the boundary between those two states

bays. and also the st. Louis river. The
court supported contentious of Mime
sofa that the boundary was the center

coal and iron docks along the shore of
Duluth harbOr will be entitled to re-
cover many thousands of dollars in
taxes paid to Wisconsin under the de-
cisiOn of the United States Supreme
court. The Supreme court held that
the docks on the Minnesota shore were
entirely within the state Of Minnesota
as the boundary line between the two
states was fixed as the center line of
the harbOr and river between the two
shore lines. For 13 years, Assistant
Attorney General Weeks said on MoR-

Carnegie Coal and Dock company and

paid their taxes to Wisconsin on the

Honor Not All Guteni,era.s.

Printing is said to have been intro.
duced to the world Aug. Ia, 1437. John
Gutenberg stands at the head Of the
early typographers, supported by the
genius of Schoeffer and the generous
patronage OF Faust. Gutenberg used
only blocks, and to Schoeffer is due
the movable type cast from matrices.
Caxton, who introduced the art into
England, began life as trader, but
learned printing at Cologne. The first
printed book on record is 1.-THE PsRl-
ter" which John Faust and Schoeffer
published at Metz in 1437.
