PetrOff Found Guilty

Seman Petroff who on July 4th
shot and killed L. S. Mcdonald
while riding in an automobile near
the Savoy location, was found
guilty of manslaughter in the
second degree in district court at
Virginia Tuesday. He will be sem
fenced by Judge Hughes later.
The jury took the case at 2 o'clock
and at 4 o'clock returned verdict
of guilty as charged. Attorney
Geo. Shea of Virginia defended
Petroff and at once asked for
stay of sentence for 80 days to
move for a new trial on the grounds
that the conviction is not in &C.
cordance with the evidence.
Petroff claimed the shooting was
accidental but the state maintained
that it was due to negligence in
handling the revolver. The motion
for a new trial will be argued be-
fore Judge Hughes in case he
grants the stay.

The New Railroad

Latest news is to the effect that
construction on the Grand Marais
& Northwestern Railway is pro-
crossing favorably and that the
company is receiving much atten-
ton from investors that know a
good thing when they see it. The
road starts from Grand Marais,
Mimi, and runs west to where it
lntersects with the Duluth &
Northern Minnesota Ry., a dis
lance of little over 20 miles. The
road will run to Ely, Is miles. 1t
is we'll known by land owners,
mining men and the general public
that this new country is we'll sup
piled with mineral, timber and
agricultural resources which have
long been waiting for rolling facili-
ties to carry them to market, and
one that can be had to operate the
year around, which the silent life
OF Cook county is about to expert
ence. Extensive timber holdings
exist in Cook county, and a divi-
sion of the state that is just at this
time getting a railroad to handle
this heavy traffic.
The company plans ON having
electric-gasoline driven cars for
traffic power. The cars will be
capable of carrying 100 persons,
mail and baggage and have speed
of so miles per hour. Arrange
ment will likely be made to have
this train run into 1uluth over the
Duluth & Northern Minnesota
Ry., and the Duluth & Iron Range
Ry., thus giving northeastern
Minnesota the first rail connection
to Grand Marais. -Skilling's News

The Liability Act

The workmen S compensation act
is intended to cover personal in
juries sustained in sudden and
violent manner, according to
decision handed down in district
court by Judge Bert Fesler.
The decision was in the case of
Joe Tuden against the Colvin-
Robb Lumber company. He was
employed as road monkey last
winter and he followed a sprinkl-
ing wagon which was used in
making an ice road. Jan. 20 the
thermometer ranged from 80 dogs.
above zero to Is dogs. below. From
the exposure Tuden was badly
frozen and the sight of one eye
nearly destroyed, for which he de-
manded compensation under the
liability law.
Judge Fesler ruled that as Tud-
ems injury was not of sudden
or violent nature he does not come
within the terms of the compensa-
ton act. 1t is believed that this
is the first time that this phase of
the new statute has been interpreted
IN the courts. The case was dis
missed without costs to either
party.

The forest service officials have
formulated several good rules for
the prevention of forest fires.
They have issued neat cards giving
the hunting seasons for the various
game birds, animals and fish and
on the back have embodied the
request for every good citizen to
help in preventing forest fires by
observing the following rules:
Be sure your match is out before
you throw it away.
Knock out your pipe ashes or
throw your cigar or cigarette stump
where there is nothing to catch
fire.
Don't build camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary.
Never leave it even,.for a short
time without putting it out with
water or dirt.
Don't build camp fire against
tree or a log. Build small one
where you can scrape away the
needles, leaves or grass from all
sides of it.
Don't build bon6res, The wind
may come up at any time and start
a fire you cannot control.
If you discover a fire put it out
if possible; if you can t get word of
it to the nearest u. S. Forest
Ranger or State Fire Warden just
as quickly as you possibly can.
As health precaution always
leave your camp site in neat and
sanitary condition.

AUGUST BAD
Worst Month Ever Experienced in
Ore Shipments

Shipments from couple of ore
docks are still lacking, but returns
from the others indicate that the
August movement will not be g.
100000 tons, as was expected
says the Cleveland Iron Trade
Review. 1t will not be much if
any greater than the July move
ment, which was 5,784,514 tons.
Practically all of this ore has been
moved in shippers vessels and dis
patch has been very rapid. A few
ore sales continue to be made, but
not enough to have any stimulating
influence. Vessel men are all
agreed that August was the worst
month that they have ever expert
enced and scores of ships had to go
to dock. No improvement is ex
pected in this trade during the re-
mainder of the year and the proba-
bility is that the ore movement
will close earlier than usual.
Occasional cargoes of trans
Atlantic iron ore continue to arrive
at Philadelphia. Two cargoes
from Spain and one from Sweden
came in during the past week.
These shipments represent
deliveries against old sales, as there
is no buying of foreign ore by east
ern furnaces at the present time.
Following a period of consider
able excitement in finished mate
rails, owing to the European war,
the iron trade is coming to reali-
cation that any benefits that may
result from the war will come slow
ly and probably for many months
domestic demand must be depended
upon almost exclusively. Although
inquiries from abroad are pending
in increasing numbers, very few of
them have developed into orders
and demand for consumption in the
United States is decreasing.
Hence the present sentiment in
the market is not as optimistic as it
had been during the preceding two
weeks, but confidence that in time
there will be tremendous expan-
sion of business remains mistaken.

Nett Lake Lands

Many range people have gone to
Orr where they go to look over
lands in the Nett Lake reservation
which has been opened for home
stead entry. The tracts available
being only a short distance from
Orr and among them are still to be
had with excellent stands of pine.
The greater part of the country,
however, is wooded with small
timber, while there are some ex-
cellent meadow lands as well.
The acreage is not large, compari-
tivelv speaking, and all the claims
worth having promise to be filed
on in a very short time.

ton for assistant forest ranger on
October 10 and 20. The examina-
tion will be held in Michigan, at
East Tawas; and in Minnesota, at
Cass Lake, and Ely.
Candidates must be able-bodied
men between the ages of Fl and
40, capable of enduring all the
hardships of outdoor life. The
examination consists of two parts:
Cd the answering of practical
questions relating to land survey
ing, timber estimating and lumber
ing. land laws, mining, and the
livestock business; and CD a field
test including riding and packing.
Practical experience rather than
book learning is the first require
ment. Ability to make maps and
write intelligibly, however, are
necessary qualifications. Appli-
cants must also be residents of the
state in which they seek employ
ment, and should be familiar with
local industrial conditions and topo-
graphy.
Assistant forest rangers are ap-
pointed at yearly salary of $11OO.
and are eligible to promotion to
higher grades, including vacancies
in the position of deputy supervisor
and supervisor. When permanent
ly assigned to a national forest,
rangers are provided with head
quarters consisting of cabins,
barns. and sheds, and some agri-
cultural land on which to raise food
for their families and domestic
animals.
The duties of the forest rangers
consist in transacting the business
of the national forests under the
supervision of the supervisor.
They protect and control their dis
tricts, enforce the national forest
laws and regulations, build roads,
trails. telephone lines, and cabins,
fight forest fires, estimate timber
and make small sales, handle the
grazing business and must be able
to deal tactfully with all classes of
people having business relations
with the forests. When necessary
the ranger must own and maintain
his own saddle and pack animals.
Applicants can secure infOrma
ton concerning the examination
from the United States Civil ser
vice commission at Washington,
d. c., from the district forester at
Denver, Colorado, or from any of
the supervisors with headquarters
at the points previously mentioned.
