SEEK NEW IRON RANGE
Prospectors Think That Extensive
Deposits Will Be Found West
Of Highland.

: Recent finds of iron ore on the High
land range, north of Two Harbors, have
excited prospectors to the belief that an
extensive range lies to the west. J. w.
Elston Of Duluth, has taken out fifteen
prespector's permits for claims on state
land lying west of the Highland finds
George B. Gibson of Duluth has taken out
eight leases on claims strung along line
of forty miles, southwest of Highland and
running to the finds near New Independ-
ence, northwest Of Duluth. These filings
indicate a belief that ther are large bodies
of ore lying between Duluth and the fields
now worked.

MONTHLY STATEMENT PLAN
Another Bank VIII Send Statements In
stead of Balancing Up
Pass Books

The National Bank of Commerce is the
third bank Of the city to adopt the sys-
tenn of furnishing monthly statements Of
account to all depositors instead of bal
ancing the pass books After March
the Bank Of Commerce will use pass books
only as receipts for deposits. This plan
is found to work well for the bank, en-
aiding it to ascertain at a moments no.
tice the condition of an account.
The Northwestern National bank first
adopted this method, and the first Of the
year the Security bank made the same
move. ,---..

CONCERT "HELPED SOME"
Crowd Not So Large as the Entertain
ment Merited.

The famine concert given by the col
ored musicians Of the twin cities for the
benefit of the Swedish and Finnish fam
inc funds did not attract SO large a crowd
as was expected. but helped little, and
the concert itself was thoroughly en-
joyable. The failure of Miss Imogene
Palmers music to arrive necessitated
some changes in the program, but the
young violiniste made an excellent i'm :
preston. The numbers by Mrs Olive
Marshall, Mrs. Frances De Leo. Mrs.
Kate Smith, J. Hayes Robinson and Henri
Bledsoe received hearty applause. and
encores were invariably demanded and
granted.

partment has returned to Washington from
ogden. Utah, where he delivered a speech
before the irrigation congress His journey
both ways took him through the heart of
the corn belt. He said:
me corn crop owing to the popularity
OF the season was late and light Heavy
moods destroyed it on the bottom lands to
great extent. Continued rains through
out June and July saturated the level
lands and retarded the growth Of corn The
frost mas injured 1t in streaks. Through
cehtrai iowa perhaps one quarter of the
crop mas been touched by the freeze but
what has not been affected by frost is
Iipehing rapidly with this fine weather
iowa, for instance. will not have as many
pushelS as last year but will produce more
number corn than last year. There will
be plenty of corn in the country because
the corn was of such character that It
had to be fed. Feeding last year was I'M
prontable. Very many feeders lost money
therefore they will feed less this year
"A very heavy hay crop was secured this
season, and pastures have been, and still
are, In excellent condition.
AS to wheat, thrashing has been delayed
by rainy weather. If the present good
weather continues 1t will progress rapidly.
In considering the wheat crop we must
take account of all the wheat growing
countries We are getting into telegraph
relationship with most of the European
countries, so as to be able to estimate the
worlds crop more closely than has here
tofore been done. Taking our farm pro-
ducts as whole, there is an abundance in
the land"

FARM IMPLEMENTS EXPORTED
Nearly Forty Times as Much in 1908
as in 1864

Agricultural implements exported from
the United States last year amounted to
sol 100000 in value: in 1893 they amounted
to only $450O,0O0 in value: in 1888, to less
than $4,OO0.0Oo; in 1873. to 81, 500, OO0 and in
1863 to less than half million dollars
OF this total of s21 100000 worth of agri-
cultural implements exported last year,
nearly $3OO0.O00 in value went to France.
and about an equal sum to Argentina;
81 100000 to the united kingdom and about
an equal sum to Germany: 81 .25O, 600 to Aus
tralia and over 100000 to Africa. These
are the figure Of 1903. In 1898 the value
Of agricultural implements sent to France
was but about $500, 900. as against nearly
s. 100000 in the year Just ended. The value
of those sent to Germany in 1898 was about
100000. against about 81. 100000 in the year
just ended To Argentina the value in 1893
was about 81 100000. against nearly So, 0OO,-
GOO in the year Just ended.
These facts, presented by the Department
of Commerce and Labor, through it's bureau
Of statistics, are especially interesting at
the present moment. because of the publi-
cation now being made by that department.
and bureau of a series Of reports from con-
suls in various parts of the world on the
sales and opportunities for sales of agri-
cultural implements in the various sections
of the world which they represent These
reports were called for by the Department
of State some months since at the request
Of the National Association Of Agricultural
Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers and
are to be printed In pamphlet form for the
use of that association at its approaching
annual meeting.
Few articles show more rapid growth
in expectation than do agricultural imple-
ments. or a wider distribution. AS already
indicat ted, the total has grown from little
over half million dollars in 1864 to over
$21 ,OOO. 600 in 1903. nearly forty times as
much in 1903 as in 1854. while manufactures
of iron and Steel in which the growth has
been looked upon as phenomenal, are only
about thirteen times much in value OF
exports in 1903 as in 1864. The distribution
of American agricultural implements has
also extended to nearly all parts of the
world The bureau of statistics export
statement shows that reapers and mowers
were sent in 1902 to over fifty different
countries. and plows and cultivators to even
a larger list of countries and dependencies
The sound of the American mower and
reaper is heard in British. French and Por-
tuguese Africa, in Egypt. in European and
Asiatic Turkey. in European and Asiatic
Russia. in Japan. in India. in Australia and
in practically all of the South. American
countries and all Of the countries of Eu-
rope. while the American pillow and Guilt
vator go to practically every country in the
world.
