War on Gambling.

War on Gam ping.
A determined effort has been made by
the police to break up gambling, which Is
the national vice of the Filipino nation, and
a gang of American adventures has given
them great deal of trouble Their leader
was California desperate who defied the
authorities and successfully conducted sew
eral gambling houses in different parts of
the city, where not only natives but Ameri-
cans, soldiers and civil employees of the
government lost considerable money. Dur
ing the last year the crusade against him
and his associates has been kept up with
out tagging until he has been driven from
the country and. with his associates. has
jumped bail to avoid serving term of i'm
prisonment. He is now supposed TO be IN
Hong Kong Shanghai or one of the other
cities on the Chinese coast.
In order to suppress the vice raid was
made every time gambling house was
located: 1904 persons were captured. III
games were broken up, and 1.Sf persons
were tried In the police courts. This natu-
rally increased the total of cases tried be-
yond what they would have been under
ordinary circumstances. leaving the follow
ing cases of what may be properly termed
as crimes:

HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA. By Henry William Elson author
of Side Lights American History" &c.
New York: The Macmillan Company Wash
ington: Brentano's.
Mr.. Elson's undertaking has been to write
history of the United States in a single
volume which would be complete without
being cumbersome and compact without be-
ing utterly devoid of literary style He has
sought to present an accurate nara tive of
the origin and growth of the country and
its institutions in such a form as to inter
est the general reader. His book is indeed
readable and entertaining. 1t tells the IA
mliar story with grace and finish, and yet
in good proportion. He brings his account
of the national development to the very
present, closing his volume with a recital
of the circumstances of the final selection
of the Panama route for the iSthmian
canal His account of the events within
the recent memory is fair and unprecedented
giving both sides of the controversies that
have lately ragged in our politics and setting
forth what appears to him. as historian, as
the net result of the national Judgment.
The work is not illustrated, save by maps
of which there are eight of ful-page size in
colors and twenty-siX smaller ones in the
text.

great that only a small part OF this
could be supplied. Every discharged sol

houses opened up one or more. At the

saloon keepers came to the islands and
opened up. The city al this time was under
martial law. and the saloons were con-
trolled by the provost marshal general until

ASSESSORS BEGIN.

Forty assessors began work Monday
assessing both the real and personal
property of the county. There are
40 assessment districts in st. Louis
county and one man will do the
work in each district.
They are allowed two months in
which to cover the territory assigned
to them. beginning the first of MAY
and continuing until the first of July.
They are compelled to return the
books to the county auditor on or
before July 1.
The board of reviews in the differ

meets on June q to look over the as
sessments and to hear complaints.
After this board passes on the figures,

June 30th the Date.

The Republican State Con-
vention will be held in st. Paul
on June 80. The supporters of Du-
luth as the place for holding the con-
vention made strong fight but were
out-yOted II to 10. The basis of re.
presentation will be the Mckinley
vote of 1900 and st. Louis county is
entitled to 81 delegates in convent
ion of 1044. The failure of Duluth to
capture the convention is attributed
to the Collins supporters who threw
their entire strength to St. Paul.

Much Land Being Taken.

There is every indication that the
demand for government land in the
northern part Of the state will be
unusually large this year. Much in
quiry is daily being made concerning
lands which are to be thrown open
to settlement and filings are steadily
being made on lands which have been
opened. This week several from this
city have gone to the Little Fork
country in charge of Patrick Greaney
OF Tower for the purpose of taking up
claims. The present slump in the
labor market in this vicinity is quite
an incentive for the taking of land.

Owing to the lack of room for stock
piling the Zenith mine closed Monday
evening until shipments start and
relieve the congestion. The closing
affects about $50 men and is another
blow on top Of what we already have.

will also close before the end of the
week for the same reasons-lack of
stockpile room. This will affect an
other $50 men.

Too Much Palaver.

Since the recent unpleasantness in
this city. the Duluth dailies have
been indulging in altogether too
much palaver regarding the existing
state of affairs. While the outlook is
not the most cheerful that can be
imagined as far as the business men
are concerned no very serious results
are anticipated as it is confidently
expected matters will shape them
selves more satisfactorily within a
short time. The loss of the monthly
payday, amounting to about 100000
will be felt for some time to come
however.

says the Tower News that the Walsh
Mining company, of which he is pre-
sident, will, within short time begin
eXplo Grafton work on their properties
near that city, and expect to put no
less than two and possibly three dia-
mond drills to work. The company,
which was organized only recently,
owns 800 acres of land within a few
miles of Tower but it is their inten-
tion to first explore the Walsh claim
described as lots 3 and 4 and the ST of
nw4 of section 4, township 61-15, as
the indications of iron there are said
to be more pronounced.
That a body Of ore exists on this
property is we'll known. Last sum-
mer while clearing ground for mea-
dow, iron was accidentally discovered
under few inches of moss and mould.
Stripping the showing, two men in
three days time uncovered a forma-
tion 240 feet wide. How much wider
it is will not be known until further
exploration work is done, for neither
wall has yet been found. The men,
bers of the company are certain they
will be able to open mine as they
are backed by all the capital neces-
sary and they hope to be shipping ore
by next season. This will mean a
deal to Tower and everyone is anxious
to see the company begin.

THE IRON MARKET.
Rather Quiet Still Output in Some
Lines Great.

The Lake ore interests made good
progress, says the Iron Age, in their
efforts TO save the ore association, the
negotiations thus far having led to the
adoption of a schedule of prices on
basis 1925 per ton for old range
bessemer, differential, therefore, of
only % cents per ton.
Last year the price was $3.50, while
for the preceding season it was S2.45.
The question of tonnage and allot-
ments was taken up at the
meeting at Cleveland, May 3. Some of
the producing interests which sell in.
the open market. insist that allot-
ment shall apply both to the tonnage
which go to the plants owned by the
large steel companies and to the ton
mage which is to be sold in the open
market.
1t is estimated that less than 3,000,-
900 tons in all are to be sold, while the
stock now on hand at lower lake ports
and at furnaces is about 6, 900, 900 tons
It is figured out that less than $4,000
900 need be brought down for the COM
ing season to the spring of 1905.
The Bessemer pig iron market is ex-
ceedingly quiet and in the Pittsburg
district iron is offered freely for May
delivery at Sl3 at furnace. while basic
is offered freely at s12,75.
There is no truth in the report that
the United States Steel corporation
have purchased any Bessemer pig dur
ing the past week for May delivery.
We understand that the corporation
is now producing pig iron at the rate
of IT'S. 900 tons per week, or more than
ever before in its history.
From nearly all the main distribute
ing markets comes the complaint of
dizziness in pig iron but with little &C
tual pressure to sell. By the middle
of this month, however, the question
of covering requirements for the
greater part of the third quarter will
come up seriously. Until then there
will be little more than maneuvering.
Some irregularity has resulted in the
central west from cut in the freight
rates ranging between 10 and 20 cents
on southern pig iron to points north
of the Ohio river.
The contract for the first lot of cast
ings for the Pennsylvania tunnel has
not yet been placed. Some leading
founders have practically withdrawn,
because they decline to meet the prices
which it is intimated have been
named. Rumor has it that 1927 net
ton for the finished tunnel sections
has been bid.
The cast iron pipe trade is quite
busy. Among the larger work which
is being figured on is $4,000 tons for
Cincinnati.
Employment in the heavier lines of
finished iron and steel continues light,
and yet the tonnage of steel which
goes into consumption is enormous.
1t is stated that the leading interest
is producing from 1S5, ZOO to $4,000
tons of ingots per week, against re-
cord in the boom days of rail- plate
and beam consumption of 216 900 tons
in one week. This is due to the en-
ormous demand in the lighter pro-
ducts. Wire has had' some record
months lately, and even though it is
pretty sure to fall off, now that the
spring demand is drawing to close,
it Will take full work for two months

TERMS


The election Is over and from re-
suits our friends the republicans
helped themselves to everything in
sight they wanted. The victory
was SO complete that it was not
worth growing over and all inter
est has already ceased.
AS 30 cause and effect, most every
one can give the clear and correct
solution and no two agree.
But defeat is not humiliation, and
from the experience OF the past can
be secured lessons for the future; and
weak indeed is he who from a loss
retreats broken. As the principles
OF democracy have not changed. nor
the issues for witch we fought be-,
come ,nctamorphised through de-
feat, 1t is a democrats duty to grid
up his loins for harder fight than
ever.
we congratulate the republicans
on their victory and Know that their
candidates are well worthy the

serve in their respective offices to the
best interests OF their constituents.
