That there is money in feeding cat
tie is clearly demonstrated by the
last bunch of steers fed by Capt. w.
S. A. Smith, at his feeding station,
situated just outside of Leeds, Iowa.
On a bunch of III head, after figur-
ing in every item of expense, he made
a net profit of s142s.70, or nearly $13
per head.
These cattle which netted Mr.. Smith
so much money were purchased last
November and were sold to Armour

pied by st. Thomas school, the Asso-
citation hall and club rooms. In July,
1903, the clearing Of the ground was
begun, and on November 1, the Feast
Of All Saints, the cornerstone was
laid. The building is 150x75 feet. The
exterior architecture Is according to
the Spanish school, and forms an at
tractive feature of the building, as it
is the first of its kind in Duluth.
There are three floors. The main or
entrance floor is devoted exclusively
to school use. It's eight large school
rooms are we'll patronized. On the
lower floor, a spacious hall is fitted up
for the meeting of societies. The
gymnasium and billiard room also on
this floor, are furnished with splen-
did equipments. There is also IL
brary room and a kitchen. The first
corner room is handsomely furnished
and ds used only by members Of the
Bishops Club. With the exception
Of the two school rooms, the entire
third floor forms the auditorium, in
Guiding stage dressing rooms, etc.
The body Of the large hall is built in
a semi-circle, with a seating capacity
of 1900. Several beautiful scenery
changes form part Of the stage equip
ment. Altogether this magnificent
structure, besides adding to the
beauties of the city, entirely fulfills
many long-felt wants; and it stands
as tribute Of honor to those who
nobly put their shoulders to the task
of erecting.

been appointed vicar general for this

Among the many monuments erect

forcibly than ST. James Orphanage.
The building was gift to the Sisters
from Mrs. p. J. Kerst and at present
contains some 23O children. Mention
must also be made of beautiful St.
Mary's hospital, which was erected in
1897 at cost of over $1,000.

Growth Of Catholcity in the Diocese of Duluth :?


In the beginning the number Of
Catholics was comparatively few. In
1870 there were only about two dozen
Catholic families in Duluth. Owing
to the great zeal and energy of the
early missionaries, Catholicity kept
pace with the growth of the city. In
the beginning of Bishop McGolrick's
episcopate there We're few parishes
and priests outside Duluth, the prin
cipal parishes being those Of Brainerd,
Hinckley. GAINESVILLE, Moorhead. De.
troit Red Lake Falls. Gentilly,
Crookston and Argyle, Tower. Cloquet
and Terrebonne. The diocese was
formerly a part Of the vicariate of st.
Cloud, under the jurisdiction of the
RI Rev. r. Seidenbusch, d. D. At the
time Of its erection it had a Catholic
population of about $4,000. There
were twenty priests in all: fifteen d.

Johns and ST. Clements churches.
The pro-Cathedral, a frame structure,
poorly furnished together with the
episcopal residence adjoining, was
destroyed by fire July 2, 1892. APP
peals were made to the general pub
lie to assist in the erection Of new
pro-Cathedral and episcopal residence,
and for a while progress was slow,
but the perseverance characteristic Of
the bishop eventually gave to Duluth
one Of the most imposing churches in
the country. With beautiful and i'm

pacity, stage, scenery, seats, etc., ten
large school rooms with complete fur
nishings and large meeting halls and
club rooms; and eight lots on both
sides of the street, may be easily es-
timated at a value of 100000, with
comparatively small Indebtedness.
AS previously mentioned, the do
cese Of Duluth was established in
1889, and comprises the counties of
Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami Carlton,
Cass, Clay, Cook, Grow Wing, Hub
bard, Itasca, Kittson. Lake. Marshall,
Norman, Pine. Polk, Roseau. Red Lake
and st. Louis, aggregating 39,439
square miles. This immense area can
best be understood by comparison.
The diocese of Duluth with a Cath
Ollie population Of about $4,000, con-
tains more than three times as many
square miles as the state of Rhode
Island. Besides Bishop McGolrick
there are SO diocesan priests and 81
priests of religious orders, making in
all 81 priests whose duty it is to min
lister to the spiritual wants of peo-
pie scattered over 10 different coun-
ties. There are A churches with res
ident priest, sc missions with
churches, so stations an1 IA chapels.
One academy for young ladies con-
tains 220 pupils, and 10 parishes hav-
ing parochial schools accommodating
1000 pupils. There are two Indian
schools with daily attendance of
over 200; three orphan asylums and
six hospitals. Comparing this sum-
mary with the number Of churches,
schools, hospitals, etc., in the dioceses
Of Duluth when Bishop McGolrick
took charge in 1889, faint idea can
be formed Of what the bishop has ac-
complished in sixteen years Of his
episcopate.
Before closing this review of the
diocese of Duluth 1t is we'll that some
mention be made Of one who in the
early days Of Catholic teaching in
northeastern Minnesota did his share
in the cause of religion, Rt. Rev.
Monsignor Joseph F. Buh of Ely.
Monsignor Buh is one of the most
interesting and lovable men N Min
nesota, and is the vicar general of the
diocese. His long life-for he is now
~ years Of age-has been in large
part one Of privation and hardship,
in the cause of Christianity. This
man has a wonderful Influence for
good over the Austrian miners of the
Vermilion and Mesaba ranges.
Joseph F. Buh was born March II,
1888, in Austria. He came to Mime
sofa in 1854, and was appointed mis-
sionary by Bishop Grace, then bishop
of the diocese of Minnesota. He was
assigned to the territory of the Cass
Lake region. Father Buh had the US
ual experiences of the missionary who

During 1873 and 1874. Father Buh
was resident priest in charge of the
Catholic church that formerly stood
where the Cathedral now stands. He
then returned to the Chippewa coun-
try, and in 1888, when the Duluth &
Iron Range road was built, he went
to Tower and later to Ely. He has
conducted services much of the time
at both places. The self-denial and
consistent and enthusiastic work of

When those who knew Bishop Nc
Golrick as Father McGolrick Of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
in Minneapolis, see what he has ac-
complished since he went to the Ze-
NTH City, is it any wonder that their
hearts within them swell with pride?
While they recall the sad parting with
him some years ago and wished then
that another was selected, they thank
God for the wise selection made, and
ever pray that many years may be
granted him to carry on the good
work he is so well fitted to do.

Must Reinforce Pacific Districts.

St Petersburg, Jan. 10.-The Russ
today confirmed the report that the
first division of the third Pacific
squadron will leave Libau the end of
January, and consist of four warships,
one cruiser and several torpedo boats
and destroyers.
The Novoe Vremya today urged the
immediate reinforcement of Vladivos-
tok. the island of Sakhalien and Kam-
schatka. The two latter districts are
hard to defend on account of their
scant population, but both are rich in
minerals and other resources and are
especially tempting to the Japanese,
to whose scheme of national eXpan-
sion they are necessary.
