GREATEST OUTPUT
 OF IRON AND STEEL
NOTHING HAS OCCURRED TO IN- OICATE ANY DANGER OF AN EARLY sUBsIDENcE OF THE GREAT ACTIVITY IN MARKET.

New York, November 2S.-Discussing the Iron Age says:
 Nothing has occurred to indicate any danger of an early subsistence of the great activity which characterizes the iron and steel trades. More iron and steel are being made and consumed in the United States than at any previous time in the history of this or any other country, and members of the trade prophecy a still larger business for the coming year. The full capacity of the blast furnaces and steel works completed and in process of erection seems to be especially needed to meet the require ments of the country for the greater part of the first six months of 1902. It is seldom that indications for an approach ing year point so strongly to heavy trade as at the present time"
 Further the Iron Age says: "An active condition of business continues to be re- ported in pig iron, and stocks at furnaces are known to be steadily diminishing. The furnace companies are handling their business conservatively, and while they have made some slight advances, are dis posed to discourage anything which might lead to speculation. More busi- ness has been done in foreign billets for importation.
 Manufacturing establishments are harrassed by exasperating occurrences which interfere with such operations
 The coke situation has not improved as 1t should have done. and blast fur naces are still being crippled by inability to secure fuel
 The scrap situation is attracting a great deal of interest. The rolling mills on one side and the dealers on the other appear to be arranging their forces for contest in which parties are endeavor- ing to control the trade in their special interests.
 Tt is expected that developments will shortly occur"

SPIRIT ISLAND.


1t was a warm sunny day in,
early summer when our party
started out for a holiday in the.
woods. The air was soft and balmy,
and filed with the fragrance of;
countless wild flowers growing by
the wayside. The rain of the pre-
vious evening had dampened the
dust, making our journey very
pleasant and cool. Our destina-
ton was only about six miles from
the city and we soon reached it..
The roadside was higher than the
wood where we intended spending
our holiday, SO we descended a
gradually sloping hill until we,
reached a path of soft, verdant
grass shaded by tall, leafy trees.
The path was SO narrow that only,
two of us could walk abreast, and
we proceeded rather slowly until
finally we reached the particular,
spot for which we were searching.
Words are insufficient. to- de-
scribe what this spot was. Fancy

shaped flowers, dotted here and
there by clusters of delicate white,
pink spring beauty. Think of
this as being enclosed by clear,

it. Some of the most adventur-

Night School The fall and winter
Opens. form IF the nrisOn
night school opened last Monday
evening in the dining hall with
an attendance of l46. The men
went at their studies with a will
and showed a determination to
accomplish as much as possible in
the nine months devoted to the
work. The course of study about
corresponds to the common school
course; the lowest class being
devoted to "A B C's," and the
most advanced to higher arithmetic
and bookkeeping. Prof. Darius
Stewart, superintendent of the
Saltwater public schools, is the
principal and there are also fifteen
teachers chosen from among the
inmates for their ability and good
conduct.
When the school closed last
spring the attendance averaged
10Y, while the prison population
was about what it is at present, so
it will be seen that the growth
of the school is natural and healthy.
The compulsory attendance (that
is, the men who are serving terms
on the reformatory plan and are
compelled to go to <school) numbers
SO this year.
In opening the school, Deputy
Warden Glennon spoke as follows:
"Men, this night school is for
the benefit of those who desire to
improve their time while in this
institution. The teachers give
their services and come here for the
purpose of assisting you. They
must be implicitly obeyed and
every pupil must work. The same
rules that apply to the shops and
other parts of the prison apply to
the school, and every man is on his
honor to obey those rules. If any
man thinks he cannot do this, let
him come to me and tell me and [
will excuse him from further at
tentance. What [ want you to
understand is that discipline will
be upheld here as elsewhere"

Ting confession was made a few
days ago by Miss Reba O'Hair

letter stating that his daughter
had been abducted and demanding
81, 600 ransom.
The father, instead of forward
ing the money, sent a detective.
Then Miss O'Hair, confronted
by the detective, Prosecutor Will
lifts and Captain of Police Dona-
hue, confessed that she was her
own abductor, and that the object
was to get the $4,000 from her
father. She had no help, but en-
gineered the scheme herself, and
it was so adroitly done that her
story of the kidnapping was be-
lieved. She was taken to Bushton
later. She said she intended to-
be married in a few days and
needed the money. She used
chicken blood in smearing her
face, hands and clothing.

undergo an operation before he
can be about once more. So says
the Mimi apolis Tribune. Jim's
condition is due to an accident he
met with while driving across
country near North Branch several
weeks ago. The bad shaking up
he received at that time aggravated
an old wound and made absolute
rest imperative. When seen re-
garding the matter, Warden
Wolfer said he knew nothing of
Jim's illness except what he had
seen in the paper and since he
had not been communicated with,
was inclined to think the reports

WOULD BECOME A STATE.

New Mexico is up in arms over

passes the territory will be prac.
tically left without water for irri-
cation purposes and will at once
revert to desert waste in conse-
quence. The bill was introduced

backed by Senator Culberson Of
Texas. Its object is to supply
water for irrigation equally to the
United States and Old Mexico in
the vicinity of Ell Paso, and with
this end in view proposes to dam
the Rio Grande river at Ell Paso
It prohibits New Mexico from
taking water from the Rio Grande
or any. of it's tributaries. New
Mexico, properly irrigated, woulo
become a garden spot; without
water it would soon be desert
and to avoid this latter contin
gency it's inhabitants are going te
