INSPECTOR
ON CEMENT WORK

City Engineer johnson on Tuesday
evening submitted the appointment
of l. R. Simons as inspector on &c.
ment work for the city and of H. A
Boyle as rodman in place Of Mr.. ST.
mons.
The appointments as read
brought on discussion in which May.
or Murphy took part, the mayor
wanting to know why Gust A. Pehr-
son, whose application for the posi-
ton was on file, had not been ap-
pointed. Mr.. johnson responded
that it was because of his belief that
Mr.. Simons was a more competent
man, that he had always found him
reliable in his work and believed in
advancing a man upon his merits
when occasion presented.
Despite such recommendation ON
the part of the engineer, however, a
motion that Mr.. Pherson be appoint
ed was carried, whereupon Mr.. John
son withdrew his recommendation Of
appointment for Mr.. Boyle, keeping
Mr.. Simons on his staff as rodman.

Foundntaster johnson stated TO
the council Tuesday evening that he
found it impossible to properly care
fer the cow nuisance in the city with
out the aid of an assistant, citing the
fact that especially in the North Side
many, cows were allowed to run at
large to the detriment of gardens and
private property.
Mayor Murphy asserted that the
only method to abate the trouble was
to arrest and fine the owners of cows
running contrary to ordinance; that
it would take a half dozen assistants
to properly care for the trouble, but
that few doses of 80 much and

cause the COW owner to live to the

JONES' TREATMENT OF IRON OR

JONES' TREATMENT OF IRON ORE
J. T. Jones, who is we'll known on
the Mesaba range and who is the
inventor Of the Jones treatment of
iron ores, is making good, according
to reports from Republic, Mich,
where he has established a plant for
the treatment of ores. The plant is
getting fairly started and the work
there is being watched with a great
deal of interest by mining men and
men interested in smelters. The
original experimental plant was
erected at Iron Mountain, where the
details were worked out during the
extended trials. The Republic plant
is the first to be constructed for prac-
teal operation, it being erected at
the old KlOman mine property, where
there is said to be a large tonnage
of low grade ore. That the furnace
will produce the metal-liferous re-
suits claimed for it is certain. 1t is
now a question of how cheaply the
metalizing of the ore can be per-
formed. Mr.. Jones has figures show
ing fine margin of profit and he is
so certain of the outcome that he is
prepared to erect plants for those
who desire them and to guarantee
the commercial success of the enter
prise.
There are many millions Of tons of
ore of low grade in the districts of
the ranges that could be treated by
the Jones process.
At the Republic plant they will
experiment with ore of different
grades, low and high, with the OBJ
ject in view of determining just what
can be done in profitable treatment.

THE STEAM ROLLER.

ton. AS a clod crusher and general
leveler it cannot be surpassed. 1t is
worked on the principle that the man
who runs 1t is made of material SUI
perior to that which he runs over.
Recently we saw horse run furious
ly away down the macadam pike, be-
cause he thought the steam roller
was after him. If the average man
were similarly situated, think he
would stampede. For two reasons:
First, because the average man is
fat enough now, and second, If the
average man realized that he was
to be snuffed out he would not want
his demise chargeable to a snob
steering at the wheel. One can die
by the hand of peer or even by the
foot of typhoid fly, but the average
man draws the line at making a noise
like hoop and rolling away at the
request of the man who has set him.
self up as judge of the short-com-
ings of humanity within the radius
of his limited sphere.
The steam roller is mighty, but
not almighty. Great as it is there
are certain things it cannot do. 1t
cannot overcome more than a certain
amount of inertia, and this world
has more inertia in it than any other
commodity.
Not long ago we were cogniZant of
proposed improvement in a neigh
boring city. A committee meeting
was called for the purpose of looking
after the financial backing necessary
for the project. The chairman had
his steam roller along with him and
by vigorous use of the levers rode
over the rest of the committee IN
good form. He located the improve
ment where it would do his property
the most good. But he didn't locate
the subscription list. 1t isn't yet TO-
Gated. 1t probably won't be.
Down at the legislature they have
steam roller in every committee
room for the purpose of squeezing
the juice (not the electric juice or
the lime juice) out OF every objec-
tionable bill.
The steam roller usually used in
| q al, in orr oh
moved to Chicago for a short time
where it was run with great success,
but it will not be in working order
again until November and it is
doubtful If the Wall street govern
ment manipulators can furnish
enough grease to make it run
smoothly even then.
The common people, for whose
smoothing out the steam roller was
invented, are rough, uneven lot.
They are not as smooth as the un-
common people, but they are thol-
sand times as thick. The man on
the steam roller (you have seen him)
considers them a mob; and it is re-
corded that a mob has been known
to capture a royal steam roller and
drive it right through the banquet
hall of a king. In fact, very few
kings have died with their hand on
the throttle of the roller. They usu-
ally fall under the front wheel Of the
thing, no matter how good a steam
roller Chauffeur they may be. Great
Caesar fell there. Louis XIV's fam
lily was all smashed up by fathers
machine. George III lost his breath
that way, and JEFF Davis was jolted
off while the roller was crossing the
last ditch.
Present day politics might profit
by these examples. For with what
measure We mete it out shall it be
measured you again."
