deserve the success which has attend
cd the career Of the company.
1t Is but natural that the location
OF Duluth. situated as she Is at the
head Of the navigable great lakes,
should attract men of large abilities,
and that great business industries
should spring up here. 1t is we'll that
the class Of men who have been drawn
to our city by the wonderful opportun-
tiles, are Of such a nature as to place
the welfare of the city nigh in their
list of things which deserve their con-
s1derat1on. AS a result of this public
spirit, Duluth has become recognized
as the home Of the best and most
progressive business men In the coun-
try, and it is to such men as those
comprising the list of officers Of the
Pittsburg Steamship company that this
is due.
In this age of intense application to
business, and Of close competition in
nearly all lines Of business, it often
becomes almost necessary to close
ones eyes to everything except a keen
watchfulness over ones own affairs,
and too often this leads to a forget
cept those directly connected with
either the family or the business In
terests of the man engaged in busi-
, ness. But this does not apply to the
majority of the business men of this
city, who seem to have been able to
avoid the path which leads to selfish
ness and disregard for the rights Of
others, and still maintain the highest
| business methods, which lead to sue
cess and property. This Is notably
true of the officers of this company,
who, while recognized as shrewd, care
| full and conservative business men,
have still retained that feeling of
human kindness which leads men to
| consider the welfare of others, and
which brings about kindly feelings be-
tween employers and workingmen.
The courteous and kindly manner
with which this company has always
treated Its employees mas made them
host of friends in this rank of life,
| and the workingmen Of the city and
wherever they are employed, hold the
| company and its officers in the highest
| esteem.
Few cities of the size of Duluth have
as many large industrial enterprises,
and there are few cities of even the
first class whose business men are cap
able of handling successfully such i'm
mense enterprises are under the con
troll and management Of the officers
of the Pittsburg Steamship company
And none Of them have higher
standing with their employees and with
the general public.
| The officers take a personal pride
in maintaining the high reputation OF
the company, and everything possible
is done to make their dealings with
the public mutually pleasant.
/ So long as the affairs Of the com
pany remain In the hands Of the pres
ent popular and efficient officers, we
| fell safe in predicting an uninterrupt.

OLIVER IRON MINING co.

One of the very strongest influences
in giving to Duluth ner worldwide
fame has been her great mining in
dustry.
That Duluth is great mining cent
er is a, recognized fact and it is for
tunate for our city that this great
industry is in the hands Of such men
as compose the Oliver Iron Mining
company.
In the vast fields Of operations COW
cred by American brains. enterprise
and capital, there Is no individual de-
partment Of effort in which such
phenomenal success and more admir-
able results have been achieved than
in the field Of properly conducted min
ing enterprises, which have added SO
vastly to the wealth Of the world.
We take pleasure In calling the at
tention to the name of the oliver Iron
Mining company, concern in our
midst which Is worthy of the support
and encouragement Of all intelligent
men. The record Of this company
shows clearly that the officers have
in all their dealings been actuated by
| principles Of fairness and justice. A
concern which pursues a policy of this
kind is almost sure to have a steady
and healthy growth.
It has always been our object to
show that in order to bring about the
best prosperity that is possible, it is
necessary for the two great forces
to capital and labor keep in sight
at all times the fact that their
interests are mutual and that what
ever tends to disturb the welfare
juriously upon the other. When a
concern such as the Oliver Iron Min
ing company pursues a policy Of fair
! ness and consideration in it's relations
| with labor, that company should re-
| ceive the support and encouragement
not only of their own employees, but
also Of all fair minded citizens.
| The officers of this great and sue
cessful company are: T. F. Cole, pres.
Pentecost Mitchell, general manager
G. H. Mclean, assistant general man
! ager; G. D. Fraser, secretary; G.. E
scheide, treasurer; George D. Swift
| assistant secretary and assistan
treasurer; ]. L. Mullin, auditor; w. J
O'Connor, assistant auditor; Frank B
Kellogg, general counsel; and JOSEPH
| B. Cotton general solicitor.
! These names are too we'll known il
the community to need any common
by this paper, and we are pleased
to see so important an industry in sucl
capable and liberal hands.

DULUTH & IRON RANGE
RAILROAD COMPANY

1t would be impossible to estimate
the benefits which have come to the
people of Minnesota from their rail-
road enterprises. 1t is popular thing
at present with certain class of
politicians to make capital for them
selves by attacking railroads, but the
great mass Of people realize that these
roads have been the pioneers Of civili-
cation in the Northwest, and that the
wonderful development of this country
would have been impossible but for
the enterprise, foresight and courage
of the men who have penetrated our
forests and spanned our prairies by
these arteries Of trade and commerce.
Minnesota is fast taking her place
among the most wealthy states of the
Union, because of the facilities which
are afforded her to develop the almost
inexhaustible natural sources Of
wealth which are contained in her
borders. This would never have been
possible but for the fact that the rail-
roads have opened up avenues for
reaching these storehouses OF wealth.
and Of bringing them to the market.
Foremost among the enterprising
roads which have ventured into hither-
to hardly know regions, and have made
possible the settlement and develop
ment of the state, stands the Duluth
& Iron Range railroad, whose offic-
ers are among the most courageous
and aggressive business men Of the
country. They have never hesitated
at any expense which promised re-
turns for the settlers along their lines,
and have always been in the front
ranks Of those who were pushing the
development Of our state.
Statements of the wonderful growth
and development of the country
through which this road passes would
read almost like a fairy tale, and If
one could have visited this country
score of years ago, when 1t was
practically a wilderness, and again at
the present time, when it is lined
with happy, prosperous settlements,
and productive farms, they would
hardly believe such a change could
have been brought about in so short
a time. And neither could it, had it
not been for the magic touch of the
railroad, which has brought this coun-
world.
For the investor. the country ad-
jacent to this road offers unrivalled
opportunities, and for the home
seeker, no better place can be found
There are many fascinating resorts
within a short distance of our city,
| where citizens Of Duluth can, for a
| small sum of money, enjoy a pleas
ant outing, and get in touch with the
! many beauties of nature, as we'll as
enjoy delightful seasons sport OF
hunting and fishing.
Duluth Is to be congratulated upon
the character of her business men,
| who arae active, aggressive and pro-
gressive, and none are more typical
Of this spirit than the officers Of the
Duluth & Iron Range railroad. who
have pushed many business enterprise.

erty and business industries on many
occasions.
The employees Of this railroad are
treated with the utmost consideration,
and patrons are shown every possible
courtesy. The officers are as follows:
Frank e. House, president and gen.
eral manager; H. Johnson. secretary,
vice president, general freight and
passenger agent; F. c. Marshall,
treasurer.
A great corporation of this kind,
which is liberal and generous with its
employees, and distributes such a large
amount of money in the shape OF
wages and for materials and supplies
Is of the utmost benefit to a COM
munity, and merits the support of all
who have the best interests Of the city
and state at heart.
The Labor World unites with all
classes of citizens in wishing success
| and prosperity to the Duluth & Iron
| Range railroad.

THE PITTSBURG
STEAMSHIP COMPANY

In the history Of Duluth, the name
of several large companies will al
ways be remembered with special IA
vor, on account Of the liberality of
their policy, and the enterprise and
foresight they have displayed in con-
Quoting their business, and the ma
ter1al benefit they have been to the
community. In this list the name Of
the Pittsburg Steamship company will
stand we'll at the head, for the reason
that this company has never taken

Of the interests of Duluth and the sur
rounding territory, and have contribut-
ed literally Of their time, money and
energy in making this city one Of the
best in the country.
1t is a pleasure to note the growth
and development of a company of this
kind, which has done so much for the
| community, and there should be nc
feeling of jealousy or opposition to its
| progress on the part of anyone.

highly respected business men OF the
Northwest, and their names are known

SOME INTERESTING
CONVICT LABOR ITEMS

More cOnv1ct-made goods are pro-
duced in Missouri than in any other
state.
Blacksnake whips, whip lashes and
| riding quirts are practically all pris-
on-made.
About half Of the prison-made
wares are produced under the "con-
tract system"
The value of the food consumed
annually by convict is, on the aver
age, $51.37.
The average cost of guarding and
attendance for a convict for a year is
$685..
One prison contractor owns and
controls the clothing output Of eight
prisons in six states.
The average annual product of con-
victs exploited under the prison con-
tract system is 1884.
To produce with outside labor a
years output Of prisons would require
| $14,925,329 in wages.
Penal and reformatory institutions
| have invested $4,5O0,OoO in machinery
used by convicts.
Ninety per cent Of the trees or
frames for riding saddles made In the
United States are prison products
| In Alabama, Florida, Mississippi
and Virginia convicts are so worked
as to be a source Of profit to the
state. =
1t is estimated that in productive
efficiency three outside laborers are
equal to five convict laborers on an
average.
| Contractors for prison labor pay
about rs per cent, or a little over
half, what is paid outside labor for
the same work.
! Over 5000 convicts are engaged in
| productive labor in 296 penal and re-
formary institutions in the United
| States.
Practically all the wood bound
cooperage used by Chicago meat
packers is supplied by prison con-
tractors and made by prison labor.
