the approaching town meeting has
written piece for the local paper,

Pioneer Still Closed.

We are sorry not to be able to
announce the resumption of work at
the Pioneer mine which was temper
airy closed weeks ago. At that time
it was thought it would only be for a
few days and the same opinion still
prevails, nevertheless the few days
have heightened into nearly month
and at present nothing more definite
is known than when first closed,
The forepart of the week shipments
were begun on "a small scale from the
stockpiles and about $50 cars loaded.
The Chandler steam shovel has
been working spasmodically the past
week. One day there would be plenty
cars and the next day none. Then
there would be no dock room and con-
sequently the shovel would stop.
However, the daily hoist is going for
ward. Up to the present the Chand-
Ter has shipped about 100000 tons.

been benefited will appreciate
the efforts to the extent of sub

UNDER the caption, ''How Shall
Sewing Best Be Taught" New
York contemporary prints sym
postum that reveals how far for
ward the world has really gone in
the last quarter of century. As
we remember it, it was the custom
in the far away days of our boy
hood to take a needle, quantum
sufficit of thread, a thimble, and
the posterior portion of the trous-
ers of the youngest real active boy
who had been indulging in the
pastime of sliding down an un-
planed board from the roof of q
barn to the ground, and with these
materials proceed to the lesson in
hand. All this, it seems, has been
changed; and if the savants are to
be believed, it was radically wrong
in the first place. The most ap-
proved method of procedure is to
lay a broad foundation, consisting
of a college course-classical pre-
erred-followed by special
training in stenography, typewrit-
ing and physical culture. Delsarte
is not regarded as absolutely essen
tial, though course would be of
incalculable benefit. When the
mental, moral and physical devel-
opment has proceeded far enough,
it is then safe to let the eager
aspirant for sewing honors try the
first lesson. How this should be
done is not stated.

The importations of foreign
merchandise aggregated SOL, 3O5, :
131 last month, against $58, $40, $40
in April, 1896. The dutiable
goods imported last month were
S5o,371, 1926, due largely to the
rush to get goods in under the
rates of the tariff of 1894. The
exports for April were ST, 1885,
700, as compared with 81, O91, TAI
in April, 1896, and the adverse
trade balance in April is 1913, 49,
431, reducing the favorable trade
balance for the ten months of the
fiscal year ending with April to
1929, 81, 1894, and the net balance,
counting merchandise, gold and
silver coin and ore exports, is
S215, 100000 for the ten months of
the fiscal year, as compared with
$164, 100000 for the correspond
ing ten months year ago. AS
imports for May are falling off,
and the export record is keeping
up very well, it is not likely that
much gold will be exported on
special orders.

The officials of the Duluth land
office yesterday received two swamp
land decisions from the general land
commissioners office. In the case of
Frank D. Fowler against the state of
Minnesota, involving land in 24-58-19,
the contest is dismissed and the
states claim is sustained. In the
other case, that of Vincent Ignasiak
against the state Of Minnesota, the
claims Of the state were rejected.
The case involves lands in 2O-55-11.

WHEN St. Paul gave utterance
to the thought, ''all men are liars,
he must have spoken as much in
spirit of prophesy as of the time
in which he lived, and the nine
teeth century must have presented
to his far seeing mental vision
that which gave rise to the sweep
ing assertion which in our time is
so much truism that the eXcep-
ton but proves the rule. Turn
which way one will, he finds it
hard to determine what is true and
false. Men who are ordinarily
accounted honorable and truthful,
to save themselves little unpleas-
ant duty will equivocate or lie out
right, trusting to luck not to get
caught at it.. What is gained by
it? Does ones conscience approve?
Does it secure the good will OF
confidence of the man deceived OF
when he finds that he has been SC
deceived, as he will nine times out
of ten? Is it not better to be
frank and tell the truth even if 8
little feeling is engendered! The
man who holds grudge against
the one who was honorable enough
to speak truthfully is a narrow
one.-Sunday Forum.
