TIE St. Paul and Minneapolis
people are not a little exercised
aboat the transportation problem.
The railroads leading to Milwaukee
and Chicago are obtaining such a
control over the State of Minnesota
as to draw, by favorable discrim-
nations, all frcights towards the
.atler cities. 1t IS said the Chicago
& Niiw aukeo road carries trejghrs
from points 20 miles south OF St.
Paul to Chicago for less rates than
it charges to ST, Paul. The ST.
Paul & Duluth railroad and the
lake route eastward are the only
competitors for the carrying trade
Of AIinnesots, and now 1t is rutaored
that the managers Of the Chicago
& Milwaukee road have purchased
a majority Of tue stock Of the St.
Paul & Duluth road, thus virtually
giving them is control. The Cham
Der Of Commerce Of St, Paul hasre
Gently heldS several meetings upon the
situation, and general meeting Of
representatives from alI localities
concerned is called for the 22nd
inst, at the Chamber Of Commerce
rooms, ST. Paul.
Duluth viii send large delega-
ton, and Superior should not fail
to be represented The question
OF another railroad from St. PAU to
the head Of the lake viii probably
be discussed, and, also, a south
shore connection. The interests of
St. Paul and Minneapolis and the
country north Of those cities are
sufficiently strong to induce the
building Of those lines, if necessary,
and It anything Of the kind is going
on Of course Superior ought 10 have
a hand in it.

And now we notice another kink
which, simple as it is, will be a
blessing to the boy who has to do
the wood-splittirg. After the pieces
have been sawn ;at5 fre-piace e

the question how best to make the
pieces stand up or lie, while they
arc operated on. Many 3 toe has
been cut while steading the block,
and many an eye has been black

genius gets a hollow trunk, about
half the depth of the piece to be
slit, and sets said piece upright in

Ice MAKING Down SoUTH.-Few
people have a correct notion of the
ezteut to which artificial ice is
being manufactured in the South
The success Of the process employ
ed has been so marked that from
Florida 10 Texas the machines are
hej0g put in operation at frequent
intervals. The actual cost OF
manufacturing ice on the St Johns
River Is said TO be but 20 cents a
ton, including the storage aud de-
livery. As northern ice used to re-
tail at from SO to SIS a ton there,
ii Is plain that n handsome profit
remains TOR the manufacturer after
putting his price SO low as to drive
all natural competition from the
market. One OF the machines, in
which ammonia i used TO do the
freezing, turns out ten tons Of ice
daily, IN the form Of blocks about
two and a half feet long and ten
inches in thickness. The couqela-
tion is perfect, and many are said
to prefer ice thus made to that
formed in the laboratory OF nature

THE FoURFH.-The daY was
more than usually quiet here. A
few families had basket pio-nics, but
most people staid at home. AT
Duluth the case was very different.
The people there were not only
celebrating independence Day, but,
also, the day on which Capt. Du
Luth landed on these shores, two
hundred years ago. The steamer
''Peerless" made an excursion trip
down the North shore with a
large party, and the steamers
"Aiice Craig, s'NeIlie Cotton" and
"AEinnie LeMontn were ont with
gay crowds. IL tho~evening there
was dance at the Grand Army
Hall, and a grand banquet at the
Clark House at which about two
hundred guests were present.
Speeches were made by Daniel
G. Cash, ". w. spalding and
others, and Interesting letters from
Hon. IL VI Rice, Gov. Piilsbury,
Col. Hiram Hayes, Gen. W. L
Banning aud others were read. 1t
was very cni 'yabIe aff,ir and all
went to heir homes highly pleased.
Not an accident marred the testiyi-
ties of the day.

TWELVE sets Of telephones have
been sent over to SIR Garnet
WolseIey for use at the seat Of war
in South Africa. The great al
vantage OF the telephone over the
telegraph is, that tie general can
carry on confidential talk with the
officers at the district station, or a
soldier car creep out toward the
cneny's lines anl whisper back the
Information as to position. A fine
uire-the thinner the better-is all
that is needed, This the soldier
carries on n reel upon his back, a
mile weighing only y few pounds.
This will be the first time the tele-
phone has been used as an instru-
ment Of warfare.
