New York. July 3.-The activity OF to-
days stock market was so further COM
pressed within narrow limits that trans
actions were only T2.0OO shares. being not
only the smallest OF the year to date. but
surprising the previous low record of re-
cent times. that Of 1888 shares on March
10 1904; while considering the greater
volume of stock exchange listings of Sc

greater than represented in the mathe-

Such a condition Of affairs as this
meant Of course, that In many stocks.
even those rightly belonging I'm the ac-
tive and prominent class, there had been
no transactions at all, that people on the
floor of the stock exchange were largely
composed Of khaki-clothed messengers
and that the security market was sub
stantially nonexistent Toward the close
OF business, however, the market quick
ened its pace, with the result that has
been mentioned
Previously. fluctuations in prices had
averaged not more than a quarter of a
point in such stocks as were bought and
sold at all, but in the last half hour. as
the result of covering purchases by opera
tors for the fall. due 70 an increasing
appreciation Of the frmness displayed by
the market, prices so rallied that final
net gains were considerably greater than
the previous range covered, and were
moreover generally distributed.
The features Of the market were again
to-day, aside from the practically unpre-
cedented dullness. the hardening tendency
shown in prices and the strength OF the
bond market. Dealings in bonds. though
not as large as yesterday. were once more

dispatch from Charlotte, n. c., the un-

beside the railroad track Sunday night.
is supposed 70 be Frank Hargett a West

There has not been any Identification, Of

for some time past, has been. with his

upon returning home yesterday, discV-

Chief Goods to-day received a number
OF letters from different parts Of the
State, asking for a description Of the
dead youth. None OF the descriptions
given In the letters Tailed with the body.
The Consensus Of opinion is that Alex

II is believed that the city council will
IN the near future pass a law having for
its object the photographing Of unknown
dead and keeping a record giving a
minute description Of mem. The opera
tion Of such a bureau would cost the city
bat a trifle. and would save considerable

WHERE, OH! WHERE?
Do the Ranges Get Off at in the
Late Move
Road Commission for St. Louis County,
Pretty Thing-==for Duluth

excess of what the upper end of the
county thought was just exactly
right. There was no use to kick
and Duluth got the money until
this year, the ranges are getting, at
least, an equal division.
There is not road leading out
of Duluth but what is an automobile
track by the side of the range thor
oughfares. Still, the larger part of
the money yearly goes to improv-
ing the Duluth roads. The country
that actually needs the funds is cut
off with a pittance.
The range papers and the people
want to be just a little careful about
lending themselves to every move
made even if it is by the powerful
and influential Commercial Club of
Duluth. The new Court House
has become reality for Duluth
through the assistance of the range
members of the county board and
now that Duluth will get the bulk
of the money foriseveral years, why
not give the ranges show or even
a look in in the matter of roads.
We need the roads and need them
badly and think the movement to
create a commission by legislative
enactment another shrewd move to
get it all on the part of the south
end.
We would advise little salt on
the scheme and little more expla-
nation and figures as to where we
are at.
The county commissioners are
abundantly able to handle the road
business without the assistance of a
road conmisssyI created BY law.
The commissioners are elected for
the purpose of.attending to the peo-
pies business and they are salts
factorily doing so. The movement
to create the commission on roads
coming as it does at the present time
in the footsteps of the recent road
fund division scrap among the COM
missioners rather looks suspicious
and would lead the man on the out
side to believe that there was some
thing behind the movement.
We may be seeing things, but
nevertheless think it good idea to
watch this move very closely.

Notwithstanding rumors to the

Saturday last the Commercial
| Club, of Duluth, one of the most
| influential bodies of representative
men in St. Louis County, decided
that the efforts of the Club should
go towards having the laws amend
ed to allow a road commission in
ST. Louis County consisting of the
Chairman of the county board, the
County Surveyor and some other
member to be named. Fright here
it may be we'll to state that the third
one would be Duluth man,
This road commission business
appears fine and dandy on the sur
face, but would it not be well for
the range people to just little bit
examine into the movement and see
where they are at?
Several weeks ago, when the
county commissioners had the road
funds to appropriate to the various
districts, the discussion developed
the fact that the ranges would get
what they got, and nothing more.
Commissioner Fischer, of Duluth,
who was not so hide bound as the
rest of the south end members, de-
cided with Commissioners McMah-
an, McInnis and Ryan and this
gave to the ranges share equal to
that of the other three districts Dor
dering onDuluth. This, according
to all accounts, was an unpardon-
able offense on the part of Comfnis-
sioner fischer, and one which was
not condoned even by the chairman
of the county board, as the program
had all been completed to give the
Duluth end the lions share as
usual.
It is a we'll known fact that the
range towns, which pay the larger
part of the taxes of St. Louis coun-
| ty, have for years been on the back
seat of the band wagon when it
came to a division Of the benefits.
For years, the immediate districts
about Duluth have received the bulk
of the road appropriations for the
simple reason that the Duluth mem
bers outnumbered the range mem
bers. The district controlled by
Commissioner Kauppi, has always
had the best of the deal and always
received a considerable amount in
