WE HAVE FARMS.
Our Agricultural Interests Second to None
In the State,

III the SCaCc,
The Ely exhibit at the last st. Louis
county fair attracted whole loads of
attention from the more sOutherly
located farmers who always had an
idea this country was possessed of moth
ing but barren rocks, trees and iron
ore. Although the exhibits from the
Vermilion range last year were second
to none at the fair, the coming fair
will in all probability display pro-
ducts from this end of the county
that will cause the eyes OF the farm
ers from tn south to bulge out.
1t has always been maintained that
it was too cold to raise wheat here.
This theory has been completely
knocked in the head by the patch of
wheat located on the farm of r..
Whiteside, northeast of the city. Mr..
Whiteside says the growth is more OF
an experiment and was only made to
demonstrate that the finer grains
could be grown here. Early in the
spring he sOwed about an acre of
ground with wheat he had purchased
in Duluth for chicken feed. The
amount sown was so pounds and the
yield of the patch will be all of 80
bushels. if not more. The heads are
plump and full with the triple kernel
variety and stands on straw from four
to six feet high. AT the present time
the grain is ripening fast and will be
ready to cut in about ten days. Some
of this wheat will be taken to the
fair, both in the straw and kernel.
In addition to the wheat, Mr..
Whiteside has beautiful vegetable
crop in sight. Carrots. beets, peas,
onions, turnips, bagas, beans and po-
tatoes. He sowed this year about 14O
pounds of peas and planted 10 bushels
of potatoes.
Not only has Mr.. Whiteside farm,
but, Jas, Sheridan, A. E. Camp, Ed.
Crossman, Cy Walsworth, Thos.
Lamb, Geo. Kimball, VIM. fairfield,
Knox Lumber company, Torrance
Butt, Theo. Lucas, E. f. Mead, VIM.
Holmes, Rust Roberts, L, Larson,
Miss Maud Whiteside, John Iackman,
Aug. Franks, Thos. Hyde and others
have crops that will cause a fiutter if
placed on exhibition at the fair.
| Mr.. Sheridan is this week cutting
bountiful field of barley. Mr.. Jack
man has oats on his field south of the
city which for average, in our opinion
can not be excelled in the state.
| Wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn and
other grains raised in this country
have healthy flavor owing to the
high bracing atmosphere.
Potatoes, we are sure, none better
can be found. They are large and
regular and very mealy, nothing like
the tallow products of of the Dakotas
and more southern states Garden
truck shows a remarkable growth con-
sidering the late planting seasons ex-
perienced.
Ed. Crossman and VIM. Van Meter
are this year experimenting with
celery growing with more than ex-
pected success. Some of the low
lands are especially adapted for celery
having several feet of black earth
over the clay bottom.
About year more and this country
will be able to support itself with it's
vegetable products. Potatoes will
this year be on hand to supply our
people. Watch our display at the
| fair.

NOTES ON MINING.

NOTES ON MINING.
Several Small Items of Interest Noted In
and About the Ely Mines.
The mammoth pumps being set at
! the Pioneer are proving hard job
owing to the ponderous weight attach
ed thereto. This is especially the
case with the pipes which are S-inch
wrought iron and hard to handle in
the course of cutting and fitting. The
pipes are all put together with gas
gets and bolts. Capt. Sturteyant
thinks the work will be finished in a
few days and says it would have been
done long ago, only for the fact that
the pipes were late in arriving, the
manufactures of wrought iron piping
not being able to supply the demand.
Night and day crews have been put
on the job.
Saturday, on account of rain at
Two Harbors, the steam shovel here
was forced to suspend operations.
This seems rather strange but it is
nevertheless true, as telegram from
Superintendent Owens said the ore
was too wet to unload and in cOnse-
quence the shovel could not be kept
supplied with empty cars. Manager
Pengilly says, ''the Chandler shovel
plays, rain or shine, and it seems
strange they can't do the same atTWo
Harbors."
Next winter will probabls see some
lively times at the Chandler, consider
ing the effort being made to clean up
the stock piles to make room for next
winters output. 1t will be remember
ed that considerable of the ore to be
shipped this season was left over from
last, and in order to get good supply
fer next season, the mine will be
wrought vigorously.
Manager Pengilly, informs us that
he will be compelled to slightly reduce
the Chandler Underground force next
week in order to facilitate the stock
pile shipments. AS it is at present
the mine is producing too much ore
daily and as it all is being shipped as
fast as raised, the shipments will
overbalance the amount sold.
The Pioneer is employing atpresent
about $50 men. The work Of opening
up this property is being vigorously
prosecuted. Although little mining
is being done the greater part of the
ore being raised is that which appears
in the course of development.
The Pioneer will begin shipments
within very short time, or as soon
as the track being put in to the stock
pile grounds is finished. This will be
welcome news to our citizens.
The steam shovel at the Chandler
will hereafter be run night and day
to hustle the stock piles to their des-
tination, an extra crew having been
put on.
A drift is being driven from the old
No. 4 shaft at the Chandler, to the
new No. shaft, a distance of 300
feet.
The grading of the tracks to the
Pioneer is about finished. The mine
now has an excellent piece Of road
leadiag to it.
The steam shovel is loading on an
average of Ito cars of the best grade
ore, known as Chandler, per day.
The Chandler people have started a
raise from the 9Th to the 7th level of
No. 3 shaft.

his head disapprovingly, "he wasn't
much Of a financier-never.w was"
1t was just following dinner and the
Texas colony had come together in its
usual corner of the hotel for the daily
chat and the latest stories from home.
"Who-all is this you're talking
about, judge" asked Representative
Gresham.
He's a county treasurer down our
way" replied the judge, "but he
doesn't know as much about finance "a
a populist. I'll tell you what he did
when he was a young man. He was
down In Austin then, working by the
week. One Of them monthly payment
folks came along and sold him an $50
watch; $40 down, balance IS a month.
1T took Bob's whole weeks wages
this mans name is Bob-it took all
Bob earned that week to make the first
payment and then he stuck the watch
In his pocket and pranced home there
with; he was plumb broke-didn't have
a splinter.
"Bob's board was due and had to be
paid. His landlady was one of these
earnest persons. The way she felt she
must have Bobs board: there was no
deferring things with her. So after
she'd pestered him bit and convinced
him that she and he couldn't live in
Austin IL that board warn't paid Bob
went down and pawned the watch for
$40 and settled up. After that Bob
paid IS month for the watch and S.
more for interest on the $40. There he
was; out $40 month and didn't have
any watch, either. That's the sort of
financier Bob was; and now I hear he's
county treasurer" Elk.

the bird has no room to kick and is at

the Chicago Tribune. Then he as
quickly and unostentatiously left the
great room, his hand showed deep into
his trousers pocket. A few minutes
later he reappeared, determination
written in every deep line of his rugged
face, though his manner did not lack
hesitation. He stared about him until
he espied line of patrons making de-
posits at the receiving teller's window.
and at the foot of the line he took his
place. AS one after another Of the GUS

FELLOW drew nearer and nearer to the
window and at each vance his I'M
easiness increased and ais courage de-
parted. When almost to the goal he
turned abruptly, wagged his head in
deprecatory sort of way and again

would do or die. Only two men stood
between him and the teller and he
shifted restlessly from one foot to an
other. Only one man now kept him
from the counter and his agitation in
creased. That one man turned away.
The little old mans time had come at

is true in every particular, goes without
saying. This is what he says:
"For rs long as four years suffered from
pains across my back over the kidneys. 1t
was that old backache, sometimes better and
sometimes worse. Anyone who has expert
enced such pain will understand how dis
tressing it is. l was continually annoyed by
its presence. l knew the kidneys were at
fault, as there were other signs of kidney
disorder. That pain across the kidneys had
become very constant If l accidentally
Jared myself, | would feel it much worse for
time. One day happened to read about
a remedy for the kidneys called Doan's Kid
ney Pills. / determined to try them, so l
went to Dullam Bros drug store and pro-
cured box. had taken only few doses
when felt relief from. the pain. CONTINUED
to use them, taking altogether three boxes,
and they have cured me. The backache is
entirely removed and / have felt as good
since as ever did in my life. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are truly kidney cure. AS long
as l have a chance shall recommend and
speak a good word for them, advising others
to use them"
Everywhere you go tits just the same as
this. No article or medicine has ever caused
such a stir in the world from its extraordi-
nary properties as has Doan's Kidney Pills
People call them "The little conquerors OF
