Increase Ore Price.

The Ashland Press says an in
crease of fifty cents per ton for iron
ore is predicted. The following is
from a recent issue of the Press:
Reports that there will be an in
crease Of fifty cents per ton in the
price of iron ore are current among
Ashland men interested in mining
properties and who are engaged in
ore transportation business. The
increase will be announced by the
operators shortly, it is said.
If the reports are correct there
will be great increase in activity
on the iron ranges during the com
ing year Higher prices will war
rant owners of ore lands develop
ing their holdings and properties
already operating will employ larg-
er crews than for some years past.
Another feature which indicates
that the ore movement will be good
during the coming year is the fact
that the eastern = lways are in the
market for rolling stock. The re-
cent increase of five per cent in the
railway freight rates granted by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has resulted in the road going
into the market for equipment
which they have not been able to
buy when business conditions were
less satisfactory.
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
way has just called for bids on D.
O0O steel cars and the Pennsylvan
10 system is in the market for 8 900
pressed steel cars. Other roads are
preparing to place large orders.
This activity on the part of the
railroads, who have been practical
II out of the market for equip
ment in the last two years, is al
ready showing a favorable effect on
the steel and iron market.
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1915-01-23

Since several members of the
state legislature have announced
their intention of introducing bills
repeating the eugenic marriage law
several investigators have been
busy looking up statistics, accord
ing to a dispatch from the state
capitol.
The reports in almost all the
counties of the state show big fall
ing off in number performed in the
state in 1914. The investigators
have also found that never before
have there been so many common
law marriages contracted in the
state.
One specific case cited is in La
Crosse county, where there was a
big decrease in marriages while in
Winona, Mimi, there was a mark
ed gain. The record of marriages
recently published for Ashland
county for this year also shows a
big falling off.
Several counties in the state have
already issued protests against the
measure and expressed their dis
satisfaction. in the poor showing
that has been made in the Issuance
of marriage licenses since the Law
went into feet.

Forestry Question Up Again.

Another fight will be made on
the forestry question in the state
legislature, according to officials of
the county board of Rhinelander,
who appointed a committee to go to
Madison when a hearing is held.
Rhinelander men interested in
agricultural matters contend that
the legislative committees forestry
report but upholds the present for
estry policy. The report recon-
mends that sale of lands only where
tracts of 900 acres suitable for
agriculture can be found. Local
men say such large areas cannot
be bound in the whole of northern
Wisconsin and contend that the
acreage should be made smaller.
The committee to go to Madison
is composed of A. w. Brown, II
Wubker, Sr., and Ira Smith.

Movies Fifth Biggest Industry.

The development of the movie
during the past eight years is a
phenomenon which should impei
ancient Aladdin-if he knows about
ito turn over in his grave. 1t is
without parallel or comparison. 1t
would challenge the elasticity of
the imagination were there not the
facts TO chain us to actuality.
In 1914, up to the beginning OF
December, American manufacturers
have turned out no less than 10, 90
600 separate reels of negative film
from each Of which reels thirty five
positive" copies, OH an average,
are made. The standard reel is
900 feet long, which makes CO.
900, 600 feet of film, all told, includ-
ing both the originals and copiesl
About 68, 600 miles of motion
enough TO go round the
globe a little less than three times.
In one year less a month!
The cost of producing the ordin-
airy sort Of originals is at least 81 a
foot. This means $40, ,ooo, 900 spent
in making the negative reels alone.
The $50, 900 copies cost four cents
foot, which totals $1,000, 600 for
these. Altogether $37 ,OOo, 900 spent
in the manufacture Of films in
eleven months. Some figures Yes,
and they are not all. For this

which may be spent, as in the case
of much advertised seven-reel
drama now playing, as high as
$500, 600.
1t is estimated by w. +. Lawson
in Harper's Weekly that there are
today between 1900 and $4,000
motion picture theatres i'll the Unit.
ed States, to which more than 10,
900. 600 people go daily. A com
mission appointed by the mayor Of
Cleveland in 1913 reported that
one sixth Of the population Of that
city went to movie shows NJ least
once day. During the summer
months of 1914 the national board
of censorship estimated that in New

total population attended the mo-
ton picture theaters daily. Admis-

After Primary Election Law

The primary election law will
play an important figure in the de-
liberations of the Wisconsin legis.
lature this winter. Both Governor
Philipp and the Democratic mem,
bers of the legislature have plans in
mind for the modification of the
present law. Whether either of
them will accomplish their desire is
doubtful. The chances are that
the close of the session will see the
primary election law unchanged.
In the first place, the plans of
the governor and of the Democrats
are not indentical in their desire for
a change i'll the law. The governor
proposes the making of the law al
most negative, from the LaFollette
standpoint, by a return to the dele
gate system for the nomination of
state officers, his idea being for the
nomination in the primary election
of delegates to state convention,
who shall name the state officers
and promulgate the platform on
which they shall stand.
The idea of the Democrats is sim
ply to modify the law so as to legal
ize conventions such as the Demo
Gratis have always held until this
year for the formulation of a state
platform, and to make the platform
formulated i'll these conventions the
official platform of the party for
mulating it.
The LaFollette people desire none
of these changes. They assert that
the primary election is a success in
its present form, and that any effort
to secure changes in it only mean a
modification of the law which will
not be of any benefit, but which
will, on the other hand, very ma
terially weaken the measure and
make it practically useless as a wea-
pom in the peoples hands for the
control of their government. The
LaFollette leaders are most oppos-
ed to the Philip idea of an entire
change in the law. They say that
this idea attacks the fundamental
principle of direct nominations and
that the adoption of the proposed
plan of Mr. Philip for an amend
ment to the primary election law
would mean that the law might
as well be repealed altogether, and
that there be a complete return
to the old time csusus and con.
vention system.
