ST. PAUL, June 2l.rLabor Commis-

years, will take up, among other feat
ures of his report, an investigation of
the exact profits and losses on wheat
raised in Minnesota and exported. Mr..
Erkman, one of the deputy COM
missioners, has been selected for
the work and will begin his labors in a
few days. Many Of the exporters
have agreed to throw open their books
to the bureau for any information
desired. There will be statistics with
out end in the report when completed,
for it will take up the carloads and
cargoes of wheat as they go from the
shipping points in this state to Liver
pool. Tables of freight rates, trans
fer charges, elevator charges and
all the rest of the expenses connected
with the shipment of cargo of wheat
will be noted, SO that it will be possible
to tell what the loss or profit has been
on every cargo and for that matter on
every bushel shipped to Liverpool for
the past 10 years. AS may be supposed
the work will take considerable time.

IOWA CROPS.
Corn Has Made wonderful, Growth
the Past Seven Days.


DEs MONIES. June 21.-The Iowa
crop bulletin says: The pastsev rare
June days have pushed all crops rapidly
forward. The daily mean temperature
was above the normal, and the sun
shine was in excess of the average. The
amount of rainfall was light, except in
few localities which report excessive
moisture. Corn has made wonderful
growth; the soil is generally in good
condition and the second cultivation
is in progress. If the season con-
tinues favorable, Iowa will celebrate
the Columbian year by exceeding it's
former high record as corn producing
state. Oats and other small grain crops
have made good progress. In some
localities a rank growth is reported.
The season has been exceptionally
favorable for pastures and meadows,
and the hay crop will be heavy where
the grass roots were not winter killed OF
injured by insects. Small fruits are
abundant. The apple crop will be very

Virginia and Merritt Wiped Out and
Other Towns Slightly Damaged.
DULUTH, June 20.-Accurate news of
the fire on the Mesaba range shows the
usual exaggeration in the first reports,
but the money loss will be greater than
first estimated. The first stories re-
garding Mountain Iron and Biwabik
were untrue. At Biwabik only few
detached buildings were burned and at
Mountain Iron only six buildings. At
Virginia the situation is as serious as
reported. The entire business portion
of the town is destroyed. About 30
houses are standing and $40 were
burned. Merritt is

only 16 buildings now remaining in the
town. 1t is impossible to reach Merritt
as the woods are still burning about the
village. 1t was the only town the
newspaper men were not able to visit
and see the exact situation for them
selves. The condition of the sufferers
at Virginia is particularly unfortunate.
Most of them are without shelter,
clothing is scarce and food, despite the
supplies that have been sent from
Duluth, is still scanty. Everything
possible is being done for them and
railroads reaching the range are carry

FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
How Change Was Made In Bolivia.
A Reform

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The secre-

from the United States minister at La
Paz, Bolivia, in which he speaks Of
curious reform in the currency of Bo-
livia only just accomplished. When
bank notes were first issued there was
great dearth of fractional currency. It
consequently became the custom to
make change by tearing the bank note
into fractions. By decree recently
issued the banks are instructed to re-
deem these fractions of bank notes until
June 30. after which they will not be
received by the government or by the
banks and will therefore rapidly dis
appear from circulation. The substitu-
ton of new and entire bank note for
the old fractional notes is now In
progress.

IRON RANGE FIRES
They Have About Burned Out and

Toughs Caught Kindling Fires Gut
In the Confusion They
Escaped.
Some EARLY Statements Exaggerated
But the Money Loss Is Heavier
Than Supposed.

DULUTH, Minn., June 21.-A special
to The Herald from its correspondent
on the iron range says: The forest fires
which have been raging in this vicinity
for the past several days have about
burned out. and everyone is greatly re-
lieved. The Englishman who objected
to the United States because it had no
great ruins, should visit the site of the
late town of Virginia. He'd see ruins
calculated to satisfy the most exacting
Cockney that ever crossed the briny
deep.
The scene is one most appalling and
never to be forgotten. With the excep-
ton of the few buildings at the end of
Maple street and chance residence
here and there to the south and south
west, all is bare, blackened waste, with
occasional piles of smoking debris
marking the site of some late business
house.
Toughs and Citizens Fight.
One almost incredible thing in con-
nection with the catastrophe was that
two or three fellows were caught
kindling fires in several Of the houses.
The object was evidently robbery,
and in the confusion all escaped. Cap.
ture would have been followed with
lynching. The tough element of the
town have been making things very un-
comfortable for the homeless fire suffer
ers. The citizens and roughs had quite
