"ALex0nder Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton is the screen
adaptation of play written by Arliss
and played on the stage by him about
IA years ago. This historic story OF
that part of Alexander Hamilton's life
which most Americans have overlooked
is an achievement of which he may be
justly proud. The story opens with
Washington's farewell to his army and
goes into the story of Hamiltons efforts
to establish the credit of the new nation
by having central government assume
the Indebtedness of the various states
Masterful strokes of diplomacy in out
whiting his political enemies even In
the face of Matchmaking scheme to
wreck his home life give Arliss a chance
to display his superb ability and adds
another to the triumphs on the talking
screen.
The supporting cast was well chosen
and the direction of the best. Settings
and costumes are in keeping with the
grandeur of the production 1t is en-
tertainment of the highest standard

port said. This was a decrease of nine
from the 1880 fatality list and five less
than were chronicled during the record
safety year of 1928.
This improvement can only be at
tributed to benefits that are accruing
from careful thought out safety pro-
grams put into effect a few years ago
by all mine operators" Mr.. Smith said
in his report
Each advancing year is gaining
something in safety through a better
understanding throughout the whole
mining organization from bottom to
top that it pays big dividends to watch
out for the well being of the other
fellow"
Mr.. Smith pointed out that 4258 mer
were trained in first aid work last
year and 68 in mine rescue work. The
instruction was given under the direc.
ton of F. S. Crawford, district engin-
eer, bureau of mines, Duluth.
A total of 100000 tons of materia.
was handled by the mines last year, as
compared to 10000 in 1880, &C.
cording to the report. Out of 181
mines, 80 were in operation. A total Of
1924 men were employed.
Shipments of ore totaled. 12,270,86f
tons. OF this amount, 4,1s2,214 tons
came from underground mines and g.
078,652 from open pit mines.
Shipments of ore from the vermilior
range are given in the report as fol-
lows for 1881: Pioneer, 579,73O tons;
Sibley, 219,689 tons; Soudan, 110,12s
tons and Zenith, 231, 166 tons.

SEEK CURE FOR
GAME MENACE
Scientists Working to Prevent
Wild Life Shortage; Life
Cycles Explained.

| One OF natures puzzles still baffled
science today as trained minds pressed
a three-year quest for an answer dis
pelling the menace to small game in
the United States and Canada.
| A serious shortage of snowshoe
rabbits, ruffed grouse and Arctic hare,
DR.. r. G. Green and r. T. King of the
University of Minnesota disclosed, will
result in few years-possibly 1888
or 1934Ein the whole northern half of
the North American continent unless
a solution to the puzzle is found.
Curtailed hunting seasons are yet to
follow when the scarcity they said is
inevitable occurs in territory bound by
the northern tier of states from Oregon
| in the West to the Atlantic coast in the
East and as far North as the Arctic.
DR.. Green, professor of bacteriology,
and Mr.. King of the department Of
agriculture, have sought to ascertain
what disease kills such wild life by the
thousands, and to effect cure.
The abundance of wild life, they say,
travels in cycles. Woods will TEEN
with small game for a few years, only
to be followed by period of acute
scarcity. This change, on the average,
takes about every nine years.
In 1923 and 1924 rabbit and grouse
were abundant in Minnesota. In 1925
their numbers had dwindled, and in
1926 this small game was so scarce the
season was closed by the governor The
same condition prevailed that year in
entire northern half of the continent,
Mr.. King said.
For the last two years the game has
been increasing, approaching the peak
/ of abundance that will be followed by
a shortage.
Dr. Green's investigations have in
dicated tularemia may the the cause
of natures mysterious Determination of
| its wild life, but this has not been
definitely established.
The disease is manifest by spots on
| the liver and spleen of the animal,
causing it to become "dumpy," gradu-
ally sickening and dying.
The bacteria may be carried by ticks,
DR.. Green believes, who has counted as
many as 1000 on single rabbit. Sim
ilarly, Mr.. King has found countless
numbers of these parasites on ruffed
grouse on the 3,0O0-acre plot near Clo-
quet, Mimi, where the field work is
conducted.
A census of the wild life is taken
by King periodically, each animal or
fowl being counted, banded, inspected
and percentage of tick infection studied
in the search for a remedy for such
disease epidemics which invariably cur
| tail hunting seasons.
