INvENTS A NEW SHELTER.
Black Iron Ore Can Now Be Used in
Making Steel

Duluth, April l5.-The black titanic
iron ore, which has for years been con
sidered valueless. makes excellent
steel. according to the discovery OF d
st, Paul man. About twenty Duluth
mining men will go to st. Paul Satur-
day to see the process, as it seems
new patent smelter is used in the op-
Grafton.
The St Paul men are so conndent
that the new process is success that
they have invited the mining men TO
that city TO see il done.
If the Duluth men are satisfied win
the smelter one will be erected on the
bav front in this city at cost OF go,
600 with a daily capacity OF 2,5oo
tons
This will greatly enhance the value
of Cook and Lake county fields. which
have hitherto been considered worth
less. About 70,000000 tons OF the
black iron ore has been located ana
its mining promises to become as
great an industry as the mining of the
ordinary ore.

TRYING TO SAVE LEvEE.
Five Hundred Men at Work on a Small
Break

New Orleans. April 15.-The food
situation at the Waterloo levee, on
the east bank of the river about sew
enty miles above the city, is consid-

a crawfish hole eighteen to twenty
inches in diameter near the base of
the levee and fear is expressed that
before run around can be built the
weakened levee will give way Five
hundred men are at the scene and four
rows Of cribbing have been started.
A break at this point would be disas-
trOus, flooding hundreds of acres of
cotton land and truck farms in the
New River section and submerging
thousands of acres of valuable sugar
lands in the Pontchartrain district.

Hubbard, of Conway Springs, Kan;
s. H. Hyton, Of Winfield, Kan; Fred
Zutavern, of Great Bend, Kan, and
John Baumstark, of Harper, Kan, as
directors. The directors chose Albert
vanZant to succeed himself as secre-
tary.
The resolutions adopted follow:
Whereas, This particular section Of
the country is greatly handicapped
in the transportation Of farm products
to the market, for the reason that our
railroads are not giving fair and rea-
sonable freight rates, that this state Of
affairs has long continued without i'm
provement, notwithstanding the in
creased tonnage which should enter
into the consideration Of transporta-
ton in formulation Of freight rates;
and
Whereas, It seems practicable that
canal might be constructed through the
great grain-producing belt of the CEN
trail west, from the Dakotas to the
gulf, beginning at a point intersecting
the Missouri river, the Platte, the Re-
publican, the Smoky Hill, the Arkan-
sas and various small streams now
carrying their waters to the Missis-
sippi river and Missouri valleys, and
that said canal be constructed begin
ming at the point named, thence pass
ing south through central Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and south through
the channel Of some river on the bor-
der, or In Texas, to some deep water
harbor on the gulf Of Mexico, thus CIV
ing to the country through which 1t
would pass chain of lakes and reser-
voirs to be used for irrigating purposes
and furnish means of transportation
for the farm products of the greatest
grain-producing wheat belt in the
world to the market at the least possi-
BILE cost of transportation; therefore,
be 1t further ~
Resolved, That we petition congress
to make an appropriation for sur
vey of the proposed canal, through the
territory suggested and for the pur-
pose set forth, that the estimate and
probable cost Of construction and main |
tenance Of the same may be submitted
to the people for further consideration.
