WILL REBUILD CHURCH OF BRICK.
N. E. Society Will Replace Burned Ed
if;ce With Modern Structure.


At meeting of the official board
and other members of the N. E. So
ciety held at the close of the even
ing services at the Fay Opera on
Sunday last, it was practically de-
cided to keep pace with the march
OF improvement So apparent in Vir-
ginia and replace the burned church
structure with handsome solid
brick edifice, to be erected at an es-
timated cost of approximately $lO,-
600.
This amount is but about one
third higher than the Society had
figured for new frame structure
to replace the building destroyed,
work on this proposed structure
having been commenced some time
ago and the basement of which is
now complete.
The local NJ. E. Society has been
greatly increased in membership
during the past year, and under the
energetic leadership of the Rev. Fl.
A. Logan, pastor, they will have an
edifice which will be the peer OF any
house of worship on the iron ranges.
In the meantime the Society will
hold it's services in the Fay Opera
House, where all will be made cor.
daily welcome.

TRYING TO INTRODUCE STEEL TIES.
Carnegie Company Interesting Range
Roads in This New Departure.

Roads in This New Departure.
An effort is being made by the
Carnegie Steel company, with which
the Oliver Iron Mining company is
associated in the United States Steel
corporation, as we'll as other roads,
in steel ties, and the company will
have an exhibit of steel rails and
Du4uesne rail-joints at the Ameri-
can Street Railway Convention at
Columbus, Ohio, on October 1919.
A considerable amount of steel
cross-ties is in use in England and
Eutope, but this country has been
slow to adopt them. While it is said
the proportion of steel ties used in
other countries has kept up we'll
within late years, the fact that those
countries do not build as much
mileage as is built in the United
States may indicate that the use of
the new tie is not greatly on the in
crease.
A considerab BILE amount of Mesaba
ore is used in making steel ties for
use in foreign countries, which adds
tinge of local interest to the prop
osition.

NOthin' D0in'.

lhe city fathers enjoyed a respite
Tuesday evening from the usual ar
duous labors which mark their reg
ular meeting nights. but little aside
from routine business demanding
their attention.
Sealed bids for the construction
OF lateral sewer in District No. 3 F
were called for, to be submitted at
the meeting of the council on the
9th of November. This sewer will
connect the new Johnson school
building and intermediate property
to the west along its course with
the main sewer. A resolution for
this improvement was vetoed by the
mayor earlier in the season, but his
action was reconsidered in the face
of statements made by members of
the school board that unless such
Improvement was provided by the
time of the completion of the school
that the building would not be oc-
cupied until sewer connections were
furnished. And even blind man
must recognize, if he has hold of
the reins, that public opinion is
stronger than the pull of a mule.
A resolution accepting the spec
ia1 assessment tax-roll for 1905 was
accepted, and copy of same or
dered filed with the county auditor.
An arc lamp was ordered INSTALL
ed on Central avenue at the inter-
section of Hemlock street.
The street commissioner was in
structed to build cross walk at the
intersection of Cleveland avenue
and Spruce street.
A request from the library board
for a cross-walk for the accommo-
dation of patrons of the library was
brought up; no definite action TAX
en- aside from an understanding
that temporary crossing would be
provided when occasion required.
The special assessment for paving
and street improvements, etc., will
come up for hearing at meeting
to be held on Thursday evening
next, October 18th. If you are
realty-holder on Chestnut street or
in the city you have an interest in
this session.

STEEL CORPORATION GETS HILL lands
Minimum Output of Ore to be $50, 600
Tons, With Annual Increase.

OSs "'tI AuSuUO0b increase
The formal transfer of the Hill ore
properties k2 Minnesota, which has
been pending for many months, was
closed on Friday last, at confer
ence of representatives of the inter-
ests concerned, held at the office of
J. P. Morgan & Co. in New York.
The terms of the transfer as an
nounced are based on a system of
royalties, and give no indication of
the amonnt of ore to be taken out
OF the lands except to show that it
is expected to be many millions of
tons.
The price to be paid for the first
year of the lease is $1.65 per ton de-,
livered at upper Lake Superior
ports, but this price is to be in
creased ree-fourths of cent per
ton III each succeeding year until
the ore bodies shall have been ex-
hausted. It is provided that the
steel corporation must take at the
least 10000 tons in 1907 and increase
the amount mined by 10000 tons
year for eleven years, until the
amount mined annually has reach.
ed 8,25O,OOO tons, at which rate the
ore must continue to be taken an
nually until the mines are exhaust.
ed.
The magnitude OF this transaction
and its effect upon the properties
concerned as we'll as upon the iron
and steel trade of the country is in
dicated by the fact that the Hill ore
holdings have been estimated at
from 40O,OO0,O00 to 7OO,OOO,OOO tons.
The properties included in the deal
are said to be second in importance
and extent only to the Lake Super.
ior mines already controlled by the
United States steel corporation, and
it is said the transaction will fur.
nish the steel: corporation with a
supply of ore for the next so years
The location of the major portion
of the Hill ore deposits is in the
district between Nashwauk and the
Diamond mine, although the Hill
interests own isolated deposits the
entire length of the range, as ia,
least as Mesaba. Three such prop
critics are included in the Virginia
district, lying to the west and north
of the.Sauntry, and while by some
the fear is expressed that the acqui
sition of these lands will tend tc
further curtail work on the fee prop
critics of the steel corporation it is
unlikely the deal will affect the sta
bility of any range point.

County Fair Gets $3.50 APPROXIMATION

County Commissioner Ryan, of
Hibbing, at the meeting of the
board of county commissioners on
Tuesday, was granted an appropria-
ton of $3.50 for the St. Louis County
Agricultural Society of Hibbing.
The first annual fair just closed at
that point was a decided success,
but owing to the large initial ex.
pense the society is.in need of coin.
The resolution appropriating the
sum provides that the treasurer of
the agricultural society shall certi-
fly receipted bills to the county to
prove that $500 was expended by the
society in premiums, before the ap.
preparation becomes available.

lath Mill Reopened.

The big lath mill of the Virginia
Lumber Company which has been
closed for several weeks owing to a
shortage in the visible supply of
lath timber, was reopened Monday.
During the enforced idleness of the
plant considerable amount of lath
timber has been banked, and it is
expected the supply can now equal
the demand throughout the winter.

Just A Minnesota Winter.

4uc FARMER VINO makes the Weatn.
er study finds that the cloudssare
floating high, the geese flying high
er than usual, and the polecat dis
playing a familiarity that he has
not betrayed for the past ten years.
There isn't the least doubt but that
we are in for regular old buster,
and the man who pays his debts
this fall may have reason to regret
it before the spring sunshine makes
him forget that his house ever was
covered with snow"
The speaker has counted about as
many winters in Minnesota as any,
one and he had an interested audi
ence when he commenced his ora
tion on the weather.
ALI the one-eyed OWLS" he con-
tin1ed, "are leaving the country a
month earlier than usual and the
bob-tailed squirrels are laying in a
store of cabbage as we'll as nuts for
the winter. The farmer who has
taken the trouble to notice has
found that all toad stools on the old
logs have wrinkles in them, and the
last time this happened we had
winter weather that froze the han
dies off the plows. Rabbits are sit
ting around with bumped up look
to them, and the field mice have
wrinkles in their tails. If this
means anything it means 40 below
and lots of it. Cows are hunting
around to find pieces of flannel to
wrap up their tails and corn husks
are foot and a half thick. All the
geese, ducks and chickens are grow
ing fur under their feathers as we'll
as rubbing borax on their feet to
harden them. 1t is simply going
to be hummer, and show me the
man that disputes it,"
And the small crowd of corn.cob
pullers that had congregated on the
curbstone to watch Paddy McDon-
nel's automobile make one last des-
perate effort to escape from the
muddy, mirey depths of Chestnut
STREET to get out of the way of the
concrete mixing crew nodded an as
sent of approval, poked their hands
a few degrees farther into their
pockets and attested the fact that
they were all Michiganders by let
ting loose of a cloud of Peerless
smoke that oblitereted the dying
