INTEREST IN RACES.
Great Northern Racing Circuit Con.
venes Here Soon.

vVuCC AAOAC 0VVus
The annual meeting of the Great
Northern racing circuit will be held
in this city at p. NJ, Tuesday, March
q and several out-of-town horsemen
are expected to be present.
At this meeting officers will be
elected and it will be decided as to
what classes will be given at the 1906
meetings, as we'll as the membership
OF the circuit, which now includes
Minot, Bottineau, Devils Lake, Cando,
Mayville, Larimore, Grand Forks,
Winnipeg. Brandon and Killarney.
c. ]. Lord, Cando, is president of the
association, and L. S. Champine, Min
ct. secretary and treasurer. 1t has
been thought advisable this year to
arrange for two trotting races, as
stables coul dbe induced to make en-
tries at the different meetings if they
were allowed to start trotters, and not
have to race them against the PAGERS,
1t is also expected and hoped by the
promoters of the circuit that each
town hold at least three-day meet
ing. Encouragement will be given
running horses by at least two run
ming races each day of each meeting.
The meetings of the Great Northern
circuit last year were all good ones,
and barring bad weather at several of
them, were successful ones. The Or
ganization of circuit in the southern
part of the state has increased inter-
est in race meetings all over the state
and number of new towns may be
added to the Great Northern circuit.

STEEL PLANT FOB AFRICA.
Works to be Established Midway Be.
tween Pretoria and johannesburg.


The Transvaal Iron & Steel Com
pany with capital o 1885,, 900. is the
first project Of the kind to find birth
on the dark continent, the first es-
say of the company being to devote
its attention to the manufacture of
bar iron Of almost every description,
Including angles, shoes and dies, tees,
Orders. small mine rails, bolts and
nuts, spikes, and such other lines rs
may be in demand from scrap iron
and steel now cast aside as useless.
This Is not new idea, but Is being
carried out in every country which
manufactures its own iron, some of
the best and most popular brands
being made In this manner.
The new plant will be built at
Pretoria and johannesburg on the
South African railroad, where large
ore bed has been purchased. This
will be utilized providing it will be
possible to secure the proper coking
coal, the only bed now being pro-
duced coming from Natal, and said TO
be not of superior quality. Johannes
burg Is so situated that the freight
from and to the coast precludes scrap
from being exported, and the result
is that is is almost dumped as useless
and has accumulated for years.
The leader in the new venture is

long experience, who has optimistic
notions as to the future of that bust

options on a large quantity of iron
and steel scrap, his contract with the
mines covering a period of years
and controlling sufficient quantity
to last the new company five or more
years. In the prospectus of the COM
pay 1t Is estimated that the yearly
accumulation of scrap in the Trans
vaal is almost sufficient to supply
the requirements of the works on the
estimated output. SO that with the
quantity held under option and what
Is otherwise available a regular out
put should be maintained.
The addition to this is that the in

and railage.
Taking these two factors into &C
count it is estimated that a prefer
ence of over $40 ton exists, subject,
of course, to the difference in the
labor cost on the manufactured ar

railway rate from Durham is about
$2S ton, and from Delega bay about
SIS ton, and the steam freight from
Sc to $3.50, it will at once be seen
how this preference is made up.

The seed and soil special. now
traversing the northwestern part of the
state has made a record which en-
dorses the popularity of the move.
Great credit Is due Mr.. j. ]. Hill for
carrying out an enterprise which Is
OF so great Importance to the farmers
of this state 1t Is progressive and
educational idea of which good re-
suits will be the outcome. Men of long
experience have been employed to &C
company the train and give talks of
advanced methods of farming. The
trip from Rugby to Antler was a grand
demonstration of the interest farmers
are taking In seed selection and soil
cultivation.
At Omemee. the train was met by
a band and by a large crowd of farm
ers. The hail was packed to the doors
with an interested crowd Of farmers
who are deeply interested in scientific
and practical methods of farming.
When the train arrived at Bottineau
4 large crowd had been waiting for
the much talked of train and there
was general rush for the big hall.
When the professors struck the plat
form they had an attack of stage
fright caused by the appearance of
such a large audience.
The great train made the next stop
at Souris and was met by a brass
band and large crowd Of farmers.

fine turnout of people and excellent

PASSPORTS NEEDED NOW.
Means of Identification Required in
France.

The present high tension between
France and Germany increases the
necessity for Americans going abroad
this season to provide themselves with
means of readily proving their identity
especially in France. Unless con-
tinental conditions become less strain
ed-and the prospect Is that they are
more likely to grow rworse-the fall
ure to procure passports will cause
travellers much anxiety and annoy
ance. The department of state has
received from the consulate general
at Paris a caution on this subject,
from which 1t appears that the French
law requires the registration of all
foreigners who go there to reside, in
Guiding students. This registration is
done at the Offices Of the project of
police in Paris or Lyons, or at the
Office Of the mayor in other parts of
France. Any change of address must
also be communicated to the police.
To secure this registration and the
small certificate of identity the person
must furnish either passport duly

LABOR Is KING.
Employers Orders Cannot Be Filled
Workers Independent as Kings.


The Duluth laboring man is king.
At least the proprietors of employ
ment agencies on the Bowery seem to
think SO. Every day there is strong
call for men to fill various kinds Of
positions, both in this city and on the
IA ages, few can be obtained.
L could place 1000 men inside of a
week with the orders l now have In
my Office" said G. o. Carlson. pro-
prietor of Bowery agency. last even
ing. Il have orders from Hibbing,
Virginia, Two Harbors, Eveleth and
Ely asking for men to work in the
woods, in the mines and on railroad
construction.
For seven years I have maintained
an employment Office in Duluth and
never before have l seen men so scarce
or SO independent. During the past
week there have been calls for swamp
ers, top leaders and ground men in
the woods. but only a few of the orders
could be filled. LOggers are most anx-
ious to finish up their opera
tons while the cold spell lasts and as
a special inducement to men have Of
fered wages as hign as $40 per month
to ground men and $38 to swampers.
A few woodsmen who were out of
money took advantage of this offer.
"Laborers in northern Minnesota
this spring and summer will be paid
$3.50 per day unless all indications
fail. 1t Is simply impossible to secure
laborers and when the market gets in
that condition, the scale of wages
shoots to the top notch.
"This stringent condition is due, al
most entirely to the large shipments
of men to the western states, which
have been made during the past two
years. Men were taken to the Pacific
coast for 81. but 1t will cost them $40
to return to the Lake Superior region.
They evidently have not the money 70
come back, for 1 hear that most Of
them are out of work and are wishing
that they had never left Minnesota.
Nearly all of the other proprietors f
employment agencies tell the same
story as Mr.. Car.son.-Duluth Herald.
