ID. & I. R.R. Business.

TO anyone who does not realize what
amount of business the Duluth & Iron
Range Railroad company does. the
following will give some idea. At one
O'Clock on Monday morning a train
left the yards, between that hour and
nine o'clock the same morning twenty
nine trains pulled out. BY seven
thirty the same evening the crew that
left at one o'clock that morning, was
called again. When one stops to think
that each train will bring in anywhere
from eighteen hundred to two thou
sand tons of ore they will appreciate
what the immensely of the ore busi-
ness really is. Twenty-nine crews for
road like the D. & 1, B., on one COM
modify, is large number and with
the loads they have can move an i'm.
mense quantity of ore. The train dis.
patcher's office at Two Harbors is a
busy place when the trains are going
out like they were on Monday MORN
ing. About $4,000 tons of ore was re-
ceived at the docks in the twenty-four
hours beginning from Monday MORN
ing. Dock Agent lannon's force will
unload about thousand cars in
twenty-four hours.wlIen everything is
working in order. With plenty of
boats and everything working smooth
ly there is practically no limit to the
shipping facilities of Two Harbors
and it is worthy of its cognomen,

WANT 1T OPENED.
Want to Do Away with the Forest Reserve
in Lake and Cook Counties.


Application may be made to the
United States land department for
the reopening ola tract Of AGO.
600 acres in Lake and Cook count
les which was withdrawn from settle
ment year ago to be made into
government park reserve. 1t Is prob
able that resolution will be sent to
the department asking that the ter
ritory be again opened.
"The park is entirely unnecessary
said "a prominent citizen recently.
sit is held as forest reserve, In a
country where for miles on every side
there is nothing but wild land. The
reservation withholds from taxation,
lumLering, mining and agriculture
an immense area which should be
producing wealth. People of the
counties in which the land is situat-
ed are very much opposed to the res
ervation though as yet they have en-
tered no formal complaint"
State Fire Warden Andrews, who
recently made trip over the area
covered by the proposed reservation
speaks in glowing terms OF the terri
tory for park purposes.

At Last No Hopes.

The Port Arthur, Duluth & West
ern road is now owned by the Canad-
ian Northern and 1t has been stated
frequently for the past two years that
the road would be extended to Ely to
connect with the Duluth s. Iron
Range. A man in position to know
said in Duluth this week that there
is no immediate prospect of such con-
nection. He said lie did not look for
any such extension being made for
several years at least.
1t is explained that the Canadian
Northern company has its hands full
with its big original enterprise, and
will have no opportunity to carry out
any plans regarding the Port Arthur,
Duluth & Western for long time.
For the past several years every
man hailing from the vicinity Of the
Port Arthur line has brought the
cheerful intelligence that the 'road
will build through TO Ely next year"
and it is rather refreshing to hear
one man express his honest opinion
and not talk for publication. We
still live in hopes however that the
road will be built through and make
connections as per the idea suggested
by its name.

Road to the Cemetery.

The Cemetery Association has a
crew of men building highway from
the street now constructed to the city
limits, Camp Street, 10 the cemetery.
A good 24-foot roadbed is being pre-.
pared, ditched on both sides and
graveled. The Township of Morse,
about year ago, donated 5000 to-
wards the construction of this high
way and the Association will furnish
the balance of the money to put the
road in condition for travel.
The cemetery is one of the NEST
beautifully located in the northwest
the only drawback heretofore having
been the mode Of ingress and egress.
With this remedied, few more
streets graded in the cemetery and
other improvements made, we will
have just as handsome burial place
as any in the country.
A crew Is also at work putting in
a road to White Iron Lake to accOmO-
date the settlers living there. These
roads have been needed for long
time and now that a start has been
made we hope to see the same carried
through. The White Iron people
have been compelled to use an Indian
trail to come to the city and the new
road will obviate this. Thirty-two
families are located there.

ST. EXHIBIT.
The Ranges to Furnish Duluth With the
- Material for a Showing

-
In speaking OF the proposed Duluth
exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, Freimuth, Of the Com.
mercial Club committee, states that
if all plans are realized Duluth, Will
make the best showing of any city in
the northwest at the st. Louis fair,
asserting that it will in fact be the
only city In the state with distinct
i've exhibit and perhaps. the only one
In the country.
In discussing the proposed exhibit
Mr.. Freimuth said: 1.-THE committee
has found the map of Duluth that
was used at the Worlds Fair at Chi.
cago. and about $500 will be expended
in charging it and changing it in
details to conform with the condit-
ions and topography of the city as it
is today. Duluth has undergone some
important changes since 1891, and the
map will be fixed up accordingly. The
dimensions of the map are 20I25 feet.
The back Of it will be remodeled so as
to give splendid representation OF
the mining districts of the county.
"AmOng the interesting features
of the Duluth exhibit will be nina
ture working model of the Mesaba ore
docks. This will show the process of
loading the boats with ore, and all
the work connected with the dock
showing how the ore is handled.
''In connection with the ore dock
model will be a display Of the Adams
mine in miniature and in full opera.
tiOn. The Adams mine is the largest
underground mine in the world and
this one feature will attract atten.
tion from everybody that visits the
exposition. There will also be a min.
iature open mine modelled after one
of the prominent open mines on the
range.
The committees first proposition
was to have the mining exhibit work.
ed up in glass, but plans are now
being considered of having them
made IN plaster Of paris and other
materials. These models will show
the complete working of the under.
ground and open mines, even to the
loading Of the ore on the cars. The
idea is to utilize these exhibits after
the exposition by placing them il
one of tie mining schools.
Another interesting feature that
the committee has planned will be
the Iron Man Of Duluth. The fig
ure will be made entirely OF different
grades Of ore that are mined on the
Mesaba and Vermilion ranges.
"The exhibit will also include al
the ore exhibit that was displayed al
the Worlds Fair at Chicago and the
Pan-American at Buffalo,"

Must Stand Trial.

Judge Morris has dismissed the de-
murers brought against the five in
dictments charging G. P. Maginnis
with Implication in the alleged land
office frauds. The defendant who
withdrew his plea of not guilty will
re-enter it and the case will be tried
at the next term of tile United States
court.
The objections were entered on the
ground that the evidence adduced be-
fore the last federal grand jury which
returned the indictments was INSULT
cient and that it was of general
character failing to warrant the speci-
fic charges brought against the de-
PENDANT. The case was argued before
Judge Morris ten days ago and lie has
had the matter under adyisement
since that time.
"The dismissal of the demurrers in
no way affects the status of the case
nor does itrender it any more difficult
to establish my innocence" said G. p.
Maginnis.
The five indictments allege frauds,
conspiracy todefraud and subornation
of perjury. 1t is charged that Mr..
Maginnis induced Annie Stensland,
in filing stone and timber entries, to
swear that the land was taken for her
own personal use, when. by prior
arrangement, it was agreed that she
should sell her right toanother party.

ELY'S INCREASE.
Our Population Increasing at the Rate OF
1000 Every Two Years.


1000 Every Two Years.
That the population of this city Is
increasing at The rate of 1000 every
two years is proven by the "Range
Towns Directory which has made
its appearance recently.
When the 1901 directory was issued,
Ely was credited with 1000 souls.
This years book shows this city with
population of 5000. As the data
was secured early in the year, we have
several months increase the best OF
the book. AS further proof of the
constant growth of the city it is only
necessary to state that the school
enrolment is becoming larger at the
rate of about $50 yearly.
This growth is not one of the mush-
room variety, as experienced by some
of the new towns ON the Mesaba, but
steady, legitimate growth-the
growth that makes cities. We conf
IDENTIFY expect that this is continuous
for many more years as Ely and VIC
Unity has assurances of fifty years OF
ore at the present rate of mining.
The annexed table gives some figures
which show the conditions as to popu-
latiOnS.
Twenty towns are embraced in the
new directory, three more than were
included in the last work, in 1901.
The new towns included in the book
are Nashwauk, Chisholm and Scan
Ion. The directory is issued by r. L.
Polk & Co. every two years under the
supervision of g. B. Stanley, the vet
eran directory man, and contains
much information of interest. 1t
clearly indicates the general activity
and substantial growth of the range
and numbering towns tributary to
the head of the lakes.
According to the figures obtained
thetwenty villages and cities contain
an aggregate population Of nearly
1000, the increase in the past two
years being shown as $1,000. "A COM
parative statement of the twenty
places covered by the directory for
1901 and 1903, is as follows:

| at winton Sunday.
Wfnton now has two handsome
church buildings. Sunday the Sec
ond of the two was dedicated with
impressive services by Presiding Ed
er E. G. Clemans of this district as
sisted by Rev. Logan OF the Ely pas
torate. The first church builtin our
neIghboring city was the Finnish
Lutheran and was dedicated nearly a
year ago.
The new M. E. church was built at
at cost of $500 and only about 800
are at present unpaid on theN debt.
The building is handsome structure
with vestry and other rooms. 1t is
built on side hill overlooking a part
of Fall Lake and is a credit TO the
town. To the efforts of the few men,
bers of the faith ard the Ladies Aid
Society at Winton. and Rev. logan
and others is due the work Of con-
struction and the successful matuJ-
ing of plans to furnish house of
worship.
A large party left this city on a
special train rendered by the manage
ment of the Duluth & Iron Range
Sunday at 2 O'Clock. On arrival they
were met at the train by a committee
and escorted to the church. AT 3

His talks are to the point ahd his
faculties for holding the coagrega-
tion are immense. 1t is infeed a
pleasure to listen to such & -akers
as the Rey. Clemans.
The evening services were attended
| by congregation which packed the
church to the DOORS Special singing
had been prepared by the choir under
the dictatorship of Pros. Martin
Prisk, for both services and to say the
choir work was good would be putting
it mild. The presiding elder, who
has occasion in his travels to listen
to all kinds of singing. says Ely has
one of the best choirs it has been his
pleasure to hear. The evening SER

HIS DIGNITY INJURED.
The Awful ar Oast" Given a Reporter
by the Lady lie Sought to
Interview.

A reporter on one of the local
daily papers is small of stature and
looks and behaves like very young
boy. One night recently he was sent
to Everett on an assignment by the
night city editor, relates the Bos ton
Herald. lie called at house and asked
for the lady he wished to interview. 1t
was after nine o'clock, and the cur
few had warned all children from the
streets on penalty of being arrested
and locked up.
The questions the reporter asked
the lady were inpertinent but i'm
portant. She gazcd at the innocent
looking "child" hSfore her a moment,
and then said: Little one, you are
not a reporter You are an imposter
whom some idle, malicious gossip has
sent here to worry me. You ought
to be in your bed. Now run along
home or you will get arrested and
locked in a cold dungeon; for re-
member, the curfew has rung, and all
little boys must be in bed, nicely
tucked in, before the curfew rings.
So run along like a good little child"
The reporter choked down his
wrath and went his way. But his
dignity had been assailed, and he
gave vent to his feelings later when
lie related his experience to his chief.
Now he is devoting all his energy tc
growing q mustache.

SUPPOSED RELIC OF ALLOUEZ.
Bronze Sun-DIaI and Compass Found
on Green Bay Shore OF His
toric Value.

In January Of this year two hunt
ers found upon the site Of an old In
dian village on the southeast shore
of Green Bay Wis, just above Point
Sable, a combined sun dial and com
pass of bronze, evidently of great
age.
Mr. Reuben G.. Thwaites, in his re-
cent volume on Father Marquette,
thinks that this instrument may
have belonged to Father Claude Jean
Allouez or some of his assistants at
the Green Bay mission. This was the
second Jesuit mission. The first was
at Lapointe on Lake Superior, where
Marquette went in the autumn of
1863 to succeed Allouez.
The bronze compass and sun dial
contains rudely engraved upon it the
latitude. and longitude of several of
the principal forts, missions and 9th
er settlements in New France. The
spelling and other photographic pc
culiarities are of the seventeenth cen
fury.
Allouez .Nys in his journal that he
went to reform a settlement of six
French fur traders who were NAL
treating the Indians. During the
winter of 166O-7O he visited along the
shore of the bay at various Indian
villages. The village where the in
strument was found was probah ly
one of them, and the in ,rument H.. y
be relic of Allouez, Marquette's
predecessor.

The American Steer.

In tracing the course of this hum
BILE but useful bovine that has full
filed his part in the American civ
ilization of Britain, we have fol-
lowed the path that is travelled every
year by tens of thousands of his
kind, says Frank Leslie's. The total
annual export value of United States
meat-of which beef forms the prin-
cipal item-is in round figures $780,
100000. If we add to this the dis
tributive sales of the various pack
ing establishments in the United
States for the domestic market as
well, we find that it reaches the
enormous total of 100000 carloads,
valued at 81, OOO, 900 900. Added to this
is the value of the many by-products
of the packing house, which amount
to many millions more.
Xew Kind of Storage battery.
A novel type of storage battery car,
which in English tests has run 100
miles on a single charge, has motors
that. when travelling down hill, are
reversed and become generators for
restoring the battery charge. An in
teresting feature Of the battery
charge of motors into generators is a
breaking effect that is usually sutH-
dent to check the cars speed withou:

USE OF FALSE TEETH.
The Enormous and Ever Increasing
Output of Manufacture In the
United States.

Probably not less than 100000 arti-
fetal teeth are manufactured in this
country each year, and still the out
put goes on increasing, states the New
York Times. Never before was such
great care manifested for teeth as has
been exhibited during the past five
years. In this respect Americans lead
the world, not even the fastidious
French excelling the people of the
United States in their solicitude for
the preservation of natural teeth and
in their application of the arts of dem
tai science when substitutes have to
be provided for natures molars.
Englishmen are VIGOROUSLY care
less about their teeth, although in late
years great progress has been made
in this matter.
A prominent dentist Of New York
declares that nearly every patient
with a mouthful of decayed teeth is
foreigner. "They let things drift" he
says, land come only when pain drives
them here. Americans, and especial
~ southerners, hasten to their dentist

AS THEY SAY IN ENGLAND.
British Tourists In America Are An
tonished at Our Pronunciation
of Names.

"Since arriving in the United states
have been greatly astonished at
the way you pronounce proper
Names" said Mr.. John H. Hanson: a
.ourist from Huddersfeld, Lngland'
according to the Washington Post.
"For example, this very hotel az
which 1 am stopping (the Raleigh Is
given a pronunciation that SOUNDS
barbarous to my ears. You call 1t
as though it were spelled 'Rawley.'
Now that is positively incorrect Tor
the great Englishman in whose honor
II was no doubt named is known now
and has always been known, with us,
as though his name were spelled
Rally
So can't criticise your pronuncla-
ton of such words as Potomac but
in England your beautiful river has
ever been called the Potomac with
the accent on the last syllable. 1t IL
an Indian word, 1 believe, and you
have the right to place the emphasis
ON any syllable you like, although II
seems to me that our way OF pro-
nouncing it gives far more strength
and dignity to the name"

INsURING AUTOMOBILES.
Owners Seeking Means of Protection
Against Legal Damages Aris-
ing from Accidents.

Several insurance companies have
recently undertaken to insure ownerS
of automobiles against damages
which may be found against them as
the result of accidents to individuals
or to horses or other property arising
from the use of borseless carriages,
saws the New York Times. The poll
cies are issued to cover losses in
single instance, and are made out
either for $4,000 or $4,000. Should
the owner of an automobile feel that
there is a possibility that he may need
insurance against more than one ac-
cident, or that on any single occasion
he may cause damage in excess OF So
600, he is permitted to take out what
is designated as IAN excess liability
policy" at half the original rates.
At present it has been found to be
unwise to offer rates to owners Of
steam-propelled vehicles. This dis
tinction is made not because this class
of automobile is in itself more dam
gerous to drivers, or less susceptible
to control. but because 1t has been
demonstrated by the compilation OF
records that more accidents have re-
suited by horses becoming frightened
by the escaping steam than from any
other cause.
An electric automobile may be in
sured against damages to one person
not to exceed $1,000 at rates from $50
to SIS, OF a policy providing against
damages secured by a number OF per-
sons injured in the same accident Will
be issued on the same terms, 1t being
agreed ;hat the total liability shall
not exceed $4,000. The gasoline auto
mobiles come higher, the rate for the
same amounts of insurance being
from $50 to 500. Automobile delivery
trucks are charged for insurance
against the damages they may dc
from SIS to S125. The insurance com
panies in their accident and liability
departments are still experimenting
with the insurance Of automobiles. II
they find themselves to be losers "a
rates will be raised.

THE MERRY HEART.

When you come to wearisome bit of thu
road.
Where the stones are thick and the path
is steep.
And the back is bowed with the heft Of thA
load,
As the narrowing way is hard to keep
Don't stop just then for a wasteful sigh,
But challenge the worst with stea6tast
cheer;
II nowhere else, there is help on high
Gods angel will hasten. your pioneer.
When you reach a lonesome bit of tbs
road,
Curtained about with mist and murk.
And you hear faint sounds from the dread
above,
Where shivering. grim hobgoblins Turk,
Just laugh to scorn their doleful cries
This is the place to whistle and sing;
Brush the fog from your fearless eyes,
And close to the faith of your fathers
cling.
When you stand at a Forrowful bit OF the
road,
And hand you loved has loosed Its clasp;
When streams are dry that in sweetness
flowed,
And flowers drop from your listlesS
grasp;
Zen now take heart. for further on
There are hope and Joy and the dawn Of
day;
You shall find again what you thought
was gone;
IT'S the merry heart goes all the way.
