SUPERIOR FOREST
Notes from THE Superior Ranger
Of Interest
published by the Forest Service. Ely. Mimi

1t is with regret that the
Ranger" announces the transfer
of Mr.. J. A. Fitzwater to the Pond
|O'Reille National Forest. Mr..
Fitzwater came to the Superior
from Missouia, Montana, as Acting
Supervisor, in April, 1910. He
was later promoted to Forest STU
pervisor.
During his incumbency, the ST.
perior National Forest made great
strides in the way of permanent
improvements, organization, pro-
lection, aud other lines of work
pertaining to forestry. We also
went through the worst fire season
in the history of the Superior.
The Ranger wishes Mr.. Fitz,
water all success in his new posi-.
tion and Good Luck"
The new proclamation signed by
the President on September 21st,
increases the Superior National
Forest by $4,000 acres and
eliminates IA, 500 acres. The larg-
est part of the addition is adjoining
the present boundary on the east.
Here approximately eleven town
ships were added. The character
of the addition is very much the
same as that already a part of the
Forest. The administration will
be mainly protective. The elimin-
alton was mostly from township "a
north, Range IL West, where the
land was almost entirely alienated
and therefore was of no benefit to
the Government. Just what
changes in the force the new ad.
dition will necessitate is not known
at present.
Some improvements were made
at the Echo River Ranger Station,
in the past three months. A root
house, 10 II, was built, also a
woodshed IL X 16, and the Ely.
Echo River Telephone line was
completed by crew of four men
under the supervision of Student
Assistant Lindeberg. With the
completion of the bunk house plan
ned for next spring, the Echo
River Ranger Station" will be in
very good shape

Our Business

There is lull in ore buying,
following the heavy sales of both
Bessemer and nom Bessemer made
since the prices were fixed for the
season, says the Iron Trade Review.
Some merchant furnaces in central
western territory have not covered
for their requirements and the buy
ing by eastern companies is not
yet ended. Iron ore receipts at
Lake Erie ports during the season
of 1912 were SO, 624, 1O8 tons, out
of a total movement of ore by lake
of ~ ,435, TT tons. This compares
with 1851 $50 tons in 1911 and
"a, 042, 1877 tons in 1910. Lake
Erie docks on Dec. held o,494,-
625 tons, the largest tonnage on
hand in the history of the traffic,
the largest previous amount having
been 9,426,8S1 tons on Dec. L,
1910.

as one of the most instructive
calendars we have seen for this
year, is that sent out by the White

pany, Manufacturers of "Autocrat"

large type, the featuring of holidays

The dispatch from New York
follows:
New York, Dec. 25.-Elbert H {.
Gary chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, has announced
that the corporation is planning an
adjustment of wage scales soon,
which will result in material in
creases, particularly with respect
to wages paid unskilled laborers.
Within a few days, he said, the
amount of the increases and the
day upon which they will be eff
fective will be determined. His
statement follows:
AT the meeting of presidents of
subsidiary companies of the United
States Steel corporation, held last
Thursday, it was unanimously
voted that there should be made,
in the near future, adjustments of
the wage scales which will result
in material increases, particularly
with respect to common labor; and
at the meeting of the finance COM
mittee held Tuesday, it was decid-
ed to recommend to the presidents
that they make the adjustments
proposed at such times and in such
amounts as may be determined.
The exact amount of increases
and the date at which they will go
into effect are being considered and
will be determined within a few
days"
The proposition to readjust the
wage scale, especially as affecting
the common laborers of the cor
poration, has been under debate
the greater part of this year. In
timation that some increases would
be granted were given at the
November meeting of the subsidiary
presidents.

plies in greater wage disbursements,
is, at best. a matter of conjecture
until the amount of the increases
becomes definitely known. 1t is
understood that not less than 3d.
600 laborers will be benefited, and
it is considered not improbable that
many other employees in many
minor capacities will also share in
the new scales.
The United States Steel corpora
ton had 196,SS8 employees on its
rolls in 1911, with total annual
salaries and wages of $161, 419, 900.

The Pigeon River Lumber Co.
bought a number of tracts in Cook
County and the Alger-Smith Co.
took a number in Lake County.
A Chicago firm has at present a
large crew of surveyors at work on
the Falls of Vermilion River,
there being four of these that they
intend to develop. The power so
developed will be sent to the Mesaba
Range. While this is out of the
Forest, a portion of the Vermilion
River will be used next season as
one of our canoe routes, therefore
the work is of interest to us.
Work was suspended on the Ely
Schroeder trail and telephone line
on November 7th, 16 miles of trail
having .been cut and IL miles of
wire hung.
A boat house has been built at
Birch Lake. Guards Drakenberg
and Student Assistant Dunn doing

Owing to the scarcity of labor
this fall, brush burning on the
Stony road had to be put off until
Spring. There is $4,000 with
which to do the work and this
amount will about clean up all
brush inside of the old boundary.
There will be seven miles of road
in the new addition on which brush
will have to be burned.
Big game was very plentiful on
upper Stony this fall. Not less
than 40 deer and 3 moose were

Dahlgren.
The St. Croix Lumber & Manu-
featuring Company have about 600
men working on Stony. Owing to
the scarcity of labor, only two
new camps were started this season.
A decision has been rendered in
the proposed auto road from Du-

Ordering Many New Cars

The Duluth & Iron Range and
the Duluth Missabe & Northern
roads are figuring on much new
equipment for delivery next
spring. The Iron Range is plan
ming to buy 1000 steel ore cars, six
freight locomotives and three pas
senger locomotives. The Missabe
is figuring on 1000 steel ore cars
and three passenger locomotives.
The ore cars will be of the standard
drop bottom type and of 100, 00C
pounds or so net tons capacity
each. Early placing of orders is
said to be quite necessary as the
car and locomotive works of the
country have orders for months
ahead. The old wooden cars are
slowly being crowded out of the
operations of the large ore carrying
systems of Minnesota and Michi-
gan.
The year 1913 is reasonably sure
to be the biggest in the history OF
the iron ore industry of the Lake
Superior region. Present prospects
indicate that the season S shipments
will be more than 1000, 900 tons.
The Guyana range will ship from
l 900, 900 to l 200, 900 tons in 1913,
and is taking its place among the
recognized big iron ranges of this
region. The Northern Pacific as
we'll as the 500 Line will be active
from that district next season.
The underground mines of the
Vermilion and Mesaba ranges are
stockpiling heavily this winter and
they will have more ore ready to
move next spring than usual. The
managers of Minnesota iron mines
complain that good miners are
scarce and that employment awaits
a good many more men.

BROTHERS RETURN JUST IN TIME TO
 CHECK BURGLARS
Second Story Men Putting Through Neat Job at PresSey Home When Unexpectedly Interrupted

Returning home just in time to foil the efforts of a pair of clever sec ond story men to enter their home. Edwin P. and Harry F. Pressey of 70e Kossuth street were the means of putting the burglars to flight in the early hours yesterday morning. and found ample evidence of the visit of the intruders.
 The Presseys lived in the upper half of the double house at 706 Kos- suth street Their return home must have been just in time to interrupt the nocturnal visitors, for they found the window pane of the upper door with a square slice neatly cut out by a glass cutter, with evidences of the work of a Jimmy also at hand. Apparently all arrangements had been made to reach through the glass and turn the lock when the return home of the Presseys foiled the plans of the second story men.
 The visit bore all the evidences of the work of professionals, showing that Bridgeport is not free from these gentry. The glass had been cut out neatly with a glass cutter and part of the molding cut out with a jim- my. Capt. I. N. Pressey was asleep in the house at the time but so slick were the intruders that they made no noise, and but for the opportune re- turn of Capt. Pressey's sons, might have made a clean getaway The case was reported to thep office to- day
