REPUBLICAN
CAUCUSES
DELEGATES CHOSEN SATUR-
DAY EVENING FOR THE
COUNTY CONVENTION

No great amount of. enthusiasm
developed at the. cancuses held in the
three precincts of the city Saturday
evening for the purpose of choosing
twelve delegates to the county con-
vention in Duluth Wednesday. No
opposition was encountered in either
of the precincts. Notwithstanding,
the. lack of enthusiasm, aconsiderable
number Of votes were cast. The
delegates chosen. were as follows:
First: Precinct-Peter Schaefer,
M. ]. Murphy, Grant McMahan, A.
j. Thomas and John E. Porthan.
Second Precinct-Jas. Moonan
and B. o. Strachan.
Third Precinct--Leonard Slabod-
mix, Chas, Trezona, H. E. White,
Geo. T. Ayres and JOS. Gerzin.
At the, convention, I'M Duluth We'd
nesday afternoon, 48 delegates and
49, alternates We're selected to attend
the state convention in st. Paul to-.
morrow. The Ely people on the del
egation, are P. jSchaefer, A. J. Thorn
as as delegates and Jas. Moonan and
Mrs. P. Schaefer as alternates.
1t agreed upon by all the dele
gates that there should be no attempt
to instruct the 48 on behalf of any
aspirant for any Endorsement at the
state convention Saturday. The pri-
mary thing was that the 48 should
go down to st. Paul, as well as the
IS alternates and labor to the, ut
most to defeat tonnage tax plank,
which will of course, be offered for
adoption by. elements antagonistic to
the iron industry of this state.

The eggs are then coated with a
thin black mud and washed. This
separates them. They are then
placed in the jars. for Matching or
prepared for shipment to other
hatcheries. A most excellent season
was enjoyed this year and vast
amount Of eggs taken. Mr.. Goodell
informed US that on one day, April
18th, 323 quarts of spawn were Sc
cured. When it is figured that there
are approximately $4,000 eggs to
the quart, the total is somewhat un-
believable.
The hatchery had 400 Jars in
working order Sunday with three
quarts to jar. Thirty OF more Jars
could not be used by reason of the IN.
adequacy of the water, supply pipe
leading to the hatchery and which
keeps the jars supplied with running
water and the eggs agitated. This
defect will be remedied mkt year and
all the capacity of the plant util-
lied. The process of Matching re-
quires from IS to % days. The jars
were charged with 1900 quarts of
eggs or an estimated total Of 217,-
100000 eggs of which II per cent
were successfully Matched last sea-
son. In addition to filling, the
jars, there were shipped some 900
quarts to other hatcheries.
After, the little fish are Matched
and are able to swim about they AUTO
matically leave the jars, into larger
watts and from there through pipe
into the lake. or are placed in cans
for shipment. Between 10000 and
$4,000 fry are usually placed in a
can. The Tower hatchery, it is
thought by. the commission, will be
able to stock all the lakes in this
country, as needed.

BE CAREFUL.

The police department has been &C
tive the past week in looking after
the automobile infractors of the road
laws. The officers have found that
the tendency among auto drivers to
"slip one over" is still apparent and
in order to check any desires on the
part of drivers to "get away
with something, several have been
taken in tow and paid liberal fines in
municipal court. Among those who
were up recently were the following
John Burya for reckless driving
Tony Slogan, speeding; Jos. Sells
kar, speeding; Steve Merhar, speed
ing; Jos. Chuleck, speeding; Leslie
Phillips, no lights; Eddie Remes, no
lights; Frank Gruden, speeding. The
total amount of fines and fees col
lected in these cases was $208.36
Chief Coffey says that the infrac-
tions of the automobile laws must
stop and that the police officers will
see that they are stopped. Speeding
in the city limits seems to be a par
ticular fascination for some of the
drivers of cars who imagine that Har-
vey street and the eastern end of
Camp street to the city limits, is a
valid excuse for trying out their cars.

CHILDREN NEED MORE SLEEP.

A tabulation of the data obtained
at Nutrition clinics held in the. state
reveals that the majority of the chill
dren suffering from malnutrition do
not obtain sufficient rest. Even for
children of six and seven years of
age, bedtime is between nine and ten
o'clock, whereas their physical re-
quirement is.fron twelve to fourteen
hours. -" -.
In his Investigations regarding the
sleep Of children, DIR. Czerny found
that, those who form the habit of
early sleeping hours; have complete
rest and waken spontaneously and
fully efficient. Those who retire
late, do not fall Immediately. into
profound sleep, are. frequently rest
less, and because they must be called
in the morning are not completely
rested nor are they efficient until
in the day.
These findings have a definite
bearing upon the character Of school
work done by the pupils, and upon
their physical reactions during per-
iods, of peculiar stress such as exists
at the time of final examinations.
No child can recover from malnu-
triton unless he be given the full OPP
portunity to rest and be taught the
value of early sleep. For this he
must have, the cooperation of par.
ents, teachers and health workers
This is his right.

The editor. and family had the
pleasure Sunday of making a. tour Of
the state fish hatchery at Tower and
we must say that the proceedings of
taking the spawn and the subsequent
Matching Of the eggs is very inter-
esting and instructive.
A crew of six men under the super
vision Of .Wardenss Paul s. Goodell
Of Herman and j. w. Centerwalli Of
Crystal Bay have been at Lake ver-
million for the past month getting
things in shape for the taking of
spawn and in securing the same. Mr..
Goodell has charge of the hatchery
and remains there until this years
hatch is completed. He kindly con-
scented to act as guide for the party
and gave out many valuable pointers
in showing the interesting features
connected with the work.
The work. of lifting the nets and
the securing of spawn was explained
and illustrated. The fish are run
into a pound net from which they
are sorted into other pounds, the

48 Believed Drowned
When Typhoon Strikes

MANILA, Philippine Islands, Nov.
S.-Forty-eight persons are believed
to have persisted when the coastwise
steamer San Basilic was struck by a
typhoon last Wednesday, en- route to
Puerto Bello, Leyte island, South
Philippines, according to a survivor
reaching here today. Fifteen sur
vIvors reached Cebu. There were
sixty-four persons aboard the vessel.
News of the disaster was brought
here today by Concordia Eardo, a
survivor picked up by the steamer
Samal, after drifting four days in an
open boat Puerto Bello is on the
south coast of Leyte. more than 300
miles south of Manila, and in the CEN
ter of a typhoon belt. 1t is the only
