Mark Hanna has developed into
an effective public speaker. He
is addressing large crowds in the
laboring districts of the state. and
making an especial plea for support
on account of his record as an EN-
ployer Of labor and friend of the
labor unions. The industries with
which he is connected pay nearly
half million a month. He de-
c]ares he is paying the highest
current wages to all classes Of
labor, and that no instance can be
cited where he has been a ''labor
crusher." He appears willing to
submit his record to the laboring
men of his state. His attitude in
the campaign is hardly III accord
with what the Popocrats repres ent
Mark Hanna to be.

From the Duluth Herald,
Prosperity At Our Doors.

Prosperity At Our Doors.
The night shift has been re.
sumed at the Chandler mine, Civ:
ing employment to 250 or 300
more men. A raise in pay Of 10
per cent at both the Chandler and
Pioneer mines has been an.
nounced, and several new iron
properties IN the immediate vic1n.
ity are being operated with view
Of becoming shippers next season
These facts naturally'cause the peo-
pie of Ely to feel very much en-
couraged by the outlook and to
conclude that the good times have
again put in an appearance. The
Ely Miner INDUCES in a jubilant
article on the bright prospects,
saying:
AT the last calculations there
are at present nearly 1000 men
working in Ely and immediate
vicinity. The supplies and cloth.
ing for the maintenance of the
larger number of these is purchas-
ed of our home merchants. Only
with the announcement of the re-.
sumption Of night work at the
Chandler, business began to look
up and when the announcement of
the raise in pay was made, the old:
time feeli g of security again took
possession. People began to make
for their winters
supplies and business generally
took on a roseate hue. The last
payroll Of the Chandler and Pho.
ncer mines combined amounted to
something like $4,000. The in.
crease of 10 per cent cuts quite a
figure in the total and adding the
wages Of $50 or 800 men Of tie
Chandler night shift it makes
quite difference. Taking all in
consideration we think Ely is
favored financially such as no
other town can boast Of
Ely has not a monopoly of the
good times. Other towns on the
other two iron ranges and in the
lumber districts of this section are
feeling the effects Of the revival of
business and the Inauguration of
new enterprises which promise
much for the upbuilding of the
at the head of the
lakes. The building of the Foss.
ton cutoff of the Great Northern
system will furnish work for hun.
dreds of men and when completed
will add greatly to the business of
Duluth. The extensive improve.
ments being made by the Duluth
& Iron Range and the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern roads will
give employment to many hun.
bred more, while the extensive
numbering operations to be con.
Quoted this winter will add greatly
to the demand for. labor. With
every man at work at good wages,
business generally must prosper.
The large weekly and monthly
payrolls will result in the distribu.
tion Of large amounts Of money
which will be spent with the mer
chants of Duluth and the neigh.
boring towns. The foundations
of prosperity will thus be laid

There IS unusual variety Of ex-
ceptionally interesting material in
the November Scribner's. The
opening paper, the seventh on the
"Conduct of Great Businesses" is
by William Allen White, author
of the famous article on "What's
the Matter with Kansas" and the
delightful stories Of "Boyvi]le. "
It deals with ''The Business of a
Wheat Farm" and is the first ade.
quate account of the great bonan.
"a farms of the West, whose an.
nual product is such an impor.
tant elem ent in the rise and fall of
wheat prices. Mr.. White has
studied them not only for the pur.
pose of accurately describing them
in terms of acres and bushels and
dollars, but with an eye also for
their picturesque and varied human
aspects.
w. R. Leigh, the artist, who
visited the region especially for
the magazine, has made number
of graphic and spirited pictures
that give a very clear impr ession
of the lively scenes of harvesting
time, the wide extent of territory
covered, and the great number Of
machines, men, and horses EN-.
ployed during the busy season.
