A short visit to the village of
Buhl on Wednesday found the citi-
zens of our little western neighbor
ENJOYING a fairly prosperous win
ter and looking forward to a lively
re-opening in the spring. Between
the Sharon, Grant and Kinney prop
critics and the lumber camps in the
vicinity, it is estimated that about
600 men find employment during
the present winter season, and as
surances are given that this num-
Der will be greatly increased with
the return of the shipping season.
Several new buildings are being
erected this winter, and others are
in prospect, the most nota BILE being g
the proposed new school building
| of District No. 35. bids for the erec-
ton of which were recently opened.
The new building will contain eight
| rooms, and will occupy command
ing location at the south end of
Forest Avenue. The lowest bid for
the construction of same was sub
mitted by Frank L. Red6e1d, of
Cloquet, and arrangements are now
in progress for the closing of the
contract.
| The village continues improve
ments to it's water plant. munich
pal investment which to date repre-
sents an OUTLAY of approximately
SIS, 600, and is in shape to furnish a
plenteous water supply for public
and domestic use. A lighting plant
in connection will be added later.
The stability of the town is assur-
ed by the proven ore deposits in the
vicinity, the Grant being an under
ground proposition, while the Shar-
on and Kinney are both worked on
the milling system. The latter
property has not entered the ship.
ping list as yet, but is being
stripped and developed under
ground this winter, preparatory to
making good initial record the
coming year. The Kinney is the
property of the Republic Iron &
Steel Co., while the Grant is num-
bered among the Jones & Laughlin
holdings. and the Sharon with the
US. Steel. Each of these proper
ties is worked on royalty basis, in
suring continued activity and &C.
companying stability to the town
dependent thereon.

1t is evident that some people do
not appreciate the value of Mesaba
ores in so great a degree as do the
men whose efforts of discovery have
won fortunes on this range, as we'll
as those whose 1ndomitable spirit
still leads them onward in the field
of exploration. But it is not those
whose interests are identified with
the advance of the range or it's alli-
ed interests who deprecate the find
ing and use of Mesaba ores. but res
idents of the manufacturing center
of Pittsburg, who contend that the
dust arising from the use of Mesaba
ores in furnaces tends to depreciate
property values.
A bill in equity was recently filed
against the Jones & Laughlin Steel
company, seeking to enjoin the op-
Grafton of the Eliza furnace on this
account, but the court held for the
defendant company, an excerptfr from
the decision being as follows:
"While the extent of the. injury
resulting to plaintiffs from the dust
can be ascertained. the injury re-
sulting to the defendant by decree
prohibiting the use of Mesaba ore
in it's furnaces cannot be estimated.
Such decree would practically
mean the shutting down of not only
it's furnaces but also of it's iron and
steel works, representing together
capital of at least $6O,OO0,OOO and
the employment of nearly 1900
people.
1.-THE result of a restraining order
would not be confined to the de-
PENDANT company, because if it is
unlawful for defendant company to
use Mesaba ores it 10 also unlawful
for every other furnace in this coun.
ty to use those ores; and injunction
therefore, in this case, would affect
injuriously every one of the thirty
seven blast furnaces in Allegheny
county, and their allied industries,
with capital as shown by the indus
trial statistics of the commonwealth
aggregating $400,O00,O0O, apd en-
ploying 10000 persons.
| Gas there are not sufficient old
range ores mined to supply the de-
mand if the exclusive use of those
ores be required, a decree which
makes the use of Mesaba ores inn
possible means the shutting down
of every blast furnace in the county
within year, as the supply of old
range ores would be exhausted
| within that time"

SAN FRANCISCO PLAGUE
EXCITES MEDICAL PAPER
Expresses Indignation at Disgrace of
COncealment"-An Infamous Policy.

or interest 10 the entire medical pro-
fession is the statement to be made by
the American Medicine" as to the bu-
bonic plague situation Its advance
proofs are quoted without comment:
The end OF the San Francisco dis
grace of cOncealment OF plague is an
nounced in the fact or the declaration OF
DR.. Buckley, OF the board of health. that
during the last sixty days no case OF bu-
bonic plague has been discovered in the
city The Federal quarantine officers
also agree. and vessels leaving the port
are now given clean nils of health.
There are no admissions on the pait
OF those who have denied the existence
OF plague that their denials were either
errors or lies Perhaps that is too much
10 expect of human ma Jure. and the pro-
fession will be so glad that the past
policy is ended that we can afford to let
the contention die.
The United States Marine Hospital
Service deserves the gratitude of the
profession, and the nation for it's Ions
efforts 10 bring about an end OF the
policy of concealment and to prevent the
spread OF the disease In this aim il has
since the inauguration OF the new State
administration in California, had the
help OF the mercantile joint committee
and of the State. and city boards of
health.
That the United States has been
spared the horror of a widely dissent
mated epidemic OF the disease IS surely
not due 10 those who have stihed every
dictate of conscience nrofessfoDaI and
social. in obedience to an execrahle seI
hshness. The lesson. however. must not
be lost. and conceaIment OF infectious
disease by physicians at the command of
commercialism should be an infamy new
er again possible in this country"
