Higher Ore Prices

Iron ore will be worth at least rs
cents a ton more for the season of
1916 than it was for the season of
1915 and when the prices are
established it would not be sur
prising if the figures would show
an advance of so cents ton over
this years levels. This is the
opinion of mining men on the
Ranges who are beginning to pay
some attention to the prospective
ore market for 1916.
If it is later borne out by the
facts it means a winter of un-
precedented activity in the iron
mining industry on the ranges
and a shipping season next year
that will lay all records to date in
the shade.
An interesting story is going the
rounds of mining circles today that
one ore concern on the Range has
been offered a big ore contract
for next season at a price advance
of rs cents ton guaranteed and a
stipulation to split the difference
if the price levels should be over
that figure for 1916.
Those said to be connected with
the deal decline to discuss it in any
way with the newspapers, but it is
nevertheless verified. 1t is inter
esting as indicating that furnace
concerns are convinced that prices
will be higher next year than this
and that the only question at this
time with them seems to be how
much higher

Excellent Performance

The University Lyceum Players
gave an excellent program at the
first of the Mothers Club course
Monday evening at the Washington
Auditorium. The company con-
sisted of four people under the
leadership of Miss Alice O'Connell
and presented three very charming
plays.
The first playlet was Tangled
Wires. THE Bishop and the
Convict" was next. The crowning
play of the evening was Nance
Oldfeld." All the players shone
in this and it is safe to say that the
charming play was given by artists
of the first class. Miss O'Connell
was particularly charming in this
play and her support was excellent
The entertainment was marred

Considerable Money

Three hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars in hard cash,
almost third of a million, was
paid into the state treasury Friday
by the several mining companies
operating on state iron lands.
The payment covered operations
for the three months ended Sept.
80, and is the second largest for
any similar period in the states
history. The royalty rate on iron
ore is rs cents ton, and the pro.
duction from state lands within
the time named was l 100000 tons

City Taxes

If you keep up a town there
must be taxes, says the Ishpeming
Iron Ore. If you don't keep it up
the taxes are going to be excessive
some day when repairs have to be
made. The thing to do is to keep
the streets and other departments
up. Low taxes sometimes suggest
slack management. If you get
anything worth while these days
you must expect to pay for it.
The thing to watch is that we get
a dollars worth of work for the
dollar expended. Good streets,
good schools, good fire and police
protection, good water, lighting
and sewer service all figure in our
we'll being. These things are a
part of our lives. It's better to
live in community where we have
proper sanitary conditions than in
one where we do not. These
things are so closely associated
with our lives that we should have
them of proper kind. 1t takes
money to keep up town just the
same as it does to keep up the
home.

Too Much Red Tape

It is said that when the legisla-
ture passed the bill appropriating
money for the erection of a fish
hatchery at Tower, the bill read a
fish hatchery on Pike River. {"
The Duluth & Iron Range offered
the fish commission fine site for
the hatchery free of charge near
Tower but because the site is not
on Pike River, a site will needs be
purchased at considerable ex-
pense. The red tape in this mat
ter will cost several more dollars
than is absolutely necessary and
only delays the erection of the
hatchery-a much needed and
beneficial institution = until a
proper site can be secured.

Exploration Work

All the Exploration companies
working on the Vermilion range
are bringing in very optomistic re-
ports of their work. Several COM
panies are drilling the range and
more will be active very shortly.
Osterberg Bros. are running a
drill on the Quinn claim on White
Iron Lake owned by Richard Ryan
and others of Duluth.
John g. Howard is exploring for
ore with the best of results in 6O-9

Steel Market Active

Car building companies and ship
builders are contracting for large
tonnage of plates to cover recent
orders, says the last issue of Iron
Trade Review. Contracts for YES
sells include three large freighters
on the lakes, four schooners to be
built at Toledo and a 12,OOO-ton
boat placed by the Coastwise Trans
portation Co. with the New York
Ship Building Co. Other orders
for vessels are pending at both lake
and ocean ship yards. There is
active inquiry for sheets for export.
Plans for the portable houses to be
erected for the use of soldiers and of
inhabitants of devastated districts
in Europe are under consideration.
Fabricators of structural steel are
quoting higher prices, following a
period when many contracts were
taken at or below cost.
Foreign countries are showing
renewed activity in placing orders
for rails and cars. Russia has
ordered $4,000 tons of rails from
the Lackawanna Steel Co., making
total of 335, 900 tons ordered
from different companies during
the past few months, and is still in
the market for from $4,000 to
10000 tons. France has renewed
inquiry for from 40, 900 to $4,000
tons of rails and 1,5OO box cars.
The Reading railroad has ordered
$500 cars from the Pressed Steel
Car Co., 1 900 from the American
Car & Foundry Co.. and 500 from
the Standard Steel Car Co. The

Thinks Ii Good Enough

that Governor Hammond believes
that the proposed reorganization
of the state government could be
best realized by the adoption IN
whole or in part of the bill pre-
pared by the last efficiency and

the 1915 legislature rejected. To
that end he recommended its adop-
tion by the new efficiency and
economy commission or at least its
careful consideration.
The governor also believes in the
merit system in the selection of
state employees. AS to his own
department he sees no need of
clothing him with additional legis-

Whenever | use the word 'foot -kisser,' or

devout Catholic.
Many Catholics are easy going and indif-
ferent. knowing little OF nothing of the

church.
They hear the priests humble Latin, and
are impressed by it, because they don't
derstand what the fat man at the altar is
saying.
They even sign kilograms to the Italian
Pope which begin with the words, "Pr0strate
at your feet."
Now if I were to use the word Tral43ub

Hence, [ allude to the priests God

In like manner, I pleasantly allude to the
Catholics at communion. as "God-eaters," be-
cause they claim to swallow the divinity
which the priest has created at the altar.
No priest should feel hurt with me for
calling him God-maker. He mustn't get
mad with me for taking him at his word.
Similarly, no layman Catholic should fret,
when describe him as God-eater. He must
net fall out with me for putting his faith
into my own simple language, instead Of using
such a iaac-Jreoker as Characterization. :"
Now. if the Roman Catholics practise the
kissing of the Pope's foot-a me-honored
custom in their church-it is harmless for
me to call them foot -kissers.
People who kiss feet, are foot kissers, you
know Facts are facts. 1t is not for me

I see people who kiss feet, call them foot
