Daniel Fahrenheit.

In view of the abnormal weather
which we have had this summer we
think a tribute of respect should be-
paid to the memory of Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit, who was born on Septem-
Der 16, either in 1885 or 1740, it is
hard to say which. Before his day sew
eral attempts had been made to meas
ure the heat level, not the heat, by
tubes containing oil of spirits of wine,
but it lay with bankrupt merchant
of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine; but the ingeni-
GUS Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium, and so it has remained
to this day. His instruments speedily
became known throughout the world,
and though a more rational method of
graduation has since been adopted, the
popular mind still clings to the Fab
renheit scale. Our own Royal society
thought highly of this humble inven-
tor and acknowledged his genius by
making him one of it's fellows. To the
Transactions" of the society he con-
tributed several papers.-Pall Mall

MINI. DA|RYMEA WINNERS
AWARDED $500 SILVER CUP AT IN.
TERsTATE CONTEST.
Decision Is Made BY Federal Inspec.
tors-loWa Is Second and
Wisconsin Third.

The National Buttermakers' Assocla-
ton officially declared Minnesota but
ter to be the best made in the United
States and awarded this state the sill
yer cup, valued at $500, for winning
the interstate butter contest at Mil
waukee
The decision of the judges, who are
federal inspectors and who have no in
terest in any state, places Minnesota
buttermakers in a class by themselves,
although they have won banners and
prizes for eleven years with the ex-
ception of two years, when the cham
pionship went to New York and Illi-
nois respectively.
The outcome of the contest came
as a surprise, especially to Wisconsin
buttermakers, who last year won the
contest by one-eighth of a point over
Minnesota.
Iowa Takes Second Prize.
This year Wisconsin was awarded
third prize, Iowa winning second.
Minnesota had eighty-two entries and
secured total score of 7,697.61 points,
or an average of 1888. Iowa entered
thirty-seven competitors and received
total score of 3,450.99, or an aver
age of 1927 points. Wisconsin had
1913 entries and scored 1902 points,
with an average of 92.76.
Rivalry Is Keen.
This years contest was the most
stubborn ever waged between high
class buttermakers, not only because
of the magnificent prize and the pres
tige that it would bring to the state,
but because of the fact that the score
was so close last year that neither of
the states took any chances, but all
sent into the contest the best butter
that could be churned
Mr.. McCabe said that the butter en-
tered was sent from all parts of Min
nesota, and that the buttermakers Of
the entire state should be congratu-
lated on the result. Minnesota butter
is already famous, but the winning of
silver cup will make it more so.
The cup will be kept by Minnesota,
and will be taken care of by Mime
sofa State Dairymens Association.

MEDAL FOR cLITHERALL MAN.
Carnegie Commission Recognizes q
Minnesotan.

Pittsburg, Penn. Among scores
of persons who were awarded Carne-
gle hero medals by the Carnegie Hero
Fund commission at it's full meeting
here, as recognition of heroism in
saving human life or attempts in
which the life of the hero was leopard
lied, is John Murdoch, young farm
er of Clitherall, Ottertail county, MINI.
Young Murdoch was awarded a
bronze medal for an attempt to save
boy from drowning at Clitherall,
Dec. 1, 1910. Last winter a party of
boys were crossing the lake on skates
when one of them fell through an air
hole. The rest of the party rushed
to Murdock's house on the shore of
Lake Clitherall and called him to the
rescue.
Murdoch crept out on the ice to the
edge of the hole and saw the boys
body lying on the sandy bottom of the
lake IS feet below. He dived to the
bottom and brought the body to the
surface.
All efforts to resuscitate the boy
failed, but neighbors of Murdoch, i'm
pressed by his heroism in having
risked his life in the icy waters of the
lake, presented him with a gold watch
and sent record of the case to the
Carnegie Hero Fund commission with
recommendation that his valor be
recognized.

The iron ore properties of the Great
Northern railroad in 1906 were trans
ferred to Louis W. Hill, James ]. Hill
and Walter j. Hill, as trustees, the
100000 shares of beneficial interest
in the trust, equal to the number of
the shares of stock held, being issued
Dec. 2, 1906, to Great Northern stock
holders.
Confirmation of the rumor that the
Steel corporation would cancel it's
lease on the Hill ore holdings led close
students of the situation to refer to
the report of Herbert Knox Smith on
the United States Steel corporation as
a possible reason for the decision on
the part of the corporation.
Paragraph Pointed Out.
The following paragraph was espe-
cially pointed to as substantiating this
theory:
Hence, not only on account of it's
great holdings of ore. but also on &C.
count of these peculiar advantages
enjoyed in transportation of ore, the
Steel corporation occupies an ex-
tremely commanding position in iron
and steel industries. Indeed, insofar
as the Steel corporations position in
the entire iron and steel industry is of
monopolistic character, it is chiefly
through it's control of ore holdings and
transportation of ore"
For some time those who are best
informed regarding the makeup of the
United States Steel corporation have
regarded it's ownership of ore-carry-
ing railroads and rates charged to in
dependents for transportation of their
ore from upper lake ports as the most
vulnerable feature of it's position. In
fact, it has been pretty well under
stood that if the government suit is
brought against the Steel corporation,
this situation could form the chief
basis for it.
Profit Is Enormous.
With the ownership of these rail-
roads, the Steel corporation is able to
transport its ores at small relative
expense. On the other hand, it
charges Independents an S0-cent rate
for hauling their ores, whereas the
actual cost to the Steel corporation
for this haul is only about 20 cents
a ton.
United States Steel common was
weak throughout the session of the
stock exchange, suffering loss of Us
for the day on transactions in 10000
shares. Great Northern preferred,
however, closed unchanged at 1241s.
Great Northern ore certificates sold
down points from Tuesday night,
There was no heavy liquidation in
them as the total transactions were
only $50 shares.

New York, N. Yin view of the

Corporations Herbert Knox Smith to.
wards railroads and ore holding of
the United States Steel corporation,
the corporation has decided to can
eel its leases of the Great Northern
ore properties.

however, is undetermined, inasmuch
as the Hill ore contract stipulates that
the lease will continue until the ore is
exhausted, unless on Jan. /, 1915, the
lease is terminated under an option
reserved to the lessee"
Wall street was unable to figure out
how the abrogation of the contract
could be effected except by mutual
consent. Officials of the Steel cor
poration refused to state the reason
for the decision to cancel the big
lease, and this phase is matter of
conjecture.
Could Lease Lands Again.
1t was suggested that in the event
OF the cancellation of the lease, the
ore lands of the Great Northern could
be leased again, as whole or in par
cells, to other consumers of iron ore.
The effect of such a change on the
tonnage of ore transported to the up
per lake ports by the Great Northern,
it is said, is problematical. 1t would
doubtless be influenced somewhat by
the terms of whatever new leases
might be made.
If the land, or considerable por-
ton of it, were leased to producers of
iron not so well provided with other
sources of ore as the Steel corpora
ton, the result might be that this ore
would be taken out more rapidly than
has been the case so far under the
present lease to the Steel corporation.
In that event, the Great Northern
railway would benefit by the increased
tonnage.
1t has been suggested that the trus-
tees of the Great Northern ore lands
might engage in mining ore on be-
half of the certificate holders and sell
the ore instead of leasing the lands
1t is doubted that the Great Northern
would reacquire any interests in the
ore lands or that the title to them
now in trust would in any way be dis
turbed.
Include Vast Amount of Ore.
The Great Northern ore properties
are estimated to include deposits of
300, 100000 tons of iron ore. No fig
ures are available as to how much
ore has been mined since the open
Ing of the Great Northern properties.
The lease provides that the corpora
ton mine 100000 tons more each sue
cessive year, and the specified amount
