No Chance for Substitution.

There is no chance of substitu-
ton in the filling of civil service
appointments, with the present
method of identification in use, ac-
cording to government officials.
A civil service appointee must
fill the position himself, and there
is no possible chance of slipping"
a friend in TO hold down the job.
When an appointment is made, the
Office where the appointee is to be
employed receives with the advance
notice of the appointment, photo
graph of the young man who has
been chosen to fill the position.
This eliminates any possible sub
stituting of friends.
The above regulation was prob
ably put into effect to do away with
substitution in taking civil service
examinations. The most notable
substitution in the history of the
country was in the case of the now
Mayor Curley of Boston. Mr.. Cur
ley took examination in the place
of another party, was caught at it
and served time in a federal prison
for doing so. While in prison he
was elected to congress and later
elected mayor of Boston, holding
that position at the present time.

RECORD ORE SHIPMENTS
More Than 65, 100000 Tons of Or,
Shipped from Lake Superior Dis
trict the Past Season.

/ he ore shipping season from the
Lake Superior district came to a
close the fore part of the week, the
shipping having been continued
later than usual. The reports show
that the hoped for record had been
reached and passed and that mos e
than 5000, 900 tons were sent
down the lakes to the lower ports.
This record is 10, 0OO, 900 tons bet
ter than any previous mark for the
season and p, 900 900 tons ahead
of the total shipments last year.
During the navigation season just
closed the total shipments were
65, 1873 ,648, and while the figure
from some of the ports are approx
innate it is not expected that the
final result will be materially chang
ed when the actual figures are re
ceived. Last year 43,78l 243 ton,
were shipped. The previous record
year was il 1913 when little short
of 50, 900, 600 tons were shipped.
The total shipments this year not
only beats all records but there are
some who are inclined to believe
that the record will never be equal
ed. Last year and the early part OF
this year predictions were made
that the shipments for 1916 would

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE.
Arrangements About Completed for
Hurley's First Community
Christmas Tree.

Arrangements have been under
way during the week for a COM
munity Christmas tree in Hurley.
A public-spirited citizen became in
terested in the matter and through
her efforts enough enthusiasm seems
to have been stirred up to make an
affair of the kind a success. Sub
scriptions have been solicited and
enough money subscribed to defray
expenses and with the proper CO.
operation of the public Hurley s
first community Christmas tree
should be a big success. Miss Nellie
Mcconnell is at the head of the
movement and since becoming inn
bued with the idea has worked un-
ceasingly to carry it through, and
has devoted a great deal of her time
in seliciting subscriptions and max
ing arrangements. A large tree
will be set up on the square near
the town hall formed by the inter
section of Copper street and Third
avenue. The tree will be lighted
with electric lights, the work to be
done by the Hurley Electric Co.,
and will be properly decorated, flags
forming an important part of the
decorations. On Monday night,
Christmas night, the tree will be
lighted, there will be community
singing, selections by the high
school glee club and efforts are be
ing made to have the Hurley city
band appear at the exercises. Each
and every child present will be pre-
scented with box of candy. The
community singing will be made
an important part and it is desired
that the public in general take part
in this feature of the exercises.
Bear the date in mind and plan to
attend.

Material For 500 Cut of. 4"

According to those in a position
to know, the material necessary for
the construction of the new 500
Lire cutoff" has been purchased
The line will terminate at Cayuga
rather than Mellen, thus giving a
better and shorter distance for the
road bed to be laid. From Cayuga
the traffic will be carried over the
main road.
The extension of this branch of
the road will reap benefit for resi-
dents of towns along the lines.
One advantage gained will be the
competition Of freight rates be-
tween the Omaha and 500 lines
Another factor will be the opening
of the district adjacent to the new
right Of way.
Possibly this branch of the road
will undergo repairs to cope with
the immense traffic anticipated.

FARMERS INSTITUTE NEXT WEEK
Meetings VIII Be Held Next Tuesday
and Wednesday, Forenoon and AZ
ternOOn at Garrick Theatre.

A farmers institute will be held
III Hurley next Tuesday and Wed
nesday, Dec, 10 and 20 The meet
ings will be held at the Garrick
theatre with sessions in the fore
noon and afternoon of each day
The program will include discus
sions and talks on subjects pertain
ing to agriculture and farm life and
will be of interest to farmers as well
as others who may not be actively
! engaged in farming but are indirect
ly interested in the cultivation of
the soil or some of the other farm
activities. Institutes are held each
year throughout the state and are
under the direction of the depart
ment of farmers institutes of the
state university. The department
sends the conductors to the various
institutes and pays their expenses,
the only expense to the locality be
ing for hall rent and incidentals
necessary to the holding of an in
stitute. Heretofore institutes held
in Hurley have not been very sue
cessful from point of attendance,
but it is hoped that farmers and
others will this year be more faith
full in attending The conductors
are men and women who under
stand their business and they are
able to impart information and give
pointers of value to anyone inter
ested in farm life. The conductors
for the Hurley institute are w. c. .
Bradley, of Hudson, Miss Nellie
