Chilean Ore EnTOute

Three corgoes of iron ore, aggre-
eating Approximately 10000 tons,
from the Chilean properties of the
Bethlehem Steel Co., now are en-
route from Cruz Grande to Phila-
delphia. These will be the first
cargo lots of Chilean ore ever
brought into this country. The
shipment is being made by way of
the Panama canal and the freight
rate fixed at wild charter is 15s Cd.
This rate, applying only to the par
ticular shipment. is IS higher than
the figure at which the Bethlehem
Steel Co. recently closed with
Swedish steamship interests on a
contract covering transportation of
ore between Chile and the United
States for a term of years. The
third cargo of the season of
Wabana, Newfoundland, ore.
amounting to about 1000 tons,
also is ZEN route to Philadelphia.
This shipment still represents
delivery against orders carried over
from last year. The east is practi-
cally bare of ore sales, either
domestic or foreign, though some
negotiations continue.
The Lake Superior iron ore
market drags and very few sales
were made during the past week.
Regular prices are being adhered
to except in the case of low grade
ores.-Iron Trade Review.

THE city of Chisholm is giving
preference to the married men in
its distribution of the jobs of the
city during the time of mining de-
preston. 1t is a thought and the
single men should not feel sighted.
A man with a family of little fell
lers' has something on his mind.
However, with them comes the
thought to him that the days are
too few and too short and that his
own needs do not count. The old
Mackinaw of 61-5 fits him per-
fectly, and the lid his father wore
will shed rain today as well as
new one would. The true father
wears his collar gals cheerfully and
lightly that his family might not
be deprived of the needful. So
long as the kids and and the OF
lady are fed, clothed and housed,
all is we'll with him whether it is
or not. Year in and year out and
always Dad cheerfully holds his
nose on the grindstone in behalf of
his family, and his regret in dying
is in the fact that his work for them
is done. 1t is a great response
bility, the gift of a family, but
once undertaken, will be foundGto
be the fulfllment of the greatest
happiness a great Creator has
placed with the grasp of mortal
man. And this writer is now in
the Grand pc department himself. =

The Iron Market

Many consumers of finished pro-
ducts are showing increased in
terest in the market and greater
willingness to contract, says the
Iron Trade Review. This is shown
particularly in the case of agricul-
tural implement manufacturers
who are sounding the market as to
steel bar contracts. Buyers of nuts
and bolts are also inquiring as to
contracts, but manufacturers
generally are slow to commit them
selves on long contracts at present
prices. Whether the agricultural
implement makers will obtain price
concessions as they usually do,
has fot been determined, but re-
ports of shading are heard, especi-
ally in the Pittsburgh district.

girder rails for delivery to traction

An importation of rails from India
will arrive on the western coast of

steel bars to the eastern coast are
very light. The United States
Steel Corporation has taken orders
for IS, 900 tons of rails for export

Last evening the d1gn OCnOOl
commencement program was given
at the Auditorium. The seats
were filled and standing room was
at a premium. Before saying
more it must be prefaced by the
statement that the exercises of last
evening were more cultured and
refined than any it has been our
pleasure to attend on occasions of
this kind. The graduates were all
ladies and gentlemen and not a
hitch occurred during the evening
to mar a single minute of the time.
The proceedings showed the high
er training the high school pupils
are subjected to and also reflected
great credit on the instructors as
we'll as the latter day system of
making men and women of gradu-
ates to enter life's work or other
institutions of learning with the
finer feelings that go to make up
dignity as we'll as knowledge.
The parents, relatives and friends
of the graduates were loud in their
praises of this phase of the exer-
cises and many were the thoughts
of the older ones of their own
graduation exercises and the atten-
dant slip-shod manner in which
some were put through in compari-
son with the dignified procedures
of last evening.
The evenings exercises were
opened by piano solo by Elaine
Clair Fenske. Rev. Koivumakl
gave the invocation after which
Jerry A. Harri gave his salutatory
address OIL the subject of Menace
to Industrial Lawlessness." Mr..
Harri produced many fine points in
his address and his remarks were
loudly applauded. The Girls Glee
Club rendered Fleeing Days"
and was followed by the speaker
of the evening, Hon. J. Adam
Bede.
Mr.. Bede at once placed the large
audience on his side by telling
them he felt like the fellow that
was being hung. He arrived at
this conclusion after being intro
duced in a happy strain by Supt.
H. E. White who reminicently
complimented Mr.. Bede. The in
troductory remarks of Mr.. White
were one of the hits of the evening.
Mr.. Bede wasted no time in pre-
liminaries but at once launched
into an address that left its mark.
He cited the duties of the parents
to their children and deplored the
tendency to turn the raising of
families over to the teachers. His
remarks on this score had a
tendency to make the parents take
notice and think deep thoughts on
the subject. He thought parents
should get acquainted with their
children and remarked that many
parents were better acquainted with
their neighbor boys and girls than
with their own.
His talk was interspersed with
an occasional bit of wit to illustrate
his point and althogh he talked for
forty minutes, the audience wished
he had continued longer. His
closing tribute to the Man of MAJ
arene was a masterpiece and will
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-06-05

be remembered as a gem from the
lips of one who was sincere in his
eulogies.
The High School Chorus follow
ed Mr.. Bede with the rendition of
the Song of the Vikings" which
was given with a volume and tone
effects that appealed to the music
lovers. Too much credit cannot
be given Miss Norine Simpson for
the valedictory address delivered
by her in a fluent and comprehen-
sive manner. Miss Simpson touch
ed on the school days of her class
mates and herself, the favors re-
ceiued by the graduates at the
hands of parents, school board and
teachers and in touching words
bid farewell to the school and the
instructors. 1t was plainly notice
able during her remarks that her
heart was full of the subject and
her mood affected the larger part
of the audience.
Misses Margaret Brown and
Agnes Beckstrom sang the duet,
Good Night and Dream of Me-"
in their usual pleasing manner
after which 7. E. Miller of the
school board, in a few we'll chosen
words. presented the diplomas to
the graduates. Rev. Stidd pro-
nounced the benediction. At the
close of the proceedings, the audi
ence crowded about the graduates
on the stage and with grip of the
hand and words of cheer wished
them well.
