On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The announcement of the appoint
ment of Edward Hanson of Duluth as
chief of police of Minneapolis, meets
with the favor of the host of friends
of Mr.. Hanson in this county in
particular and the state in general
Ed. Hanson was for years the efficient
assistant of Sheriff Sam Owens OF
this county. Later he was chief OF
police of Duluth and then went to
Minneapolis as head of protective
service at the Northern Pump COM
pany's plant. He is 45 years of age
a graduate of the FBI training school
at Washington, D. c., and takes the
position as Chief at Minneapolis
with the full intention of staging a
cleanup in the city of considerable
unsavory reputation.

pike taken from one bay.
They pulled up anchor and went
across the lake to try a different spot.
