GREAT ORE INCREASE
MESABA RANGE PRODUCTION
JUMPS 100000 TONS IN
SEVEN YEARS.
GOVERNMENT GlVESOUT FIGURES
Much Money Spent in Improving Re.
gion.-One-HaIf Of the Iron I'M
ports Come From the Island
of Cuba.

Washington, D. G. = A great ad-
vance in iron ore production has been
made in the Mesaba range in Mime
sofa, where the shipments have in
creased from 100000 tons in 1902
to 28,200,000 tons in 1909, according to
a report of the geological survey on
the movement of Lake Superior iron
ores.
In that region where the increase
has resulted from the continued ac-
tivity of the opened deposit and from
the extension of the operations of the
ore field beyond the Mississippi river,
the expenditures for railroads, perman'
ent mine equipment and explorations
indicate a faith in it's future. The
Lake Superior iron ore represent about
80 per cent of the total iron ore pro-
duction of the United States.
The Adirondack region of New
York, from which eastern furnaces
draw ore, has produced since it was
opened over 100 years ago about &c.
100000 tons. There are numerous
other fields supplying ore and during
last year the foreign iron ores i'm
ported aggregated 100000 long tons,
which is the maximum quantity i'm
ported in any one year. Over one
half of the imports were from Cuba.

MooRHEAD MUST GO "DRY."
S. S. Comstock Says Washington Off
ciaIs Stand SquareIy by Order.

Moorhead.-Former Representative
S. G.. Comstock and Mayor Davy have
returned from Washington, where
they went to put before the Indian de-
partment on Indian affairs the finan-
cial condition of Moorhead, and the eff
feet that the saloon closing order of
Special Agent Johnson would have
on the city.
In speaking of his trip Mr.. Com
stock said:
"The government is determined to
stop the sale of liquor to the Indians
and is taking drastic measures to
reach this end. AS far as the closing
order goes, it is positive in its state
ment that the saloons must be closed.
1 have received no information from
any source that would make me be-
lieve this order will not be enforced.
No one could regret more than 1 the
necessity for such trip, but any one
familiar with the finances of our city
will comprehend its imperative neces-
sity. The department is strongly
prejudiced against Moorhead because
of the undue proportion of saloons to
the population, and the impression
seems to be that the dealers in Moor
head have been engaged in the illegal
sale of liquor to the Indians"

ROBBERS LOOT A BANK
State Institution At Onsmia Robbed Of
$4,000 in Coin.

Milaca, MINI. Five burglars sue
ceSsfully blew the safe of the state
Bank at Onamia, got between $4,000
and $4,000 in currency and escaped In
a stolen rig toward Mile Laos. 1t is
believed they will try to elude their
pursuers by crossing the lake.
J. H. Mckenzie, lawyer and editor
of the village newspaper, was passing
the bank on his return from night
fishing trip when he was held up by
three of the robbers who were stand
ing watch outside. Thrusting revol-
vers into his face, they compelled him
to halt and keep quiet, which he did
while from inside the bank issued re-
ports of the boring of the safe door
and later the explosion.
A few minutes later the two safe
experts of the robber crew emerged
from the bank with their pockets load
ed with money. With final anG
threatening warning to the editor to
refrain from alarming the townspeo-
pie, the five robbers piled into a wa
gon, to which a spirited team was
hitched and drove swiftly away.
Onamia is in Mile Iacs county, on
the 500 Line and 80 miles from an
other town or railroad line. Owing
to it's isolated location it is believed
detectives of Minnesota State Bank
ers' association and the Interstate
Bankers Protective association have
more than a fair chance to apprehend
the band.
AS soon as the robbers had fed be-
yond pistol shot, Mr.. Mckenzie shout
ed the alarm to the townspeople. He
then called ]. H. McGilvra, president
of the bank at Milaca, by telephone.
The latter notified Charles r. Frost of
Minneapolis, secretary of the Inter
state Bankers Protective association.
Detectives were at once dispatcher to
the village.
The village marshal of Onamia was
engaged in quelling a miniature In
dian outbreak at the edge of town
while the burglars were working on
the safe. The Indians were drunk and
fighting. 1t is believed the robbers
provided the Indians with liquor so as
to get the marshal out of the way.

ANDERSON OUTLINES CAMPAIGN.
Country Leaders Believe the Lanes

Albert Lea. - The insurgent Re-
publicans assembled here, and the
first gun in the campaign against Con-
gressman James A. Tawney has been
fired. Sydney A. Anderson of Lanes
boro, Fillmore county, the candidate of
the progressives was present, and
made stirring address to the as
sembled progressives, outlining what
might be expected of him, should he
be elected and also what sort of a
campaign might be hoped for.

were present from practically every
county in the district and many of the

asm over Mr.. Anderson's entrance in
to the field
Thomas Frazer of Rochester, one of
the most radical of the insurgents
stated that in Olmsted county the dis
satisfied voters had been only awaiting

and that they had taken up with And
erson at once, and would support him
to the last ditch.
He is confident that Tawney will

entrance and believes that they now
stand good chance to make deep in
roads into Tawney's vote in Winona
county. T. P. Kelley of Owatonna, who
was originally urged to make the run,
was present at the meeting and pledg-
ed his hardest efforts towards the sue
cess of the progressives. He has can
and is of the opinion that Tawney will
lose the county by considerable ma
jority.
Campaign Short.
The campaign agreed upon is to be
short and decisive. Anderson will
speak in every voting precinct in the
district and will conduct whirlwind
fight.

the time remaining is too brief, he
cites the fact that Knatvold made but
a three weeks campaign and yet

in some strenuous days from now until

Papers to Be Used.
One of the first things that will be
done, is to line up those papers which
are opposed to Tawney and endeavor
to conduct through them a liberal ad-
vertising campaign, the idea of Ander-
son being that as much publicity as
possible is desirable
Levang cited long list of papers
throughout the district which were to
| be counted as insurgent publications.
The active campaign will begin the lat
ter part of the week when Anderson
will sound the keynote of his fight and
will make public declaration of his
platform.

THE OIL OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Some Advice Concerning the Virtue
of Freely Awarding Praise Where

Don't be afraid to praise people,
Charles Battell Loomis writes in
Smiths magazine. It is all very well
to say that it hurts boy or man
or a woman to praise; there may be
those who do their best work without
encouragement, but let US remember
that nearly all of us who live on this
earth are human being, and human
beings work best when encouraged.
1t is a great mistake not to tell
people when you are satisfied with
them. If the cook sets before you
q dinner fit for king tell her so.
Don't be too lofty to praise the Of
fee boy If his work is commendable.
Tell him so.

give praise than 1t is for them to
give money. Many a generous man

BLUFF is GIVEN TO RED WING
sold Sentinel" Becomes Property of
City; Will Be Park.

Red Wing-After several years of
agitation to save Barn Bluff for picnic
purposes and prevent further quarry
ing, the "Old Sentinel" as it is some
times affectionately called, has been
donated to the city of Red Wing.
James Lawther, who now lives in
Ireland and who recently donated $780,
900 for the Y. M. G. A. building here,
offered to buy the bluff for the city,
giving other citizens the privilege to
participate. Accordingly announce
ment was made that Mr.. Lawther, the
Bank of Pierce, Simmons and company,
the Red Wing Manufacturing COM
pany and c. A. Beecher would jointly
give the famous bluff to the city.
Barn bluff was once suggested as a
state park because of it's unusual nat
ural beauty. There is much rejoicing
over the happy outcome of the contro-
versy which for some years threat
ened to disrupt Red Wings unity.

Before leaving Muskogee in No

erty for "a acres of farm land worth
$4,000, agreeing to pay the difference,
which amounted to $4,000. 1 found
that I could not meet the require
ments of the transaction, so 1 made
application to the state for loan from
the school fund. In December, after
my arrival at Washington, 1 received
a letter from Guthrie denying my re-
quest.
"a few days later McMurray told
me that he had the necessary money
and could make the loan, but ques-
toned the propriety of our entering
into a deal of this kind. This was
the first time that the matter was
brought to my attention in that light,
and it was dropped then and there.
Mr.. McMurray never loaned me the
money"
