What Do You Want?

Everybody has a want. You probably
have some little want right now. And
nine chances out Of ten, or thereabouts,
YOU could fill that want by using a
Journal want ad. You may find your
servants, and your errand boys, and
your gardener without advertising, but
a want ad costs so little, and is SO easy
and so quick, and such "a sure method
Of finding the cream Of the unemployed,
that you cannot afford 3to get along
without it.

1905 GREAT YEAR
FOR IRON MINES.
Minnesota Output Is Greater
Than that Of the German
Empire.
Special to The Journal.

Washington, Jan. "a John Birkin-
bine. who prepares the annual report
on the production of iron ore for the
yearbook of the United States geologi-
cal survey, entitled Mineral Re
sources,'' says that during the year
1905 the production of this mineral in
the United States was unprecedented.
The figures will probably show that
neither Great Britain nor Germany has
in any year furnished as much iron
ore as was taken from the mines Of
| Minnesota in 1905, a state that prior
to 1884 had never produced a pound of
iron ore. To emphasize the magnitude
place IN the iron-ore resources of Min
nesota it is only necessary to state that
the Mesaba range alone, which first pro-
duced ore, in 1892, contributed to the
world 8 supply ina1905 as much, if not
more, iron ore than did the German
empire. ;zz.S
Over 70 per. cent of the iron ore pro
from the Lake Superior region, which
is the world s principal source Of sup
ply for this mineral. The Shipments of
iron ore from that region in 1905 ex
| eeeded 34.000,000 tons. Activity in the
iron-ore industry was not, however, CON
fined to this section, for increased out
puts of iron ore are reported from the
eastern states, the. southern states an(
the Rocky mountain region.
| Liberal quantities of iron ore were
shipped from Minnesota to Colorado
Never before has such an EXTENSIVE
Halll,rail haul"s Of iron ores been at
tempted. " 81 RS
Iron-ore deposits in Minnesota NORTH
and west, Of the developed ranges anf

Suitability Of Soil in Queensland In
Productive Of Great
Gain,

Australians are expecting to be cot
ton growers. The suitability Of soil
and climate for cotton growing in the
greater part of Queensland, northern
West Australia and the vast northern
territory of South Australia has long
been placed beyond dispute, but the
paucity of population, apart from other
considerations, hitherto has been an
obstacle to the development Of cotton
growing. In the northern territory the
cotton plant has diffused itself without
mans help, and may almost be regard.
ed as a part OF the North Australia
fora, no less than seven out of the
eight known species fiourishing there.
Some years ago a cotton mill was es.
tablished in Queensland, but failed for
want OF capital, low prices and lack Of
experience. This discouraged the
farmers, who turned to dairy farming.
Things are different now. The farm
ers have faith once more in cottoT
growing, and are ready to under take
It on large scales If assured Of suffi-
Client labor in the picking season. It
Is said that an average farmers family
could work out an area of from five
