WELL KNOWN COURT OFFICER
DIES AT VIRGINIA MONDAY.

U. G. Holloway, well known in this
city where he visited every month
in his line of duty as deputy clerk of
the District Court, died at a Vir-
ginia hospital Monday following a
long illness with a complication of
diseases.
Mr.. Holloway was pioneer of
the Minnesota iron ranges, having
been a railway telegraph operator at
Tower Junction in the closing decade
of the last century. He was promi-
nent in fraternal circles, holding the
Office of great trustee in the National
Improved Order of Redmen and hold
ing memberships in the Duluth Lodge
of Woodmen and Elks, the Duluth
Pioneers and the Vermilion Range
Old Settlers.
He was born in Greenwood, John
son County, Indiana, on September
10, 1854. He went to Ashland, Wis
consin, while still young and entered
the employment of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad. Later he
went to Tower as agent-operator for
the Duluth & Iron Range. That was
in the early '90s. He was appointed
deputy court clerk of the District
Court in Duluth in 1900. After serv-
ing there for nine years, he went to
Virginia in 1909 and opened the
clerk of courts Office at the court
house in that city.
Survivors include two daughters
and a SON, Alice, IS, of Duluth;
Maxine, 16, attending Hutchinson
Theological Seminary and William,
Is, of Duluth.

Biwabik this year has a fast-trav-
cling aggregation which has already
chalked up a number of victories,
viz: Duluth Central, Eveleth, Mount
ain Iron and others. Their victory
over Duluth Central is the one that
stamps them as a formidable aggre-
cation.
The local High School will play the
Biwabik team on their own floor to-
night. Ely won over Biwabik last
year at Biwabik and as this years
Ely team is undoubtedly better than
last years aggregation, the locals
should win again at the Biwabik Gym
tonight.

or sold out of the state will save a
lot of trouble for themselves, for the
Secretary of State and for the county
clerk of court and sheriff, if they
will report this fact to the secretary
of state at once.
The state law requires that when
person disposes of car, notice of
the date and manner of termination
of ownership shall be given to the
secretary of state forthwith. But to
those who neglected or did not know
of this provision, the safest advice is
1.-The sooner the better" Blanks are
furnished for this purpose.
In case a car has been sold within
the state and the transfer has not
been reported in three days, the pen
atty will fall on the new owner and
he will have to pay from 25 cents to
SIS IN addition to his 1927 registra-
ton fee. But where car is regis
tered in 1926 is not registered before
July 1, 1927, and is not reported as
junked, stolen or removed from the
state, the secretary of state will GER
tify this fact and the name of the
owner of record to the clerk of the
court. If the owner has dismantled
or lost his car or sold it out of the
state, he will have ten days to make
affidavit of this fact to the court,
and will have a lot more inconven-
fence than if he had reported the
disposition of the car to the secre-
tary of state in the first place.
If the owner of record fails to sat
isfy the clerk of court that he has
disposed of the machine, a warrant
will be issued and there will be adj
ditional fees to pay and the sheriff's
duty is to proceed to collect the de-
linquent tax and penalty, or failing
to do so, to attach and sell the mach.
inc or other chattels if necessary.
Secretary of State, Mike Holm,
had $4,000 cars registered in 1925
on which he had no registration and
no report before July 1, 1926. Of
these, only about $4,000 were delin-
quent in fact, but the failure of the
owners to report the disposition of
the ether 200 made lot of extra
expense to the state and a lot of
trouble to the owners.

RETURN
OF ANGLE PARKING
Thirteenth Street Firms
Claim Loss of Trade Under
New Auto Restriction.

A preponderance of sentiment of
merchants along downtown Thirteenth
street and on adjacent sections of F.
G. and II streets is in favor of res
toration of angle parking along Thir-
teenth street, according to poll taken
by the Merchants & Manufacturers
Association, the results of which were
announced today.
When objections arose over the or
der of the District Commissioners sub
shutting parallel parking for the for
mer angle parking regulation, the as.
ISOLATION sent missionaries TO mer-
chants located in the affected district,
asking if the new regulation hurt their
business, if they were in favor of con-
tinuation of the present rule or if
they wanted a return TO the angle
parking system.
Fifty-six Of the merchants, as as
ISOLATION reports, were in favor of
angle parking and but FIVE sup
ported the existing regulation. All of
the Sc merchants said the new rule,
which served to reduce the numbers
of cars that could be parked along
Thirteenth street at one time, has af
fected their business.
The merchants reported that their
customers had complained because
they had been unable TO find parking
space during ahopping trips in the
section affected.
The results of the poll will be sub
mitted to the Commissioners by the
association.

SUGGESTIONS GIVEN
FOR QUICK SHOPPING
Campaign Official Offers Pointers to
Facilitate Christmas Pur-
chases Here.

In order to further the 'Shop
Early" campaign being conducted by
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of Washington, Edward
ID. Shaw, secretary of the association,
has drawn up six suggestions to facil-
itate the task of the Christmas shop
per. They are as follows:
]. Make out at home tentative shop
ping lists, study the newspaper ad-
vertising columns, remembering that
expert merchandisers have given in
tensive study to the gift suggestions
carried in these Christmas store an
nouncements. By listing gift needs
and studying store ADVERTISING, the
shopping trip can be routed and many
steps saved.
.. Shop during the morning, If pos
sible, as stocks are more complete and
clerks are not tired.
8. Carry home all small bundles
During the Christmas rush mistakes
in delivery are more likely to occur
than at any other time.
4. Have some one at home to re-
ceive articles that are to be delivered
Many delays are caused by failure to
exercise this care.
5. Keep children out of the down
town shopping district.
6. Make every possible purchase
during the next few days as the shop
ping this year has been unusually
heavy and the merchants stocks are
being RAPIDLY depleted.
