600 tons of ore this season from

not expect to ship more than
200, 600 tons. He says that the

The price Of Adams ore, he says
has been cut to 1920, a reduc.

price. At the same tlIe, within

TRULY Said.

The following from the Evel-
eth Star, an independent paper,
hits the nail squareiy. and meets
the hearty approval of the PEG
pie of the ranges, irrespective OF
party:
The old dyed in the-wool re-
publican war hcrse, rHon. Neil
McInnis OF Tower, is out this
year for the nomination of clerk
of court.
If St. Louis county Republi-
cans have one man more thar
another in their party that de
serves recognition, SO far as
good work for the party goes
that man is Neil McInnis. Mr.
McInnis has worked in and out
Of season for the best interests
of the party. He has always
been with them and never asked
fol an Office that had any real
compensation attached to it, In
the many appointments made by
Judge Morris for st. Louis couu.
ty, none have fallen to McInnis.
Now that the Republican party
of St. Louis county nave an op-
portunlty to do something, it is
but fair that the Vermilion man
should get the nomination fo1
clerk of court. But, on the
ranges as we'll as in Duluth, it is

agreed to publish the official

that Missabe Mountain township

Literary JealOusies.
From the Pail Mall Magazine. }


Literary jealousies are (Heaven knows
are most distressing. not in themselves,
but as symptomatic. And whenever a
young author begins to bore you with
peevish disparagements of his fellows,
you may pity him even more than you
pity yourself. for he is unconsciously pa
rading the first and all but infallible in
dication of intellectual barrenness. That
uuerulous note foredooms him: il is the
buzz of the predestinate drone Converse
ly il is the first sign of usefulness that
it recognizes and is attracted by useful
ness. Except by this simple truth you
will find it hard to explain, for instance,
Tourguenens enthusiasm for Dickens.
What attraction, you will ask yourself.
could the creator of such characters as
Neshdanoff and BaZarof find in the Gre
ator of such characters as Mr.. Pickwick
and the Cherryble Brothers; the mild and
melancholy Slav in the CHEEKY vigorous
British optimist? Roudine and Mr. Mi
cawber are. each in his way. studies of
the sanguine, impractical temperament
which feeds on its own illusions. But
the mere collocation of the two names
raises a smile. The two stand as wide
apart as the poles. and can only, you
would say. have come from imaginations
as wide apart as the poles. Tourgueneff's
whole theory of his art was a point-bIank
denial of Dickens whole theory. And vet
Tourgueneff's admiration of Dickens was
feryent and constant. 1T does not mat

what the little poets do, but great ones
should never pass one another without a
