Increase in Ore Prices.

Lake Superior iron ore prices for
the season OF 1916 have just been
settled i'll the announcement that
important Cleveland ore selling in
terests began closing contracts at
an advance of seventy-fve cents a
ton over 1915 prices.
This would make the 1916 fig
ures. delivered at lower lake ports,
as follows: Old range bessemer,
S4. so; Mesaba bessemer, 81 20; old
range non-bessemer, S3.75; Mesa
ba non-bessemer, S3.55.
The last time that old range bes-
semer sold at 81. so with the other
grades in proportion was in 1911,
the price being settled on April p
of that year, at a reduction of fifty
cents from the 1910 prices. On Ap-
ril p, 1911, bessemer iron sold at
SIS valley, ard basic at s13.75,
while at the present bessemer iron
is selling at SIS valley.

his series he wrote an interesting
article entitled Wealthy Men of
the Lake Superior Region" as fol-
lows:
The iron ranges, particularly
the Mesaba, have made many mil
lionaires. A number of them re-
side in Duluth, the important and
busy city strung along hill at the
extreme head of Lake Superior,
which has MANAGED to outdistance
its adjoining rival, Superior, Wis.
A man who is getting IS cents per
ton, as royalty, on all the iron ore
hoisted from mine is a man of
some consequences, because every
time the skip comes up and dumps,
it is matter of dollar or so, and
the skip dumps many times during
the day and in the long hours of
the night-in fact a skip at a Lake
Superior iron mine is about as busy
as an elevator in women s depart
ment store on bargain day. 1t is
worthy of note, too, that in many
cases those made wealthy by the
discovery of iron ore on their lands,
have been the pioneers of the dis.
trict, men who came and settled in
the place when things didn't look
very we'll.
The Lake Superior region is a
country of big mines developed and
operated i'll solid way. The Wig
orous, beef-eating Cornishman was
instrumental in opening the mines,
and has impressed his personality
on the mining communities which
tendency for substantial practical
ity has been further added to by
the magnificent size of the ore de-
posits as proved up, in many in
stances turning out in excess of the
widest dreams of the discoverers.
For the most part, the Super
ior iron range towns are trim look
ing, prosperous communities with
the advantages of the bracing Lake
Superior climate. For a great min
ing region, the country is singu-
larly fiat and tending toward woods
and swamps, especially in Mime
sofa; in Michigan, there are some
fair sized hills, but no mountains
to speak of. Recently, commercial
clubs and business men of the
northern peninsula of Michigan
have been booming the district to
attraCtagricultural settlers and have
given it the engaging name of
"Cloverland.

SCOTT BACK, WILL
REPORT ON TRIP
Carranza'S Objection Not Ex-
peCted to Interfere With
Peace Conference.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. - Com
plete reports of the existing situation
in northern Mexico and on the Texas
border were to be presented to Sec'y
Lansing and Garrison by Gen. Hugh
l.. Scott, chief of staff of the army
today and tomorrow.
The general, who returned from
Texas yesterday refused to comment
on what he had achieved on his con-
fdential mission but his manner in
dicated that he was well satisfied with
the results 1t was expected that as
soon as he has made complete re-
port TO Sec'y Lansing, which may not
be until tomorrow. the state depart
ment will make an announcement OF
the time and place for the next con-
ference between Sec'y Lansing and the
South American diplomats.
Now that Villa and Zapata and all
of their immediate subordinates, have
accepted the invitation of the confer
ence TO participate in a general peace
conference, the administration is
waiting only on Carranza's reply
While il is understood that this will
be a rejection, it is not expected that
it will interfere with the holding OF
the conference. The state department
believes that, once the call for the
peace meeting is issued. CarranZa'
chiefs will reconsider their determin-
alton not to be represented and will
send delegates to care for their inter
ests.

most important conference ever held
by representatives OF labor, capital

While the immediate issue before

TO determine whether the British gov
ernment should iu the future have the
complete support OF the miners fed

The fact that 5000 miners returned

Dr.. A. B. Van 0rmer Tells of
Greatest Achievement of
Pedagogy at Opening SeS-
sion of Teachers Institute.
FEAR AS METHOD OF
TEACHING IN DISFAV0R
DR.. Henderson Comments on
Change in Recent Years.
Lack of Home Govern
ment Too Common.

The greatest achievement in the
history of pedagogy or education was
the teaching OF Laura Bridgeman. the
deaf, dumb and blind girl, according
to DIR. y. B. Van Ormer of the Irv-
ing college for women, at the opening
session of the St Joseph county
teachers institute Monday morning.
DR.. Van Ormer held that the teach
ing of Laura Bridgeman was even
more of an accomplishment than the
instruction of Helen Keller for Miss
Bridgeman's instructor, he said, had
to imprOvise his own methods, while
Helen Keller was taught by a system
that had already been tried out
More than 400 teachers gathered at
the high school Monday morning for
the opening session, marking one of
the largest Institutes ever held in
South Bend. The first lecture given
was by DR.. w. d. Henderson of Mich
igan university, who spoke on How
Our Language Grows" William

Earliest Achievement.
The instructor OF Laura Bridge
man was DR.. Samuel c. Howe" said
DR.. Ormer Monday morning You
have probably heard of Julia Ward
Howe. You probably never knew
that she married DR.. Howe when she
was Julia Ward which gave her her
full name. But it is of DR. Howe that
/ am going To speak, the man who ac-
complished the greatest achievement
in the history of pedagogy.
Laura Bridgeman was stricken
deaf, dumb and blind when she was
little girl between four and five
years old. Here she was with four
sense lines eliminated for she had
also lost the power of smell She was
also at an age when she had not re-
ceived any instruction. But what of
Helen Keller. you will say? The
teaching of Helen Keller was Won
derful thing. she took a college ed
ucatiOn and received college de-
gree. which Laura Bridgeman never
did. But it happened that the teach
er of Helen Keller was Miss Hamil-
ton. who came from the Boston insti-
tuition of which DR.. Howe was presi-
dent. She had a definite course Of
instruction to follow out. DR.. Howe
had to make out his own courses, de-
