feeding in one small lake and in
many places found their trails and
tracks so abundant as to indicate
the presence of scores of the
animals in the vicinity. In fact
the evidence was found everywhere
of the abundance of both deer and
moose. G. A. A. Nelson, the
famous moose hunter and guide of
Lutsen, Cook county, made the
declaration to Mr.. Avery that in
the hunting territory back of
Lutsen there are ten times as many
moose today as there were ten
years ago, in his opinion, and he
is considered competent Judge.
Said the executive agent con-
corning other benefits of the refugee:
Another result afforded wild
life in this region has been the
rapid increase in beaver. A few
years ago beaver were on the verge
of extinction in this state. l was
surprised and delighted to find
these interesting and valuable
animals now comparatively abun-
dant in the territory visited. We
found their dams on number of
streams, located several of their
houses and found evidence of their
recent work on practically every
lake we saw.
The beaver is rapidly re-estab-
fishing itself in the unsettled por-
lions of Minnesota, and it is my
opinion, supported by the reports
of game wardens and forest
rangers, that there are many hun
dreds of beaver, perhaps thousands
in Cook county alone.
There is some hope also of the
return of the caribou, now practic-
ally gone from this state, as at
least one herd of about twenty
animals has been located recently

1t should not be understood
that the encouraging conditions
found here prevail generally in
regions remote from the protecting
influence of the refuge. They do
not. Moose, especially, are being
destroyed, lawfully for the most
part, but to an alarming extent in
certain other sections where they
have been abundant, which tends
to prove the efficacy of the refuge
plan. Minnesota is fortunate in
having taken steps in time before
the moose became merely a fond
meruory of old-time hunters and

TO RUSH WORK
Steel Plant at Duluth to Turn Out
BiIlGtS by November |

Five Hundred men have been
ordered put at work at the Duluth
Steel Plant in order to finish il
sufficiently to begin work about
Nov. 1.
A few weeks ago the announce
ment was made that the plant
would be in operation by March l,
1916, but the European war situa-
ton has fastened the plans of the
corporation. There is a heavy
demand on the part of the bellig-
erent countries for steel bars for
making shrapnel, steel for railroad
equipment, and steel for bridges
are in strong demand by the
foreign powers.
This means much and shows the
trend of the times. A large mum

the working forces at the mines
on the ranges.

crowd listened with interest. The
address by Rev. Williams received
much applause and it could be
plainly seen that his talk was well
received and his remarks taken
with interest. It was good
Sports and races then followed
until dinner time.
After dinner a ball game took
place at Athletic park between Ely
and Virginia team which resulted
in score of 8 to 5 in favor of the
visitors. The attendance was good
as was also the game, both teams
putting up a good exhibition of the
national sport.
Mcdonald Bros. dog and pony
show was here and gave an after
noon and evening exhibition.
Although not being the largest
show travelling it was good.
Two accidents happened during
the day. The float in the parade
by the children broke down while
going up the hill on Sheridan
street and the children were thrown
to the ground, several of which re-
ceived slight wounds. The other
accident occurred in the motorcycle
race when the machine driven by
Gianotti 'looped the loop" on the
Burnside road and ditched the
driver who received several bruises
and was badly shaken up.
A dance at the Turf Hall in the
evening given by Knutson's Or
chestra was largely attended and
enjoyed by all.
Of course as usual, the festivities
would not be complete without the
run by the fire department and at
about II O'Clock someone turned in
an alarm at the Chandler location
which gave the boys a nice healthy
run.
Taking everything into consi-
deration it was without a doubt
one of the best celebrations held in
this city in several wears.

PLENTY BUSINESS
Additions to Iron Plants Being
Made Heavy Foreign Demand

The reality of the Improvement
in business is shown not only by
the large number of inquiries and
by the general tendency toward
higher prices, but also by very
heavy shipments and by the steady
increase of activities in manufac-
turing plants, says the Iron Trade
Review. While orders connected
with the European war are still an
important factor, there is encour-
aging increase in domestic demand.
For example, in sheets, buying of
automobile manufacturers has been
very heavy and last week the

ness in two years. Many ware

Was Trying to Drown Moose

While Forest Ranger A. B.
Gibbs, together with Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson and Miss Hazel Robin
son, of Deer River, were up the
lake in the forest service launch
the other evening, they came
across a rowboat chasing a cow
moose in the water. The animal
was about exhaused and would
soon have been meat for the chaser
He was trying to tire the brute so
that it would be safe to approach it
near enough to hit it in the head
with an axe which he carried.
Upon discovery he attempted to
make a run to get away, but the
ranger headed him off and stopped
him. The matter has been taken
up with the proper officials and is
not ended yet. The party is known
and while he did not kill the
animal he was only stopped from
doing so by timely interference.
What can be in the mind of a
man of this kind is past finding
out. This is the closed season for
all game, and the outlaw who kills
any animal now destroys family.
This man should be fined for his
intent.

THE CELEBRATION
About the Best Ever Held in This
Ciy--EIceIIent Weather

About the best celebration thai
occurred in this city for years wa:
the Fourth of July celebration held
here Monday.
The festivities started at S O clock
in the morning by raising the flags
to the strains of the Star
Spangled Banner" by the Ely City
and High School bands, and from
then on until late in the evening il
was one glorious day. The day
started out cold and wet but before
9 o'clock the clouds disappeared
and old Sol made his appearance
making it an ideal day for just
such an occasion.
At $50 the parade headed by the
bands left the city hall and paraded
the principal streets of the city,
and was without a doubt the
largest ever witnessed here. 1t is
estimated that at least 1900 children
participated in the affair. The
lineup of the parade was as
follows:
Mounted police. Ely City Band
Ely Fire Department, Mayor and
City Council in Automobiles, City
Officials, High School Band, Citi-
zens in Decorated Automobiles
about 1900 children carrying
American Flags, float of children
and the Goddess of Liberty, J. A.
Rothman float, Savolainen float
automobile float of Chas. Ander-
son, Uncle Sam and the Statue of
Liberty, Slovenian Society, Smuk S
Harnessed Bull, Austrian Orches-
ira and Calithumpians.
After the parade the committee
paid the prizes which were award
ed to the following: Best decorat
ed automobile, Chas. Anderson;
Business float, J. A. Rothman. 1st
prize, Abr. Savolainen, End prize;
Largest number of members of any
society in line, Slovenian Society.
All children carrying American
flags in the parade were also
awarded a prize.
Next in order was the reading of
the Declaration of Independence
at the city hall by John Rautio,
followed by an address by Rev. B.
E. Williams. Mr.. Rautio's read
ing was rendered in a most salts
factory manner and the large

houses selling large variety of
products report that the slow, but
steady improvement of preceding

steady improvement of preceding
months was continued during
June. Leading companies are ex-
pected to announce very soon
another advance of 81 per ton on
plates, shapes and bars. Among
the most important contracts for
structural material awarded during
the past week were $4,000 tons for
the new municipal bridge at ST..
Louis, to the American Bridge Co.
and about IA 900 tons for the Polk
street warehouse of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, at Chicago, to the
McClintic- Marshall Co. Awards
are more numerous and the gen.
eral tone of the structural market
considerably stronger.
Four tank ships awarded by the
Standard Oil Co. to the New York
Ship Building Co. will require
from 10000 to- $4,000 tons of
shapes and plates, but the vessels
are not to be delivered for about
two years, owing to the filled up
condition of the ship building COM
pany. Some irregularity in plates
continues, and while 1.25c, Pitts
burgh. is the usual quotation for
third quarter, sales are being made
at 1.15c and 1.20c.
Reports from the Connellsville
region indicate that Italians in
large numbers are leaving to take
part in the war and that there is
increasing danger of a shortage in
labor. During the past few days,
a number of companies have adj
vanced wages of their men, bring
ing them up to the schedule of the
Prick Coke Co. Prices of coke for
prompt delivery are stiffening
Quotations on old material are
showing an upward tendency after
prolonged period of depression.
Some grades have been marked up
at Pittsburgh. The market shows
Improvement at Chicago and else
where and steel works in eastern
Pennsylvania are buying scrap
more freely.
Important inquiries for railroad
equipment are still pending from
foreign countries. Russia is &C
lively negotiating for at least $780,
900 tons of steel rails and is also
figuring on ordering additional
rolling stock. France is in the
market for about 100000 tons of
rails and may place an order for
345 passenger coaches. On an in
quiry for 10000 tons Of rails for
shipment to Aust ALA, bids are to
be received July 7. Inquiries for
cars for domestic lines aggregate
from 5000 to 10000.
The demand for lathes and
other machine tools for the manu-
facture of munitions is of very
large volume. Many companies
are looking into the possibility of
engaging in the manufacture of
shells, but find it very difficult to
obtain the necessary equipment for
anything like early delivery and
buying is not of the large volume
that it would be if prompt delivery
could be guaranteed. Domestic
demand shows some improvement,
but orders not connected in any
way with the war are rather light.
The increased volume of output
of finishing mills is shown by their
demand for billets and several COM
panies which usually are sellers
may be compelled to buy open
hearth billets to meet pressing re-
quirements. The Steel Corpora
ton is understood to be negotiating
for round tonnage. 1t has not
purchased pig iron and coke, as
rumored.

The Railroads and Prosperity

Few barometers of business condi- tions are so dependable as the rail roads. When the transportation com panies are crowded with traffic and when they are able to make large ex- penditures for extensions and better ments then prosperity is in full swing and good times have come to stay.
 In most sections of the country the railroads, for several months past, have shown gains in their gross earn ings, and in the south there is just now decided improvement in traffic. The Louisville and Nashville, the Southern, the Seaboard and other lines operating in this district have made substantial betterments in spite of the recent depression and in short while they will add largely to their equip ment.
 But as a general proposition the railroads will not enjoy a full meas ure of prosperity, such as was the case ten years ago, until, as the bu- reau of railway news and statistics of Chicago points out, the interstate commerce commission realizes the ef- feet of rate reductions and wage in creases. The commission has meant to deal fairly with the carriers, but its concessions on rate questions have, in many instances, been inadequate to meet the changed conditions.
 The Chicago bureaus statement of revenues and expenses of the railroads of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30 last, shows that gross revenues from operation for the period were over $123,OOO,0O0 below those of the preceding year, and near ly $20O, O,0O0,OOO under those of two years ago. Through the adoption of economies, however, the net operat- ing income showed an increase of al- most $19,O0O,OOO over 1914.
 The bureau goes on to say:
 The hope for the future lies, not in greater volume of traffic, sooner or later is sure to come, but in rates read justed to the higher cost of providing adequate and improved transportation for an exacting public of over 900 souls. The drastic economies of today, when traffic is slack, will not provide efficient and adequate facilities when the 3o0,OOO idle cars are all In demand at once. Per- manent prosperity can come to American railways only when rates are adjusted on cost and value of the service.
 Now that the country is entering upon new era of prosperity it can, without doubt, be made all the more permanent if the railroads and the interstate commerce commission get closer together.

Jackson Highway Convention

The Jackson highway convention, which will be held in Nashville on the 23d and 24th of this month, promises to be very largely attended Dele gates will be present from Chicago, Louisville, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Miami, Fla, and cities and towns in between. Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, Decatur and Athens should be particularly we'll represented.
 The Jackson highway will follow the route of the old Louisville and Nashville turnpike and as the greater part of the proposed thoroughfare from the lakes to the Ohio river is made up of good roads, and as some of the roads in the south that will form links in the highway are now in fine condition, all that is required to unify and complete the system is en- thusiastic cooperation on the part of county authorities, local road improve ment associations and the pioneer promoters of the movement.
 Several north and south highways have been projected and on some of them much construction work has been done. But the Jackson line can be completed it's entire length at less cost than any of the others of ap- proximately the same mileage. The Nashville meeting will give renewed impetus to the enterprise.
 Before the next winter tourist sea- son begins the Jackson highway should be ready for motoring parties. After it is formally opened the Jack son will be the most popular route this section of the coun- trv

Albert of Belgium proved himself King of the older kind when he fought with his men In the trenches, shared their hardships, suffered with them, and held his little had saved Europe from the menace of a Germanic control. Now stories are coming of King Vic- tor, and of how much beloved he is among his mon. He Is of the same democratic type as Alberta King. but not a despot, and not believer in the divine rights of kings. With him. and with Albert, their positions are grave responsibilities, not God-given chances to do as they please. The democratic and humanitarian na- ture of King Victor has been known a long time; earthquakes proved that wherever his subjects were in trouble there was he, and as willing to work as the humblest. He proved his manhood then.
 Albert of Belgium the unfortunate but intelligent Czar of the Russians, King Vic tor-these are the monarchs who have shown that the rule of kings Is still filled with some or the older good qualities. In striking contrast to these is George Of England, weakling, about whom one hears little or the Kaiser. a believer in his own divinity, tyrannical by nature, and wholly lacking in either democracy or humanity

Knowledge and Power

In the charity ward of a Chicago hospital lies an old man-nearly 80 years old, in fact He is Jacques Van Hemert, one of the most profoundly educated men in the country, a man speaking twenty-four languages.
 Yet today he is a pauper, cared for at the expense of the city with noth- ing to show for his wonderful educa- tion and life of unusual opportuni- ties. When questioned as to what had brought him to the state of pauperism he replies:
 q have simply never had any busi- ness sense. Be happy is my philoso- phy."
 Learning is a good thing, but it is poor excuse for improvidence, and Professor Van Hemert again demon- strates that knowledge and wisdom may be as far apart as the poles. The man of little education who holds the philosophy of right living, helpful ness and diligence, is far wiser than the man who can speak the language of every nation.
 Be thou diligent in business" has been translated in every tongue, but evidently the professor" as Van Hemert is called, has overlooked the sage advice.
 The demand for practical educa- tion is growing every day. The world is not demanding a knowledge of many languages. In fact the man who can correctly speak and write one language-his native tongue-can get along very well, if he have some prac- tical ability in applying his knowl- edge.
 Twenty languages did not keep the professor out of the poorhouse, but an average endowment of common, business sense has made many man wealthy, honored and much more use- ful to the world.

State Harbor Commission

The state of Louisiana, by getting control of the harbor and terminals at New Orleans and administering that property through state harbor com mission, has taken step far in ad- vance of the other ports on the gulf. Under the most favorable conditions it will require several years and suit able legislation to bring about rela- tive results at Alabama's seaport, Mo- bile.
 The first recognition by the state of its responsibility for the development and maintenance of an open port at the mouth of its river system was by the passage in the senate of bill in- troduced by serator Harry T. Hart well of Mobile creating state harDor and entrustins to it all of
