JOHN H. NORTON TO
ADDRESS VIRGINIA M. w. A

At the regular meeting of Vir-
ginia Camp No. 1855, Modern
Woodmen of America, on Tues
day evening next, March 5th,
County Attorney John H. Nor
ton, Of Duluth, and others will
address the members on matters
Of interest to the order. Follow
ing the evenings entertainment
refreshments will be served.
MIR. Norton was one Of the DEL
egates to the recent Chicago con-
vention at which the insurance
rates in the order were under con-
sideration, and his address will
likely be confined to a great ex-
tent to the action of the conven-
ton in readjusting the rates to
place the Woodmen on a substan-
tial foundation.

VIRGINIA UP .
WITH THE TIMES

We notice by one Of the Twin
City papers boast of having lady
embalmers, which is modern
idea, for the care Of ladies and
children. Virginia is up with the
times on this point, as we have a
lady embalmer in our city who
is graduate Of the Barnes
School Of Anatomy, Sanitary Sci
ence and Embalming of Chicago,
the largest and most advanced
educational institution of it's kind
in the world. After graduating
this lady has successfully passed
both Wisconsin and Minnesota
Board Of Health examinations and
been granted q license to- practice.
The lady of whom we speak is
Mrs. Selma Ala, Of the firm Of Ed
ward Ala & Co. Of this city. She
is a lady of rare ability in the pro-
fession, a kind and pleasant dis
position with whom we can all
leave the care four beloved dead
ones and know that honor, respect
and tenderness will ever be shown.
We can appreciate the privilege
Of having such a lady to perform
these necessary duties that it is
not right and proper for man to
do. The secrecy maintained by
mother, sister, wife or daughter
should he kept sacred to their
memory, and how can we better
regard their feelings than by en-
ploying a lady embalmer.

MER RESIDENT

Captain Joseph Shimmin, 721
South Pine street, received a mes
sage Thursday morning stating
that his daughter, Mrs. Carolyn

|lRON ORES MI
:. 7. Be SOLD CHEAPER
Rate This Year Is Expected TO- Be
25 Gents q Ton. Below Last
Season. "

Speculation as to the probable
basis Of prices for Lake Superior
iron ores has narrowed down to
the very generally accepted opin-
ion that it will be rs cents ton
lower than year ago, which, in
view Of the reductions for rail
transportation, will still represent
about the old figures to the pro-
ducers. This basis would mean
1926 for non-Bessemer and 81 for
Bessemer grade.
The report that Corrigan, Me-
Kinney & Co. had sold ore for 1912
delivery at So for non-Besemer
has been disproved, while
the report that the Breitung
interests on the Marquette
range had sold some at that price
is said to have been confirmed.
But it is not expected that the
sale by the Breitung people will
make the market on nOn-BeSsemer
ore. The consumers would have
trouble getting the commodity at
that rate, and it is likely that
there would be very general sus-
pension of operations by inde-
pendents if the price should seem
to be esta blished at So.
Independent miners Of the Lake
Superior region look for a better
demand for iron ore this year
than in 1911, and the opinion is
widely held that the last half of
the season will be exceptionally
active. This theory Of livevly
windup of the season is based on
the belief that political results will
have been discounted early.

head of horses which are now on
the Shea homestead in this county
and other personal property which
the defendant owns.
Shea was adjudged bankrupt
some time since, but later devel-
opments evidenced the fact he had
not turned in all available assets
in making. his disclosures, and he
was severely scored by Judge
Morris in. his decision, it being
held that he had made a strong
effort to defraud his creditors.

DAVE roLE 2 DOG RACES

"A total Of twenty four entries
for the dog races, which took
place on Suffolk street Thursday
afternoon necessitated the divid-
ing: up, of the CANNES in some
manner; in order that it might be
possible: to get them over the
course at all, and, consequently,
two classes were made, one Of
light and one Of heavy dogs. In
the light class John Ollila took
three straight heats with his fleet
footed King" and received It
prize of nice shot gun; Dewey
McC Carthy captured second with
his dog "Rover,-' receiving a
hand sled.
1t required six heats to settle
the question Of supremacy in the
heavy class, Robert Barr, with his
collie "koy, - taking the first,
fifth and sixth heats, and captur-
ing the first prize, fine, BRASS
mounted dog harness. John Ja-
cobs, with his st. Bernard
Frince,' took the second prize,
a pair of skis. Merton Elkey, Of
Hurley, with his dog "Biggie,
took the first and fourth heats.
Sixteen dogs started in the heavy
class, and before any Of them
reached the finish there was no
question in the minds of the spec
tators but that "dogs delight to
bark and bite,'' and that they will
use every means to prevent any
competitor passing them III dog
derby. In fact, it was the usual
rule for one, even when far in the
lead, to stop and kindly wait for
his nearest competitor to catch
up with him, so that he could mix
things. These occurrences added
greatly to the gaiety Of the occa-
sion and hundreds Of people great
ly enjoyed the sport. The dog
races this year were given by D.
F. Foley, Of Virginia, Mimi, who
generously supplied the fine prizes
and was here to see that the fine
sport was carrid ut.-lronwood

Golden Gate Eeas.

The fogs Of the Pacific and especial
ly those on the coast Of California,
Oregon and Washington present some
characteristic features Of their own.
They are low lying. dense and Of fro
quent and regular occurrence and have
been the cause directly and indirectly
Of a large percentage Of marine dis
asters In the vicinity Of San Francisco.
Owing to the general movement OF the
air from the sea toward the land and
the climate Of the great interior valley,
fog Is frequent and well marked. In
summer the afternoon sea fog varies In
depth from 100 to LOO feet, but 1t
rarely reaches far inland. On some
afternoons the velocity Of the wind at
San Francisco rises with almost clock
like regularity to about twenty-five
miles an hour, and a solid wall Of fog,
averaging 1900 feet In height, comes
through the Golden Gate, causing a
fall in temperature to about that Of
the sea-namely, 55 degrees E. The
upper level of the fog can be plainly
seen from the hills in the vicinity.
Above the fog level the dir is cloud
less, and the afternoon temperature
ranges from 80 degrees f. to 30 de-
grees F.-Chicago News.

Eamoua Snuff Takera.

The eighteenth century was the age
of snuff taking par excellence. The
custom was general among all classes
OF people. 1t was an act Of politeness
for well bred men to offer their snuff
boxes to well bred women. Women
themselves carried their own boxes
and interchanged pinches with the gen.
tlemen. At fashionable dinner parties
after the cloth was removed snuff
boxes were passed around. Pope and
Bolingbroke. Swift and .Congreve, Ad-
Olson and Steele, all INDUCED In the

this respect. Both Napoleon and Wei

Saved bv Irvinu's Recital.

Sir Henry Irving. through the real
istic portrayal Of the sufferings of a
haunted man by his recital Of "Eu-
gene Aram," caused one human being
to be saved years Of agony and sus-
pense. A murder had been committed
in IA certain neighborhood, and man
had been seen In the vicinity where
the crime was perpetrated. He him
self knew that he was innocent. but
feared to face or run the risk of trial.
Therefore, although cleverly disguised,
he ventured out only at night One
night he went to the gallery Of a thea
ter where Henry Irving was playing
and In listening to the recital OF "Eu-
gene Aram" lost sight of the fact that
Eugene really did the murder. The
great actor so wildly impaired the
happy sense of relieved conscience
which follows confession that the fol.
lowing day he gave himself up to the
police. The evidence was not strong
enough to convict, so he was able to
bravely face the world instead of
crawling about the earth the most mis-
cradle Of all creatures. a haunted man.

The one thing to guard against In a
powder mill Is a spark Of fire. To
avoid that the utmost precautions are
taken. In the FIRST place, the plant Is
located so far from a railroad track
that a spark from a passing locomo-
tive can never reach 1t. The grass
and weeds are not permitted to grow
high enough around 1t so that when
they become dry fire could reach the
plant by that means. Strangers are
kept off the grounds. Smoking is not
permitted in or near the plant. The
workmen are not permitted to carry
matches. They are not allowed to
wear shoes with pegs or nails in them.
They wear powder boots," made with
soft soles that have no pegs or nails
in them. An iron nail in boot sole
might strike a spark on the floor.
Iron is not permitted to touch iron on
the plant. This Is one infeEible law
Of all powder mills. The hammers
that are used are all of wood or brass
or copper. which cannot strike a spark.
The cogwheels that run together are
of brass or copper for the same rea-
son. The journals of the wheels are
Of copper or brass.-Kansas City Star.
