of the law give practically the same
authority of abatement as under the
abatement law, and the owner of the
property in which any illegal sale
takes place is found to be nuisance
or if the material facts in any com
plant are found to be true may be
held liable, and his property closed
to further use, unless he files bond
to abate the nuisance.
The law provides that on the COM
plant of any citizen the district
court may enter an exparte order
restraining the defendant and all
persons from removing, disposing Of
or in any way interfering with the
liquor, bar fixtures or any other
things in the place under complaint
pending the trial of the case.
The case is tried before the Judge
without a jury, and if the allegations
of the complaint are admitted or
proved, the judge must enter an order
abating the nuisance, and for the
destruction of the liquor and the
sale of the fixtures and other things
by the sheriff. Even though it may
not be admitted or proved, if the MAJ
terial facts are established, the court
may enter such an order.
A bond of not less than $500 or
more. than 20 per cent of the value
of the property, must be given to
abate the nuisance for the period of
a year. The court may allow the
owner to open the place after the
bond has been given if the owner
establishes to the satisfaction of the
court his good faith in abating the
nuisance, A penalty for contempt
is fine not less than 500 nor more
than $1,000 and Imprisonment for
not less than one nor more than six
months.
No complaint can be dismissed
after it is filed, except on the sworn
statement of the person making the
complaint and his attorney.
Mr.. Forbes said that this law
would not be operative to great
degree in that part of the country
near Duluth, but within the city it
self and on the range it would be re-
ferred to with effect. Due to the
fact that the county cases for il
legal liquor traffic that are tried in
the Duluth courthouse are concerned
with small shacks or are connected
with property of little value the cost
of abatement proceedings would be
more than the value of the property,
in most cases, he said.

AUTO UPsETs
KILLS MAN
EMIL AKoLA LOSES LIFE WHEN
MACHINE TURNS TURTLE
ON TOWER ROAD.

The first fatal accident on the
Tower and Ely road which has been
considered dangerous on account of
it's many curves, took place Wednes-
day morning at Robinson Lake. 1t
is the impression of the majority
that the safety of this road has de-
pended heretofore on the necessity
of careful driving on the part of
those using it and the knowledge that
it was dangerous.
Wednesday morning while the
Hudson car driven by Victor Wal
kinen with Emil Akola and Matt
Koivu as passengers was returning
from Gilbert it overturned at a bend
in the road near Robinson Lake PIN
ming Walkinen and Akola under the
car. Koivu had in some manner
fallen clear of the car. By opening
the side door on the front, Koivu al
lowed Walkinen to crawl out from
under but it required the combined
OhoAIS VI thOoC piCScuG dSoiStcu ny
the Robinson section crew to lift the
car from Akola.
Deputy Coroner Parker was noti-
fled and he at once went to the
scene. He found that death had
been instantaneous, the heavy car
having crushed the ribs of the UNI
fortunate man and also causing in
ternal fatal injuries. Barring few
slight scratches, the other two men
were uninjured. The remains were
brought to this city and taken to the
Laing Undertaking rooms. The flu
neral will take place Sunday after
noon at o'clock and will be under
the auspices of the Moose Lodge.
Akola was Al years of age and
surviving him are his widow and three
children. He has been a resident of
this city for several years having
been engaged in the saloon business
and later conducting a soft drink
parlor. His brother was a flu vic
tim here in November.

are many occupying positions as

4 AVERAGE ANALYSIS OF LAKE
SUPERIOR IRON ORE.

Average analyses of Lake Superior
: iron ores for the past II years are
8 shown in figures recently issued by
Z the Lake Superior Iron Ore Associ-
alton, whose Offices are in Cleveland.
The average percentage of natural
iron dropped from 55.77 per cent in
1902 to 51.29 per cent in 1918. Av-
erage phosphorus was DOTS per cent
in 1902, and 0.104 per cent in 1918,
+. average silica 6.23 per cent in 1902
to 8.12 per cent in 1918, and average
i moisture 8.71 per cent in 1902 and
1929 per cent in 1918.
The total loss in average natural
! iron content of the Mesaba range
ores was 5.44 per cent, of the Gogeb-
! ic ores $50 per cent, Menominee
: 1.09 per cent, Marquette 2.53 per
{ cent, Vermiiion 3.74 per cent and
: Guyana in five years 6.22 per cent.
The percentage of Bessemer ores to
I the total in 1902 was 64.9 per cent,
4 and 1918, 1923 per cent. Mesaba
! shipments were 80.6 per cent Besse-
4 mer in 1902, and 1913 per cent in
1918, showing a. big decrease in the
: comparative amounts of Bessemer
. ores.
The average grade of ores in iron
content has not varied as'much in re-
/ cent years as one would suppose, but
, has been running fairly regular since
, 1910. Fluctuations in iron, silica,
phosphorus, and moisture are more
Z apparent in the old range ores than
. in Mesaba ores.
The highest grade ore in natural
iron has, always been shipped from
the Vermilion range, whose ores av-
eraged close to So per cent natural
in 1918. The ores of the Gogebic,
Marquette, Mesaba, Menominee and
Guyana rank next in the order named.
The Guyana range ores showed big
drop in average iron content due to
theN shipping of the manganiferous
ores The highest average silica ore
5 is found on the Marquette, the lowest
! on the Vermilion; the highest average
phosphorus is on the Menominee, the
lowest on the Vermilion; the highest
! average moisture on the Mesaba, and
the lowest on the Vermilion. Thus
the Vermilion range ores by compar-
ison of average are in every way the
most desirable ores in the Lake Su-
perior district.

NAVY ENLIsTMENTs.

According to word received from
Lieutenant Commander G. H. Fort,
Recruiting Officer for Minnesota and
North Dakota, enlistments in the
Navy may be made for period of
two, three or four years, at the option
of the recruit.
Heretofore enlistments in the Navy
have been for period of four years
with the exception of minors under
eighteen years of age, who were en-
listed for the period of minority The
provision for enlistment for two,
three or four years was part Of the
Naval Appropriation Bill approved
the 18th of July 1919.
Enlistments above authorized may
be made in any Of the ratings for first
enlistment with the exception of APP
plicants for Machinists Mates School,
and Aviation Mechanics School, for
which the minimum is three years.
Also men re-enlisting for two,
three or four years are entitled to
extra pay same as previously author
lied for four year enlistment, and
honorable discharge gratuity to two,
three or four months. Present war
pay has been made permanent.
Naval Officers are of the opinion
that this will be a great attraction
for young men, and especially for
men who have already seen service
in the Navy.

cruiting stations: Naval headquar-

Superior district shipments increased
