ORE PROFITS
ARE EXCESSIVE
Would Segregate Ore Railroads
From Corporation. ~
REPORTS HERBERT X. SMITH
Commissioner Of Corporations Gives
Result Of Probe to President
Shows Profit Of go Cents
Ton.

hington.-Unreason profits
are made on iron ore in the lake re-
gion; excessive earnings flow into the
treasury OF the United States Steel
! Corporation from its ore transporta-
tion facilities, which suggest the ne
cessity, from the standpoint Of pub
lie policy, OF segregating the ore rail-
roads from the giant corporation, and
large intercompany profits are made
by consolidated ore, iron and steel
companies, according to a preliminary
report on the cost Of production in
the steel industry by Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of corporations,
made public
The prices OF Lake ore" the re-
port declares, have been kept for
many years at an unreasonably high
level. comHared with the cost Of pro-
ducucn and the cost OF the invest
menC IN the producing ore properties"
Relative TO the alleged excessive
profits realized by the steel corpora
ton from its ore railroads, Commits
sioner Smith says that the control OF
public agencies of transportation car
ries with it such possibilities OF abuse
that the question is raised. whether
the public interest in this industry
does MT require a segregation of the
ore railroads from the steel corpora
tion?'
In so far as the steel corporation
enjoys monopolistic power" the re-
port says, it lies echie1y in its hold
ings OF ore and it's railroad transpor-
tation facilities. This company. the
report asserts, has acquired unduly
large ore reserves, holding at
the close of 1910 at least fifty years
supply at the present rate Of con.
sumption, exclusive of the Great
Northern ore properties, the lease OF
which has been cancelled, taking ef-
feet Jan. l, 1915.
1t has been estimated that the cor
poration has fully 1,2OOOOO,OOO tons
of other ore in the Lake region.
The average cost of Lake ore gen.
orally delivered at lower ports from
1902 to 1906 was $2.64 per ton. The
average transfer profit on ore was
&C cents per ton. This is regarded as
excessive by the commissioner, repre-
sentng in his judgment from 10 to 15
percent on the investment, with the
presumption in favor of the higher
rate and including earnings on the
large ore reserves which are entirely
inactive at this time.
1t may be said, the report adds, "as
a notorious and incontrovertible fact
that the price OF Lake Superior ore
during the greater part of the period
1902 TO 1908, and indeed back to 1895,
has been established in large meas
ure by agreement among the princi.
pal ore producing interests"

commercial basis. AS a result of the
success that has been attained at
the Fort Brown reservation in grow
ing the palms many people of this
section have planted large groves of
the trees and some of them have al
ready come into bearing. A cooper.
ative date farm, conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, was also established near
Laredo, Tex, few years ago. Four
acres Of the palms have been planted

ing. The yield Of some of the trees
Is enormous. often amounting to as
much as 500 pounds of the delicious
fruit.
One OF the requirements Of success.
ful date growing is an abundance of
water and plenty of sunshine. There
must also be a minimum of cold
weather. Rich soil is, of course, nee.
essary. All Of these elements are
found in the region. Some of the
seeding date palms on the ranches
and farms of this section have been
producing abuL liant crops of fruit for
many years, but 1t was not until the
government took hold Of the matter
and began to demonstrate the posi-
bilities Of the industry from a COM
mercial standpoint that It was taken
hold Of on a scale commensurate with
the profitable returns that it prom.
ises to bring, the growers.

RED HAIR ON THE WANE.

Within two generations the red.
haired human will be seen no more
on our city streets, II we are TO believe
the statement of Mr.. Curtain, presi
OF the United BARRIERS association OF
America. And. as chief OF American
tonsorial artists. he ought TO be an
authority on the subject. II is really
sad the way things are disappearing
In this progressive century OF ours.
AS fast as we increase the record In
one direction 1t persists in getting
shortened In another Modern prog
ress seems to resemble a tube filled
with marbles: whenever fresh mar
BILE Is pushed in at one end another is
forced out at the opposite. There are
many things we could spare better
than the ginger-headed masculine or
the girl with the Titian-bronze. Gin
ger stands for pluck and golGen-bronze
for beauty, and beauty and pluck
have always been leading features OF
the American people. Yet for some
climatic or genealogical reason, when
ever fair and dark mate, the children
always take after the duskier-haired
parent. SO red locks are slowly but
surely disappearing according to the
careful investigation of Chief Barber
Curtain. Perhaps In time our red
haired citizens will have TO be cor
rallied and protected by government as
are our nearly extinct buffaloes. But
as other specialists tell us that in an
other hundred years the whole hui
man race will be bald. we are hardly
justified in putting the already over
worked government TO any extra trou-
BILE. to preserve for a short time long
er the amber bronze or mahogany

we imagine that pluck and beauty will
survive, If the worst comes to the

The statement OF Health Commits
sioner Lederle of New York that dill
gent investigation for many years has
failed to trace single case OF typhoid
fever In that city to the eating OF
oysters will be hailed with delight by
lovers Of the king of bivalves In the
condition In which he comes from the
briny deep. The oyster is good fried
and excellent in stew when not
cooked-as he often is. however-sc
long as to make him leathery. But
there are many who maintain that II
is a pity to cook oysters. because
they are so palatable in the raw state
and so easily digestible. Yet in many
instances these epicures have feared
to eat oysters raw because of the
widespread depreciation OF the oyster
as a cause OF typhoid fever. They will
rejoice at Doctor Lederle's report.
