"The Ely Miner, impelled by the
fact that the proposed forest reserve

campaign against the reckless segra-

Steel Passenger Coaches.

: 49,
It has been stated recSntly that an
order for 1900 steel passenger cars is
about to be placed by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. The Pennsylvania
railroad has withheld its order for
passenger equipment for next year I'M
till the feasibility of using steel pas
sengers cars could be thoroughly inves-
tigated. The decision to place this
enormous order was arrived last week
in Philadelphia in a conference be-
tween President A, j, Cassatt. Gener-
al Manager Atterbury, of the general
staff, A. w. Gibbs, general superin-
tendent of motive power, and Alexan-
der A. Vogt, mechanical engineer, of
Altoona. Mr.. Gibbs and Mr.. Vogt
were commissioned by General Man
ager Atterbury several weeks ago to
draft plans for the cars, and they
have just finished their work. 1t is
intended to use the steel cars on the
Pennsylvania roads many fast trains,
and their adoption will reduce the
possibility of fatalities in wrecks to
the minimum, as we'll as eliminate
the liability of telescoplng. The cost
of the proposed order is estimated at
about S5.000,00O
The first test of steel cars is being
made on the Long Island railroad a
line owned by the Pennsylvania rail-
road. The first of an order of 120 steel
cars has been received by this road,
and the cars are being tested by oper-
ating and transportation officials.
The cars for the Long Island road are
smaller than those intended to be
built for the Pennsylvania road, as
the former will be operated not only
in Long Island putin the New York.
subway. The cars to be built for the
Pennsylvania road will be entirely of
steel. This includes the floors, sides
and roofs. The cars on their interior
will be plainly but extensively equip
ped. There will be nothing about
them to be easily broken or catch fire
in the event of being wrecked. They
will weigh but little more than the
present wooden coaches in use on this
system. Severe tests have proven
that the steel cars cannot be tele-
scoped, and other tests show that they
cannot be broken on the sides, because

THANKSGIVING DAY
President Roosevelt Issues Pros
clamation Designating
Nov. 80.

By the president of the United
States of America:
.When nearly three centuries ago,
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re-
public, they confronted only hard
ships and priyations, but terrible risk
to their lives. In those grim years,
the custom grew Of setting apart of
one day in each year for a special SER
vice of thanksgiving to the Almighty
for preserving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom has
now become national and nallowed
immemorIal usage. We live in easier
and more plentiful times than our
forefathers. the men who with rugged
strength faced the days and yet the
dangers to national life are quite as
at any previous time in our history.
1t is eminently fitting that once
year our people set apart day for
prayer and thanksgiving to the giver
of good and at the same time that
they express their thankfulness for
the abundant mercies received, should
manfullY acknowledge their short
comlngs and place themselves solemn
ly aud earnestly in good faith to strive
to overcome them. During the past
year we have been blessed by bounti-
full crops.
Our business prosperity has been
great. No other people has stood on
high level of material wellbeing as
ours now stand. We are not threat
ened by foes from without. The foes
from whom we should praise to be de-
liVered are our own passions, appetites
and follies; and against these there is
always need that we should war.
Therefore. now set apart Thurs
day, the Both day of this November.
as a day Of thanksgiving for the
past and prayer for the future, and
on that day ask that throughout
the land the people gather in their
homes and places of worship and, in
rendering thanks unto the Most High
for the manifold blessing of tile past
year consecrate themselves to a life Of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom so that
this nation may do its allotted work
on the earth in a manner worthy of
those who founded it and those who
preserve it.
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington

year of our Lord, one thousand nine

States, the one hundreth and thirt-
ieth. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

tary of state.

1T is not alone bat these big area:
are reserved, bu incidentally they
shut off from setpement other large
areas which can oily be reached over
the segregated lads. When large
area is set apart { I forestry or other
purposes, this mems that no roads
will be built over - that no school
houses will be constructed upon it,
that it will pay No tilxes to help the
neighboring settlers in building up
their homes and making the wilder
ness blossom
"The Miner calls attention to the
curious inconsistency that while in
one Office at the state capitol, that of
state auditor, efforts are being put
forth to attract settlers, in another
office, that of the state fire warden,
equally strong efforts are being put
forth to tie up the development of
Northern Minnesota by setting apart
large areas for forestry purposes. One
Office is spending money to offset the
work of the other; one is using its eff
forts to build up, the other is working
to tear down.
"There can be ne objection to for
estry experiments. providing they do
not stand in tile Wy Of progress. AS
the Miner says, Minnesota needs more
settlers than it dos trees, and if for
estry reserves are tie up agricultur-

"ToMMY-ROI"
Is Article Regarding the County
Division as Given by
"Mining Man."

The appended article taken from
the Duluth Herald claiming to be a
dispatch from Eveleth, shows conclus.
lively how tue wind is blowing regard
ing the division of ST. Louis county
on the mining mans" weather yane.
No key to the reason why the mining
man" is opposed to the prospective
move is necessary, the pretext is all
too apparent. The item says:
IL the Western Federation of Min
ers continue to grow" said promi-
nent superintendent of a mine in this
territory, mot only will county divi-
sion be almost certain, but the great
iron mining interests Of Northern ST.
Louis county will be endangered
"This man, who is thoroughly famil-
lar with the situation, says that the
Federation is rapidly increasing in
membership, and that it is political
in character. openly declaring In favor
of socialism.
| 1t is known that there is consider
able foundation to what this mining
man says. The Western Federation of
Miners is subject to the organization
that caused so much trouble in Color
ado. Several of the men who were
banished from that state by the then
governor, are now working on the two
ranges, and intoxicating the doctrines
that resulted in the miners getting
possession Of the offices of many of the
Colorado counties. They have met
with considerable sdccess, particu-
larly among the English speaking
miners. The foreigners unable to talk
English have thus far been wary OF
the organization, but it is predicted
by the leaders that when these men
do come in it will be in body,
"The Federation fayors county di-
vision strongly" continued the min
ing superintendent, "and for a very
good reason. It is argued that if St.
Louis county is divided and Iron
county created it will be possible for
tue organization.tn--ca ntrol- the palis
tics of the new county. 1t will not
then be necessary to contend with the
vote Of Duluth. 1t is easy therefore,
to see the reason for the Federation
men being such declared county divi-
sionists. They cannot otherwise Sc
cure the political power desired. Be-
sides the fact that these men could
easily secure the official machinery of
the new county there is another
strong argument against division. 1t
is that the new county would be enc
of such great wealth that it would be
mark for the state board fixing the
assessment. In view Of these facts |
believe that the great iron industry of
northern st. Louis county is in SER
ious danger If county division occurs.
as such action almost certainly means
the placing in power of men with but
little knowledge Of business condi-
tions and necessities"
"All the papers on the two ranges
have declared for division and the
Virginia people are preparing to urge
the claim of their city to the county
seat. In view of this it is possible
that another effort at division will be
made before the proposed amendment
to the division law is secured, The
proposed amendment is in effect that
the choosing of a county seat is not
necessarily part of the division cleo
tion, or that all the towns having an
ambition for the honor can be consid-
cred a. the same election"

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
0iahaps on . British Battleship That Caused Fear Among
 the Crew.

While the British battleship Thur. derer was off Milford Haven, Wales, not long ago a curious accident to one of her guns caused much alarm among her crew. A target had been put out for practice with the ten-inch breechloading guns. When one was fired by electricity only portion of the projectile was discharged, the base plate of the shot and a portion of the frame being left in the. gun. When the plate was removed the pres- gre of gas forced . portion of the projectile from the breech of the gun On the second gun being fired hole about three inches in diameter was blown through the projectile. tho other part of the base plate being left behind The base plate was in this case separated from the rest of the projectile. 8Ge H <
 Such accidents are believed never previously to have occurred on board any ship. There was much alarm among those in the turret, as the bursting of tbe guns was for . time feared. It is suggested that either the powder in the projectiles was damp or there was water in the guns So far as can be seen both guns arr sound

 Sick Headache

When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous sys- tenn, centering in the brain.
 This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stOm- ach causes nausea, vomiting.
 This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epi- lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
 Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
 They stop the pain by sooth- ing, strengthening and reliev- ing the tension upon the nerves mot by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral, cocaine or similar drugs.
