OIL INSPECTOR
GIVES WARNING
KEROSENE AS DANGEROUS AS
GASOLINE TO LIGHT
FIRES WITH, HE
SAYS.
State Oil Inspector Neal calls atten
tion to the&langcr In using kerosene
oil to start tires In cook ami heat
intf stoves. "A number of deaths from
this cause has resulted bo far this
j car," he says. People do not seem
to understand that kerosene when
healed to a temperature above 121 de
Kieis produces Just ns deadly and
l-owcrful an4 explosive vapor as gaso
line. The only difference Is that gaso
line produces an explosive vapor ut
nlMMit 70 desree8 of heat instead of
about 121. Thrown In jv hot stove,
w in l her containing a fire or Hot, ker
neiio will almost immediately pr
fince the explosive vapor. Kerosene
should under no circumstances lie
poured into a stove from a can.
"If people must use kerosene for
kindling or 'hurrying up' tires a small
inaiitity should first be poured in a
u t ;uid thrown from that In the stove.
If a blaze Is then needed to ignite it
use long paper taper and keep at a
f-;ife distance, when touching it off.
This process will procure t ho desired
results und even then there Is apt to
be enough excitement for the average
individual."

A CHRISTMAS
REMINDER
L'very year about this time begins the stream of holiday money
which Btart in the Copper Country and flows eastward Into almost
every nook and corner of Europe. Pounds English, Turkish and
Greek; Kronors, Finmarka and Roubles; Marks, Kronen, Llres and
Francs; these nre a few of the many kinds of currency into which
the sturdy Miner of the North transmutes his earnings and sends
them across the. ocean to add to the wellfare and happiness of the
loved ones In the Old Country.
There are probably some peoplo in Houghton and Keweenaw Coun
ties who have never availed themselves of the unexcelled system of
transfer employed by ,

however, that they are not to throw

permission.

MILLIONS ONCE:
ONLY 01 NOW
ONLY ONE LIVING PASSENGER
PIGEON. COPPER COUNTRY
HAD MANY IN EAR.
LY DAYS.
One solitary passenger pigeon, end
ing her life ut the Zoological tardea in
Cincinnati, is to-day all that remains
of un American species that early in
the last century swarmed over the con
tinent In Hocks numbering billions.
With the death of this sole survivor
of a bird trloe, whose nesting places
often covered hundreds of square
miles, there will soon disappear the
last trace of the wild pigeons that
huve been slaughtered by the million
by men who fed their hogs upon the
carcasses they could not earry away.
Though It Is too late to save this
species, special efforts are now being
made by the Audubon workers to
bring about the restoration of other
birds of economic value that must
otherwise share the same fate.
At one time passenger pigeons were
prolific in the copper country, espe
cially In the South Range district,
where thousands of them were killed
every season.
Can't Find a Bird.
For many months systematic search
has been made throughout the con
tinent by officials of the Audubon as
sociation for relics of the once prolific
Passenger Pigeon. Members of the
organization headed by professor C
F. Hodge of Clark university have
made a standing offer of $l.f,oo to any
one discovering a nest of this species;
but, though thousands have been try
ing eagerly for the prize, not one sin
gle claimant has appeared. In response
to a recent inquiry by T. Gilbert Pear
son, secretary of the National Associa
tion of Audubon Societies, the author
ities of the Cincinnati Zoo have Just
furnished the last chapter in the tragic
tale of these butchered birds. . The
"Last of the Passenger Pigeons" Is
n female, 18 years old, whose mate
died recently without issue at the age
of 24.
As late as 1877 what is now known
to have been the last nesting place of
these wild birds was found In Mlchl
gan, where their nests thickly cover
ed the trees over an area 28 mile
long and 4 miles wide. Residents of
New York declare that in 1S".0 they
Hocked over Manhattan Island in such
numbers that they obscured the sun
nnd that ships loaded In bulk with the
bodies of these birds lay at the
wharves selling them at a cent apiece.
Audubons is quoted as observing a
roosting place of w ild pigeons In Ken
tucky early In the last 'century that
extended 40 miles and was 3 miles in
width. On its edges, men with guns,
nets, clubs anrt torcl slaughtered the
risisting birds, each often bagging f.oo
in one day. When the wholesale
butchers could carry away no more,
they let .loose droves of hogs to fatten
on what was left. About 1N" this
treatment began to thin the ranks' of
tho passenger pigeons, till two years
ago It was discovered that only seven
could be found on the whole conti
nent, four it Milwaukee and three in
Cincinnati.
Other Birds May be Saved.
Declaring that practically all the
gulls nnd terns in America today have
survived solely through the work of
protection nnd restoration at their
reservations, leaders of the National
Association of Audubon Societies are
now appealing to the people of this
country to support the work of pre
serving dying species of native birds
which they have already begun. The
Upland Plover, Cabot's Tern nnd the
Least Tern, they assert, can now be
saved to the nation by quick emer
gency measures for which special
funds are to be raised. The work of
restoring the Wood Duck and other
game birds that are threatened with
the fate of the Passenger Pigeon is to
be undertaken by the Audubon work
ers with the support of the sportsmen
of the country. Sad as is the passing
of the Passenger Tlgeon, its lesson
may avert the extinction of other val
uable species, it Is declared, If the
American people rally nt once to save
their remaining bird resources.

CIIANUKAH FEAST
STARTS DEC. 25
CELEBRATION OF JEWISH FEAST
OF DEDICATION TO COM
MENCE ON CHRISTMAS
DAY THIS YEAR.
Chanukah, the Jewish feast of the
dedication, also culled "the feast of
lights", will be celebrated for eight
days beginning lXo. 25 this year.
Prayer, songs and special services
enter into observation of this feast
Gifts are given the children and can
dles are burned in the homes and syn
agoguos. Tho first night of Chanu
kali one candle is lighted, the second
two, and so on.
This is a custom which has been
observed by the Hebrew people since
163 U. C, when the first Chanukah
was celebrated because the Assyrians,
who has forced their way into Jerusa
iem, were driven .out, and with them
the immortalities they had Introduced
and forced upon the Jewish people in
their effort to llelltnize them and
make them bow to Jupiter. The tem
ple where they had set up false gods
was rededlcated by the Jew to Je
hovah, hence the name Canukah,
meaning 'the feast of dedication."
The gradual lighting of the candles
Is symbolic of the -gradual 'growth of
the light In the world, meaning truth,
intelligence and knowledge. It might
also be symbolic of the gradual In
crease of light ns the days prow long
er from the beginning of Chanukas
until the June solstice.
How Xmas Comes Dec. 25.
It Is interesting in this connection
to note that students of the church
history of .England find that the
Christmas of our church was placed
en Dec. 25 because the Romans, who
brought Christianity Into the Prltlsh
isles, found that, although they were
able to Christianize the Anglo-Saxons,
they could not persuade them to
stop the Yuletide celebration. Tills
was because the days were growing
longer. They, therefore, grafted the
Christmas celebration on to that of the
Yuletide, nnd finally the Anglo-Saxons
forgot their heathen festival In that
of Christmas, although their dato was
retained. l y!

HUBBELL COUNCIL MEETS.
Usual Business for Month Disposed of
Last Evening.
The usual business for the month
was disposed of at the regular meet
lng of the Hubbell council last even
ing. The bill of Haggen and Hubbell,
electrical contractors for repair work
on the burnt out motor of the pump
ing plant, amounting to $87 was sub
jected ti considerable criticism and
was finally allowed after $17 had been
deducted. It developed that tho cost
of this work Was almost ns large as
the sum paid by the village to have
the entire piece duplicated, Tind as this
did not seem reasonable, the deduc
tion was made.
The reports presented showed that
during the month of October, 1,132.193
gallons of water were pumped from
the electrical pumping station and
that during November a total of .843.
450 were pumped, the total cost of the
same being $38.25.
The report of the treasurer shows
that there is only $1.10 in delinquent
taxes on the books at tho present
time, this being considered an excep
tionally good 'showing. '
