Iron Ore

Interest in the iron ore situation has
shifted TO New York. where prices for
this year are being considered By re-
representatives. of eastern and central
western companies In the Cleveland
district. one company has made sale
OF 100. 900 tons OF iron ore analyzing 46
per cent natural. AS this is low
grade, and as prices of lower grades are
not figured as are the prices OF stand
ard grades. but are merely subject to
negotiation OF buyers and sellers. these
recent sales do not determ inc what the
market will be When asked, however,
what base price he had in mind when
making this sale OF 46 per cent iron,
the seller laughed and said: "Oh. that
would be telling" He added, how
ever. that II he could sell ore at 80
cents less than last years prices. he
would do 80, but that 10 would be alb.
sointely impossible to sell DOW at that
reduction. "If. he said. II were to
make the price 30 cents below last year.
furnace men might at once conclude
that they could do better. and they
would wait TO see what their fellows
were doing. There seems to be no
chance Of selling ore at present at any
price which is likely TO be made by the
leading companies or others.

EMERSON hoU0H CLAIMS NEW.
TON, IOWA, As THE CITY OF
HIS BIRTH.
SUCCESSFUL NOVELIST
VISITING IOWA RELATIVES
Has Brother at Waterloo and Sister At
Nswton-After Small Success Author
Jumped Into Fams With His Story
"The Mississippi Bubble" in 1902 -
Pen Picture Of Houah.

Waterloo. July 15.-Emerson Hough,
| magazine specialist. who Is spending a
few days in Waterloo with his brother.
Dr. Norman H. Hough, is an interest,"
ing man to meet, tho he speaks most
modestly of his personal success in the
world Of letters.
1T is hard to say" he remarked,
"just why success comes, whether
thru luck or genius or advertising. "A
man may work for years, turning out
what he considers good. Suddenly
something he regards as perhaps In
ferior to preceding efforts, attracts
public attention. and he has sprung in
to popularity"
So it was with Mr.. Hough. He was
in Chicago as correspondent for the
New York forest and Stream" AS he
expressed 1t, he was broke" To sup
plement his regular work. he COM
menced writing at night on story
work His Singing Mouse" stories,
published in 1893 first won him lit
tie attention. Later came. THE Cir!
at the Half Way House. but it was
not until 1902 when The Mississippi
Bubble" came from the press, that he
fully Won favor with the American
public AS all these were written be-
tween the hours of 10 p. m. and
M they show the indontable persist
ence of the man.
Since then, Mr.. Hough has turned
GU. other still more successful novels.
"54-40 or Fight" published in 1909
had wonderful sale, the entire first
edition of 100000 copies being sold i'm
mediately after publication. Among his
other novels are Hearts Desire" Law
of the Land" THE Way of Man."
and STORY of a Cowboy" His last
published novel is THE Purchase
Price, while new novel, just finished
but not yet published, is to be
called John Rawn and Ourselves"
In his three last novels, Mr.. Hough
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1911-07-15

has been developing the democracy
idea in America. $3.50 or Fight
tells OF the famous war over the
boundary question; "The Purchase
Price" pictures the south before the
civil war, and John Rawn and Our
selves" Is a business novel showing the
Chicago OF today.
Mr.. Hough has pictured frontier
America In several Of his novels for
he has always found the frontier side
Of life most fascinating. The con-
quest Of the frontier he declares Is a
romance in itself, and the passing OF
frontier life and Of the old Indian
fighters and beaver trappers marks the
end of the most romantic period OF the
nations history.
Mr. Hough feels that American his
tory could be made study Of enjoy
ment for young people could 1t be pre-
sented as the story 1t really was.
Housh q Great Traveller.
Mr.. Hough is a great traveller
tho many of his trips are made
with the view to securing material for
some of his work. He Is fond Of ash
ing and hunting and follows the
sports into the localities where they
may be best enjoyed. going TO Quebec
for salmon fishing, to Colorado on
hunting trips and elsewhere as inclina-
ton dictates. A hunting trip for
bear In northwest Alaska two years
ago was a dangerous and memorable
undertaking. but full OF interest be-
cause of the spice of danger incident
to 1t.
Works With Great Speed.
While at his home in Chicago. where
he has resided for the past twenty
years, Mr.. Hough follows a regular
routine In his work. He writes all
morning with frantic speed. being able
to turn out between 5000 and 5000
words. Then after lunch. he goes to
the city where he dictates his work to
q capable stenographer. making cor
rections while the idea is fresh in his
mind. MIR. Hough does not contlne
himself entirely to novel writing. but
turns out also an occasional short
story or a special article on industrial
lines. He feels that 1t is better to di-
versify his work for In this way he W III
not become a one-Styled novelist but
may retain the interest of the readlnS
public from several standponts. Thus.
since April /, Mr.. Hough has written 4
novel. q juvenile book. five short stor-
les and eight or ten department stories
Born in hawkeye State.
Mr.. Hough is a native Of Iowa ami
still retains his interest in his birth
place, Newton, to which place he went
from here to visit his sister. He is Z
graduate Of Iowa State University,
class of 1880, and occasionally returns
to visit his alma mater His wife. to
whom he was married fourteen years
ago, was a Chicago girl. She frequent
ly goes with him on his travels and en-
joys even the excitement and hardship
of the trips. They have visited nearly
every point of interest in the United
States and two years ago toured
Europe.
