Guyana TO TREBLE OUTPUT
Next Years Production on the New
Iron Rance Estimated Will Be
100000 Tons.

Brainerd. - 1.-THE Minnesota state
tax commissions blue prints of drill
ing by mining companies" said Chas.
A. Russell, who represented Brainerd
and Crow Wing county at the Guyana
range hearing, SHOW total ore body
of approximately 100000 tons on
the Guyana range. Of this amount
100000 tons are reported low grade.
OF the 100000 tons left about half
is said by the mining companies to be
less than 40 per cent dry and there
fore not merchantable ore."
The hearing was continued to Nov.
9 to take up the question of the value
of the ore. Until that is determined,
no one can tell the amount of the
assessment. One thing is certain,
however, Crow Wing county has a
source of revenue which never before
adequately contributed its share in
taxation.
Estimates of the ore production on
the Guyana iron range for 1914 vary,
but these figures, unofficial, come close
to the years production: Rowe pit
mine, 100 700 tons; Thompson pit
mine. 100000 tons; Cuyuna-Mille Laos,
10000 tons; Cuyuna-Duluth, 100000
tons; Barrows, 10000 tons; Armour
No. 2 mine, 275,O00 tons; Kennedy
mine, 225,000 tons; Iron Mountain
mine, 500 tons, making total of $780,
500 tons. 1t is confidently expected
that the Guyana range in 1916 will
ship 100000 tons.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
NO FEAR OF STOCK PLAGUE
Or. Reynolds of Farm School Thinks
Quarantine Will Hold Foot and
Mouth Epidemic In Chicago.

Minneapolis. = Minnesota has a
guaranty of protection in the action
of the feueral government in quaran-
timing the Chicago Union Stock Yards
because of the prevalence of foot and
mouth disease, according to DR.. M. H.
Reynolds of the College of Agricul-
ture, who is a member of the State
Live Stock Sanitary board.
About the only way that the dis
ease might be brought into the state
is through people coming here from
the Chicago yards" says DR.. Reyn.
Odds. "The disease germs are carried
on the shoes and are easily scattered.
Minnesota has never had a case of
foot and mouth disease and it is to
be hoped never will have.
"The disease is highly infectious
and spreads rapidly. 1t does not kill
stock, but retards the stock business
commercially as it retards the growth
of victims. The United States is the
only country in the world that ever
has eradicated it. Four different
times it has appeared in this country
and each time it was completely
wiped out. When it has appeared it
has been confined largely to eastern
sections.
"The disease attacks the feet, lips
and internal organs. Victims become
lame, their lips are sore and their
whole system deranged. With cows
the milk supply is diminished or
stopped. Cattle, swine. sheep and
goats are likely to be afflicted.
"The government does not temror-
ize with the disease when found. It's
gospel is to shoot, burn, bury and dis
infect"
DR.. S. M. Ward, secretary of the
State Live Stock Sanitary board, re-
turned to st. Paul from an absence
in Canada. While the next regular
meeting of the board will be in JAN
uary an earlier meeting may be called
if the situation as regards the spread
of foot and mouth disease should
seem to make it advisable.
Advices from Chicago are that the
Minnesota prize cattle exhibited at
the recent National Dairy show will
be detained in Chicago until Nov. z
pending investigation of the possibil-
ity that they may have been exposed
to foot and mouth disease there.

itch and burn till she couldn't sleep.

EXPECT $4,000 EARS CORN
Exposition VIII Eclipse All
Other Shows.

Benscn-So much interest in the
Corn and Alfalfa exposition to be
held here Nov. 26 to % has been
aroused in the 16 counties compris-
ing the West Central Minnesota De-
velopment association that it is tax
ing the ingenuity of those in charge
to find room for all the exhibits COM
ing. Fully $4,000 ears of choice seed
corn and alfalfa seed and hay in pro-
portion are expected, and the exposi-
ton hall will be damned to the raft
ers with corn and alfalfa.
Last year at Morris, where the first
annual exposition was held, over 3d.
900 ears of corn were exhibited. New.
er in the northwest, according to corn
specialists, had such a corn show
been held. Yet this year there will
be over twice as much as last.
So many special prizes are being
offered by the different counties to
stimulate the exhibition of local
corn and alfalfa that Secretary M. E.
Harrison has decided to give each
county individual srace. AS a result
all the corn and alfalfa entries from
each county will be shown separately.
Several counties ambitious for leader.
ship, are preparing large exhibits.
The large sweepstake prizes for
corn have stirred hundreds of farm
ers to action. The grand champion
ear will win for it's owner a pure bred
Holstein bull worth 5000, given by F.
L. Stone Of Benson, who won several
handsome prizes at the National Dairy
show this week. The owner of the
champion 10 ears will be given a
cement stave silo worth 1925, in addi-
ton to a first prize of $25. The ex-
hibitor of the best 80 ears of corn
will receive a pure bred Shorthorn
bull worth 5000, raised by s. G. Ella
son of Montevideo, as well as a first
premium worth S14. The farmer pos
sessing the best 120 ears of corn will
be given an ensilage cutter, complete
on trucks, worth 5000 to supplement
blue ribbon prize worth $35.

'J.C.R.' SUIT AGAINST
N. D. man DROPPED
II. CALDWELL, ALLEGED
FATHER, NOT TO BE SUED
FOR 100000.
IDENTITY REMAINS MYSTERY
With Ending Of Sensational Proceed.
ings Dazed Plaintiff Is Again
Man Without Name
or Home.

Dickinson.-The identity of 81. G.
r. the Rochester, Mimi, man of mys.
terry, is again as much of a mystery as
ever.
The suit started against ]. H. Cald.
well, in behalf of 81. c. r." by which
it was hoped that his identity as Jay
Allen Caldwell, missing son, would
be established, has been dismissed.
Judge Crawford of the district court
ordered the dismissal when the elder
Caldwell disclosed at hearing before
him that the 81 C. R." notice of suit
and the filing with the register OF
deeds, by which the transfer of prop.
erty was prohibited, had not been fol-
lowed up by the service of complaint
and summons, although 60 days had
expired since such notice was orig
nally given.
With this failure of the attorneys
for 81. C. R." to follow up their orig
inal action, the question of the mans
identity is again uncertain.
Assertion of Caldwell.
The elder Caldwell, in asking dismis-
sal, asserted the belief that Caldwell
is in reality the son of Mrs. H. T.
Pitkin of Chicago, who was one of the
persons instrumental in bringing 81.
c. R." here, several months ago, when
he was identified by several persons as
Jay Caldwell and when he seemed to
recollect scenes that were familiar to
Jay Caldwell before Caldwells disap-
pearance IL years ago.
The suit against the elder Caldwell,
involving 100000 worth of property,
was based on the claim that the young
er Caldwell had been shipped out Of
DC nson in box car after an alleged
assault by his father with a spade.
The blow, it was said, robbed him of
his memory.
1t has been proved that 81. C. R."
was picked up at Waseca in June o.
1907, and inasmuch as Jay Allen Cald-
well did not disappear until Oct IA of
the same year, the former cannot be
the long lost son.

CLAIM NEGLECT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH
STATE BOARDS BIENNIAL RE-
PORT BLAMEs LEGISLATURE
FOR PREvENTABLE DEATHS.
SHOULD BE NO EPIDEMICs
tion to Fact That One-Tenth of
Deaths Are Among Children
From Preventable Diseases.

st. Paul-Minnesota is falling be-
hind other states in it's care of the
public health, according to the BIZ
ennial report of the state board of
health, made to Governor A. o. Eber-
hart. though people are demanding
more and more attention, and more
protective and preventive work, the
report says, the legislature refuses to
made provision for it.
Not Enough Money.
Two years ago the board of health
had $4,000 to spend, and this year it
has only 100000 This has made it
necessary to discontinue important
lines of work, such as the school
hygiene campaign conducted over the
state by DR.. Ernest B. Hoag. In the
same two years the legislative appro-
priations for education increased
from s75O,O0O to s2,0OOOO0. Educa-
ticn is important, the report says, but
health is even more important.
There should be no epidemics, the
report says, for disease is easy to
control when found early. Disease
spreads from person to person and
not from house to house, and that is
why ordinary quarantine is often in
effective. The danger is not with the
people that are sick, but with those
able to go about spreading germs
broadcast.
Medical school supervision" Gays
the report, sis to be commended as
one of the most important procedures
in preventing disease"
Whenever medical inspection has
been made it has disclosed a major
ity of Ithe pupils as defective, and in
most cases the defects are easily
cured.
Deaths Among Children.
One-tenth of all deaths in the state
are among children, from preven+ah'e
causes. In 1913 there were 22,793
deaths in Minnesota, and 10S90 were
from causes regarded as preventable
by physicians.
The report commends the states
move for aiding county sanatoriums
for tuberculosis. and the legislation
recurring local health officers to look
after preventable disease. 1t closes
with a summary of the recommends
tions made by DR.. Carroll Fox of the
federal service after a survey of the
state. He urged a state appropria-
ton of at least $27O,000 year for
public health, increase of the depart
ment's scope. and division of the state
into 20 health districts, each with a
physician health officer in charge.

ROCHESTER FEARS FIREBUG

The belief is prevalent, however, that
firebug is busy in this section.
