IRON ORE LANDS oPTIoNED.
Capitalists of Superior Impressed With
Finds In Douglas County.

Superior.-That Douglas county,
particularly the southwestern part, is
rich in iron ore of different grades,
is the report that G. A. Russell of
this city brings after a prospecting
trip. Reports of the discovery of iron
ore deposits in this county have been
frequent of late, and in the opinion of
mining men, it will not be long before
low grade ore will be taken from the
vicinity of Superior.
Mr.. Russell brought with him sam
pies of ore which he has had assayed,
and is entirely satisfied with the
chemists reports. With other capital
lists he has secured an option on some
of the land, which he thinks is in the
ore district. According to the prelim-
mary assays, the low grade ore can
be mined in sufficient quantities to
pay. Persons have been prospecting
in the southwest corner of the county,
and assert that bog ore can be found
in large quantities on the new range.
The ore is higher grade than the usual
bog mineral, and there are indica-
tons Of higher grade ore in several
places.

MILWAUKEE TO EXTEND LINE.
Proposed Route Will Traverse Rich
Agricultural Land.

Belle Fourche.-That northwestern
South Dakota is destined to be one
Of the thickly populated sections of
the state, is indicated from the activ-
ity in railroad circles. 1t is declared
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul road, recognizing the POSSIBLE
tiles in Harding and Perkins counties,
recently organized, has decided to
traverse them still further. 1t is
planned to commence at Lennon,
passing south through the center of
Perkins county, touching Bison, the
county seat, proceeding to the Moreau
river and thence west into Harding
county, taking in Buffalo, it's county
seat, Camp Crook, Harding, and con-
tinuing on into Montana through
Ekalaka, where it will connect again
with the main line at Miles City.
This new proposed route would take
in a section of country that is fast fill
ing up with agriculturalists and set
tiers. Within the past two months,
heavy purchases Of land have been
quietly made along the proposed route
of way, tending to show that some
have had an intimation of the roads
intention.

S. D. EXPRESS RATES CUT.
WeIIs-Fargo Company Alone Is Stand
ing Out Against New Schedule.

Sioux Falls.-A new schedule of eX-
press rates, which, in accordance with
an act of the last legislature, pro-
vides for a reduction of 20 per cent
from the rates in effect Jan. l last,
has been formally adopted by the
state board of railroad commissioners
as the result of an adjourned meeting
which has just been held by the board
at it's headquarters in Sioux Falls.
With the exception of the Wells
Fargo Express Company, all the eX-
press companies doing business in
South Dakota have abided by the new
rate; but the Wells-Fargo Company,
alleging that, as it only a few weeks
ago took over the business of carry
ing express on the lines of the Chi,
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
Company in the state, it did not have
any rate in effect in South Dakota on
Jan. l last and, therefore, is not sub
ject to the reduction ordered by the
legislature, which is provided in the
new schedule just put into effect by
the railroad commissioners.
In view of the fact that the Wells
Fargo Company is standing out
against the reduced rates, the rail
road commissioners will meet at
Mitchell on July 81, when the whole
matter of express rates in South Da-
kota will be gOne into.

Three of the victims who were
killed were members of a gang of 2t
Italian laborers employed On the rail

several box cars. These were sta

near the railroad yards, and were first
in the path of the cyclone. Nineteen
of the men were painfully injured and
two may die.

slo iNrERuRDAN PROJECT.
TO Connect Manitowoo and Green
Bay, and Manitowoc and
Sturgeon Bay.

Manitowoc.-A deal Of immense pro-
portions will probably be consummat-
ed here as the result of a visit here
of George Caldwell, George Taylor,
L. Myers of Chicago. and A. NJ. Muir
ply, w. p. Wagner, r. M. Howard and
f. II. Josslyn of Green Bay and Osh-
kosh.
They propose to transmit power
from the Peshtigo river above Green
Bay to Manitowoc and Two Rivers.
They are also interested in an inter
urban project which may lead to the
absorption of the Higgins line, the
Manitowoc and Northern Traction
Company, between here and Two
Rivers, and it is also reported that
the new deal will probably result in
the connection Of Manitowoc with
Green Bay via Two Rivers, Mishicott
and Cooperstown.
Another deal reported is the build
ing of an i%nterurban north from Two
Rivers to Algoma, Kewaunee and
Sturgeon Bay along the lake shore.
If these plans are carried out and the
Milwaukee & Northern connects She
boygan and Manitowoc, as is planned,
there will be a continuous i~nterurban
line from Sturgeon Bay south to Chi
cage along the west shore of Lake
Michigan.
The promoters are now building an
immense power plant on High Falls,
on the Peshtigo river.

BRYAN OPENS cHAUTAUoUA.
Orator 10 Given Royal Welcome at
Watertown-3,oo0 Hear Address.

INSTRUMENTATION an audience OF
over 5000 people William Jennings
Bryan opened the 1909 WATERFOWL
C~hautauqua. He expressed himself
on some of the political questions OF
the day, and particularly regarding
the pending tariff legislation. which
he said vas confirming every day his
opinion formed during the campaign
last fall. He said:
Il am not surprised at all. The use
Of the word Revise instead OF the
word reduce raised a suspicion in my
mind at the time the campaign was
being made, and the fact that Pres
ident Taft spoke so ~guardedly on the
subject only strengthened my suspi-
cion.
The trouble is that it is impossible
to secure any material reduction as
long as those in power insist on sup
porting the doctrine Of protection.
The moment that you concede that
the protective theory should prevail
in the making of a tariff law you have
established a fight between districts,
and the result is merely a proposition
Of barter and trade from that on.
1--WE will have no real reduction
until we reform on the tariff for
revenue theory"
OF Aldrich and his supporters Mr..
Bryan said:
Il think it is unfair to give Mr.. Aid
rich all this credit. He is merely act
ing as a representative of predatory
interests, and they have their repre-
sentatives working around, rounding
up the senators and representatives,
SO that Mr.. Aldrich has less to do
with the tariff than appears on the
surface"

RECLAMATION FUND INCREASES
$4,000 Raised from Sale of Public
Lands During Year.

Washington, July 10.-Increase of
the reclamation fund by the disposal
of public lands for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, is estimated at $7,770,000
Not all Of the land Offices have made
their returns so that this estimate Is
subject to minor corrections.
There has also accrued to the fund
through the repayment of building
charges, in round numbers, 81, 600, 900.
Not all of this Is paid in, however, as
the charges do not become delinquent
until after the failure to make two
payments. Most settlers put off max
ing these payments until the last mo-
ment, and there is thus afforded prac.
tically two years delay.
The balance available in the treas
ury to meet existing contracts and to
carry on the work to December 81
this year, is in round numbers, $4.-
100000. In addition there is an
amount of $1,400. 900 from the $780,
900 above named, this being advanced
to owe contracts now in hand. Elk.
listing contracts and liabilities on un-
paid accounts and expenses incidental
to carrying out various contracts will
absorb all Of this amount. Plans are
therefore being made to utilize the
funds obtainable for 1910.
The plans will be presented to the
secretary Of the interior after a con.
ference Of leading engineers Of the
reclamation service at Portland, Ore,
during the latter part of July.
