Missouri's Iron Industry.

Missouri's annual output of iron
ore receives considerable attention
from Commissioner ]. c. A. Hitler.
in the 1919 Red Book of the Blu
reau of Labor statistics in a chap
ter entitled, "A Stagnated Indus
try Revived"
Hidden awayujn the hills of
south Missouri, is iron ore, more or
less pure, but easily smelted and
otherwise prepared tor market,
worth millions of dollars, and in
sufficient quantities to last the
state many years, for all the pur-
poses this metal is now used for
here" declares the article in ques-
ton. There is enough iron ore
left in the Ozark regions to sup
ply all the steel necessary for the
rails needed to double Missouri's
railroad milage, which at present
exceeds 5000 miles, and cover the
state with a net work of main sys-
TENS"
Missouri is again taking rank
slowly, but surely, for the amount
of iron ore it is placing annually
on the market. Years ago in the
days of the old Vulcan furnaces
and rolling mill in Carondelet (now
the south end of St. Louis the
state ranked high for this commod-
fity. Iron Mountain, in St. Fran
co.'s county, was then one Of the
chief sources of supply. When
iron ore began to depreciate in val

down, one after the other, with the
exception of six or eight close to
the two smelters of Missouri, be-
cause it no longer paid to handle
and haul the ore any great dis
lance.
Three years ago work on the
deposits in and around Iron Noun
tain was resumed and since then
many thousands of tons have been
sent to market. The building Of
new and the extension of old rail-
roads in south Missouri. brought
many other rich iron deposits
closer to the consuming centers,
and gave this supposed dead in
dustry new stimulus. which has
continued ever since"

FIRE WREAKS HAVOC
AT FAIR GROUNDS
Flames Wiped Out $4,000 in
Buildings and Equipment
Sunday Afternoon. -

Fire, which is said to have been
set in the dry grass by a passing
Frisco engine, swept over the south
third of the Jasper county fair
grounds northwest of town yes
terday afternoon and burned down
all the buildings and fences on
that portion of the grounds except
the art hall. The loss is estimated
to be at least $4,000 and maybe
$4,000. None of the destroyed
property was insured. The art
hall and the grand stand are kept
insured, but these were saved.
Recourse will be had on the rail
road company for damages for the
loss and this will be matter of
adjustment. ,>
The destroyed property includes
the.cattlc sheds, the hog and sheep
pens, the office and entrances, the
horse sheds, and the race horse
barns and box stalls at the extreme
. east side of the grounds.
There were three horses on the
fair grounds, but they were safely
removed from the barns ahead OF
the fire and were afterwards in
stalled in the one barn which was
saved.
The fire started at I 80 O clock
in the afternoon in tall grass in the
small pasture tract Immediately
west of the fairgrounds. A high
wind from the west was blowing
at the time. Someone passing
Tom Halls residence on bicycle,
close to the fair grounds, first saw
the smoke curling up from the
grass. He called Mr.. Hall out at
once and pointed out the danger
Gus situation. He and Mr.. Hall
and others went to the fair grounds
as fast as they could go, but even
before they got to the grounds,
only a quarter OF a mile to the
north of them. the fire had already
gotten into the cattle sheds and
was spreading fast
The water works system does
not reach the fair grounds, which
is beyond the city limits, so there
was no efficient means for over
coming the flames in the high
wind which prevailed. An alarm
was sent in to the fire department
thinking that the hook and ladder
section of the equipment might be
needed before the fire was stopped.
However the fire department
boys had just been called to the
residence of f. L. Wright, on
lanes street, near the corner OF
Macon street, where they extin-
guishcd m embryo blaze. As
soon as they could get back to
headquarters and refill their chem
ical engines, they made the run to
the fair grounds.
There was nothing they could
do. however, as the fire had al
ready spread about as far as it
could. and the flames on the art
hall roof had already been extin-

even Indirectly responsible for the re-
lection of Mr.. Roosevelt as temporary
chairman of the state convention the
result would be that the Republican
party would be in an even worse con

it is now
It was then that Mr. Taft consented
to make it clear that he had never
raised so much as a finger to defeat
Mr. Roosevelt for the temporary
Craftsmanship Of the convention. that
he had always been opposed to any
suggestion of a contest at the meeting
of the state committee against Mr..
Roosevelt; that he had made this plain
to Mr. Sherman: that Mr. Sherman in
the presence of Representative Mich
olas LOngwOrth had promised him that
nothing would be done with regard to !
the selection or rejection of Mr. ROOse- |
velt until in the interest Of harmony !
Mr.. Roosevelt had been consulted. Mr.

Mr.. Griscom does away altogether WIN
the wild stories which have been float

a break between Mr. Taft and Mr..

president had nothing to do with the
turning down of Roosevelt by the state
committee and that it was in fact his
hope that there Should be harmony at
the meeting. When the news of the re-
suit of the meeting reached the presi.
dent he was told that Mr.. Roosevelt
was inclined to blame him for what oc-
CURED. and Mr. Taft was advised by
some of his closest friends to come out
with a statement showing that so far
from doing anything which might split
the Republican party in this state. he
had on the contrary advised that moth
ing should be done which would tend
to show that there was even a sem
blance of a possibility of a break be
tween himself and the former presi /
dent Mr. Taft told friends that to do
so would put him in the light of TAX

and that both had been assured by the

at the meeting that the selection OF
