AN IRON ORE TRUST.
Producers Combine to Control thu Output
and Prices

DULUTH, Mimi, March Is. Lon Mer-
ritt, vice PRESIDENT of the Duluth,
Mesaba and Northern, and one of the
heaviest owners of properties on the
Mesaba range, has just returned from
New York, where he attended confer
ence of the controlling interest OF the
active iron ore producing properties on
the Gogebic, Vermillion and Mesa ba
ranges The result Of this conference
10 OF vast Importance TO the iron ore
trade OF the country, for il was agreed
that all properties be operated conser-
yatively throughout the coming season.
The market will not be overstockei
with ore and prices are not To be cut.
The same brokers who have handled
the output Of the older ranges will also
handle the stuff from the Mesaba
range. al- -si-
The inactivity OF the ore markets
that has been characteristic of the
trade for the last few months is said to
have been due entirely to the hope that
the Mesaba range would put ore on the
market at very cheap figure. Furnace
mon have held off their orders, ac.ing
under this impression, as it Is known
that the actual cost of mining ors on
the Mesaba range would enable IL to
control the ore market IL there was "a
desire to cut prices. The arrange
ments amount To what is practically an
iron ore trust for the season Of 1898.
This is the first season the Mesa ba
range has figured on the market.

Many of the pretty and suggestive
little words that serve as names for
Japanese girls are as charming in Eng

mon for a Jap girl to bear the name OF
a flower. On the other hand, however,
many girls in Japan bear the names of
some domestic utensil, as frying pan or
dust brush. Doubtless this results from
the custom common among some peo-
pie OF naming a child for the first OBJ
ject that strikes the eye after the little
one has come into the world.

The Jersey City Journal, while OPP

worse than that of a system OF pensions,

Forest Fires and Mosquitoes in Alaska.
Miles and miles of blackened stumps
marked the ravages of forest fires. The
Indian, when resting ON his journey and
suffering from mosquitoes, sets fire tc
the twigs and leaves around him, ere
ating smoke which keeps the pest al
a distance, and when refreshed he straps
on his pack and moves along the trail,
of course without extinguishing his fire.
In announcing his approach to friends
at distance, he sets fire to half dead
spruce or tamarack tree, and the column
of thick, black smoke is the signal, to
be acknowledged in the same manner
by those who see 1t, so as to direct the
traveller to their camping grounds. In
the summer everything is crisp and dry,
and the timber is saturated with tur-
pentine. The trees left to smolder are
famed info fame by the slightest breeze
the flames creep among the resinout
trees and spread till whole forests are
destroyed.
These forest fires and the mosquitoes
account for the scarcity of game. Over
the vast untraveled region that we Wis
tied there was remarkable scarcity OF
wild animals. We saw only few
ground squirrels and some grouse and
ptarmigan. The Indians say that all
the larger animals retreat in summer to
the hilltops, where, exposed to con-
slant breeze, they are free from the tor
ments of insects.-E. J. Glave in Cen

AN agent OF one of the amateur Tren-
4 ton printing offices canvasses this city
every once in awhile for jobs. 1t is only
that kind of an office that has to go away
from home to get work. We should have
said nothing about this concern had not
the agent aforesaid recently represented
to some OF our citizens that the printing
offices 10 this city ''had nothing but old
type and couldn't do a decent job"
Now there isn't employee in his Office
that has ever learned bis trade, aud the
work turned out by this little "rat' shop
is disgrace TO an average country print
ing Office. Some time age this Trenton
amateur underbid one OF the offices in this
city for job, and when 1t was received
and counted 1t fell considerably short Of
count. That is one way Of doing cheap
work. Another job done for one of our
manufacturing establishments was so bad
ly printed that il was rejected, and the
work was afterward done at home in
satisfactory manner. Another party who
saw this rejected job, countermanded his
order to the amateur Office. That is the
kind of superior" work that is done by
this slanderer.
Now we want to say right here that the
business man in Lambertville who orders
his work done out OF town, is the last one
who should growl because people OF our
city 70 out OF town to deal. They may
suppose that no one knows they do so,
but Lambertville printer can at a glance,
in most cases, detect 1t. We occasionally
see such printing on the desks Of some of
our business men,, No person does SO
much without remuneration for the ad-
vancement OF the business interests Of the
community 10 which he lives az the pub
Usher OF newspaper, and It shows very
little appreciation Of this fact, when bust

Cleveland's cabinet. At one time, while
Postmaster General Ia Arthur's cabinet,
the newspapers painted him as man Of
exceptional abilities and of stern upright
ness Of character. More recent develop
ments have shown him to be OF common
clay, and mere poser OF virtues that are
absent AS Postmaster General he was
greatly inferior to John Wanamaker in
business methods, energy and ideas. As
a judge, he has made some decisions that
have not indicated very broad judicial
mind, while one OF the most noted OF his
decisions is believed to have been made
with the idea OF making political capital
with the ''Populists' and Labor elements.
AZ a politician, he has shown narrow
mind. When Harrison carried of the
nomination OF the Republican party in
1883, which he hoped to get, he sulked
all through the campaign and secretly
worked to defeat him. Last Summer, he
tried little boomlc for the Republican
nomination, and finding 1t hopeless, CO.
quetted with the "Pepulists, and late 10
the Fall came out fer Cleveland. This
political gcd is not a golden one, evident
