PIC IRON PRICES co UP.


The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume Of
the Week in Iron Circles.
The week has brought tho regular
quota OF advances in prices and in wages
to tho Iron and steel industry. Mahon-
ING valley furnace men have granted
their employees a second increase Of ten
per cent, following the pace set in the
Chenango valley few weeks ago. and
eastern steel works have announced
higher rates effective with July. In pig
iron. under continued buying, Bessemer
has risen to Si1.SO in the valley and
$l2 Is expected by sellers ns the next
stage In the advance, making the Pitts
burg price Sl2.G5.
The most important development is
the renewed effort to make effective what
has been discussed at intervals for sever
nj years in connection with the leading
pig iron producers ~ the south--the
establishment 81 n selling agency and the
allotment Of output with an agreed basis
of prices for the different grades. II is
reported that $3.50 for gray forge at
Alabama furnaces is the figure talked
Of. The Tennessee Conl, Iron and Rail-
road company and the Sloss Iron and
Steel company are the chiel figures In the
arrangement and 10 Is believed that their
directors have sanctioned years
arrangement. The steady advance In
southern iron. aErcuntinu now to 3 has
been supported hythc weil-rOld condition
Of the leading furnaccs and thiscondition
opens the wnv to still higher prices, 40
that tho difficulties such n move would
have encountered ntany time in the past
two yearsare largely removed. With the
proposed advance in southern iron there
would be no difficulty In holding current
prices on northern foundry and forge
irons and giving margin hcsidcs Tor
still higher prices, especially il southern
roads should put their r,tcs up CORE
apondinely.

The Crystal Falls base ball club played
te frat game for the season Sunday and
defeated the Norway team by a score OF
eighteen TO fourteen. Good playing was
not a conspicuous feature OF the game,
though some Of the participants betrayed
enviable signs Of past experience ON the
diamond. The field work on both sides
was all that could be desired by the base
runners. ndstand muffs, wild throws
and the frequent passage OF 'grounders"
between the legs OF the fielders and base
men, afforded the runners ample oppor-
tunity to score without sliding. Sunday
was apparently nm "oif'' day for about
twelve OF the eighteen players and con-
sidering the loose field work the wonder
Is that the score did not reach the
forties. The scorer quit marking errors
after the first inning.

THE Widest LAND.

Oregon Has the Honor Of Having tho
Roushest Tract Known 70 Man.
Assistant Chief Goode Of the United
States geological survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the Wild
est region Of the entire United States is
an area Of 1000 square miles lying in
the mountains between Roseburg and
Coquille In Douglas and Coos counties.
He describes 1t as q mysterious undis-
covered country, in which roams undis.
turbed wild game, and whose brooks
and rivers are filled with wild fowl. It
is nearly all covered with o dense
growth Of pine, fir. hemlock and other
trees. Many Of tho trees are Of enor.
nous size and stand SO closely that it is
difficult for men to make their way be-
tween them. Where the trees are not so
thick the heavy growth Of bushes Of va.
rious kinds takes their place.
1t is q country that is filled with all
kinds Of wild game, including, as re-
ported to him, elk, different kinds Of
bear, mountain lions, deer and other
animals, including lynx and others.
There are also the varied kinds Of fowl.
The streams all have an abundance of
trout and other kinds Of fish, He pene-
trated into the wilds dozen miles and
saw things that filled him with wonder
at the vastness Of the forest, and that
any one should attempt to live in it.
