MRS. BAKERS SHELTERS.

The success of one unaided woman in gaining for

Committee. who are anxious that they shall har-

says that II now depends upon Mr.. Vreeland to see
that they are all in their places by next October.
so that when the rigors OF next winter begin TO
make themselves felt the switChmen and transfer
agents may not be continuously exposed To the
Melting downpour Of rain or hail. or the drifting

WAYS OF THE WORLD.

srith F71ends-LacE of Manners.

Sc many people lose really valuable friends out
Of their lives simply through carelessness add a
certain inertia that prevents them from keeping
I'd the apparently immaterial courtesies Of inter
course which, however conventional they may be,
are the links holding individuals together. 1T is
we'll to be OF with the old love before your are
On with the new says the old song. But this is
q mistake in regard to friends. No can afford
70 lose the kindly regard and good word of any
Of mis- or her former associates. If only matter
Of policy. And surely in this Indifferent world 1t
is a pity TO forfeit through thoughtlessness any
cordial liking that may once have been ours.
A certain young woman who is fond OF being
popular would have been considerably astonished
and not at ali iattered IL she could have heard
herself discussed by a group Of her Quondam
associates recently whom in the interests
which her life had developed she had greatly
neglected The verdict finally agreed upon was
that she mercenary, self-seeking and heartess.
1t takes little to keep the world in good humor
with one that it is surely worth the effort. An
occasional invitation, a call once in a while, a
cordial greeting and the hostile feeling engendered
by complete neglect would u1aterisIiEe. Ones
possessions are few in this world to under
value the goodwill and commentator of asso-
ciates. Old friends are not to be treated lightly
friendship will survive neglect or subside again
into Indifference. Hurt feelings almost always
gender active hostility. which ii is not wise to
evoke.

Will Test New Drill.

Coleman A.. Terry, secretary of the
Davis-Calyx Drill company, of New
York, has completed arrangements
with mining men for experiments
on the Mesaba range with the drills
put out'by this firm. These expert
ments will be watched with keen
interest by mining men of this part
OF the state, and in fact by mining
men generally of the Lake Superior
region, for the new drill-new in this
district at least, though proven sue
cessful eslewhere-promiss to re-:
volutionze the present system of dia-
mond drilling.
The advantage of the new drill
comes from the fact that, no carbons
are required, and the machine is
cheaper than the ordinary diamond
drill The cost of labor for operat-
ing will be about the same, but the
great saving is on the carbons. In
stead of paying $50 to $40 a karatfor
carbons according to size-chilled
steel shot at a few cents a pound,
and tooth cutters; all that is
required. -
Mr.. Terry has made
rnents with Cuyler Adams to test
one of the drills on the Western
Mesaba, and with A. c. Hubbell of
the Boulder Mountain Mining Co.,
to test n On their property 1850
IL. 1t is thought probable that the
steel corporation will test one of
the new drills on the Ver1nillion,
where only diamond drills have
been used. If the experiments
about to be conducted on the iron
ranges of Minnesota are successful
there is no doubt that there will be
a great demand for the new drills
here. The cost of drilling with
carbons is very expensive, and the
prospect of cheaper system of
exploring will have a favorable
effect on such work. J
Mr.. Terry SAID yesterday that his
experts will arrive in Duluth with
their drills to make. tests in about
five weeks. Local mining men are
much interested In the new drill.
The Duluth representative of the
Davis Calyx Drill Co. is r. A. Ham
mond, and the company has estab-
lished an office at 2l8 Providence
building. The new drill cuts a
larger core than a diamond drill.
Mr.. Terry says his drill will sue
cessfully cut a core rs inches in
diameter: Helhas some sample
cores to illustrate the work done by
his drills in various kinds of rock.

NON-PARnSlAN JUDICIARY.
Representative Oo~~iing's Bill Meets
With Popular Favor.

The non-partisan judiciary till,
fatinered and pushed to a passage
by Representative Bowling, receives
the hearty approval of the people,
not only of the district but of the
entire state. 1t is recognized as a
step in the right direction-a step
toward the true democratic princi-
pie upon which our government is
founded.
In speaking of the bill and Mr..
Dowling's course in the premises,
a writer in the Duluth Herald ten
ders the following euloginm:
CAS- a voter and taxpayer, allow
me to express my appreciation of
your editorial anent Representative
Dowling's attempt to take the judi.
ciary outIof party politics. 1t is a
step in the right direction of true
democracy. W. are far from real
'izing the reality of democratic
government. 1t is our ideal, and is
the spirit of our national life. But
there are several things to be re.
moved before we have in fact a
government of and by and for the
people. Partisan bossism, which
the: primary law threatens, as
David did, Goliath: is one Of the
means to bring in the right of the
people to elect their own Y repre-.
sentatives. Hence the bitter oppo.
sition, hidden, of course but none
the less active and hostile, of the
men who know that that law is the
death of the partisan loss and the
freedom of the people to choose
who shall represent them, from the
town marshal to atthe president.
The taking of the judiciary out OF
Ipartisan politics is another and
necessary step towards that indie

sioners will divide the district" is
the positive assertion made by the
Eveleth Mining News in comment
ing upon the present status of the
school bonding proposition. They
may. But they will so divide it, ac-
cording to law, that the new district
created will have but one school
building. If the people of Eveleth
are content. with an amicable adj
justment of the matter according
to the provisions of law, we see little
reason for the people of the terri
tory to be left within the confines of
District No. ~ to object. But the
people of Eve]eth and the. board OF
county commissioners will find OBJ
jections. and legal ones, with money
to push the points, if an attempt is
made to embrace two buildings
within the confines of the new
district. The citizens of virginia
not only want a new school build
