Married,

Saturday at the St. Louis Hotel in
Duluth. Rev. Clelland Of the Presby-
terrain church united in holy bonds OF
matrimony, John Bedford of this city
to Miss Ida Graf of Portland, Oregon.
"Jack" met the lady and made all ar.
rangements while in the west last
spring and the bride came to Duluth
accompanied by her mother. the knot
being tied there to facilitate matters
and not to remove Mr.. Bedford from
his business too long.
Everyone knows Jack" Bedford
and no introduction here is necessary.
He is in the livery business and is do
ing excellent work in the accumula-
tion of worldly goods. The bride is
one of the fair daughters of Portland
and the young couple have the well
wishes of hosts of friends. They have
taken up their residence in the rooms
formerly occupied by VIM. Scott. Mrs.
Graf, mother of the bride. is here
with her daughter. May their trip
through life be one Of unalloyed plea
sure and prosperity.

iron and steel trade is the banking OF
| fifteen Central Western blast furnaces
because there have not been cars
enough to carry them their needed
supply of coke. The threatened effect
of. the car famine has become reality
sooner than expected and the disturb
ing feature of the situation is that no
great relief is likely to be afforded
short of the end of the month, when
the grain and ore moments slacken.
The truth seems to be that all the
forces are working against the over
taking of consumption by production
in the iron trade, though all the
theories and predictions have been on
the other side. What curtailment of
of pig iron output in November will
result from the car shortage cannot
be measured. The same cause is
operating to cut down consumption,
but it would be difficult to strike the
balance.

Good Liver Probably.

A citizen of Two Harhors who
couldn't buy his supplies at home be-
cause OF the combines Of the butchers
and merchants, went down to Duluth
on pass last week and bought bas-
ket OF grapes and pound of liver,
paying the same price that they
would be delivered at his door by
home dealers. He toted them around
with him all day and held them in his
lapall the way home. He spent the
evening writing to the Duluth Herald
a statement Of the deplorable condi-
tions, and felt so downspirited that
he signed his communication with
the three last letters of the alphabet.
Two Harbors News.

Schaefer was appointed to fill the
vacancy. Thos. Hughes rendered his
resignation as alderman of the second
ward and Nick Triblcock was APP
pointed to fill the vacated position.
Tile matter of fire alarm system
was brought up and after discussion
the purchasing committee was in
structed to see about the same with
full power to act.
Right here we will say that the
system is needed ere
and needed badly. The present
fire alarm is entirely too far behind
fora city like Ely and a numerical
system should be installed at once.
AT the last alarm, all of seven or
eight minutes were lost in locating
the lire and on day when the wind
is high. much damage could be done
before the department could locate
the fire and much harm could be ac-
complshed. Ely has good fire de-
partment and a good alarm system is
needed.

Fire Department. Meeting.

AT a meeting of the Ely Fire de-
partment held Wednesday evening it
was decided to accept the invita- tion
from Tower and attend the dedication
ceremonies in a body. David Brown
resigned as secretary and member
of the department and Harry Chinn
was elected as secretary. George
Aase, John Densmore ana Clarence
Mott were admitted as members of
the department. At the meeting of
the relief Association after the de-
partment meeting, the resignation of
David Brown as secretary was accept
ed and Harry Chinn elected to fill the
uneXpired term. The relief associa-
tion is in good condition, the treas
ury containing something like $3.50.
Relief was voted to Thos. Polking-
horn who was injured at Hibbing
during the tournament and to John
Columbo who was injured at the
Knutson fire some weeksNago.

A Mild Winter.

There is very welcome news to the
public in general, if old signs be re-
lied upon. 1t is thought that the
coming winter will be an unusually
mild one. because the muskrats are
building their homes with thin walls,
the corn husks are very light in
weighs, the moss on the north side Of
the trees is flimsy, and the fur OF wild
animals is not growing heavy, An
open winter would be appreciated by
a great many other people than the
coal barons.

The Range Story,

The fascinating story of the dis
cOvery of iron ore on the Mesaba range
is Interestingly and graphically told
in the October number of the North
west Magazine, by John M. McClin-
took. county attorney of st. Louis Co.
The Article is the first and leading
one of the magazine, and it sketches
the discovery of iron ore. the phenOm-
email growth Of the industry and the
proportions it has reached, and Incl
dentally it tells something of the
methods of mining. The article is
eminently well written and correct,
and is a noticeable feature of the
magazine.

Ore Shipments.

With twenty days Of the ore-ship.
ping season ahead, Minnesota has.
for the first time, turned the 10, 600, 900
ton point in iron ore shipments,
showing an increase on Nov. l of
i,oI2,226 tons over the shipments to
the same date in 1900, and more than
$4,000 tons in excess of the total for
the entire season last year.
1t now seems probable that the ore
shipments for the entire season from
Minnesota this year will exceed II 900.
600 gross tons. The final records for
the year 1901 probably will show that
Minnesota has not only shipped, but
has produced more ore during that
period than any other state in the
Union. Minnesota last year shipped
more than any other state, but Michi-
gan produced little more.
The Duluth & Iron Range road has
alread shipped 4,SO2,425 gross tons,
as compared with 1852. 191 gross tons
to the same date last year. showing
the splendid increase of l, O4O, 232 tons
While the Iron Range shows the big
geSt in tons, the Eastern Minnesota
docks show the biggest per cent of
increase. These docks last year had |
forwarded /, 45l, 060 tons on Nov. 1, |
while this year on the same date the
record is 2.0S5, 526 tons.
The Duluth, Missabe & Northern
roads shipments have fallen off heav-
lily this year as compared with 1900.
The Missabe docks, to Nov. 1 shipped
3, 135, 942 tons, as compared with 3,733-
AS tons for the same period last year,
showing falling off of more than
$780, 900 tons, but this is made up by
the increased shipments of the Iron
Range and Eastern Minnesota, with
more 100000 tons to spare. The
docks will not be very active
during November, but the Iron Range
and Eastern Minnesota will continue
shipping briskly for the next two or
three weeks.

William Franklin, of Winton who
