world but Great Britain could do what
We are doing at present in organizing
war supplies. There has been no
precedent, there can be no parallel for
such an effort We are not military

our trust lay in the security of our
own shores and our empire afforded
by our navy. Yet in just a year We
have enlisted 100000 men, and In
the same time We have organized such
production of war supplies for fleets
and armies that at the moment it ex-
ceeds anything anyone ever dreamed
of in any country: When it reaches
it's maximum, as it will do before very
long, it will be the most" astonishing
achievement Of industry that the
world has ever seen or perhaps ever

FALL HATS, WARM CAPS. AT
THE BIG DULUTH.
RAILWAY MAIL PAY
BOOSTED MILLIONS
Middle States Have More Tons
Hauled Than Any Other
Section of u. S:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The post
office department has fixed the pay
OF railroads operating in the third
contract section, which includes Min
nesota, for carrying the mails during
the next four years. Large increases
are made. Competition between the
roads is eager.
The third section handles the heav-
lest bulk of mail. It embraces Wis
constn, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Ohio.
The reimbursement is based. upon. a
complete Weighing of all mail car
ried for 105 day.
The mail in the third section Is car
ried over 67;375 miles OF railroads py
l05 railroad companies. The weigh
ing showed an average of 5,724,34S
pounds, or 1852 tons, of mail carried
daily in more than 1000 trains. The
pay Of all the roads in the district is
fixed at $2O,073,484 year, an in
crease over the pay often years ago
of more than, $4,300,00O. But because
of competition of the roads, this is
100000 less than the maximum al
lowed by law. -.
1As eV1uel4ce OF Ine eager cOmpeu-
ton OF railroads to carry the mail the
post-office department cites the fol-
lowing: Between Chicago and Mime
apolis the Northwestern road is the
cheaper, because shorter and because
OF land grant deductions. Yet the
Milwaukee road accepts the lower
rate of the Northwestern on all
through mails, thereby reducing its
pay from what, it otherwise would be
entitled to get by. $4,000 a wear. -
