HEAVY ORE cHARTERlNo
Vessels to Move About 100000 Tons
Have Been Tied Up

Season chartering in the ore trade
for 1907 has been the heaviest in the
history of the trade and with the ex-
ception of last season. which was the
banner year. the amount Of ore covered
by freight contracts Is greater than the
total shipments for any season.
Including the boats that are owned
and operated by shippers. vessel capa-
city TO move between S5. 600. 600 and
80, 600. 600 tons has been tied up for
next season II is figured that the
fleets that are operated by the Pitts
burg Steamship company NJ. A.
Hanna a. Co.. Pickands, Mather &
Co. Cleveland Cliffs Iron company
and other ore shippers will .have u
carrying capacity OF about 20. 900, 600
tons next season. That means that the
outside vessel owners have made
freight contracts 10 carry about 10, :
900. 600 or ls, 600. 600 tons Of ore next
year. Figuring on total movement
OF 40, 900, 600 tons, and the general
opinion is that the output Of the mines
will exceed that figure. the ore shippers
will require at least 40, 00O 900 of wild
capacity. A movement of 40, 600, 600
tons for the season win be a gain OF
about 30 500, 600 tons over 1906, when
all records were smashed.

Blind Pigs."

The attention Of the city officials was
this week called to the existence OF
blind pigs on the several mining
locations in and about this city.
That these 'pigs" actually exist
there is no question whatever. The
writer was told 10y saloon keeper that
sold the liquor, that a certain
Austrian widow woman who kept a
boarding house at the Great Western
location, averaged 800 per month profit
on the beer that she sold at that loca-
tion. She has recently been married
and whether sne continues the prac-
tice or not was not stated.
There are certainly two other "blind
pigs and undoubtedly three on the
same location. II oar city authorities

and the contest soon lay between Sher-
wood and Furgeson. Mr.. Sherwood
did not seek the position himself but
his friends were 80 enthusiastic in his
behalf that the supporters Of Furgeson
and Sherwood locked hornes very de-
terminedly and IL became apparent
that neither would land the prize.
The Governor was anxious that an
upper peninsula man should be select

nor lawyer would land the appoint
ment.

will bring to the Senate no noticeable
reverence for the tradition that that
body is the most conservative on
earth.
Any hasty assertion that the cor.
poration fighters are having their day
must be avoided in discussing the
new Senators. 1t is true that Willard
of Nebraska, who gives way TO Attor-
ney-General Brown, is loss to the
Western railroads, and Dixon of
Montana, who takes Clark's seat,
appeals to the people rather than to
the mine owners and land magnates
for support. But in swapping "Old

has been wrinkled by long search for
invective to h1rl against corpora

Senator he held fourteen salared
places in the familys various Colorado

Guggenheim is no orator-his po-

says that he is, and will continue to
be, free from their domination.
Curtis had come nearer to earning
promotion than any other Kansas rep
resenta'ive. He is part Indian. His
mother was of the Kaw tribe,
"quarrer-blood," and his father an
army officer. He began life as
newsboy, became jockey, then drove
a hack in Topeka. Studying whenev-
er opportunity offered, he left the
drivers seat at sixteen to enter
law office. AT twenty-four he was
prosecuting attorney OF Shawnee
County; at twenty-eight he first tried
for seat in Congress; at thirty he
succeeded. In his fourteen years in
the House he has worked hard. The
most important Indian legislation
since the Dawes land allotment act
of 1887, the Curtis bill for the break
ing up of the tribal governments in
Indian Territory, was credited to the
Kansas Representative in 1893. His
industry is indicated by his statement
that i'll his campaign for renomina-
ton in 1904 he wrote twenty thousand
letters. He is friend of the pension
seekers-in his Washington office is
a directory of applicants for pensions
which contains six thousand names,
with notes as to the status of each
claim.
More perhaps than any other Kan
sas Congressman, Curtis has the good
will of the Administration The rail
roads may be behind him, but so Is

Norris Brown, who takes the place
of Joseph II. Willard, regards his
election to the Senate as the culmi-
nation of the long fight that has been
waged in Nebraska against the rail-
roads. AS Attorney General of the
State, he has fought for the effective
enforcement of the laws against spec
i'll privileges. The anti-railroad agi-
tation has won his seat for him. He
says that it is not d passing fancy,
and has put himself on record, along
with other young and aggressive
freshmen in the Upper House, as fav-
oring the Presidents misunderstanding
