VESSEL OF BUREAU
Of FISHERIES ON
INSPECTION TRIP

In command of Captain G. W. Car
sen, the Grampus, a vessel of United
States Bureau of Fisheries, Depart.
ment of Labor, arrived in port early
yesterday morning and dropped an
Choir in the stream near Palafox
wharf. Later in the afternoon Off
Gals came ashore, to look after mat
ters in connection with the trip of
the trim craft at this time.
The Grampus is here on a trip of
inspection, it was said, but a more
definite term would be a voyage of
survey, or investigation, for matters
in connection with the fisheries line
are receiving attention.
From Gloucester, Mass, to Pensa.
cola, Fla, is long trip, and the
Grampus has made this voyage, call
ing at a number of points. 1t was
stated that the shrimp industry was
an object for special inquiry, and in
teresting results of researches into
this subject were related. There was
some surprise occasioned when the
officers we've informed that shrimp
in considerable quantity are taken
from Pensacola bay. 'In Fernan,
dina, where we were few days ago.
one of the officers stated, "there are
upward of two hundred boats work
ing practically all the time, and they
can hardly supply the demand. We
are going from here to Gulfport and
other points, and are making, as !
stated, special research into the
shrimp industry. 1t will receive at
tention at this point, but it is not
generally known thai they are taken
in any considerable quantity here"
The Grampus is trim craft of SO
net tonnage. She was built under
contract for the government al
Noank, Connecticut, in 1886. She is
81.3 feet in length. There are six
officers end one dozen men in hel
crew.

boy BURGLARS ARE
SENT TO STATE PEN

Appearing in the court of record
yesterday morning, Theodore King
and Percy Jackson, the negro boys
who admitted several burglaries,
pleaded guilty and Judge Monroe
passed sentence, sending each of
them to the state prison. Jackson
was sentenced to one year, while
King, who was the one who made a
break for liberty when being trans
ferred to the court of record, was
sentenced to 10 months in the state
prison, ard an additional sentence of
three months in the county jail for
voluntary escape. The last part of
the sentence will be exacted upon the
completion of the state prison term
1t was decided by the court to send
them to the state penitentiary be-
cause they had both been in the re-
formatory and made a getaway
from that institution, and it was
thought that if the first sentence to
the school did them no good, il
would be hardly advisable to return
them there, hence the decision to send
them to the state prison.
Several other defendants pleaded
ard were sentenced. Louis Fuller
and Willie Rodgers, charged with
train riding, were sent up for 45
days each, while Frank Caro-, Arthur
Hugh, Seyell Davis and Walter
Moore, all charged with train riding,
were sentenced to thirty days each.

there are facts and figures to
prove it beyond all dispute.
The region between Superior
and Ashland can produce grass
fed sheep that will top the mar
kets in Chicago or South st. Paul
in competition with the grain fed
sheep. The Mort ern nights, as
well as winters, are cool, there
fore the sheep always have on
their overcoats and do not suffer
from heat. This means a clip of
eight to nine pounds as against
seven pounds in warmer regions.
The native grasses grow so
luxuriantly and are so nutritious
that the sheep do better than in
the western grass regions. The
growth is in lean meat instead of
fat, as in warmer regions and
where the sheep are grain fed.
Lean mutton, and quick, heavy
growth, are what the market
seeks.
Fritz Carlson has topped the
market three times in seven years.
He received $17.10 per hundred
weight for his last shipment and
the top of the market was $17.15.

HUMANE AGENT ROSS
BARS TURKEY TORTURE
Official Visit to Several of Duluhs Poultry Houses
Proves That Turkeys are Being
Plucked Alive.

If John G. Ross's warnings are
needed, turkeys no longer will be
tortured in Duluth poultry houses
by plucking alive.
Mr.. Ross is executive agent of
the Duluth Humane Society.
When he read in the previous is
sue Of the Rip-saw how turkeys
are tortured by professional
FUCKERS in the poultry houses, he
waxed indignant. The story did
not make his holiday turkey taste
any better. At the very first op-
portunity the next day he hast
ened to the poultry death houses
on Michigan street for the pur-
pose of seeing methods with his
own eyes.
Humane agent Ross informs the
Rip-saw that he found conditions
as stated by the Rip-saw.
Entering the room Of slaughter,
Mr.. Ross watched the FUCKERS
work. They finished a batch of
birds. Then, when one Of the men
cut the jugular Of a helpless tur-
key, spread-eagled it and began
ripping off the feathers, the Of
fetal visitor let out a whoop that
made the fellow jump foot high.
Where's the boss?" he de-
manded.
downstairs, was the reply.
"Come with me-" commanded
the humane agent. The fellow
went.
The proprietor Of the place then
was warned not to pluck any more
turkeys while they were alive.
The poultry merchant said that
the feathers had to come off be-
fore the birds were cold, other
wise they would. stick. Z
By observation and actual tests,
Mr.. Ross satisfied himself that

to shake Mayor Konkel loose from
his job as mayor.
Organized labor seems quite
friendly to state senator Fred
Baxter for mayor if the change
in form of government comes
about. He is an able, clean man
and, already, a number Of the
unions and workingmens' organic
atoms have petitioned him to
stand for mayor next spring,
whether the change comes or not.
Others also are mentioned but
it now looks as if Sen. Baxter is
far in the lead of all others.
During the month of November
there were $50 arrests in Super
ior. This hardly bears out mayor
Konkel's recent assertion that
Superior wet is as orderly as Du-
luth dry.
The frenzy that marked the re-
turn Of the saloons last July and
which continued for months,
seems to have died down. Many
Of the Duluth tipplers either have
become satisfied as to booze, paid
out all their money or become too
busy to wrestle with Old John
Barleycorn on this side Of the bay.
A lot Of workingmen who
flocked in here went broke and
either got out Of town or got back
to work on jobs outside Of Supe-
rior. Others have used up their
money or been robbed and hang
around, hungry, dirty, sodden and
pitiable objects.
But there is silent, quiet, dam
gerous element slowly settling to
the bottom of things here. There
are great possibilities for crime
and trouble from this class if it
once gets started. It is claimed
that some of these men are har-
dened, desperate characters and
that they cannot remain quiet and
harmless indefinitely.
Some Of them may be getting on
the ground early to help keep the
city wet at the next election. It
is very easy to acquire citizenship
in Superior, under the Wisconsin
law, and the cost Of colonization is,
therefore, comparatively cheap.

K0NKEL FIGHTS
WITH BACK TO THE WALL
Superior Citizens Seek Change in City Government
and Union Men Demand State Senator
Baxter for Mayor.

SUPERIOR, Dec. 7.-(Special
to the Rip-saw)-The petitions,
asking that the project to change
the form of government of Supe-
rior be submitted to a vote of the
people, have been placed in the
city clerk s hands. If found suf-
ficient, the city commissioners
must issue call for an election.
If found insufficient, the petition
ers have ten days additional IN
which to secure the required per-
centage of signatures Of the legal
voters to the petition. :
This plan to change from the
present commission form of gov
| eminent to modified form Of the
old ward system is not due so
much to objections to the COM
mission form as to the fact that
many opponents Of the present
administration fully believe that
to be the only way in which the
present triumvirate can be abol-
ished and it's power broken.
Mayor Konkel has many politi-
cal enemies. Others consider him
the least undesirable of the three
commissioners now running the
government of Superior. Com
missioner O'Hare is considered the
smoothest, most able and most
dangerous Of the three, commits
sioner Tomlinson coming second.
Mayor Konkel, in person and
in his paper, is fighting agrees
lively against the change. He
stoutly maintains that, no matter
what form of government the
people adopt, he will continue to
be mayor. He points out that a
return to any form Of the old
ward system is a move away from
representative government. He
bluntly and pointedly attacks the
personal and political weak points
of those who are against him. His
fight and defense are superficial.

took the first prize in the sum of
$50 for the best carload of 100
feeder lambs. Those lambs sold
for $17.90 per cwt., the highest
price ever paid in the South st.
Paul market.
Mr.. Carlson also took the first
prize in the sum of $50 for the

Of any age.
Both these prize-winning lots
were fed on Douglas county

Well bred Shropshires seem to
be the standard for Douglas
county. Sheep with comparative
ly short, close and oily wool are
considered the best for this re-
gion.
The past seasons wool clip
brought from As to 60 cents a
pound. Today, any wool grow
ers around the head of the lakes
can contract his 1918 clip for IS
cents a pound. Market experts
declare that wool rapidly will
reach 81 pound. Some declare
that this enormous price already
is being paid in some cases.
There was dissatisfaction with
some local buyers, especially one
Duluth buyer. The farmers feel
that advantage was taken Of them
and that Chicago prices were paid
only when the producer was fully
posted and stuck for what was
right.
The coming season there will be
buyers in Superior who will pay
the full and market price. Su-
perior has an ambition to become
the recognized sheep and wool

country. William Billstein, of the
Columbia clothing company, will
give material aid in getting

DENVER'S CITY GARBAGE
HANDLED WITHOUT COST
Denver Hog Ranch Company Maintains Herd OF
Five Thousand Hogs Whose Main Diet
Is Municipal Garbage.

tation against feeding raw gar
bage. The ranch company then
expended $4,000 on a cooking
outfit. The hogs did well on the
raw ration for about 60 days and
then began to lose weight. Elk
perts found that organic acids
were formed which, at first, slim
ulated the stomach but finally ir-
ritated it.
A balanced ration has been
found desirable. Garbage, alone,
will do but balanced ration is
preferable. Alfalfa is fed to ex-
cess in all the pens. Corn, swill
and finely cut alfalfa are used for
fattening.
Elimination of hog cholera is
one of the principal things to
make the piggery a success with
the Denver Hog Ranch Company.
The entire herd of 5000 swine is
immune. A laboratory is main
tanned where serum and virus are
prepared under the direction of
skilled men. Last year, a new
commercial serum plant was built
with twenty rooms in the labora-
tor and enough. pens outside for
500 hogs. Serum is furnished hog
growers throughout the country.
This is a by-product of the pig
gerry but one which is financial
success. Cholera kills $5O,OO0,OOO
worth Of hogs in the United States
each year.
Denver garbage is collected
daily in the down town district.
In the residential districts it is
collected two and three times
week, but not so often in the
colder months. The Denver Hog
Ranch Company pays an inspector
but his authority comes from the
city. Twice a day, he gets COM
.plaints sent in to the complaint
clerk at the city hall. His duty
is to remedy the immediate con-
dition, if possible, and then adj
just the matter so that the collect
or will do his work satisfactorily
in the future. There is a definite
check, quickly applied. Eighteen
teams, fifteen serving the con-
gested districts, make two trips a
day.
Institutions treating tubercu-
losis are, required to have incen-
orators for the disposal of their
garbage.

Garbage collection and DISPOSE.
ton seem to be pertinent and
timely questions in Duluth just
now. Whether to install a new
incinerator or make other dispo-
sition of the city's garbage is a
matter for serious consideration.
Municipal or private garbage col
lection is another matter for con-
sideration and decision.
Commissioner Farrell apparent
ly believes in municipal collection.
Garbage is suitable for hog feed,
production of grease and the max
ing of fertilizers. With proper
means for utilizing garbage, there
need be but little worthless
residue.
The utilization of garbage for
hog feed is interesting and some
thing that has had numerous
trials, many Of them, at least, very
satisfactory and successful.
Denver, a city with a popula-
ton Of 265, 1000, has disposed Of its
garbage to a hog ranch for the
past ten years. This ranch is To-
Gated about five miles from the
business center of the city and no
complaints as to nuisances have
been heard.
Approximately 21,6OO tons of
garbage were handled in 1916
and $50 tons of bone meal OBJ
tanned. The Denver Hog Ranch
Company handled about 60 per
cent of that and private scaveng.
ers handled the remainder. The
city now holds a contract with the
Denver Hog Growers Association
for the collection, removal and
disposal Of garbage without cost
or revenue to the city.
