Fairbanks districts go to the con-
vention pledged to home rule for
Alaska and unalterably opposed to
the policy Of Governor Hoggatt, who
maintains that the territory does not

third term, but II will also, II per-
mitted send its delegates to the ma
tional convention with Roosevelt in
structions.

ton will indorse Tom Gale, the nom
partisan present delegate to con-
gress. and pledge him continued sup
port. There is also some talk that
Gale will be selected as one of the
delegates to tn national convention,

Smelling Steel by Electricity.

(From the Technical World .Masrazine0
The enormous quantity of iron ore
which is. being scooped from the ranges
about Lake Superior, dug out of the
hills Of Alabama and Tennessee. and
hoisted from the deep pits of Pennsyl-
vana has caused the geologst and
nineralogist to make startling predic-
lions.
Some of them have gone so far as to
say that we are approaching an era
when iron may rank among the rarer
metals because of its scarcity. Even
James j. Fill. the railroad magnate and
developer of the northwest, who was
one Of the first to realize the vast de-
posts of ore in the Superior ranges,
has made the prophecy that perhaps
within a half century most of the rich
err ore beds will be exhausted and that
we may be obliged to go outside of
America for much of the raw material
for our smelters and furnaces.
