MARRIED MEN IN LUCK.

Already schooners of the United

so far this year in it's own ships about
Q, O00 900 gross tons Of cargo and in
chartered ships between 4, 500. 600 and
3, 000 900 tons more. All this ore goes
to furnaces and mills OF the various
constituent companies of the Steel
corporation.
This is about 1000, 900 tons less
than was carried down lakes for its
account the previous season, but 10
more than was actually used. or cal
culaaed to be used in the year ending
last May. The Steel corporation In
1902 carried down lakes enough ore ct
the low prices then prevailing to sup
ply it's furnaces well past midsummer.
1908. During the present years much
OF this excess OF shipment has been
consumed and 1t lie now figured that
the supply on hand at lower lake docks
and in furnace yards this fall is not
sufficient to maintain furnaces opera
tions any further into 1904 than the
excessive stocks did into 1908.

PUMPS ARE OUT.

The big pump in the Great Western
mine was pulled to the surface last
Wednesday and the mine is now rap
idly filing with water. While this
end has long been anticipated in the
community, the cold fact of the pumps
being on surface sent chill through
the business community. for. while
there are other mines about the city
from which the people OF the com
munity can gain q living and the bus
mess interests of the community be-
supported, the Great Western is the
mine from which the city gets it's
greatest support from the fact that 1t
is inside of the city limits and en-
ploys more men than any other.
The cave at TINS property, which

more cause for worry than was at first
anticipated aud it will take a lot OF
work and money to overcome it's injury.

It is estimated that in the twelve
months ended with June about one
million immigrants Aocked to the
United States to share in our IL
berries and prosperity. If these
immigrants brought with them on
an average $40 each, they have adj
ded $4,000. 900 to the money sup
ply of the country they have made
their home. The Baltimore Sun
says that in May the influx was
154, 900 persons. an increase of IL
per cent over 1902, and the Sun
goes on to say that the year makes
q new record exceeding even the
figures for 1882, when $4,000
came over. Not few of the new
corners settled in the Atlantic
coast region, just it is believed
that the great majority went West
to speed the development of that
section. To take them West-if
all had gone West-would require
10000 passenger cars, to say moth
ing of baggage and freight cars for
their belongings. It has been
supposed that the incoming foreig-
ner competed with native Ameri-
can labor and kept down wages.
But wages are seldom higher than
now. In fact, our foreign-born
workers, with their habits of sub
ordination, support their unions
very faithfully in fights for higher
wages and appreciate an improved
income as much as anybody. There
are, indeed, kinds of employment
for which the native American
does not much care, and these fall
naturally to the immigrant. But
for him not a little difficulty would
be encountered in getting certain
kinds of works done at all.-States.

from their ancient faith.
Why such sudden change of
sentiment? Has the temporizing
and procrastiuating policy of the
distinguished associate justice OF
the supreme court, whom they are
supporting in his gubernatorial
aspirations, caused such precipi.
tate and inexplicable change OF
front? Far be it from us to insin-
