! Few cities surpass Duluth In the
way of metropolitan facilities. She is

of the word; street railways, tele-
phones, electric lights, water works,
banking and hotel accommodations,
etc., all of the very best and latest i'm
proved, comparing favorably with
cities Of twice it's size. These have
constituted an attraction which has
caused the location of many business

this city.

to build up and develop our country
as has the building Of railroads.
These great Industrial pioneers have
carried wealth and prosperity wher-
ever they have gone and have made
possible the creation of happy homes
and communities. Pushing their way
into sections, which, but for their en-
terpr1se would have remained unde-
veloped and in state Of nature, they
have been largely instrumental in re-
llev1ng the congestion in the large cit

cure their own homes and industrial
independence. This has served a.
double purpose, not only bringing in
dependence and happiness to those
who would otherwise come in compett-

This road furnishes the quickest arid

Mountain Iron, Hibbing and all points
On the famous Missabe Range. Pas
senger trains arrive at and depart

Inc past quarter Of a century has

expansion. In no line has the advance

way facilities.
one factor that has done more than
any other to give all things to Duluth
ana to place her In the proud position
winch she now occupies is the rail-
roads. Among these none is worthy
OF more honorab bic mention than the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern Railway.
The kind and courteous attitude
which the officers of the road have
always maintained toward their force
OF employees, and the general public IS
worthy Of special mention, and this is
largely responsible for the amiable
disposition and courteous manner Of
every employe throughout their sys-
tenn.

est degree, and guarantee that all will
be given most excellent service when
they have dealings with the Duluth.

Gus and social development much re-
tarded
Nothing has been more wonderful
than the strides made in railroad facil-
tiles in the last quarter Of a century,
and one Of the greatest factors in the
development Of the country west and
northwest has been the Duluth & Iron
Range Railroad. The country adjacent
to the Duluth & Iron Range Railroad
possess unr1valed attractions for the
investor and sportsman, and for a
most pleasant outing at the many
Fascinating resorts along the line.
There are unlimited opportunities for
the investor or home seeker to make
very profitable investments or find for
themselves a spot where they can cre-
ate home where they will be free
from the uncertainties of city life. TO
the home-seeker the Duluth & Iron
Range Railroad offers every advantage.
The courtesy of all officials, the SER
vice given, and the care and attention
shown the patrons Of this line have
been the source of its constantly in
creas1ng volume Of business and the
popular favor in which it is held. It
is a pleasing fact that the officials Of
this enterprise are held in the highest
esteem by their large force of en-
ployes, and that everywhere the Du-
luth Iron Range railroad is held in
the highest favor.
A line Of this kind which gives en-
ployment to so many men and offers
excellent service to our people, is
doing the section Of country through
which 1t runs a great and important
service. and is deserving Of the hearty
support and endorsement and patron
age OF all people. The railroad con-
nect1ons are an important factor in
the prominence and prestige of our
city and add materially to the business
and prosperity Of the workingmen of
the c1ty's population. The Duluth &
Iron Range Railroad has especially ia
Vored this section Of our state, and
gives employment to very large force
OF our citizens, and should receive the
support and patronage Of our people.

1t is we'll known fact that organ
lied labor IS not slow in recognizing
friends and there is no concern in
our city that is more worthy of honor
able mention because of its friendly
attitude towards labor than the Pitts
burg Steamship company.
In these days Of immense concerns
With millions of capital the outgrowth
OF the spirit Of concentration Of the
time, 1t Is pleasing to note that labor
goes hand in hand with capital. When
the employer has confidence in en-.
ploye and the employe trusts the en-
ployer, and both work for the common
good, 1t Is a sign that the day Of the
strike has passed.
IN this city there are number of
large employers who have the confd-
ence OF their employees and who work
with them in harmony at all times
One Of these is the Pittsburg Steam
snip company, which employs large
1orce. We know. Judging from their
treatment OF employees In the past the
oHlcers of this corporation will not
only deal conscientiously with the
public, but will be fair and inst to
their employees at all times.
confidence on both sides is essential
TO industrial progress and nrosner,t,,

icles to the labor press, but none car
ries with 1t such lesson for us all
as does the following article on Ma
chine and character building:
Without looking at the signature,
I could always tel! when was in the
machine shop, whether the drawing
was made by Schmidt, Reid. or Spolk-
haven. the three draughtsmen who
Gid the work for my department.
There was an individually about each
drawing which was peculiar to the
man who had worked out the Details
The draughtsman was given the
largest liberty in the matter of the
general! form CT the machine which
he was designing, and he had a. fine
opportunity of stamping 1t with his
ideal Of just what that finished ma
chine sould be like.
And yet, every machine that was
designed was constructed upon one
or moro Of these mechanical principles
the lever, the wedge, the screw, the
pulley, the inclined plane, the wheel
and axle. Never yet was there a.
successful machine built unless it was
built with these mechanical powers as
q basis.
In making our life's plans, we too
are given considerable liberty. Where
we shall work and what we shall
work at, are matters which we gen.
orally decide for ourselves. There are
exceptions, Of course, but as a usual
thing, we have the decision in our own
hands. And whatever the work NAV
be, 1t will always bear the impression
Of our own personalities. The worker
in wood, or iron. or stone, the mani
pulatOr of leather or Of cloth-no
matter what may be ones occuDation
even, when 1t is the running Of a ma
chine, somehow or somewhere in the
job, puts something Of himself into
it. Every workman knows how true
this Is. The tool-marks are always
there.
But while we are given liberty and
this opportunity Of working out our
ideas and our Ideals, truo success can
be secured only as our plans are de-
pendent upon the operation of certain
defined principles. Honor and in
tegrity are the foundation stones OF
real power. and no man can rob us
Of these. Men may take away our
regulations. but our characters arc
ours forever. Reputation is what
others give us. Character is what rro
make for ourselves.
II what l have said Is true Of the
machine, If ono cannot construct even
an engine without the observance Of
5nexorable law, is 1t reasonable to sup
pose that a man can be built hap
hazard, or of scrap pile material?
What fool the machinist would be If
he went to that scrap-hcap in the
