said.
There are two reasons for the de-

which are being taken Of the prison

for the insane at Como.
LAS Charlton had not the means to
bring over any OF his witnesses for

testimony taken at home, which was

Instead. the testimony OF the a

full green slopes Of St. James Park
which marks the center of fashionable
life in London. there have sprung up
almost over night a host Of temper
airy buildings, TO be used as an emery
eucy extension of the war Office. They
will house a staff OF a thousand clerks

So rapidly has the work Of this sec

the huge war building in Whitehall IS
badly overcrowded Early in the war
an extra story was built up on the

The new buildings in the park are

solidly constructed, with foundation
walls Of brick four feet high. concrete
floors. and walls Of carefully selected
timber. asbestos lined. The buildings
are only temporary. of course. but pro-

Jan. 1, 1915, is preparing for a
season of great activity. Old
mines are being whipped into
shape for heavier production and
much new territory is being strip
ped of its overburden preparatory
to mining. The prospects are that
the output this season will be fully
as great if not greater than was
produced in 1914.
In anticipation of greatly in
creased ore tonnage to be handled
this year, the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern has completed, at a cost
of more than 81 900, 900, ore dock
No. 5, with 3S4 pockets. The old
ore docks, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 last
year handled 6,318, POI gross tons
of ore, and should the added ton
mage coming from the Hill group
measure up to that of the last
season, the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern will this year handle
double the usual amount of ore.

After an illness dating back Il
last summer when he sustained al
injury. James B. Sheridan one oil
Ely's oldest settlers passed away

was SO years of age and his death

other being that of her sister, Mrs.
John Mahady who passed away
after having given birth to son
three weeks ago.
The funeral took place this after
noon from the residence and was
conducted by Rev. Mapson of the
Presbyterian church. The funeral
was largely attended, ruany old
friend of the family having congre-
gated to pay their last respects to
the departed. Many members of
the Old Settlers Association were
also present. Out of town people
in attendance were Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones and Mrs. VIM. Tracey of
Two Harbors, John Mahady of
Tower and others whose names we
did not learn. Jas. B. Sheridan of
Cook was also present.
The doubly afflicted relatives have
the sympathy of a host of friends
in their bereavement.

Summer Homes

The demand for islands in
Burnside Lake has been quite
brisk this spring and there are
strong prospects that only a few
will remain before this season
closes. The islands are being
eagerly sought by eastern parties
for summer home purposes.
Several fine homes will be built
the coming season so we are in
formed and this with the additions
and improvements being made at
Burnside Lodge the lake is coming
to the front and is recognized as
the handsomest place in the north
west to spend the summer. The
Duluth & Iron Range company
also have promised to give tele-
phone connections with the Lodge.

Reading the Exchanges

Every craft has its crosses. One
of the sore Affections of the news
paper business is found in the fact
that people generally think it's no
work to get out a paper. One of
the hardest jobs every editor does,
though generally the pleasantest,
is to read his exchanges. But it is
hard work and it must be done.
For the editor who gets a day or
two back" in his exchanges never
catches up. And the think that
makes him maddest, though he
will look up and greet the stranger
with smile who does it is for
man to come in saying, Well, 1
saw you were sitting there doing
nothing but reading, so l thought
I'd just pass the time of day with
youl"
Remember this, advises The
Emporia Gazette, you who would
have business with the editor:
Its all right to come in when he's
reading, or writing or editing copy,
but don't get it into your head that
when he's reading his exchanges
you have come in the idle hour.
How can an editor get any ideas
if he Doesn't read other ideas?
Do you think he sits down and
thinks 'em out of his head? Well
he dosent. He reads a score of
papers every morning and from one
or two he gets suggestion or two.
Sometimes vagrant item, a paid
local, telegraphic head, an adver-
tisement starts rich train of sug-
gestion. But the sure way to
wreck the train and make your
paper stupid and inane is to come
bursting in when he is reading his
exchanges. He is doing the best
work of his day.-Winona Republi-
can Herald.
