$3,500,o0o FOR MINE!
Interest Of Deering Company Pass
to the international of Which
,.. 5 It Is q Part.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 20.-The Interna-
tional Harvester company of Chicago has
purchased the mining interests of the
Deering Harvester company on the Mesa
ba and Baraboo ranges for $3,500,O00
The International Harvester corporation
has determined to follow the example
set by the nDeerings, before it entered the
combine of controlling the raw material.
The deal is the BIGGEST OF the year as 5af-
fecting the controller iron properties.
The International Harvester company
was formed last falf by combination Of
the harvesting departments of the Nc
Cormick and Deerings companies. The
iron ore division of the Deering was not
included In the combine, the International
Harvester company at that time being
undecided as to whether 1t wished to pro-
duce its own ore. It now appears that
the corporation has decided to do SO, and
the deal for the Deering iron properties
bears this out.
The purchase includes the Hawkins
mine at Nashwauk and the Agnew mine
at Hibbing on the Mesaba range; the La
Rue and 2 in the new Baraboo district
in Wisconsin, and two small properties at
largest on the western Mesaba-
to represent their various lodges at the
state meeting. The following grand Off
GERS were elected: Grand master, William
r. Morris, Minneapolis; deputy grand
master, c. J. Charleston, st. Paul; senior
grand warden, J. P. Charleston, st. Paul;

luth; grand treasurer, H. e. Howard, St.

The reading matter is Of most enter

DON'T MORTGAGE
!. YOUR PROSPECTS
Senator Hill Says Financial Trouble
Surely Will Follow Such
Transaction.

Olcott Beach, N. Y, Aug. 20.-At the
annual picnic of the Niagara County Pio-
neers' association yesterday 10000 per-,
sons gave a reception to David B. Hill.
Senator Hill said:
Mob violence is not rendered less objec-
tionable, even If it is true, as frequently
asserted, that unless it shall interpose its
strong arm the guilty may escape punish
ment thru lax administration of the
criminal law or Indifference to its enforce
ment on the part Of the people themselves.
The very excuse offered Is reflection on
the community itself where the crime has
been committed. and the remedy lies not
in the people themselves overriding the
law, but in the people upholding and en-
forcing the law and in an appeal to their
patriotism, their good sense, their innate
love of justice and respect for order
qualities which are seldom, If ever, in
voked In vain. We cannot permit this
government to become mobocracy which
acts upon impulse, feels no restraint and
recognizes no appeal from it's hasty pre-
judgment.
Grimes which can only be punished by
such irresponsible tribunals as mobs might
as we'll not be punished at all. because In
the end the remedy will be found to Be
worse than the disease
Mortgaglng the Future.
Mr.. Hill discussed Fictitious We. real
prosperity as follows:
There Is a chorus Of assertion con-
stantly reiterated, that the country at the
present time is enjoying period Of much
prosperity. Yet there are grave reasons
for doubling the entire correctness of the
statement 1t is conceded that many pub
Tic works are In progress Of construction
and many important enterprises are in
process of development, but the fact must
be borne in mind that most Of these
schemes are being f1oated on borrowed
capital that the future Is being largely
mortgaged, and that profits to hereafter
accrue and dividends to be hereafter de-
clared are already being anticipated, and
there is no adherence to the good old
fashioned and safe doctrine Of paying as
you 60 The country has been surfeited
with the Issue of various stocks and bonds
which have been palmed off upon a con-
fiding public under the promise of profits,
never earned and not likely to be earned,
until a financial reaction has set in which
has disturbed public confidence, inaugu-
rated a falling market and, temporarily
at least, even if not for some time to
come, prevented safe financial invest
ments; and the end is not yet. When the
prices Of the necessaries of life are unrea-
sonably enhanced, so that it practically
costs man all he earns to live comfort
ably, there Is no opportunity afforded for
the accumulation of a fair competence.
Normal conditions are better for the peo-
pie as a whole than those flourishing
times which are soon followedsby periods
of business reverses. AS an undue ex-
hilaration Is usually followed by depres-
sion Of spirits, SO in affairs Of business,
commercial stagnation is generally pre-
coded by excessive expansion.

Business.

Chicago. Aug. 30.--The Northern Pa
ciic, Great Northern and Burlington rail-
roads will soon have thru sleeping car
service from Chicago to north Pacific
coast points, doing away with the neces-
sity of changing cars in st. Paul and Min
neapolis. A late night train to Chicago
connecting with Pacific coast trains, will
also be added soon. The matter was de-
cided upon by President Hill of the Great
Northern and President Harrison and
Vice-President Miller of the Burlington
The Burlington has no late Chicago train,
but the Milwaukee & st. Paul and Chi
cago & North Western have trains con-
meeting with the Pacific coast trains.
With a connecting Burlington train and
Ghru car service, it Is believed a large
share Of business could be diverted to
the Burlington.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. Ex-senator McMul-
lin raised a scare on possible danger to
Canada from the United States In connec-
ton with the second reading of the
Grand Trunk Pacific company incorporat-

ANOTHER c. @. w. GUESS
II Is Now Wabash Interests That Are to
Purchase the Road.

New York, Aug. 20.-To-day's guess as
10 the purchase of the Chicago, Great
Western Is that the deal has been made
In the interest of the Wabash, but another
guess has been made necessary, because
President Ramsey denied that the Wa
bash has anything to do with the Great
Western.
A man interested in Great Western said
day that when the name Of the pur-
chaser was announced, supposing the deal
went thru. 1t would come as surprise to
Wall street. Indirectly he pointed to one
Of the eastern trunk lines as the prob
able purchaser, by intimating that the
Omaha packing traffic and other east
hound traffic OF the Great Western would
show a handsome profit to the line which
could control ell of 1t to the seaboard.
