An Experienced Candidate.

Attorney w. B. Anderson of Mime
apolis and Judge James H. Quinn OF
Fairmont are the candidates for AS
sociate Justice of the State Supreme
Court. We are confident Judge Quinn
will be elected, but we want to see his
majority big one, not merely because
he is a candidate from the country but
because he is more fitted for the place
Mr.. Anderson never has had any judi.
cial experience, while the Judge has
gained the acquired experience after
nearly quarter of a century of ser
vice as District Court Judge. It is
true that not few voted for Mr.. An
derson at the primaries thinking he
was of Scandinavian descent. AS a
matter Of fact the two candidates are
Of Scotch-Irish descent. Remember
this, Mr.. Voter, if Judge Quinn is de-
feated the entire state supreme court
will be composed of men from the
cities. AS long as we have the better
man in the country let's give him our
upport.-Albert Lea Times-Enter-

What Would You Do?

If you were running a business, and
needed man, you would, no doubt,
engaged an experienced man in pref
erence to an inexperienced man. It
would be "good business" for you to
do so. In this state there, are two cam
didates for Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. One, James H. Quinn,
has the benefit Of twenty years ex-
perience on the district court bench.
The other, w. B. Anderson, has never
had any judicial experience. It is ap-
parent, therefore, that the man to vote
for is James H. Quinn. -Winnebago

Boston firm, which port we loaded
coffee for.
Each bag of coffee weighs 1872
pounds. Some of the steamers
were loading by men. They took
the bags from the warehouses, car
ried them to the steamers and
dropped them on deck to be low
cred into the holds. In this pro-
cess a stream of men flows from the
wharves 10 the steamer. The men
go on a trot, each loaded with a
bag weighing 1872 pounds. Some
Of them carry the bags on their
heads, holding the ends of the bags
with their hands as they run up the
board walk to the deck. The men
are very full chested and have very
thick necks. the muscles of which
seem to have been turned to iron
by the enormous weights which
from boyhood they have been ac-
customed to carry on their heads.
Most of the large steamers are
loaded with endless belts like those
upon which wheat is carried from
place to place in our great eleva-
tors. These belts run upon carriers
which begin in the basement of the
coffee warehouse and wind their
way until they reach the wharves.
Here they rise and trayel overhead
and empty their loads into the holds
of the steamers. The bags are
dropped on the belt and are not
touched again until they are packed
in the hold. AS they move along
in the air they look like gigantic
mice creeping along. We load
wheat at Seattle in the same man
ner by placing the bags on electric
belts. There are more than twenty
warehouses running for a mile or
so along the docks. They cover
many acres and are packed from
floor TO roof. The bags are laid up
like cordwood, and a warehouse
may be solid mass of these bags of
coffee. l have been told that when
they are loading a ship with coffee
that every time watch ticks, 1872
pounds of coffee falls upon the
travelling belt and is started on the
way to the hold of the steamer.
The hourly stream measured little
less than 5000 pounds, and every
twelve hours about 100000 pounds
of coffee is loaded by each of the
belts.
This work begins in July and
keeps up for months. At times
more than 5O,OOO,O00 pounds are
loaded in single day. At the
same time more Brazilian coffee is
being loaded at Rio de Janeiro and
and at Bahia and elsewhere. The
total crop of the country is
two-thirds that of the whole world.
In some years 1t has amounted to in
the neighborhood of 20 600, 900 bags.
and of this this 100000 bags
have come from Santos alone.

world. My first visit was in 1900.
1t was then known as the white
mans grave. 1t reeked with yellow
fever and Death stalked in the
streets. 1t is now one of the most
healthful cities of the tropics. Fol-
lowing the wonderful revolution in
sanitary matters brought about by
our work at Panama, which has
gone on all over Brazil, Santos filled
in the swamps about the water
front and destroyed the mosquito
breeding area. It put in a new
drainage system, inaugurated a
government water supply and, as a
result, made the town as healthy as
a mountain village. The city has
built about three miles of first class
docks and has practically recon-
structed the business section. 1t
has paved the streets with asphalt
and laid down sidewalks of
concrete.
The town is now wonderfully
clean and we'll kept. The buildings
are of two, three and more stories.
They are painted all colors of the
rainbow. The city has good sys-
tenn of electric cars. There is one
line that takes you out to the beach
at Guaruja. This is one of the
fines: beaches in Brazil, and upon
it are hotels and cottages. This
place is in fact a summer resort for
all parts of the Brazilian republic.
Between 1900 and 1912 Santos has
tripled in population. 1t has now,
or had in 1912, about 100000 in
habitants, and it will continue to
grow. 1t lies on a little island,
close to the mainland at the foot of
the Brazilian highlands, and just
where the great down.spout from
the coffee plantations ends. 1t will
always be great port, aud, in ad-
dition. has banana industry. And a
sugar industry is growing up in the
lowlands near by. 1t is the gate
way to the vast coffee plantations
of Sac Paulo, and for a greater
part of the year steady stream of
coffee bags flows down into it from
the Brazilian highlands, and then
takes the ship which carries them to
the United States and Europe.
Everything in Santos is coffee. The
town is built upon coffee beans and
the fortunes of its citizens rise and
fall with the price of coffee. The
people talk nothing else but coffee,
even as the people of Iowa talk
principally of corn. The street
traffic of Santos is coffee. Huge
automobiles piled high with coffee
bags move this way and that.
Heavy carts similarly loaded are
hauled by mules. And there are
ships taking on coffee for all parts
of the world. ] came to Santos

MA 10 MO O0 JauolrO.
IH6M This meteorite is the
~ largest in any museum;
- it is more than seven
feet long, almost five feet in width,
and it's weight is about twelve hun
dred tons. 1t was first discov-
cred in 1874, and the following year
an attempt was made to convey it
to the town of Bahia by means of a
truck built for the purpose. 1t took
the men three days to load it, and it
is said eight oxen dragged it a dis
tance of fifteen hundred feet to the
bed of stream near by. where they
had to abandon it. There it lay for
twenty five years, when an English
man found it resting in a bed of
rust. Several years later a few
pieces were broken off by the aid of
instruments and fire and taken to
other museums. The largest piece
is now in a museum in Munich,
Germany.
1t was shortly after DIR. Derby
came to Brazil that he concluded to
get the meteorite to Rio de Janeiro.
A railroad had been built in the
meanwhile and special truck was
made to work on the rails. 1t took
one hundred and twenty-six days to
get the meteorite to the railroad,
and it was finally brought to Rio de
Janelro in 1899.
The meteorite was carried over a
wild country and across a range of
mountains which were twenty-four
hundred feet high.
Brazil has also produced a vast
amount of diamonds. There is no
doubt. however, that diamonds are
still being found III Brazil. And no
one knows but what diamond pipes
may yet be discovered. Until the
opening up of the mines of South
Africa, most diamonds were found
in the gravel of streams; they were
known to exist almost two hundred
years ago. As far back as 1892 no
less than thirty thousand men were
searching for diamonds in the state
of Minas, and during the following
half century Brazil exported precious
stones to the value of $18,00O,O00.
During the eighteenth century
the stones were sold in parcels by
contract under government regula-
tions, and the average price was 50
per carat. Up to 1850 more than a
quarter of million carats of dia-
monds were taken out of two rivers.
Until 1871 Brazil held first place in
the world in the production of
diamonds.
The first diamonds were discov-
cred in the state of Minas Gereas,
in a country which is about five
hundred miles north of Rio de ia
neiro. The country has an eleva-
tion of from thirty-five hundred to
ffty-seven hundred feet above the
sea. Much of the diamond country
is made of ravines, and gems are
found in sort of blue clay de-
posit in beds few feet in thickness.
There are also diamond fields in
central Bahia, and many are found
in the streams. Some of the gravels
are in swamps, buried from twenty
to thirty feet in mud, and some lie
in streams on the bedrock below the
gravel. Some of the mining isdone
by dredging. but not very success
fully.
Mining for diamonds in South
Africa is done on grand scale.
The fields are owned by the diamond
syndicate and the whole is in the
hands of great trust, which hires
the labor and fixes the prices.
There no one can mine for dia-
monds without the consent of the
trust and the government, and he
cannot even buy and sell diamonds
without government permission. In
