THE ORE MOVEMENT
CONTINUES SLOWLY
SHIPPERS IN NO HURRY AND BUT
FEW VESSELS IN COMMISSION
LOCAL SITUATION IMPROVING
Better Feeling Is Evidenced in the Com
munity as A Result OF aoekpiIe
Shipments

Ore is going forward to the docks al
all ports but very slowly. A Duluth
report says that just enough ore IL
being forwarded from the Mesabi to
keep what few boats that are running
supplied. The shipments TO the Mesabi
dock last week amounted to but i2O 900
tons and that to the other docks at the
head of the lakes was in proportion.
The vesselmen are. seemingly, In no
hurry to start the big movement AZ
they figure that short brisk season is
preferable TO long drawn out one
with no business and cut rates.
Locally the situation Is very much
improved over what IL was several
weeks ago The shipping Of the stock
piles has cheered mp the people very
perceptibly as the miners can see some
thing in sight for next winter with the
ore piles gone.
The pocket shipments are not very
brisk yet as tine output is not being
rushed. the operators being more de-
sirous of getting the stocked ore out Of
the way
About 100 men were added to the
working forces all around last week
and there is said to be prospects OF
more being added soon.
Residents should not advise outside
woikmen to come here as the number
OF men to be put on is very limited and
many have come here already from
towns and been very dis
appointed. Almost every noon and
night the captains at the working |
mines find their offices surrounded by
men seeking work. These meh come,
mostly from other towns and. of coarse.
are sent away empty handed.

The Iron Market.

The Iron Age says THE consensus
of opinion from all the leading markets
throughout the country is that the re-
duction in the prices OF finished wire
and steel made last week has done little
to stimulate buying. The exception is
in steel bars. la which considerable
tonnage has been placed. From Pitts
burg comes the report that three lead
ing interests Of the district have booked
about 250, 900 tons with agricultural
implement makers considerable part
however, prior TO the agricultural inn
plement inquirements, that quite a
large tonnage of unspectied contracts
were carried over from the contract
year just ending
There has been fair movement Of
pig iron In the Chicago district from
which emanate reports Of sale of
40, 900 tons by southern furnace COM
pany TO "a large manufacturing Interest
along the seaboard There have been
some sale Of foundry, forge and basic
irons, but the consumers now seem
fairly satisfied while there is still some
pressure 10 sell
The sellers of lake ore have formal
ly announced the reduction OF fifty
cents per ton. The pig iron makers
state that this is not likely 10 lead 10
corresponding reduction in the metal
becanse the decline In pig iron during
the past few months has more than
discounted any lowering in the price OF
raw material
The Iron Trade Review says: "A
reduction In the price vf crude stee
and a number of finished products
has been followed by some increase In
specification bat there is little. II any.
increase In demand for any finished
product. except steel bars. for which a
fair amount OF contracting has been
done by manufacturers OF agricultural
implements. At time wnen politics
Is receiving much attention there il
some satisfaction Ia recalling that the
last presidential year was characterized
BY decided improvement in the iron

year.

or these anecdotes, told by a senator
who was considered one OF the hest
lawyers in that body and one of tbe
most jealous of the character of his
profession, was particularly siqnif,-
cant. He heard a rumor that Presi-

FEDERAL Judge in one of the -terrItor-
les of the United States. The senator
happened TO know that the fudge was
lawyer of excellent ability and un-
common fitness for the bench and
he went to the President to remon-
state against so extreme a measure
as the removal of a Judge unless
there were cogent reasons for II con-
nected with the administration OF
the office.
President Grant admitted that as
far as he knew there was no allega-
ton OF the unfitness of the Judge.
bait he added, the governor OF the
territory writes me that he cannot

The ancedote was received by the
listeners with laugh but the mirth
was not far from head shaking APP

TESTING OF WOOD
WITH THE MICROSCOPE

A new line OF work consisting OF
the microscopic examination OF wood
after IL breaks in a testing apparatus.
has just been started by the Office of
wood utilization in the United States
forest service.
The structure OF wood is complex.
Every species has several different
kinds OF cells, each OF which has It's
own size and form. There is also a
wide variation IN the number and
arrangement OF the cells in differ
serent species. These differences
structure have Their bearing on the
stre2gth of the wood.
For some time past the forest
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1908-10-06

service has been carrying on a large
number of tests on many kinds OF
wood In order to determine their
strength, stiffness, elasticity, an!
other physical properties, so that
they may be used to the best possible
advantage in construction. The ap-
plication of microscopic work to such
tests should give better knowledge
OF the conditions on which the
strength of wood depends.
Laymen will not understand the
significance OF the proposed micro
Scopic Investigations so quickly as
architects, builders and other wood
users, who, in these days of grow
ing scarcity of the more valuable
woods, will find the knowledge In
valuable.
Other problems connected with the
structure of wood, such as the prep.
aration of wood pulp and the treat
ment of wood with preservatives, wiz
no doubt be aided by this new study.
