Rich Discovery Of Iron Ore Near
Eveleth, MINI.

The discovery of high grade ore in
an eighty-acre tract near Eveleth has
probably resulted in suddenly max.
ing millionaires of w. J. Smith, state
treasurer; Thomas D. O'Brien, former
justice of the supreme court, and E.
E. Smith, Governor Eberhart's po-
litical manager.
The strike" was made following
secret drilling that has been going
on for several weeks. 1t is believed
that the eighty acres is filled with
ore and conservative estimate will
place the value at no less than $1O,-
100000 and may go ten times that
amount.

ton before it on consideration by one
house because of an error in the other
and with a positive refusal to consider
a request Of the Women's Christian
Temperance union that unfermented
grape juice be substituted for wine in
the communion service.
On the proposal to establish a sep
arate bishopric in the south for negroes
and proposal eliminating the words

New York, Oct 29.-Daniel G.. Reid
retired today as chairman of the board
Of directors Of the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific railroad company In
favor of Thomas M. Schumacher, vice
president of the Ell Paso and South
western company which Is controlled
by the banking firm Of Phelps, Dodge
&, Co. Mr. Schumacher was elected to
this new position at meeting OF the
Rock Island directors and was also
chosen chairman Of the roads execu.
tive committee, succeeding w. H.
Moore.
Acquisition of the Rock Island rail-
way by Phelps, Dodge & Co.. 1t Is said,
will not result in any change Of man
agement, but there will be tightening
IN all around and closer attention to
business. 1t is pointed out that there
is no clash, but on the contrary the
relations between the Reid-Moore and
the Phelps Dodge interests are har-
monious.
There has always been amity be-
tween, the Phelps-Dodge and Reid
Moore interests in the Rock Island and
the impending changes are said to
mean nothing more than move In
the direction of activity on the part OF
the younger element in the manage
ment of the railroad.
Rock Island directors will In the
future give closer attention to the oper-
alton of the road, looking to increase
in traffic and reduction in operating
cost.
Wall street traders and financial in
terests generally view the new manage
,r,ent in Rock Island favorably and be-
Heve it will make for Improvement In
the revenue Of the road, besides stop
ping some unnecessary leaks due to
a lack of attention.
The best information obtainable here
is that there will be no important
change in the working personnel OF the
system, but that staff and other en-
ployes will feel encouraged to put forth
tleir best efforts
that in the near future he will an
nounce plans for a cathedral in East
Des Moines.

partment Of the state agricultural col
lege, the winter sessions Of the Wap-
clio county farmers institute will be
held one week later than was original
ly intended. It. was found necessary
to place the short course at Eddyville

make the exhibits better than ever,

son.

grams will begin on Thursday. All
the speakers have not yet been secur-
ed, but Profs. Stevenson and Coverdale

assist. The institute officers at a late
meeting decided on an important
change in policy. Hereafter there will
be no membership or entry fees, and
no sale Of exhibits. Entries will be
open to everybody in the county, thus
making it an institute for Wapello

of the term.
The money for premiums and other
expenses will be raised by popular
subscription. Finance committees are
now at work in each township, under
the direction of the township vice pres
idents. 1t is hoped by the members
that every farmer in Wapello county
will see his. way clear to contribute
something to the support Of the insti-
tute

disbursements for last year will give
an idea of the amount necessary to
carry on the institute this year:

MIR. Lowe Visits
Eastern Oregon

LaGrande Observer: D. NJ Lowe
of Ashland, Ore, passed through the
city this morning on his way to Ell
gin, where he expects to find a num-
Der of his former scholars and
friends. Mr. Lowe is not now a
teacher, but one of the most pro-
gressive boosters for the state of Ore
gon. He is going to the Chicago
land show in the capacity of state
commissioner. Not only that, but he
has some 5000 pounds of products
grown on his farm that will vie with
the best products displayed there for
first money, and he wants to be on
the ground to see the blue ribbon
come his way. In all he will have
281 entries, and it is safe to assert
that if he could take most of the first
prizes at the Portland show last year
he will hardly run second at Chicago,
for the produces of the Rogue River
Valley have an international reputa-
ton. Mr.. Lowe is a civil engineer
by profession and farmer by choice.
He is owner of a 100-acre pear or
charl and is successful by reason of
being in close touch with the agri-
cultural school. But all of this is of
minor Importance to the scheme
which Mr.. Lowe has for the year
1915. 1t is his purpose to boost the
state during the Panama-Pacific eX-
position by a display of the products
of Oregon. He is going to ask the
legislature for an appropriation OF
$5, 900, which will enable all farmers
and producers of the state to make
an exhibit at the gateway of Oregon
his own city of Ashland. Further
more, he purposes to induce travellers
to the fair to have their railroad tick
cts routed through Oregon. Ashland
being the first city which the travel
er from the far east will see on com
| ing into the state, first impression
after. travelling over some hundred
miles of mountain waste in northern
California, will prove of incalculablt
value in inducing prospective settlers
to make Oregon favored spot. 9.
