DOG RACES APPROVED.
,.o>oo 80. ND..1 e.,

Dog races have been held this win
ter in two or three range villages,
and we want to indorse the sport as
one of. the most pleasing that can be
imagined. We can remember when
Charley Mcnamara put on races in
Eveleth and gave a day Of amusement
that was second to nothing in the
winter sport line. We are too much
disposed to crawl in our shells the
minute winter comes Biwabik Times.

WHERE THE PROFIT GOES,
From Tuesdays Daily.

Hard coal is said to be only two
dollars per ton at the mines in Penn
sylvania. This means that transpor-
tation charges and profit Of coal deal
ers aggregate eight dollars per ton,
and we dare say that profit Of dealers
is 9 very small part Of the eight dol
lars. Inter-Lake Tribune.

ut will be way late in the year
when l get there, but l hope to be in
the game some time next season."
This is the latest word received
from Rube Waddell by Manager Kid
Taylor of the Ore Diggers. Rube was
in bed at Bourne, Tex, when he wrote
the letter.
Fight of His Life.
81 am making the fight of my life
to recover from this Illness" con-
tinued Waddell. AT times the bases
have filled up on me and my arm has
gone bad, but I haven't been scored
on and I am not going to be if I can
help it. This is the hottest game I
ever have played. My batting aver
age hasn't been what it used to be,
but I still have hopes of Shaping one
over the high boards. They'll have
to go some to carry the Rube out in a
basket"
Laughs at Physicians.
Reuben writes that an overdose of
creosote is responsible for his serious
illness and that he is not suffering
from tuberculosis. doctors ought to
learn how to administer that stuff to
a ball player" RUDE writes. II got
enought to knock me out of the box
in the first inning. A smaller dose
probably would have helped me along.
I'm going to fool the doctors and
get up and around in very short
time"
Friends Not Optimistic.
Friends of Waddell in Virginia fear
that the pitcher will not be sufficient
ly recovered to II join the club this
year. They say the Rube does not
appreciate how seriously ill he has
been and, as usual, is making sport
of his condition. He weighs less than
$50 pounds. He tipped the scales at
1870 last season. t...>s....> j. +

Business More Costly.

Mesaba range operators call atten-
ton to the fact that the business of
iron mining is becoming more costly.
Terms on mining leases are tighten
ing constantly and the fact that a
number of leases on the Mesaba
range recently have been thrown up
is cited as indicating that the operator
must have more liberal terms, if the
business is to continue as profitable
as it has in the past.
Big Year for District.
That 1914 will be one of the big.
gest years for the Virginia district
from the standpoint of mining &C.
tivity is indicated. Whether the
total of shipments reaches that of last
season, it is certain that. more mer
will find employment in the mining
industry in this section than ever be-
fore.
| While there is no official informa
ton available, the opinion prevail:
generally that the Oliver Iron Min
ing company will do much develop
ment work on the Mesaba during
1914. With the expiration of the Hill
leases on January I, 1915 and thu
present drilling activity, which ha:
pressed into service practically every
available drill on the Mesaba range
there is a general disposition to an
ticipate development work on new
properties on nextensive scale by
the Oliver.
In this immediate vicinity it is
developing the Richleau, the Mime
was, the Sullivan, the Prindle and TIN
Wanless property.
1t is believed that the Columbia
which is to be operated by the Jones
& Laughlin interests will begin de-
velopment here. Preliminary worl
is to begin on the site of the prop
erty which will be worked as on oper
pit and which is located within the
limits of the city of Virginia.
At the head of the lakes prepare
tions are being made for the opening
of the 1914 shipping season. Pre-.
dictions that more ore will be shipped
in 1914 than in 1913 are not lacking
Docks Being Repaired.
Docks at the head of the lakes, ex.
cept those constructed of concrete AND
steel are being repaired against the
rush that is certain to come when the
ice moves out. The greatest expendi.
ture is being made by the Great Nor
thern Railway company, which is re.
building one of it's four docks. The
work will cost about $25,OOO.
The Duluth, Missabe & Northern
Railway company is constructing q
concrete and steel structure which
will be 1904 feet in length and will
cost over $2,000,000. This will be
ready in the spring of 1915.
Enormous Shipping.
Last year the fifteen docks at the
head of the lakes shipped nearly 49,
100000 tons of ore. The Northern Pa.
cific dock, which was built last sum-
mer, did not start shipping until late
in the fall, loading only two boats
This new dock will be a big shippe,
this year and will, along with the Soc
line, receive all of it's ore from the
new Guyana range.

Don't Sleep Well
No Good Reason
just Can't Sleep

Some people can't sleep. There
seems to be no special reason. They
have no disease OF the nervous sys-
tenn. Digestion is fairly good Their
habits are pretty good. They may
smoke little or drink little, yet
their habits are fair. Still they can I
sleep well.
Just little unbalanced in the nerve
centers That is all. They should
have a little Fighting up"
A tonic will generally do this. The
right sort of a tonic. Per11na fs ex-
actly the tonic. Digestion is hurried
by Peruna The stomach Is empty
and ready to rest for the night. The
circulation is equalized. The brain
is relieved Of all congesttons and irri-
tations
The Peruna acts on every blood
vessel in the system. It acts on all
OF the nerve centers. One begins to
sleep and hardly knows why.
Take a teaspoonful to one table,
spoonful Of Peruna before each meal
Sometimes another tablespoonful at
bedtime is necessary, where the sleep
lessness is very pronounced.
Just try It, neighbor. You will be
glad IL you do. One bottle Will con-
vince you. Peruna is no sleep medi-
cine. It is not nervine. It contains
no narcotics. It is nothing Of that
sort. It is simply a regulative tonic.

FISHING
tDy Walt Mason

The winter wanes and soon the
rains of spring will start the grasses,
and trees will bud and streams in food
will thunder down the passes. Oh.
spring, sweet spring, you dear old
thing, for which all men are wishing,
when we can drill DER vale and hill,
to spend the long day fishing. Spring
comes apace and soon the face of
earth will smile and chuckle, and
danes will say to husbands gay, ITO
work get down and buckle!" We
greet with roars the grist of chores,
with pshawing and with pushing! We
take a pole to some deep hole and
spend the long day fishing! Spring
is the time when people climb from
age clear back to childhood, when
each heart burns and throb and yearns
for open air and wildwood. Spring
is the joy without alloy, the best the
gods are dishing, when we can sneak
down to the creek and spend the long
day fishing?
