Seals Can Drown.

1t Is d curious fact that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water ;
they would drown if thrown into it,
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget TO walk.
There are in existence only two i'm
portant herds of fur seals. one Of
which has its breeding ground in the
Commander islands. belonging to Rus
STA, the other in the PribilOf islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger.
The PribilOf islands are government
property, and thus it happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals in the world.

PROSPECTS FOR END OF
RANGE STRIKE REMOTE
Five Thousand Workers in Northern
Minnesota Villages IdIe-Leaders
to Face Murder Charge.

Virginia. = Five thousand striking
iron ore miners at Aurora, Biwabik,
Mesaba, Mckinley, Elba, Gilbert,
Genoa, Eveleth, Virginia, Bull, Kin
ney, Nashwauk, Hibbing and CHS
holm seemed little nearer solution of
their strike than one month ago, when
the differences that have caused three
deaths and four injuries broke out
County Attorney Warren Greene said
he would charge agitators of the strike
that resulted in the killing of three on
the range with first degree murder.
Practically every underground prop
erty on the Mesaba iron ore range is
closed. Open pits are working a few
men with steam shovels, but most
mining ON the range is underground.
These, he said, by infammatory
speeches, are responsible for condi-
tons that led to the strike. Mime
sofa laws in this are odd. There is no
precedent. The agitators were 25
miles from the scene of the shooting.
