Fay Caaanea Copper Company.

This company has decided to
place 25,0OO shares of it's treasury
stock on the market at $500 per
share down, $500 per share subject
to call, $500 per share. Through
the courtesy of Mr.. N. L. Fay, the
president, we are able to offer the
range people 5000 shares at the
above named price. We have only
30 days to dispose of this allotment
or unit! July oath at 6 p. M, 80 get
you orders in at once. We expect
to sell this number in a few days,
and asked Mr.: Fay TO- allot us 10000
instead of 5000, but he was unable
to do 50. You all known Mr.. Fay
and what a success he has made of
the Calumet and Sonora mine. The
stock of the latter was put on the
market at $500 per share early last
year and in December OF the same
year it sold at $500 per share. The

State Gamiaer Reports On Cooditioa
Of School District No. n.


Col. 3. C. Johnson, from the Office
of the state examiner, has, under in.
structions, just completed an exam
ination of the records of several St.
Louis county school districts, the
local district, No. q, being includ.
ed in the report as made and pub.
lished at length in the Duluth pa.
pers Wednesday evening and yes.
terday morning.
The points of omission and com.
mission noted in the report on Dis.
trict No. ~ are in several instances
accredited to the new school laws
passed at the session of 1907. al
though the direct charge that the
records lare not kept up to date
cannot be attributed to such acts.
However, if there are questions to
be asked of the members of the
board it may be done at the annual
meeting at the Roosevelt building
tomorrow, by any interested tax
payer. AT this meeting, also, the
law regulating the awarding and
payment of salaries will doubtless
be carefully adhered to.

SPENDS ITS MONEY.
Steel Trust to Substitute Ooea Hearth
for bessemer. =.

That was an interesting and Gig
nificaut dispatch in the Journal
which announced the decision of
the Steel Trust to spend hundred
millions in substituting the open
hearth process for the bessemer
process now used in making steel
for rails. The substitution is to be
made gradually, 80 that the -divi-
dends of stockholders may not be
cut into too radically, but eventu.
ally all rails are to be made from
open.hearth steel. i
The decision, of course, is SUBJ
stantial admission that'a very con.
siderable share of the railroad acct
dents of today in this country are
due to defective rails. The besse
mer process, as has been frequently
explained, gives the steel-maker no
control over the amount of phos-
phorous in his product, while
the open hearth process per-
mits him to reduce it below the
danger point. The exhaustion of
low PHOSPHORUS ores and the pre-
ponderance of ores with too much
PHOSPHORUS in the present output
of the mines, make brittle steel in
evitable when the bessemer process
is used.
The promptness with which the
Steel Trust has responded to the de-
mands of the railroads, which in
turn were inspired by public opin-
ion, shows az ain that of all our
numerous brood of trusts, that in
steel is one of the kindest and gen.
tlest. Its heart is pretty near the
right place and its intentions are
honorable. While it gets high
prices for it's products, it means to
make them good. Can you imagine

SEASONABLE HEADGEAR.
Some Of the Hats Of tho Season and
Their Adornmcnt.

Hats and hats and still more hats we
see now in windows. showcases and
incidentally on FUZZY heads. Those on
the heads are always the pre:tiest. for
they have achieved their manifest des-
tiny, and it go"S without saying that
no hat is ever chosen 10y sensible
woman-and all women are supposed
to show sense In the choice of their
bonncts unless it is becoming. and
thus hat and woman are the natural
compliments of each other and each
enhances the othAAS beauty.
Just now the liking for long ostrich
plumcs in high or dropping masses
seems to be rather greater than that
for flowers, the natural alorumcnt for
warm weather millinery. The straws
are of many kinds, and all are fine and
handsome, one in particular having Il
web as fine as IA 2aMa of oldcn
times. Milan braid. fine lc~hOrn and
no end Of chips and Japanese braids
are seen, most of these being trimmed
with malinrS. lace, flowers or plumes
and sometimes with all of them. To
partiCulaviZe | may mention n very
fetching hat of drab French chip in the
old style fiat shape. but this IS curved
into several dents to adapt Ii to the
face it is intended to adorn. and for
trimming there is full rich drapery

now IS to have tn" hat nearly straight

Gne very dressy hat Of pearl colored
chip that | have seen was bent to

pink rose set In the middle half hidden
in Il mass Of pearl white malineS, with
two immense plumes falling down to
the collar In the back. The left side
was lifted slightly and had smaller
plume curlcd in under. One pale blue
French braid was tilted up high at the
left side with a large bunch Of yellow
daisies half imbedded in the mass OF
blue tulle with which the outer side
of the brim was heavily draped, with
II bunch of the same daisies along the
right side
Naturally these hats OF many plumes
and much tulle and malines and gar
dcns of fragile blossoms are for such
days and places as offer protection
from the elements, and headwear OF
more substantial material must be pro-
vidcd, and for these requirements we
find canvas hats made waterproof and
they are trimmed with ribbon or wings
or some other material that will stand
wetting if II so happens. One Of this
Kind is turned up high on the left side,

wing and fancy buckle, no other trim

RIVALRY IN TOWN BOOMING.
Indian Territory Cities Vie With Each
Other For Population and Progress.

Indian Territory Cities Vie With Each
Other For Population and Progress.
In Indian Territory. which is to be
part of the rev state of Oklahoma,
they know how to build towns. They
know how to boom towns after they
also. Just now IN Interesting rivalry
is going on among the several big
towns of the territory. This is noticed
particularly in MuSkogce and South
Me- lester. These two cities are avow-
ed rivals.
MuSkoEee is the seat of the Indian
the center Of Il great coal mining sec
ton. For some years past each city
has employed an energetic boomer who,
aS secretary of the local commercial
club has presented the merits and ad-
vantaGcS of his town To the outside
public in an attractive manner. Re
Gently South McAleSter sent up and
hired MuSkogec'S boomer, doubling his
salary, because Muskogce'S population
has good deal more than doubled in
five years. Now MuSkoGcc is making
an extra effort to head off South Nc
AleSter, which is pressing her closely
for premier place as to population.
These Indian Territory people are
proud of their towns. You cannot find
a man in either of the cities mentioned
who ever let's pass an opportunity to
boast of his home place. Every man
thinks his town is the best on earth.
Every citizen is firmly convinced in his
own mind that his particular town is
TO become the biggest city in the new
state. You can't head off town
whose inhabitants feel that way. 1t
is no more possible to stop the forward
march of Il town with people like that
than It IS to lessen the speed of an
Oklahoma jack rabbit that has passed
out Of gun range.
