CARRIED SAD MESSAGE.

A pigeons message reused much
speculation in the little Welsh vii
lage of Croesyceilog, the other morn
ing. When Mr.. John Thomas, Fly
nonberwyn farm, was in his garden
two pigeons alighted on the roof of
the barn. He good-naturedly scat
tered corn on the ground for them.
Without any hesitation the birds
alighted, and afterward approached
Mr.. Thomas quite Familiarity to eat
corn from the palm of his hand. On
examining them he found, in addi-
ton to ring and number marked
on each bird, that one had label
round its leg on which was written,
|eYour sister is dead" After eating
heartily the pigeons took to flight
again with the mysterious message,
but whittier is not known.

TRYING TO REFORM NATURE

The proposal to rob the bee of its

Increased Mine Valuations

The valuations of mines in St.
Louis, Lake and Itasca counties
have been increased by the state
tax commission this year. The
amount of the increase has not
been made public but it is under
stood that the additions will be the
result of the development of the
properties. A conference with the
mining companies affected was held
in St. Paul two weeks ago and it
is reported there was little objection
to the increases proposed.
Last year the commission made
a sweeping arbitrary increase of S
per cent on all mine assessments.
No such action was taken this year.
May l each year the mining CON-
panies file statements as to the
condition of their properties. The
commission verifes the figures and
makes its assessments on the basis
of its findings. The increases
made this year are the result of
development and in only a few
cases was the development over
estimated.
For instance, Section 80 has its
assessment increased this year by
between 400 and 500 per cent. The

ORE RATES CUT
Reduction From Is to 40
Per Cent

on the TWO range ROADS Will De cut
to 90 cents a ton means much to
the independent shippers on this
and the Mesaba range. The an
nouncement of the reduction has
been confirmed by the officials of
the roads, President House of the
D. & 1. R. and President Nc
Gonagle of the D. M. & N.
The present rate on iron ore is
80 cents per gross ton from all
Mesaba range points to Duluth.
This rate covers all shipping points
on the Duluth, Missabe & Northern
road, and all in Mesaba range
points on the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad. From Tower the rate is
90 cents to the docks at Two Har-
bors, and from Ely it is 81.
When the proposed change takes
effect there will be flat rate of 90
cents ton from all points on the
two ranges. The cut from Ely
will therefore amount to 40 per
cent; from Tower. 1878 per cent,
and from all Mesaba range points,
rs per cent.
The terms are now being pre-
pared for filing in Washington and
St. Paul." said Mr.. McGonagle.
They will be filed within a very
few days, and the new rates will
take effect thirty days from the
date of filing.
/ This change has been carefully
considered by our directors for
some time, and they have decided
that it is the right thing to do to
reduce the rates at this time.
Further than that I am not at
liberty to discuss it."
President House said that he had
nothing to add to what Mr.. Nc
Gonagle had stated. He confirmed
Mr.. McGonagle's statement as far
as the Iron Range is concerned,
and said that the new rate would
be effected from all points on the
Duluth & Iron Range road.
On the Missabe road, Mr.. Nc
Gonagle estimated that about Is or
20 per cent of the gross shipments
came from independent owners and
on the Duluth & Iron Range road
Mr.. House estimated roughly that
from 80 to IS per cent of the ship
ments came from independent
shippers.
The reduction in rates will not
have much effect this season. The
new rate will not be in effect until
the latter part of November, and
by that time the greater part of the
ore will have been moved for the
season. If the tariffs are filed at
once, however, there will probably
be two or three weeks.
An interesting feature of the
reduction is the fact that the Great
Northern will not suffer any
decrease in income, even if it meets
the new rate, at least until the
lease on its ore lands is cancelled.
Under the Hill lease the freight on
ore is set at 80 cents ton, or in
other words the royalties are based
on the ore at the Superior docks
and all ore must be shipped over
the Great Northern. If the freight
rates are cut under 80 cents, the
decrease must be met in increased
royalties.

Along this will be roads with a

electric cars, steel-plate tracks for
fast automobiles, and cement ways

mine entered the shipping class,
calling for a different basis of
assessment and consequently a
higher valuation. Other properties
are in the same class, while in some
cases the commission was asked to
reduce valuations of properties
which formerly shipped and are
now inactive.
It has been estimated that the
increases will amount to $40, O00,-
900, but the figures is purely an
arbitrary estimate and the correct
amount will not be known until
next week. The mineral valuation
last year was 21,173,775.

Advert pttiiSiilM@ Talks
To The Readers Of The RepuI

First, people want bread that tastes good. The most severe criticisms against the bakers loaf have been on account of the spOngy taste-a flavor less, flat taste that unfortunately is characteristic of the bakers product in the minds of many persons. House wives accordingly have bought at bak cries only when the supply ran out.
 But of late years some bakers have come to a realization of things and have begun to comprehend the richness of the demand that lies ready for the baker who shall prove himself. Some bakers are making excellent bread.
 But people don't know this The product of the bakery is under srlspic- ion and only advertising, backed up by proof of goodness can convert them. One baker made a ten-strike by engag- ing the finest home cook in the whole countryside, and then advertising this fact.
 If you consistently claim that old fashioned haunting goodness for your bread, the people will take your ad- vertising sufficiently on faith to try you once. If the bread stands the cru cial test of remOrselessly discriminat- ing taste, as most people have for bread, don't worry that you won't sell them again. You couldn't keep them away.
 To quote sIangy advertising friend: ' Bread advertising would be pie fOrFa copy writer, if the bread was good' And there you are
Arizona republican., 1911-07-21

A man in the South writes me as follows: ''I am wondering if you will be of help to me. l run good bakery s-at least my customers say 1 bake good things. Can 1 advertise, and how?"
 There may be other things in the world more advertisable than bread, but at this moment l don't happen to recall them. = As a matter of fact, bread is being successfully advertised now in some cities.
 The time is ripe for good bread ad vcrtising. It is the psychological mo- mcnt for a wave" of convincing bread advertising, so to speak Why?
 In the last thirty years-my author ity is the last censuses-people have been collecting ip the cities to an eX- tent absolutely Unprecedented in his tory. They come for the most part from the country where home cooking was usually the acme of quality and goodness. After being treated to some of the tastcless city bakery bread, they yealn for the bread .'like mother used to make"
 At no time ill the past have Ameri- cans been more concerned about the quality of things they eat and at no time have they been readier to pay the money necessary to get this food qual- fty. And 1t is only natural that bread, being the staff of life, should be the major food concern.
 What can capable baker say about bread in his advertising? What can't he say!
