c. ii. Roberts recently put new stock of
goods into the Stephenson store at Knox
Center. This is very pleasing to the people
of this community, for we are quite little
distance from any other store. We feel
confident that he will make success of the

Will Peach Here.

Rev. John Truedson, pastor of the
Swedish Lutheran church of Hlbbing,
has rendered his resignation to his
congregation Hta will preach in Inis
city, Tower and Soudan. He will
reside in Soudan and will minister to
all thee churcles. Rev. Truedson
will arrive to take up his new work in
about three months.
The Hibbing Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the matter:
Rev. rruedson has been pastor OF
The Hibbing church for nearly five
years. He is very popular with his
congregation aud with the people of
Hibbing who have had the good for
tune to know him aud his removal
will be very generally regretted. He
is one of those men who is a believer
in and lover Of his fellows aud his
presence and invariable smile are well
come everywhere. The church here
has prospered under his ministry and
the church board refused to accept
his resignation when It was laid be
fore them some two weeks ago. Be-
lieving that it is better for him to
seek a new field Of labor, however,
Rev. Truedson insists and the Hibbing
church will have to secure new
pastor.

Closed Season for Fish.

March and April being the closed
season for fish in this state, Chas.
Avery, executive agent of the state
game aud fish commission. has issued
the following notice:
The closed season for all varieties
Of trout, except lake trout, is from
Sept. l to April Is Following. Al va
rieties of bass are protected between
March and May 20.
"Pike. muskallonge, Graphic. perch,
sunfsh, sturgeon. and any other va
riety of fish except pickerel, suckers.
red horse, carp and bullheads must
not be taken between March and
May L.
1.-THE law permits spearing of pick
ercl and rough fish at all times and
fish house license is good until April
|, provided that no fish may be taken
with hook and line in a fish house
after March l, and the fish taken in
such house in any manner must not
be sold, but are for domestic use only.
"All varieties Of fish. except trout
and bass, may be sold during the open
season, but the sale of all Minnesota
game fish is prohibited during March
and April. Game wardens are in
structed to enforce the law as to the
closed season strictly and to arrest
and prosecute every person found yio-
lating its provisions.
There are very important reasons
for strict enforcement of the closed
season and the game and fish COM
mission does not prosecute people for
the purpose of persecution, as some
appear to believe.
1.-The spring is the spawning season
for fish, and If our 10000 Minnesota
lakes and hundreds of streams which
formerly teemed with millions of fish
are to be restored to their former con-
dition, the process of reproduction
must not be interfered with.
1.-THE state is doing much to propo-
gate and distribute the best varieties
Of game fish, but nature must of me-
cessity do the greater part Of the
work.
1.-THE fish in the lakes and streams
constitute one of the most important
and valuable food products for the
people and have great economic
value in addition to their value to the
angler and sportsman. With national
law enforcement that hostage will be
protected for the next generation, to
whom the conscientious game pro-
tector mast look for appreciation of
his work"

week was for 2l.500 tons. American
rail mills are much interested in the
large prospective demand this year
for South AmericaaD Japan, large
share of which will come to them.
Among structural orders are 5000 tons
of bridge work for New England
railroad and 1900 tons for two build
ings IN San Francisco.
The pipe and tube trade is in an ex-
ceptional positions. One large tube
company has been forced TO withdraw
prices aud has notified the trade that
no more orders would be booked for
shipment prior to June l, prices to be
fixed at the time of shipment of order.
Other mills have Withdrawn their
prices and are quoting an advance of
81 to 81 per ton.
The sheet and tin plate mills are
running under tremendous pressure.
There is some talk of advances Ia
prices, but it is well understood that
the leading interest is opposed to any
such action.
Unemployment makers and the mills
rolling bars and merchant. shapes are
still negotiating over the fixing of
prices on season contracts. Last year
the mills made concessions, but they
show little disposition to do so this
year.

THE COMING ELECTION.
Candidates Beginning to Take
Active Part.

| Local politics at this writing are
beginning to warm up considerable
more than at first expected. There
are now several candidates out for the
various offices and it is expected that
before the caucuses next week there
will be several more.
For mayor, Olof Knutson and Mike
Weinzierl are the contestants. Both
are well known and have served the
city before. Mr.. Knutson is at pres
ent an alderman and Mr.. Wenzierl
has held the office of mayor.
For treasurer. L. B. Brockway, the
present treasurer. is the only candi-
date for the nomination. Mr.. Brock
way has filled the position satisfac-
tory to all.
Frank Hodge is out after the as
sessorship with no opposition. Mr..
Hodge has held the position before.
The judgeship. so far as known, is
looked for by the present incumbent,
Thos. f. Whitta.
The special judge is being strived
for by s. s. Childers, who no doubt
could fill the Office to the satisfaction
of all.
For aldermen, the names of Mike
Murphy and John Gouze are before
the people for nomination in the first
ward; f. B. James and John Porthan
in the second ward and Mako Petritz

INCREASED PRODUCTION
OF Pig Iron Shown By Statistics
for Month.

The Iron Age says: The monthly
pig iron statistics collected by the
Iron Age show the output for Febru-
airy, a short month, of coke and an
thracite pig iron amounted to 2.O45. 06S
tons, as compared with 2,2O5, 6O7 tons
in January.
This is an increase in the daily rate
Of production from II 148 tons in Jan
uary to 73,O28 tons in February, an in
crease of 1850 tons daily. OF this.
however, 1,7O0 tons daily is due to the
larger output of the Steel works fur
naces, which made 1,3l7.923 tons in
February as compared with 406, 397
tons in January. This shows that the
output of the merchant furnaces,
supplying the open market. has not
yet been materially increased.
Indications from the achievements
thus far this month are that the
March output of pig iron and of flu
ished products of the largest producer
will succeed the banner record of Oc-
tober last. Possibly record tonnage
may also be attained in steel.
In pig iron both sides maintain
defensive attitude, and there is COM
paratively little business doing for
delivery during the second quarter.
Some offerings of for sign foundry iron
are at prices considerably below the
domestic prices for like deliveries. A
large electric company is in the mar
ket for 10,700 tons of foundry iron.
but otherwise the demand Is not large.
For early delivery Bessemer pig is
as tight as 1t well could be in the Gen.
trail West. and considerable tonnage
could be marketed If it were at all
available.
