Ore Situation

The opening of navigation for
the season of 1915 may be expect
ed to occur in three weeks. Yet,
as far as is known in mining circles
of Duluth no actual sales of iron
ore have been made says Skillings'
Mining and Market Letter. The
extent of negotiations may be
summed up as follows: The con-
sumner says to the producer, When
the time comes, and prices for this
season have been fixed, 1 shall
want some of that ore"
This appears to be the extent of
negotiations, and is as near reser-
walton as may be described. The
longer the time for fixing prices is
extended toward the opening of
navigation the better it should be
for the producer. Even though
there should be no increase in the
price of the ore, and there should
be some increase, the very late
ness of fixing prices will have some
compromising conditions favoring
the producer. The consumer will
be better prepared to make pur-
chases covering all, or the greater
part, of the season, which will
enable the producer to make full
financial arrangements, introduce
economies, and make preparations
which he would not otherwise feel
justified in making. In other
words it will be more to the pro-
ducer's advantage if he can know

An Elegant Ticket Before the Electors from
Which to Choose Capable Heads.
Liquor Question the All Absorbing Topic OF
Discussion Everywhere.

Next Tuesdays Battle of Ballots
promises to be the warmest had
in this city for several years.
The filings on the ballot closed
last Saturday and from the lis.
of names before the people there is
the best possible chance of getting
a good and capable lot of men to
fill the offices. There is no doubt
but what the voter has already
picked out his ticket from the list
of names and that he is fully pre-
pared to cast his ballot for the best
interests of Our citizens. The only
trouble with selecting a list of
officers is that each and everyone
has his dislikes and hence the
ballot.
Nearly every voter has been a
citizen of this city long enough to
be personally acquainted with the
men whose names appear on the
ballot and every voter is capable of
making a selection without the
dictation of friends and neighbors
and others who have an axe to
grind. This is too good town to
be rent internally with neighbor-
hood strife over a few paltry Offices
and who shall fill them. It is all
only matter of judgment and
friendship. The city will get
along just the same whether you
elect Tom, Dick or Bill as mayor
or aldermen. You can't keep a
