Pens.
The first machine for tho manufac.
ture OF pens was the invention OF m
American, Samuel Slucum, who was
born 1873 years ago today, March a.
1892. AS result of his invention
steel pens, although nude by hand
long before, came into general use
and displaced tho quill. Before Slo.
GUMS machine began turning out pens
In large quantities, steel pens sold ut
wholesale for about $S6 per gros, but
by 1880. thanks to the improved pro-
cess OF manufacture. the price was
reduced to 50 per gross. The ancient
Egyptians used brush or reed pen
in writing on the delicate membrane
obtained by unroiling the stem of the
papyrus, water.plant once abundant
along the Mic. The ancient Greeks
and Romans also used a reed cut to
point similar TO the modern pen. In
the middle ages a metal stylus was
used 10 write OH wood coated with
wax. Quilts were first used as pens
In the fifth or sixth century, and
their use became general. "lron
pens" were made as early as 1886, but
the quill held its vogue until tho in.
Vention OF machinery for pen.making
placed steel pens within the reach

TWO GOOD MEN
SIGN CONTRACTS

Virginia contracts have been signed
by Ed Herian and Lyle Carlin, men,
bers of last years Ashland baseball
team. Whether or not they will play
in this city remains to be seen, de-
pending on what disposition is made
Of the Virginia franchise, but it is
certain they will play on the Coates 4
Finch team in the Northern league.
Herian is an infielder and catcher. He
is the heaviest hitter on the Ashland
team and last year earned from the
fans the sobriquet of the michigan
fence BUSTER" making more long and
timely drives than any man on the
Ashland team. Carlin is also heavy
hitter and a fast infielder. The boys
are regarded as two Of the most likely
recruits signed by the management Of
the Virginia team so far this season.

iary, the Woman's Circle;
Fred Haller Lands Convention.
Nineteen Seventeen State Con-
vention Will Come to Virginia
and Will Bring More Than 800
Delegates from Various Lodg-
es Over State of Minnesota.

AT the state convention of the
Woodmen of the World and it's auxil-
iary, the Woman's Circle, concluded

Minnesota, last night, Virginia was
designated as the city where will be
held the next state convention of the
order and it's auxiliary in April of
1917.
The landing of the convention for
Virginia was due to the work of Fred
Haller, Central avenue shoe merchant,
who was the delegate from Virginia
and has for some time been working
'on the matter of having Virginia de-
'signated the next state meeting place
'of the Woodmen of the World. Mr..
:Haller first proposed Virginia at the
;state convention Of the Woodmen of
the World two years ago, when it went
TO Duluth.
The order has a large membership
Ower the state and at the Staples
meeting about 800 delegates were in
attendance, besides those present to
attend the meeting of the Woman's
Cirele- The lodge is a fraternal in
surance order which has large and
constantly increasing membership in
Virginia.
Mr.. Haller told the delegates yes
:re3day that he invited them to the best
little city in the world, the best town
in Minnesota, located in one of it's
most interesting sections, promised to
show them the largest cork white pine
lumber manufacturing plant in the
northwest, the open pit mines, the
finest school buildings Of any city of
:similar size in the state and did a
Btroke Of boosting that was so effective
that Virginia was selected with slight
opposition.
Mr.. Haller is expected to return tc
the city this evening.

IRON AND Steel, !:
TRADEL00KSF0R
A GOOD SEASON
Virginia Mining Man Returned
from East Says Conservatism
CharacteriZes Outlook for 1915
at Eastern Centers; Start
Will Be Slow.
Growing Impression in Financial
and Business Circles That Eu-
ropean War May End as Sud-
denly as It Was Begun; and
That Finish Is Near.

Conservatism characterizes the out
look of the iron and steel trade at
eastern centers for the season Of 1915,
according to A. B. Coates, who return
ed today from a visit to New York
City Cleveland and several eastern
cities.
'The general opinion seems to be, -
said Mr.. Coates this morning, that
we are going to have very good year
and that before the end Of the 1915
ore shipping season there may be de-
velopments which will cause opera
tions at the close Of the season to be
brisk in the ore market. The season
will probably be late in opening, but
the outlook seems to be for a gradual
increase in business through the sum-
mer months. It is not going to be a
big year perhaps In the broadest sense
Of that term, but it will be a very
fair season.
"In eastern business and financial
circles there is a growing impression
that the European war may be ended
just as suddenly as it started. The
spring campaigns in Europe are being
watched with the keenest interest. II
Greece and Italy should enter the war
on the sides of the allies, which now
seems quite probable, many shrewd
observers hold the opinion that it may
result in an early conclusion Of peace
All authorities are agreed that with
the coming Of peace there will follow
here a period Of industrial activity
quite unprecedented"
: No Ore Sales.
! Up to this time, no orc sales. have
been reported on the Mesaba Range
and there is little indication Of pre-.
parations for a resumption Of mining
activity, except by the Great Northern
interests which, according to a stor,
from Hibbing are preparing to shil
; 5000, 900 tons from their Mesabt
Range properties.
Local operators do not believe th|
price of ore will be fixed for some
time. They anticipate an increas,
over the price levels of last year ant
if it is not forthcoming many Of then
will allow their properties to renal,
idle this year.
