Northern Elevator companies have.
notified their managers that the plants
in this city will be closed permanently
in a. few days, owing to the fact that
the Superior board Of trade has decid--
ed to adopt a new system OF inspec-
ton under the Wisconsin law. Board
of trade men believe that this was.
done for the influence it was expected
to have on the deliberations of the
Commercial club, which body held a
meeting last night and unanimously
passed resolution favoring the
change in systems. 1t is looked upon
as master stroke of bluffing, but it
did not seem tc work the desired re-
suit. The board of trade at the meet
ing tonight will finally settle the mat
ter, which has been agitated by the
grain interests Of the head Of the lake,
in fact, throughout the Northwest, for
three years. The board of directors.
will be ordered to appoint inspectors
under the Wisconsin law, and provis-
ion will be made for their salaries,
which means that the Minnesota sys-.
TEN of inspection will be abolished.
Hundreds of Dakota farmers have in

Milwaukee, Aug. a. A desperate
state Oft affairs exists on the Gogebic
range in Northern Michigan. Where
once 5000 iron miners were employed
i at an average of $1.75 a day now only,
LOCO have employment at 81 a day
and the unemployed find themselves
on the verge Of starvation. All the
mines with but two exceptions, have
smut down their pumps. Merchants
have refused credit to the unemployed
and before the snow flies thousands
VIII be in need Of food to keep from
starving. Most of the residents along
the Gogebic range have not vet recov-
cred from the panic of 1893 and are
still IN debt. Those who are still en-
ployed have their salaries drawn by
the merchants with whom they deal,
and after deductiDg share of the debt
the balance is turned over to them.
Under this system the people are al
most penniless most Of the time. To
the idle ones the merchants have re-
FUSED credit because they see there is
no immediate prospect Of their secur-
ing employment. Many Of the mine
companies have allowed the idle
miners to plant potatoes on the spare
lands, but the army worm now swarms

have organized themselves and have
refused to pay taxes, and consequently

where to get money from. Unless out
side assistance is secured there will
be starving families on the range.

Language, once said a great literary

quarrel with the use, in this sense, of
the word enriched" but we have only
to lock at slang additions to our mod

language is at least increased from
that source. So, on the whole. we
have little sympathy with those per-
sous who always sneer at the innova-
tions Of men not purists in style. The
innovations are terse, vigorous and ex-
pressive, and many Of them have come
TO stay.
