the presidents daughter has just done

a president or king ever did before
completed a trip around the world

Of the greatest personages on the

The Chinese Empress.
The Chinese empress but lately
tapped her on the cheek. Oriental
courts feted her, while their enterpris-
ing artists pictured her on their postal
cards as "the American princess.
Royalty and aristocracy dined and
wined her in Europe. No American
girl ever lived before who was so
widely known, both personally and
officially They will discuss her mar
riage in China and Japan and the
isles of the sea between now and Feb
ruary II, and in South African cities,
and wherever the white or the yellow
man rove, almost as much as they
will at home.
There have been five weddings at the
WnlL6 House. lie IlOSL I0CCAL was
that of Miss Frances Folsom to Presi-
dent Cleveland That was celebrated
in the presence of only four or five
persons in the blue room. The most
famous was that of Nellie Grant to
Sartoris, which was a splendid and
elaborate affair, in which the wedding
party stood on a raised dais under an
enormous wedding bell in the huge
East room.
Wedding in the East Room.
When Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas
Longworth are married the ceremony
will take place in the East room. 1t
is to be brilliant function, surprising

annals of the White House SO far as
social festivities are concerned.

deel focused upon her.
There has never been so interesting
a bride since then. Beautiful Alexan-
dra, heralded by Tennyson, invoked
the love and admiration which have
never since failed her in England,
wheL she stepped ashore to be Eng
lands future queen. But her great po-
sitior came to her by marriage. Queen
Wilhelmina, the only queen in her own
right to be married since Victoria. was
an interesting bride. but Holland has
not the prestige of a great power.
Nellie Grant, the daughter of a
father famous and beloved. was the
cynosure of al eyes in the north when
she married. But the United States,
torn by a recent war, comparatively
unrecognized as a world power, had no
such prestige then as now.

flood of letters, kilograms and cable

Everyone expected Nicholas Long
worth to do something brilliant, just
because he has been doing these things
all his life. He has been a man about
whom women have always speculated.
especially because he has been SO
seemingly Indifferent to them. In all
of the Is years since he left college,
Mr.. Longworth has been the particu-
lar object of matchmaking mammas.
His social position, his wealth, his
standing as a man of brains-ali these
have been added to a fascinating per-
sonality, and the combination has been
irresistible to the match-makers.
But if he has cared at any time, he
has certainly worn his heart elsewhere
than upon his sleeve. 1t was generally
reckoned, as time flew by, that he had
no heart, but the daughter of the
Roosevelts has proven this conclusion
to be false.
Mr.. Longworth has two sisters,
the countess of Chambrun and Mrs.
Buckner Wallingford.
The Longworth Home.
The LcHgworth home, in Grandin
road, Cincinnati, is one of the first
Of the old residences which graced
that now famous part of Cincinnati.
1t is barely possible to see the house
from the road, for it stands in great
grove of trees, and is approached by
a road which goes over hill and vale
before it makes it's bow at the front
veranda.
The house is brick one, and not
particularly imposing, but it has a
substantial and home-like look A
broad piazza crosses the front and the
rooms are rather small, but coy, hav-
ing that undeniable air-a home where
time has mellowed the combination OF
good things with rare taste. There
are orchards and arbors and gardens
to the rear, and flower gardens galore.
The trees are old and guard the house
on all Sides In fact, there is nothing
new about the place. Everything has
been we'll seasoned with the passing
of the years, and there is an old
fashioned grace about the place which
bespeaks of generations in the plural.

to see clearly what heretofore has
been only dimly understood.
Business men in the cities and
towns now regard good roads as essen
tial to their business welfare, while
the railroad companies have no doubt
whatever that good roads increase
their revenues and build up their
lines. In fact there is universal
concensus of opinion that good wagon
roads are essential to the local public
welfare and 1t is to this beneficent
work that the ST. Louis County Good
Roads Association consecrates itself.
1t is beginning to be we'll known
that the lands in many parts of this
county tributary to its cities and vii
lagos are excellent in quality and that
when made accessible by good roads
they will soon be occupied by perma-
nent farmers who do so much every
where to provide solid foundation
for the prosperity of the country. We
will not specify localities where this
work is needed, not only to bring in
new settlers but to improve the con-
dition of the large number who now
occupy much of the land and devote
their whole time in tilling the soil.
1t is one object of this Association
to aid these citizens.
Everyone can do something. The
least that can be expected is that citi-
zens will place their names on record
as members of this organization and
give their moral influence to its cause.
The public is inclined to rely too
much on the public officers. These
need support, approval for good work
and criticism at times for poor work
and this Association purposes to take
part in that duty.
1t is desired that all interested
will join hands with the Association
in making study of this matter In
order that just understanding of the
law, of ways and means, and of most
needed Improvements can be arrived
at. No cost is attached,

The st. Louis County Good Roads
Association recently organized with
W. e. Culkin president, has received
assurances Of the presence of many OF
the state notables at their meeting
to be held in Duluth on June IL, the
day preceding the State Convention.
The three candidates for governor,
A. L. Cole, G.. w. Somerville and A.
d. Stephens have already sent in
their acceptance of the invitation to
be present and lend their voice to-
wards the movement and it is expect
ed that acceptances will also have
been received from Block, Jacobson
and Lord before this reaches the
readers.
The program as arranged will be an
interesting one. Mayor Cullom. viii,

Duluth s. Iron Range road will speak.
A general discussion will be gone
into as to the roads, methods of build
ing, etc.
The Association is entitled to the
support of all public spirited citizens.
Its objects, which are to promote the
making of new roads, to encourage
the keeping in repair of existing ones,
to insist on the prudent yet liberal
expenditure of public money in road
making, to encourage road officers in
the application of modern methods
to their work and in general to advo-
cate all regulations the tendency of

communication both for business and

very recent date small public interest
was taken in this road question Only
what was absolutely necessary was
done and even that was done in SO
slipshod and wasteful manner that
nothing was permanent or final.

THE RANGE TOWNS
Interesting Description of the Life in the Range
Cities Depicted.
Climatic Conditions, Agricultural Possibilities,
Thrifty characteristics, Etc.

The following is an excerpt of an
interesting article in the June num-
Der of School Education, published at
Minneapolis, from the pen of Super
intendent Bliss of the Virginia dis
trict. After an interesting review Of
st. Louis county and Of its mineral
resources, including valuable data and
illustrated by several views showing
the methods of mining, the writer
speaks entertaininglY of the climatic
conditions, the agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles and thrifty characteristics of the
people of the section as follows:
at is the lesson of history that the
highest civilizatian and the most per-
feet development of home life can be
found only in those parts of the
world where the climate forces people
to dig cellars and store up food for a
part Of the year, like the bee; and
where for a part of the year families
are kept indoors, so that the father,
mother and children become acquaint-
ed with one another. The winter
climate on the range is ideal; and the
summer climate Is more invigorating
than an ocean voyage. The average
number of sunshiny days in year for
our state at large is $50; on the range
we average 2l3 days. True, in the
winter the cold is quite steady, but
this is preferable to the alternating
days of freezing and thawing, so COM
mon farther south. In no part OF our
state does outdoor work move on
more vigorously all winter, than on
the range. Carpenters, brick-layers,
stone masons and most classes Of lab
orers have lost no time this winter on
account of cold weather-in fact the
erection of brick buildings and frame
dwellings has gone on all winter in
the range towns the same as though
1t was summer time. Sawmills, by
means of a few steam pipes, keep lakes
from freezing over, that the open
water may be used to float the logs to
the mills. On the range the snow
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-06-08

does not pile up in great drifts, hence
it is not necessary for the locomotives
to wear snow plows, and trains are
not blockaded. We are out of the
cyclone belt in summer, which adds
to our peace of mind. The climate on
the range has been much maligned
and it is high time the truth be spo'
ken. "
"The soil in northeastern Minnesota
has been much misunderstood. 1t
has been reported to be devoid OF
those qualities necessary for the food
of plants. This also is mistatement
of the facts. Last summer the writer
had growing in his yard the finest
and most nutritious grass that he has
ever seen anywhere else in the state,
and he has been in every county OF
the state. In his garden the writer
grew last year potatoes, onions, car
rots, turnips, cucumbers, radishes,
lettuce, cabbage, parsnips, sage, ETC.,
ETC., that would make the gardener in
the southern part of the state wish
for the long sunshiny days OF the
range country. Flowers, such as
golden glow roses-several varieties,
nasturtiums, pansies, sweet peas,
astors, daisies, morning glories, sweet
elysium, lobelia, ETC., were also grown
and blossomed profusely: and this toe
on soil that had not before been cult
waited since the ancient pine forest
was felled few years ago. Shade
trees of the soft varieties shoot UP
from one TO five feet the first year
Wheat thriyes in this climate and
soil, and can be grown 500 miles tC
the north of the range.
''As rule the people of Minnesota
do not take pride enough in the fact
that our state is the greatest mineral
producing state in the Union. OF the
one hundred mines, kenetic and pc
tential, on the Mesaba range, the five
largest-the Mountain Iron, Mahon
ing, Fayal, Adams and Stevenson
can prod uce as much ore in eight
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-06-08

months as Spain produces In a year,
The Mountain Iron output alone
equals that of the whole of Sweden.
ALI the ore mined annually in the
state of Alabama, or what is annually
taken out of the sixty mines on the
Marquette range in Michigan, scarcely
equals the product of three of our
steam shovel mines.
Eighty thousand people on the
Minnesota iron ranges are chiefly sup
ported by the mining of iron ore, and
the making of lumber, which occupa-
ton is extensively carried on and will
be for the next 25 years. If we count
the people employed on the ore carry
ing railroads, on the ore and lumber
docks and vessels; and all those on the
farms of central and southern Mime
sofa who are working to supply the
home markets of Duluth and the
range with food for man and beast;
we shall not be far out of the way by
stating that fully quarter of a mil
lion people derive their support in
whole or in part from the mines and
mills Of northeastern Minnesota.
The towns of Virginia, Hibbing,
Eveleth, Ely, Tower, Chisholm, Sparta,
Soudan, Mountain Iron, Bull, Bovey,
Mckinley, Biwabik, Aurora, and 9TH
ers on the range form social division
of our state, distinctive and peculiar.
In no other community can there be
found so few idlers, so few who are
thriftless, so few who have time to
waste. The work of these people is
profitable, and hence it is earnest and
serious. They are here to make mon
ey it is true, but they are also here to
make homes. While the common
miner and lumberjack are always in
evidence, and right they should be,
there. are many people Of education,
wealth and refinement whose energy,
ability and faith have made the range
country what it is today-the most
prosperous part of our state. The
friends of public education can ex-
press only satisfaction when they
learn how staunch the people are in
support of public libraries, lecture
courses and the public schools. In no
other towns of Minnesota of like size
can there be found so many we'll
equipped, modern school buildings,
with everything furnished the child

ages as high and where more ideal
relations exist among school author
