clergyman or officer is required to
pay a fee for doing this, it is some
times overlooked. In many instances
no one other than the contracting
parties and the clergyman or civil
officer knows of the marriage. There
is no record anywhere of the specific
age of the parties. They may be 21

the four score years and ten. Parent
age and nationality are not indicated
as they are in many states. The
nearest the record comes to giving
the place of residence of either party
is the county in which they live.
It is stated after ''his'' and ''her''
names are given, that they are not
connected by the ties of consanguin-
ity, that neither has husband or
wife living, that neither has been
divorced in any court within six
months prior to the date of the is
suance of the license and that neith-
er is afflicted with inbecility, feeble
mindedness, epilepsy or insanity and
that no legal impediment exists to
said contemplated marriage.
When the marriage license clerk
has filed in the prescribed form and
the person desiring the license has
signed his name the clerk issues a
