IRON AND STEEL OUTLOOK.


Pig Markets Buoyant-Stsady Move
msnt in Foreign Iron.
The Iron Age today says:
Pig iron markets are buoyant and prices
are advancing. both for domestic and for
eign irons. Some good sales are still being
made for delivery during the FIRST half Of
1907 ana inquiries are now appearing In In
creasfng volume and IN improving charac-
ter for delivery during the second half OF
the year. in spite OF the present high level
The ma ority Of sellers decline to commit
themselves SO far ahead.
Foreign iron is coming into tidewater
markets steadily, and In the case Of scotch
makers brands 1t is now difcult to secure
Tor shipment prior to the middle of Janu-
airy. Scarcity Of bessemer pig II very pro-
nounced. and Is most keenly felt In the
malleable iron industry. where some large
Inquiries are at hand Big steel makers
worry along as best they may. Recently
pig iron has been shipped from the Chicago
plants Of the Steel Corporation and works
In the valleys and Pittsburg to help out.
This Is reversing the movement which took
place earlier In the year.
CLEVELAND. November 29.-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
Many pig iron buyers are showing dis
satisfaction with present conditions both as
to prices and deliveries. The exceedingly
retarded Shipments, especially from the
SoutH, are exdSperatlng, ana the Oner1ng or
spot iron at high prices has not tended to
mollify the feelings of purchasers having
contracts on which little iron is being de-
livered.
This feeling has found expression in the
general tendency toward caution in placing
contracts for northern irons for the second
half of the year and for southern iron for
the second quarter, and also in the action
OF the International Harvester Company in
purchasing $500 tons of Scotch and Eng
lish iron for use in the manufacture of ma
chinery for exporting. which the draw
back privilege will be exercised, making the
delivered cost several dollars below that of
American iron.
The same company will make further pur-
chases. and its policy may be followed by
other manufacturers who engage in export
business. Sellers of pig iron insist that
they are doing their utmost to make deliv-
cries and that the railroad service was
never so poor as it has been recently They
say that shippers are king every possible
EFFORT to expedite the movement of freight
cars. The car shortage Is being keenly felt
by many mills as well as by the furnaces.
There is serious congestion in the Pittsburg
and youngstown district and manufacturers
are notifying their customers that they may
expect very slow deliveries.

ATTIRE FOR HUNTERS.
Lumberjack's Clothes Best for Shoot
ing in the Northern Woods.

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
Now that the big game hunting season
will soon be here. many of the hunters who
have arranged to go out Into the wilds OF
northern Minnesota In search of the mon
arch of the forest are undecided on the
question Of .'how and what to wear
The covering for the feet is perhaps the
most important. The writer finds that rub
bers such as are worn by the lumberjacks
in winter are about as good as anything
that can be secured to go hunting in. One
can buy them as plain rubbers. coming only
to the ankles. or with varying lengths Of
leather attached to the tops. which will
reach from a little above the ankles all the
way to the knees. according to the kind pur-
chased. Those with about eight-inch tops.
reaching a little above the ankles, seem to
be the most favored.
With them one Is not supposed to wear
any shoes. Over his ordinary hose he puts
pair Of those heavy woodsman socks.
which keep his feet as warm as toast on a
cold fall or winter day. The rubbers with
the leather tops offer a waterproof covering
for the feet, and the eight-nch tops are
high enough to keep all water one is apt to
get into from coming over the tops. The
best feature about them Is that they are
very light. Leather boots are altogether too
heavy for the woods. Some they tire in one
or two or three hours walk, and one can
cover many times the distance by wearing
rubbers. Another very good feature is that
they are about as noiseless as anything q
person could get
Leather boots make a big racket when
one Is going through the bush. Moccasins
are no good for hunting unless snow covers
the ground and cold weather prevails. 9th
erwise they get wet too easily. For deer
hunting in November they are a very poor
article. They are not waterproof. and IL
they get good and wet they will stretch all
out Of shape. They are also apt to make a

the forest he can feel the sticks and stumps

Do not wear corduroy clothes. good
many men make the great mistake of wear
ing them. This material is not very good.
It is all right so long as 1t doesn't rain, but
there is nothing in the world quite so disa-
greeable as wet corduroy. 1t works up into
a sort of pulp, and after one has been in a
rain for ten fifteen minutes the sports
man begins to wonder why he bought such
a garment One objection to canvas coats
is that brush makes lot of noise striking
against them. They keep out the water.
however Another objection is that they
usually are just the color Of a deer. and in
crease the chances of the owner being mis-
taken for deer

For Those Who Would Be Strong.

Everybody seeks health nowadays, al
though all are not successful in finding It.
At the same time. the amount of care
which most Of US take must surely have
some effect on the longevity of the race,
and certainly the average age does seem
to be increasing.
The following rules issued by the New
York board Of health for the guidance Of

as nearly as possible by all Of US:
Never sleep or stay In a close room.
When indoors remain In the sunniest

Valley Railroad Of Virginia.

BALTIMORE, November 2g-The efforts
of some city officials to have the Baltimore
and Ohio acquire that part OF the Valley
railroad from Strasburg to Harrisonburg
seem to meet with little encouragement
from the railroad management. This part
of the Valley line was sold to the Southern
railway when the Baltimore and Ohio was
in the hands of receivers. and has since
been operated by IT. The Baltimore and
Ohio has a traffic agreement by which its
trains from Harpers Ferry to Lexington
use it. The arrangement, however, gives
the Southern railway the precedence, as
it actually owns the connecting link.

OPPOSE NEW SPELLING
NEW YORK BOARD or EDUCATION
HOSTILE TO REFORM.

NEW. YORK, November 29.-Simplified
spelling had few advocates in the board OF
education yesterday. It was voted that the
new spelling (which the board Of superin-
tendents had recommended) should not be
introduced into the pubic schools. The ad-
verse report OF the committee on studies was
before the board. Chairman Jonas OF the
committee said that In his opinion no form
Of words should be used In the public
schools except such as had the standing of
established usage.
I'VE had a public hearing and the
committee was not favorably impressed
by the arguments advanced In behalf Of the
! new spelling" he said. Chief Of these advo-
Gates was Brander Matthews.
John Greene. who first introduced the sub
5ect before the board. said: IT am unwilling
that the resolution here should give the Inn
preston through Misunderstanding of our
action that the board of education stands
In opposition to improving the spelling
which now prevails. I move that the words
at present be put between not and 'ap-
proved In the resolution that the recon-
mendation Of the superintendents be not ap-
proved. and the addition that the committee
ON studies does not wish to be understood
as passing on the question of the simpafca-
ton of spelling in the abstract"
Alrick H. Man suggested that the matter
De sent back to the board superintendent
for further. consideration, SO that they could
clip out some of the reformed words against
which there were objections.
IF any member of this board wants to
spell in the new style as an Individual, why.
let him do So" said Abraham Stern. THE
public don't care a pinch of snuff how any
memDer here spells his words. 1t is an
olner thing for this board to sanction the
use of the words in their new clothes in the
public schools. I don't think we should go
on record as approving the innovation. The
school children don't want it."
City Superintendent Maxwell said the
board of superintendent had not taken up
the matter of its own initiative. 1t had
been referred to 1t for a report.
1T was not intended to force the simple
spelling on the schools" he said. The sim
pie meaning was that If any child should
spell the words as recommended by the SIM
plified spelling board 1t should not be held
as wrong spelling" He argued in favor OF
the simple spelling.
IT am assured" he said, that teachers
and all others in the country engaged in ed
ucational work are in favor of this simplifi-
cation. I would regret II the board of edu-
cation of this city disapproved what means
so much for the city and for the world In
general"
Il differ with the city superintendent in
regard to teachers and principals of schools
Jones. Il have received many letters from
them expressing disapprobation Of the new
scheme. They say they are glad the board
of education is not going to put simpltfed
spelling in the schools"
Mr.. Greene's amendment was put to
vote and lost, 81 to 4. The resolution was
then carried.

DANIEL wEBsrER's MISTAKE.
Said Territory West Of Rockies Was
Not Worth a Copper. ~

From the Sunset Magazine.
Arriving there, after his ride of thres
thousand miles across the continent. DR.
Whitman Immediately sought Secretary OF
State Daniel Webster. He described to him
the vast empire lying west of the CONT
mental divide. the Columbia river, with its
magnificent forests aud it's valleys second
to none in the world in their fertility and
beauty.
He told him clearly and graphically of
the land whence he had come What was
the reply that he received?
Taking from his pocket a two-cent piece,
Webster balanced 1t on his foref1nger and
answered that he would not give it for all
the territory to the west of the Rocky
mountains: that the United States embraced
then more territory than they could prop
erly care for; that they held more Indians
already than they could properly look after;
that 1t would cost more to fortify the west
ern coast of the Pacific and the Great
Western Desert" than they would ever be
worth; that he understood the Rocky noun
tains were an almost impossible barrier
DIR. Whitman assured him that with hts
wife and companions he had gone In q
wagon across the continent; that in the
judgment of himself and of those with him
the United States should colonize and own
what he had described; and that the fifty-
ninth parallel extended to the Pacific ocean
and should be the nations northern bound
airy.
Like all men whose judgments are pre-
determined. Webster was not impressed
What a Weakening he would receive today
could he be recalled from his grave!
DR.. Whitman then addressed his appeal
to the President. who was more inclined to
listen. Whitman had sacrificed too much
to be easily put aside.
Finally. the authorities consented that he
should take all the emigrants who would
follow him to Oregon. Before the spring
had drawn to an end about twelve hundred
set out for the Columbia valley. Were there
ever more gallant pioneers?
They took with them about four hundred
head of horses. oxen and cattle. They took,
of course, their wives and their families.
Let Oregon never forget them! All that she
is she owes to these brave men and women
and the little children that went with them.

DRAINAGE CONGRESS
 MtETS IN OKLAHOMA
ArizOna Will Not Participate in T,,is Years Deliberations, Having No.h- ing to Drain and Nothing to Gain.

Governor Kibbey yesterday received from Governor Frank Frantz of Okla homa. a request to appoint delegates to a drainage congress to be held ir Oklahoma City. December 5th. 9th and 7th. The governor. without any in tended afcrolt to Governor Frantz does not expect to make any appoint ments.
 The chief reason is that he doen-t know anybody who wants to go or who could be induced 10 go Of all the congresses that can be conceived a drainage congress is about the last thing that could appeal to most Arizo- nians unless it would be a congress of joint statehood advocates There IS nothing in Arizona that such a con gress could assist in draining except the purses of the delegates who might attend. The chief worry in this coun- try is to get water enough, not to get rid of it. It will take care of itself it it is let alone, except when it runs from an irrigating ditch into a county road and then the sheriff has power t0 act.
 Seriously. the American people have gone congress wild and are organiz- ing congresses to correct almost every evil that flesh is heir 70, inaugurate every desirable reform and encourage every scientific and utilitarian idea. Most of the congresses have very laudabIc purposes in view and few of them ever accomplish anything except to give a few orators a chance for a hearing More often than otherwise, those who attend these congresses are not personally interested in their pur- pose but go by reason of official po- sition. or at the request of somebody.

rrate man. who died without speaking. and almost instantly.
 Mrs. Burger screamed Johnnie has killed himself" and Mrs. Worden and Miss Hooker came to her at once.
 When questioned by the coroner both the women corroborated Mrs. Burgers story in every detail it would have been possible for them to know about. They had witnessed tho evil dence of good spirits and affection just before the retiring hour. and heard Mrs. Burger ask her husband whats Jhat2" after the shot and in other minor details there was no i'm portant variance. one of them who had been there the longest and knew the vagaries Of the gas stove. had the same impression as Mrs. Burger when she first heard the report
 very careful questioning ensued for the development of any possible motive for suicide. but none was Found. The family has lived peaceful ly. the dead man was a considerate and affectiOnate husband and idolized his two little boys aged respectively about eighteen months and four years His financial condition was inquired into. and there seemed to be nothing that
 would occasion worry at all. the only possible thing being a future payment on his little home, and he had never expressed himself as worried about that He was a man of unusually good habits. sober and industrious and greatly interested in his occupation as an engineer. Superintendent Ensign of the Light and Power company. said MT. Burger had given the most excel lent satisfaction and was held in the highest esteem. There had been no difficulty at the works. his wages were better than formerly, and he had for some time had an assistant which made his work less strenuous. He had but few days ago, returned from a vacation in California. This intro duces the incident that undoubtedly furnished the means oS the young mans tragic death. When he went to California he borrowed the revoIve~ that caused his death, from a fellow employe Of the electric plant and had neglected to return it. Mrs. Burger recalls that on Wednesday. night ne spoke about the fact. and said he must return il. but she evidently forgot it yesterday. It is her theory that he thought of it again just before going to bed. and went to the closet where he had left it in a coat pocket, perhaps to lay it out where he would be reminded of it again this morning.
 TEe dead man was 31 years old, and was native of Arizona, being the son of the late John H. Burger, one os ATizOna's best known pioneers. This city has been his home most of his life and there was no more popular or more highly respected young man in Phoenix. He was married a few years ago to Miss Nina Nash. also of this city. He was for many years connected with the Phoenix fire department. and was it's engineer at the time of his death He was also member of the Fraternal order of Eagles.

 Ever sinceI was in the Army, I had more or less kidney trouble, and within the past year it become so severe and complicated that I suffered everything and was much alarmed-ny strength and power was fast leaving me.
