seventy-six mine-rescue stations at

determination Of Rats

Rats have become considerable
of a pest in the range towns. The
Mesaba range cities have for the
past year maintained a bounty for
the killing of the pesky rodents.
Ely, up to year ago, was appar-
emily not on the list of rat infested
towns. During the past year how
ever, they have become quite
numerous in some parts of the
city and all efforts are being put
forth to exterminate or keep them
down. The University Farm
Bulletin of recent date has some
valuable pointers for their exter-
mination as follows:
/. Scatter freshly slaked lime
in rat holes and along rat runways
2. Shoot an English Sparrow
and put it under board in a place
frequented by rats. If it is eaten
do the same thing a second time,
then put strychnine, with a small
knife. in the heart muscles of a
third sparrow and put this in the
same place.
3. I brow conn mon greer
coperas about rat holes and along
the runways.
4. Dust dry ca1omel on bee
scraps and leave these where rat:
are common. Chickens and cat:
should be kept away from such
poisoned scraps.
S. Dust dry concentrated ly.

Wolf B0unties

From wolf hides taken to the
Office of County Auditor Halden
Monday trappers realized a total of
$165. This was the largest amount
paid in one day for bounties in
more than a year. There were IL
hides on which the state and
county each paid $50. Trapping
and hunting wolves has become
more than a pastime since the
county commissioners decided last
month to restore the $3.50 bounty
It now is a remunerative occupa-
ton as each hide nets its possessor
SIS.
The county bounty was removed
more than year ago because it
was believed wolf hides were being
shipped in from adjoining counties.
The commissioners decided to re-
store the bounty after numerous
petitions had been presented, de-
claring the animals were commit
ting many depredations among
cattle, and were becoming so bold
that the lives of persons were
endangered. During January
total of $3.50 in wolf bounties was
paid by the auditor.
The creation of the enormous
game preserves in this section of
the state has furnished the finest
kinds of breeding places for the
wolf tribes.
Those in position to know are
of the opinion that trapping should
be allowed on the reserves, under
restricted conditions. Wolves
multiply rapidly and game laws
are of no consequence to them.
Deer and moose are the wolves
food supply and only a few years
at the present increase in wolves
will entirely devastate this country
of deer and moose.
The game preserves are a fine
thing for the propagation of game
but, naturally, are also fine
place for the unmolested propoga
ton of wolves.

asked to pass your judgement OF

asked to pass your judgement on
March 2.
We have always been of the
opinion that a semi-commission
form of government should prevail.
With this we mean, each alderman
should have a particular branch of
the city government under his
direct supervision and for which he
would be actually responsible in
the eyes of the people. We would
have him make his budget at the
beginning of the year subject to
the approval of the whole council
aud be made to adhere strictly to
the budget as approved. As there
is nothing in the new charter that
will prohibit this even if carried as
at present drafted, the suggestion
could later be put i'll force by the
city government provided it ap-
pealed to them.
The City Manager system has
also been considerably commented
on. By this plan it would be pos
sible to conduct the city affairs on
the same plan as the school dis
tricts of the state are conducted.
The board hires a competent man
| at good salary and he is to act as
superintendent over everything.
Even with the rules as laid down
in the new charter this is not an
lmpossibillty if it meets with the
approval af the Council.
AS it is yet too early to go into
elaborate details concerning various
provisions of the new charter, we
will not say more this week. The
majority have not as vet had time
to thoroughly acquaint themselves
with the. benefcient measures
therein and while they have proba-
bly, struck the paragraph that is
not to their liking, it might be well
to defer judgment on the whole
until the whole has been looked
over.
1t is Our intention to have more
to say on the subject during the
weeks before election. We would
also request all those who wish to
express their opinions in print to
use these columns. In fact we
invite the people to make use of
these columns literally. All we
want is an author for the matter
and those writing will please sign
their names to their contributions.
The charter as prepared by the
Commission furnishes an elegant
basis upon which to work and
superstructures could later be- erect
id thereon to suit the growing
needs. We need a new charter
and need it bad. Let's have fair
deal in the matter. Give your
own opinions fair play and pay
no attention to roorbacks. Look
them up. Do what you think is
right and you will be right.

Doing Excellent Work

The life savers of the United
States Bureau of Mines have, ac-
cording to the statement of DIR.
Joseph A. Holmes, the director,
rescued more than 100 entombed
miners from certain death. More
than this, he asserts in his annual
report that volunteer rescuers in
the employ of mining companies
and trained in rescue work by the
bureau have saved many other
men. As result of the example
set by the bureau, rescue and first
aid organizations have been estab-
lished at many mines and more
than l 200 sets of rescue apparatus
have been purchased by mine own
ers. These stations are expected
to save the lives of many men in
the future.
The bureau in the furtherance
of its work now maintains six
mine rescue stations, eight mine
rescue cars, and one rescue motor
truck, located in the mining dis
tricts of the country The cars
visit the various mining camps and
tIain the men in rescue work and
also in first aid to the injured.
This movement has reached the
point that whenever there is a
mine disaster it is now possible to
obtain a sufficient number of train
ed volunteers to take care of the
rescue in an orderly and systema-
tic manner and without the great
loss of life so frequently found
among the rescuers in the past.
Director Holmes declares that
there should be fifteen rescue cars,
instead of eight, to take care of
the needs of the million miners in
the United States. The work of
the states in carrying out their
part of this program in mine safety
is being carried forward in reason
ably satisfactory manner. says
DR.. Holmes. The states are
already spending in their inspec-
ton and ce-supervision work
more than the Federal Government
is spending in all of its investiga-
tons in behalf of mine safety.
Thus, for example, single state,
Pennsylvania, maintains a we'll
organized and efficient inspection
force at a cost of S213,OO each
year.
Many of the mine owners have
begun a system of operations in
which safety is considered of first
importance. More than ITO min

great majority Of cases hold their rank
with the best students from other
schools II ,{ xF
We purpose to- be little more ex'
plicit in our statements relative to
what the Chickasha high school offers
because there are many of our best
and busy citizens who have no clear
conception OF what this institution
gives TO the boys and girls of this
community We have just issued an
outline Of our course of study which
shows the plans of the work more
fully than we shall attempt to do in
this article. A copy of this course
may be secured on application to the
superintendent
1t has been our design to plan the
subjects for required study in such
way that all pupils may get a good
basic course in the fundamental
branches of an academic education.
The academic course offers four years
in English. four years in Latin, three
years in mathematics, four years in
science and four years in history
From these j pupil may select sub
jects for his sixteen units required
for graduation and must select at
least ten units.
With the every extensive work in
the academic subjects the pupil has
the opportunity to correlate the voca-
tional subjects according to taste ana
interest. The school offers TO boys
and Young men two years in mechani-
cal drawing and shop work. This is
| given under the direction Of a very
capable teacher The girls and young
ladies may take two years in domes-
tic art and domestic science under a
capable teacher who has organized
this work equal to the best The work
in these two departments win equal

in any other school in the state.
Pupils desiring subjects in the com
| mercial department may take all the
| branches given in the business col
/ leges, and at the same time have the
| advantages Of fhe thorough training

| pupils have taken bookkeeping, shos.,
