SOME SUGGESTIONS.
How the Agricultural Department
May Disseminate knowledge.

A lengthy open letter has been addressed
by William Borsod editor of the National
advertiser, to the Secretary of Agriculture
on the subject of getting the urban popu-
iatlon of American and the ever-ncreasing
tide of immigration upon the farm lands
of the country.
ihe- letter goes at great length into the
advantages of farm life over life In the
cities, and tells what is being done in Can
ada to attract the farming population there
ana outlines the work of the powerful or
ganization. the United Hebrew Charities,
IN caring for the great influx of Jews espe-
cially of Russian Jews, and getting them
comfortably settled in the country
inc concrete suggestion that Mr. Borsodi
makes, however, Is for the Department of
Agriculture to take up something of the
same line of work. He says in this connec-
ton:
Briefly, I would most respectfully make
TINS suggestion: That such proofs as this as
10 the condition of agriculture in this coun-
try should be most widely disseminated.
would suggest that the Department of Agri.
culture establish in each of the large cities
OF the country offices, which would give
full information to inquirers who wish to
know OF the best places in any part of the
rural districts of the United States in which
to take up their residence. with a view to
engaging in agricultural pursuits
These offices should l believe, cooperate
with the associations and with individuals
10 draw away from the city such elements
or the population as are not liable to meet
with success there. This could be done
through their cooperation with charitable
associations, immigration officials lecturers
the press, etc. The natural place for these
offices would be in the over-populated cities
OF the counGry, and particularly those
cities where the immigrants from other
countries arrive. Such an institution would
doubtless be of the greatest possible ben
eht to the rural districts, and to the cities
as we'll 1t should largely furnish the So
luton to several of the problems which
nave worried economists for Il dong time.
This suggestion, which is of course the
most important part of this letter, is, how
ever. given in very brief form 1t is simply
in the nature of "a word to the WISE For
l do not presume to suggest to you the de-
tails regarding the establishment and the
control of such Offices. But 1 considered it
my privilege and duty, as a citizen of the
United States, to call your attention to one
of the greatest needs of the times. And 1t
is a need which your department should
be in a particularly advantageous position

The Value of Charcoal.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is thu

All druggists sell charcoal in one form or au-

most for the money is In Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges; they are composed of the finest pow.

large pleasant tasting ozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.

given by Harry Wentzy Of Pukwana,

THE democrats will work for the

replied in answer to a telegram. eff
they hold the balance Of power, as now
seems likely, they will in all probability
work for the election Of man for SEN
ator who is in sympathy with the peo-
pie. They will defeat Gamble if posi-
ble.'' ran
Practically complete returns give the
republicans 100 members of the legisla
ture, 81 senators and rs representa-

100 republican members, AZ are classed
as stalwarts from solid stalwart coun-
ties. "=r" .r.
Stalwart leaders, while making no
threats, say that with the democrats
they are able to defeat Senator Gamble
The insurgents, however, declare that
enough stalwarts will work with them
to make certain all reform measures
and the election Of Senator Gamble.

Problem of the Phantom Auto.

. AVOASAA " N4A0 A1@AAbOAAA x2uUVs
Jacques Futrelle, and that wonderful
Thinking Machine in which he confides,
relates in the Sunday Magazine of next
Sundays Journal the "Problem Of the
Phantom Auto.'' Marlborough was a.
wide expanse Of country estates and
superbly kept roads. The Trap was
singularly tempting, perfectly mac
adamized road lying between the two
tall walls, with only enough Of sinu-
GUS twist in it to make each end in
visible from the center. The Trap was
an ideal spot for curbing the ambitions
Of Marlborough residents for eclipsing
all speed records in autos. With a man
at each end Of the Trap, with telephon-
ic communication between, the Yarbor-
ough constables had reasons to con
graduate themselves. But the Phan-
tom Auto changed all this. One night
it came into the Trap at sixty miles
an hour. The man at the other end
waited twenty minutes and failed, to
see it. The next NIGHT the same thing
happened. The problem was still uni,
solved when Hutchinson Hatch, the re-
porter, laid it before Professor Van
Dusen, the Thinking Machine. His
logic easily solved the problem that
seemed impossible to detectives. #
was all SO simple that it set everybody
a-laughing when the phantom auto was
no longer a mystery.

District Attorney Who Would

at the Polls.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Nov. s.-The
result of John F. Dietz's war at the
polls in Sawyer county was ascer-
tanned last night, and Dietz $ candidate
for district attorney, Sam j. Williams,
is defeated by his opponent, present
district attorney, Frank l.. Mcnamara,
by forty votes.
Dietz won at the primaries and Nc
Namara was Endorsed by the democrats.
Dietzism was the main issue in Saw
vel, county. Supporters of Mcnamara
said their candidate would bring about
Dietz's arrest and discourage lawless.
ness in the county. Williams maintained
that he was for giving Dietz g square
DEAL and Mcnamara held it square
deal to Wisconsin to have Dietz tried
on the charges new against him.
William Dietz, the Cameron dam
man 8 brother, worked enthusiastically
for Williams, while John f.. Dietz made
a lively campaign in the rural districts
Of the county. The belief is that Nc

the sentiment Of Sawyer county is for
Dietz's capture, will use every possible
effort to bring him to the bar of JUS
tice forthwith. ...-.

mining Is done on the Mesaba range,
where last year 80 per cent. Of the output
was mined by steam shovels out Of open
pits of large size.
Some OF the ores are hard, while others,
like those In the openpit mines, are soft.
The hard ores are generally Of q higher
grade and easier to market. while the
softer ores are Of lower grade, but In
fnitely easier to handle.
In mining upon any OF these plans the
deposits are first surveyed and outlined
by drilling. Churn drills are used In the

to go through the rock. The ore body Ia

measured before the mining operations
begin. With the hard ores the mining
proceeds In the conventional fashion, by
sinking q shaft and by drifting at vari-
Gus levels, the ore being loosened by
blasting and taken ont by hoists. Just as
people naturally expect q mine to be
