nesota explorations have been made in the
Mesaba Range to discover the possibilities I
OF the reserve. The explorers satisfied
then selves that there is approximately
6OO,OO,WO tons OF ore still lying in that one
range. The significance Of these figures is.
the better appreciated when 1t Is understood
that 900 10000 tons Is nearly double the
combined shipments from all the northern
ranges OF the Lake Superior district since
1854.
Nobody is willing to admit that Min.
nesota's resources have been thoroughly
explored. Only In very recent years has
there been any serious attempt to take an
accounting of probable reserves in that
state. instead Of exhaustion OF the
known deposits It is more than likely that
discoveries of vast new beds will be made
Indeed the 800 100000 tons mentioned does
not take into the reckoning the known
hematitic deposits other than the red
variety. These deposits are not so high in
iron content. but they could be utilized II
the richer beds should give out.

There Is a difference of opinion as to the
reg Ilation and control of the hQuor busi-

OF the absolute prohibition Of the sale OF
Intoxicating drinks. while others believe
drinks should be sold under proper re-
strictions. Federal census statistics show
that a great majority OF the iron and steel
workers of the country are foreigners or

will handle 5000 900 tons OF ore annually
and will produce 2.500.OJ0 to 27OOOO tons
OF steel There are to be sixteen blast

George Washington. The wife of Law
renee Lewis was Nellie GUSTS, grand
daughter of Mrs. Martha Washington
and the adopted daughter of George
Washington.
The marriage of Nellie Gusts and
young Lewis was the social event of the
year 1899. The marriage took place in
the mansion house at Mount Vernon
on the birthday of Washington, and in
the year of his death Washington
gave to the couple tract of forest land
covering range of hills on the Mount
Vernon property two miles southwest
of the mansion house. Lewis PERSONAL
ly saw that a part of the woods were
cleared away. and in the clearing he
had erected the great house which he
called Woodlawn. The place passed to
Lorenzo Lewis at the death of his
mother, Nellie Custis Lewis, and by
him was sold in 1848 to two Quakers
from New Jersey. Chalkley Gillingham

Mr.. Gaines, of Tennessee, enleav-

that the bin was loaded with all kinds
of appropriations to take care OF and
suppress the mouth and foot disease.

away from the farmer the few seeds
that he every year looked forward
to receiving.
This new outburst of eloauence on
the part of Mr.. Gaines threw the
House into convuIsive laughter.
When the members bad partially re
covered their eomposure Mr.. Galnas
rushed down the aisle, carrying mass
OF manuscript in both hands. holding it
laloff. shouting that he had hundre q
OF letters from farmers favoring free
seeds.
As chairman Wadsworth reached out
his hand for them. Mr. Gaines laid
them on desk and began pull'~g from
the bunch various documents 1t
developed that among these "hun-
dreds'' of letters there were an unusu-
ally large portion of bills of various
sorts and other pub docs" that had
no relevancy to the seed question.
Again the members shrieked and
gathered in the aisle, forcing the
chairman to resort t. every parlia-
meutary expedient to secure order.
When the bill came up for vote
the free seeds were continued by a
vote of 153 to 50. A fight for the abol-
ishment of the free seed practice viii
continue. for it is believed that the
sending out Of the packages are Of no
practical benefit to the farming classes
of the country, and 1t is safe to say
that next years bill will find the APP
preparation for these seeds omitted
when it comes from the committee
and the probabilities are that by that
time a majority of the members of the
House will support the committee.
