those who, forgetting all save love for
country, enlisted in the war for the
| preservation of the Union. True an
Icestor worship-this tribute from
grateful. loving children to the heroic
forefathers who fought to preserve to
their heirs land free from incumb-
rance, and who wrote their last tesla
ment with their own blood that all
the world might read. In the great
family struggle Minnesota played no
fedgling part. The first state to offer
her sons for tile sacrifice and the last
to withdraw them from service, her
story is written in the language of
Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Mission
Ridge, Nashville, Vicksburg, and a
hundred other battles where valor
and courage made heroes of men.
Those who rest beneath the mounds
in the north and south can no longer
tell OF their deeds, but the mound is
in itself a story of patriotism, love
and sacrifice. And it is to these
mounds that we are privileged to go
on Memorial day and by floral and
other decorations show our reverence
and affection for the heroes Of the
nation. It is therefore taken for
granted that no unnecessary labor
will be performed on this day of nal-
lowed memories, either In the nome
or business world, and all citizens of
the state are urged to lay aside their
cares and duties for that day and
generally join in due observance Of
the customs which prevail; to find
some form for showing veqeration;
to express some tender thought for
the departed. The dropping flag, the
evergreen, the flowers Of the field,
should become proper symbols, typi-
flying the resurrection of the body.
and all of these we may find at hand
to express the gentler emotions of the
heart and soul. The race Of heroes
has not become extinct. The passing
of the soldier of 1851 is at hand, but
the records of Santiago and Manila
remind us and bear noble testimony
that at any call to duty, American
sons quickly respond, testifying that
neroism and patriotism are impe'ish-
able. Let US, then. with one accord
gather together, with unity Of spirit,
with one purpose and without stint do
homage at the shrine of the departed
heroes III ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS snus 4fonur'

sacred duty.

ORE SHIPMENTS FOR 1905.
Estimate 10000. ooorons as Lake
DistrictI Share.

Lake navigation fairly opened in
force and the arrival OF ore at lower
lake ports is expected to be very heavy
this month.
There is scarcity of ore at many
furnaces and the surplus stocks at
ports are running low. Because OF
the demand for iron and steel from
all quarters it is expected that this
seasons ore shipments will be record
breakers.
Estimates of 10000, 900 tons of lake
ore as the maximum likely to be
brought down for this season are con-
sidered Conservative. The highest
total ever reached heretofore was in
1902, when q, ST., 12Mons were brought
down from the Lake superior region.
This year the UAted States Steel
corporation has largely increased the
capacity of its lake gre fleet, but much
of the new tonnage viii be available
for less than one-haN of the season,
so that it is not to he counted on in
estimating shipments for the first
part of the season.
In the season OF 1902, when the
cargo capacity of tie lake ore fleets
was utilized to the maximum for the
entire navigable eason; less than
%, 900, 900 tons were brought down and
it is considered DOUBTFUL if that high
mark can be greatly exceeded this
year.
II the various lalN ore shippers sue
coed in getting 100000 tons to
lower lake ports Soebre the close of
navigation, it wisll considered an
excellent record. Nturally the I'm
tied States Steel Ncoloration will be
the largest shippefr;
L-ulLts.lakAasa.sAit sa .faR-ths..last.
three years compare n follows: 1904,
l0,503, 0S7 tons; 1908. 15,363, 355 tons;
1902, 1908, 179. The Steel corpora
tion's ore production last year was
4, 1850 26S tons below that of 1903 and
4,56O,09 tons below the high mark of
1902.
If the Steel corporations ore fleet
this season brings down 1900, 900
tons, it will exceed the expectations
of the management.
The present prices OF ore include
Old Range at 1886 to $500 per ton;
Mesaba Bessemer, 1895 to $3.73 per
ton; Old Range non-Bessemers, s3.65
to s3.45 per ton; Mesaba non-Besse-
mers 1920 per ton.
The ore shipments this month are
expected to be very large. There is a
heavy demand for ore at lower lake
ports and many furnaces will be COM
PEELED to go out of blast if their ore
supplies are not soon replenIshed.

To OPEN.
The Anderson Mine to be Again
Worked Soon.

Word has been received here that
negotiations been completed by re-
sponsible parties whose names are
not as yet to be divulged, towards
the resumption of exploratory work
at the Anderson mine and surround
ing territory. 1t is also said that
considerable more property had been
acquired by the parties interested and
that this latter phaze to the matter
had been the chief incentive towards
beginning work.
The Anderson mine was worked
during the early nineties and shaft
had been sunk to a depth of oyer 200
feet with excellent results. The
slump in iron which came in 1893 put
a stop to further work at this prop
erty the same as at many others and
the entire machinery and equipment
were gotten rid of. At that time
those interested were Col. Gridley,
Jas. T. Hale and G. p. Maginnis of
Duluth and several in this city. Capt.
Jas. Bale was in charge of the work.
Those in position to know feel that
work on this property will develop
something more than prospect.

THE TRACK MEET.
Ely High School Team Best the
Virginia Team Saturday.

/
tween the Ely and Virginia boys Sat-
urday at the ball.park was somewhat
of a ''kirmess'' for the Ely boys.
The Virginia team and several ad-
mirers arrived on Friday evenings
train and were met at the depot by
about 400 pupils of the Ely schools
who gave their lungs violent exercise
and welcomed the visitors with gusto.
The members of the visiting team
and their accompanying friends were
escorted to the various places appoint
ed for their entertainment.
At nine o'clock the following morn
ing the boys sought the ball grounds
to begin the list of events and the
contests were barely finished in time
to allow the visitors to have lunch
and depart on the afternoons train.
The contests were based on points.
the first counting five, second three
and third, one. When the final score
was figured. it was found that the
Ely boys had captured 6S points to
Virginia's So. The various events
were pulled off without hitch and
much credit is due all for the gentle
manly manner the affair was con-
Quoted. The attendance was large
one and all were satisfied with the
exhibition.
The Virginia boys made many
friends while here and at the train
upon their departure to which they
were escorted by almost the entire
school, many wishes were expressed
that all would again soon meet. Dur
ing the progress of the relay race,
Arthur Toms was quite severely in
jured but is now rapidly recovering.
The young men representing the
Ely High School were Tom Harri,

The foster keeper of the dog ap.
peared, and in language, emphatic aud
ringing, demanded the meaning of the
surreptitious taking away of the AMI.
NAL. He talked fast, and he used his
arms with about as much force as his
voice. The passengers shuddered, but
the man had the dog safely in the ear,
and the gestulations and ordinations
of the outsider went unheeded.
There were threats Of arrest and 9th
er things equally as interesting, and
there may be something doing in the
police court ere long. The 18th street
man claims that he purchased the dog
from a local street evangelist, but the
original owner has IL now safely housed,
and says that he heard once upon a
time that possession was nine points OF
the law.

STRAY
DOG WAS
CAUSE

Passengers on an Asylum car were
treated to little diversion out on Che
meketa street Monday morning, and
for time, the spectators believed they
would witness bout a Ia Joffries, but
it did not materialize.
A small fox terrier dog was the real
bone of contention, and the little pet
did not realize how close it was to
the scene of a real live battle.
The trouble started about two weeks
ago, when a Commercial street man
lost the dog. 1t was family pet and
was a present to his little son from a
friends. The pup turned up missing,
and although the owner searched every
nook and corner of the town it was in
vain, and he reconeiled himself to his
fate, and was getting ready to shed his
mourning garments.
A morning ride to the asylum with n
friend was suggested, not in quest of
the missing canine, but just to see the
sights. Imagine his surprise when out
almost at the end of Chemeketa street
he discovered the dog romping in
yard. He continued his journey to the
end of the line, and there procured
witness who knew the dog.
The two came down on the car, and
when within hailing distance of the
terrier called him by his family name.
The little fellow made rapid tracks for
the car, and was soon in the arms of
his master. Then the fun commenced.
