fore. The ianitor's wife came up to try
her hand at the first breakfast. but
only succeeded in spoi'ing some slices
OF bread in her attempt at toast and
turning out SOME very watery coffee.

said. Don't worry about me or your

She kissed him with "A double twinge
of consciousness and thought OF his
heath as well as that $50 debt she was
about to incur.
I'll send the TAM at 10 o'clock" he
called back 70 her. THAT will give you

She lifted the cover and on top Of
the clothes packed inside lay an en-

canvas pocket In the top. She recoC-

faded paper and saw that the address

Want Citizens

The Oliver Iron Mining Com
pany have circulated pamphlets
among their, employees calling
upon all who are not citizens to
take steps at once to secure their
papers. Instructions have been
issued to all the superintendent
Of the various properties to in
sist on their employees becoming
citizens Of the United States.
Booklets furnished by the I'M
migration Department at Wash
ington have been circulated with
instructions as to the method Of
procedure to make application
for citizenship and the necessary
steps to follow.
1t is notorious fact that big
majority of the miners employed
in this section of the country are
not citizens and many of them
have not declared their intentions
of becoming citizens of this coun-
try.
Every effort will be made by
the Oliver Iron Mining company
to induce its employees to become
subjects of the American govern
ment.

by the War Department to list no
more candidates for service with
this regiment. In anticipation,
however, Of a possible call soon
for another regiment of the same
character the listing officers all
over the country have been in
structed to continue listing names
of suitable men who may be sum-
moned when needed.
The "lumberjack regiment is
not a fighting force but will be
employed in woods operations in
France, getting out material for
army use. The recruits are now
being assembled in Washington,
where they are drilled daily by
the officers assigned to command
them. Col. Woodruff Of the regu-
lar army, who will head the regi-
ment, is in charge and with the
assistance of staff made up of
practical lumbermen and forest
ers is providing an equipment of
the most up-to-date character for
the type of woods operations
called for, in the list Of the ex-
perience Of the Allies. The regi-
ment will take with it both sta
tionary and portable sawmills
with everything necessary for log
ging and sawmill work and for
transporting the product.

Miss Mary G. Canning, who
has been resident of this city al
most since the beginning of the

The family resided in Ishpeming,

was educated in the public
schools. After her graduation
she taught in several of the Mich,
igan districts for several years, re-
moving to this state and to Ely
and Tower in the early days Of
the Vermilion range.
She was assistant postmaster
here under Postmaster III. G.
Kelly and has at several other
times performed the duties Of as
sistant postmaster under the sue
cessors to Mr.. Kelly. She also
served as bookkeeper at some of
the Ely stores in years gone by
She has been ailing for the past
ten years. Her condition took a
turn for the worse two weeks ago
when she was induced to enter
the hospital.
High mass was conducted for
the deceased by Rev. Father Buh
at the Catholic church Tuesday
morning. Brief funeral services
were also conducted by Rev
Buh Tuesday afternoon at 2:3C
clock after which the remains
were taken to the train and &C.

Although the administration
Of the state fire marshal's depart
ment was transferred August l,
to the State insurance commits
sion this will make no change in
the system of having the fire
chiefs and township clerks CO.
operate with the department.
J. B. Sanborn, insurance com
missioner who also is State fire
marshal, has announced that in
addition to the large force of fire
chiefs which have so ably assisted
in the prevention of fires the field
men Of the insurance companies
will also cooperate.
"These field agents will be a
valuable adjunct to the depart
ment," says Mr.. Sanborn, s'as
they will not only observe
whether proper precautions are
beng taken against nreS but Will
make suggestions that if carried
out will ultimately result in re-
ducing the cost Of fire insurance. -
George HI. Nettleton, who for
the last four years has been in
charge of the State insurance
fund and investigating fire haz-
ards i'm the States public build
ings, is directly in charge of the
fire marshal's office as chief as.
sitant, his duties in connection
with the insurance on public
buildings will be continued as
heretofore, however.

Chairman Brozich of the COM
mittee appointed at the meeting
of the St. Louis County Club to
prepare fish and game exhibit
for the State Fair has been busy
the past few days in connection
with the other members Of the
committee in getting the show
collected. -
The exhibit promises to be the
best ever made and will attract
attention to the northern end OF
the state. This will be the first
actual exhibition of the trophies
of the chase and the reel from
this section and will call particu
lar attention to the hunting and
fishing possibilities Of the Yer
million range country.
Among the large pieces in the
collection will be the mounted
moose prepared by the Taxider-
mist John Schaeffer of this city,
a member of the committee. The
deer with the locked horns
mounted by Mr.. Schaeffer a year
ago will also be in the collection
along with moose heads, deer
heads, fish and small game. Thos
j. Storey Of Duluth is adding to
the collection as is also Dave
Foley Of Virginia.
Some difficulty is being expert
enced in shipping the mounted
moose as the animal when Grated
cannot be gotten into a car fol-
, shipment. An extra large auto
mobile car will be required with
end doors. The moose may be
taken to Virginia by automobile
truck and from there sent in the
mammoth car provided fol-
through shipment.
With the mounted animals and
fish will also go a large collection
of photographs, maps and other
descriptive matter calling atteli.
ton to the Playground of Ma
ton The state fair manage
ment has promised well-located
space for the exhibit.

There were IL mines in the
United States that produced
more than 100000 tons of ore
each in 1916, five more than in
1915. First place i'm 1916 was held
by the Hull-Rust mine, at Hib-
bing, Mimi; second place by the
Red Mountain group, near Besse-
mer, Ala. third place by the Fay.
al mine, at Eveleth, Mimi; and
fourth place by the Mahoning
mine, at Hibbing, Mimi. The pro-
1uction of these mines in 1916
was, respectively, 7,658,2O1 q
S99,5SS, 2,252,00S, and 2,215,7SS
tons. The increase at the Hull
Rust was 232 per cent, making
the production of this one mine
more than one-tenth of all the ore
mined in the United States in
1916. These records illustrate
the rapidity with which the rate
Of output of mines in the Lake
Superior district may be in
creased. None but open-pit mines
could be made to respond to de-
mand to such degree.
The production of pig iron, in
GLIDING ferro-alloys, was 39,434,-
1877 gross tons i'm 1916, compared
with 29,916,213 gross tons in 1915,
an increase of 80 per cent, accord
ing to figures published by the
American Iron and Steel Institute
February "a, 1917. The pig iron,
exclusive of ferro-alloys, sold or
used in 1915, according to reports
OF producers to the United States
Geological Survey, amounted to
39,l26,324 gross tons, valued at
63,47S,11S, compared with 60.
