The conservation of the Maple Hill
cemetary which took place last SUP day
afternoon was conducted by Rev. Fl. j.
Grotheam, of-Duiuth, DR.. Salter being
unable to attend on account OF, the m.
clemency OF the weather. The services
we're very impressive, and the singing by
the quartet was in both English and
Scandinavian. The. new cemetary has
bsen all plated and is now ready for the
public to select lots. The plan after
which it is LAID out was drawn by George
FL. Durfee and is very artistic piece of
work. The remains of Mr.. Benson and
the infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. Everson
will he removed to the new cemetary
soon.
A Canadian steamer, the Lily Smith,
from Sarnia, with a barge en- tow, came
into this. port for shelter Tuesday after
noon and remained until Wednesday
morning when she resumed her journey
to Duluth, where she was going for
load of lumber. During their stay here
disagreement arose between. the CAP
tain and engineers crew as to the proper
way to bank the fires. After few hot
words between the engineer and captain
the latter ordered the engineer and his
crew to go ashore, which the engineers
refased to do. The two fremen, how
ever, came ashore and remained here un-
til Thursday afternoon when they left on
the Dixon for Duluth.
Give them little more time, and
Messrs. Carnegie and Rockefeller will
show the world what can be done in the
way of monopolizing the iron industry.
The recent purchase of the Norrie and
Tilden mines on the Gogebic range is
another step in the process. The effect
OF this deal will be to prevent an increase
of price on iron ore as it will be neces-
sary for other furnace men to procure
their ore cheap in order to compete with
Carnegie. If the ore pool attempts to
boost up the price of ore next spring
their action will only hasten general
monopoly Of the business. The Range
predicts that in less than ten years the
iron business of this country will be
practically in the hands of one man, Just
as the oil business is today Mesaba
