About a New Court House.

The county commissioners at a
meeting held Monday decided that
each member of the board should
sound the sentiment in his district
on the question of calling bond
election for the purpose of issuing
bonds for building new court house.
The matter of building will depend
upon the sentiment of the public
throughout the county. If the tax
payers are not favorably impressed
with the scheme. no action will be
taken, but should the sentiment be in
favor Of the building then the board
will call an election AS to bonding the
county in sum sufficient to build and
equip the new building.
If an election is held it will take
place this fall, and it will. of course,
be separate from any general election
as there is none this year. There will
be nothing to prevent the public CIV
ing a complete and decisive expression
on the subject.
The most important matter how
ever, will be the canvass Of the mem
bers of the board, because bond elect
ions usually go through no matter
what they are for. That has been the
experience in the past.

New Steel Company.

A new interest and an immense one
is in the field for iron lands in the
Minnesota district and is quietly
picking up number of properties
that have good prospects. 1t is evil
dsntly out for all the ore it can get,
and preparing for active work on the
Mesaba range, for as far as known it
has not yet decided to try for ore on
this range.
1t is said that Henry G. Frick is
the man behind the deals and that
the company is the Union Steel com
pany, with it's home office at Pitts
burg. There is under way there now
great steel plant being built for the
Union Steel company. and it is to be
finished within nine months. This
plant will be large consumer of iron
ore. and to that end must have mines.
Some time ago the Union Iron COM
pany opened an office in Duluth. in
the Providence building. Oscar Rohr
| is in charge. He was at one time in
the EMPLOY of the Minnesota Iron
company, being in its geological de-
partment. He has been acquiring
leases on number of lands on the
Mesaba and are keeping in close touch
with those having lands for lease or
sale upon which there is any showing.

The Iron Age shows that for
the first time in the history of our
country the production of pig iron
has reached 800, 900 tons a week.
In November last the production
was 215, 900 tons week and the
rise to the first named figure has
been steadily in progress since
that time. During the month of
April the United States Steel COM
pany produced 100000 tons of
steel ingots, and in commenting
upon these wonderful figures the
Age says: ''Such a report, al
though amazing, would not neces-
sarily be gratifying, except for
the fact that practically nothing OF
this vast output is being accumu-
lated, but is being produced to fill
outstanding ORDERS"

Poor Board Meeting.

The poor board of ST. Louis county
held a regular meeting Saturday
afternoon, and transacted consider
able routine business. Several weeks
ago the board determined upon new
policy regarding the giving of assist
ance to deserted wives. The action
was outlined in the News Tribune at
the time. and in affect was that run
away husbands would be rounded IN
and made to assist in the support of
their families. None OF these hus-
bands have been discovered yet, and
the remarkable thing about the sit
uation at pr ',,nt is that no wives who
have been DIS ,rted recently have put
in applications for assistance. 1t is
supposed that either no wives have
been deserted Or that the wives of
such husbands would rather get along
without assistance than reveal the
whereabouts OF their recreant hus-
bands.

to declare dividends amounting TO
So, 000, 900, or 100 per cent on the stock
that is outstanding. This was lust
before the road sold out to the United
States Steel corporation. and it is a
little significant that the first diyi-
dent in the history of the road should
have been declared at that juncture.
The dividend was not announced at
the time it was made, and very few
people knew that it had been declar-
ed until it was reported to the state.
Indeed, this will be the first intelli-

the dividend.
