Not since the famous Hayward
case of half century ago has the
state been stirred with any criminal
action such as the one just closed
at Minneapolis wherein Frederick
T. Price was found guilty of MUIR
dering his wife, Mae Fridley Price,
by throwing her over a cliff on
November %, 1914. Anyone who
has followed the trial for the past
two weeks feels that the verdict
of guilty was just one and the
only peculiar thing about the
verdict is that it took the jury so
long to agree upon the case.
Price himself was the best witness
against himself. His own testi
mony convicted him. He had
woven such a palpably false story
about the affair that the threads
failed to Intervene and the verdict
was the result. His testimony
was a confession in fact. Avarice
was the dominating influence in
this case as it also was in the
Hayward case and in each an &C
complete was forced to give aid
against his will through the domin-
ating mental superiority of the
principal. The case has been
watched with interest in all the
range towns where the victim was
we'll known she having been en-
ployed as teacher in the schools
of this city and Eveleth. The jury
reached a verdict that is approved
by public opinion.

Notwithstanding the fact that
there are skeptics among the min
ing men regarding the finding of
manganiferous ores on this range
and also the Mesaba range, Skill
ling's Mining and Market Letter
has the following to say regarding
the product:
Coates and Tweed shipped the
first manganiferous ore from Min
nesota, from the Mayas mine, on
the eastern Mesaba range, in 1906
and 1907. They forwarded alto
gether 80, 900 tons of manganiferous
ore, averaging per cent mangan-
csc and So per cent iron, and rum
ming very low in phos. The
Mayas was developed as an iron
mine. but there was a large pocket
of manganiferous ore developed.
The ore was purchased by the
Pennsylvania Steel company.
The Elba mine. Pickands-M ather
property, produced a substantial
shipment of manganiferous ore,
several thousand tons, which ran
rs per cent manganese. The
Biwabik, Tod Stambaugh mine,
and one or two other Mesaba iron
properties, have at times produced
manganiferous ores. ;"

This is to be the centennial year
of the savings bank. We shall
hear much of the savings bank,
what it is and what it does, and
much of thrift, which is the founda-
ton on which it is built.
1t is but fitting that an institu-
ton which has survived century
should celebrate, for it has become
an essential part of our everyday
life, and whether we know it or
not, we could not very well get
along without it. 1t is proposed to
tell you in this series (Which will
run throughout the year, some
Thing about the practical side of
the bank, what it does for the in
dividual, the community and the
nation. You may think that when
you hand in your money, and get
a bank book in return, that the
matter is ended, but the wheels
have just begun to move and they
grind a grist which benefits you
and the community more than you
may know.
To single out the savings bank
for special attention would be a
very worthy institution, but would
do an injustice to other banks,
many of which perform, in a GER
tain sense, the same functions for
the individual and serve the COM
munity just as effectively as does
the savings bank, although it may
be in a different way.
As a broad proposition bank is
a bank, in that it performs certain
definite functions irrespective of
its character, whether savings
bank, bank of discount or trust
company, which functions are: (a)
to receive deposits; CD to make
loans, and (c) to issue bank notes,
the latter being confined to the
national banks and Federal reserve

banks.
1t is we'll at the beginning of this
series to make distinction. When
you open account with bank
of discount in the checking depart
ment you create a different relation
ship than when you open account
in the savings department. When
you open checking account you
say in the eyes of the law: This
money is mine. 1 deposit it with
you-it is now yours. l accept a
credit on your books and you are
my debtor. I shall expect my
money on demand by drawing
checks on you." But when you
open savings account you say:
4 am willing to enter into a
special contract with you. 1 will
accept the pass book you give me
as evidence of my deposit with you
and agree to be bound by the rules
and regulations found therein.
will not draw checks on you, but
will present the book at every
withdrawal, and l also agree tc
give you notice of withdrawal
should you require it as necessary
measure of protection.
In a mutual savings bank you &C
bit further and say: Take this
money and invest it for me. YOU
are my trustees to do this. The
law tells you what securities you
may purchase and I expect you tc
obey the law. Pay your expenses
establish a surplus or guaranty
fund to save me from losses by
reason of depreciation of securities
or otherwise, and pay me the bal.
ance as interest. 1t is my bank
you simply run it for me-" You
will see by this process that you
become a partner in the savings
bank and a creditor in the other.

ALL of northern Minnesota
should be interested and no doubt
will be in the Jefferson highway
and the loop which is proposed to
connect it with the Iron Ranges
country. Completed it would
make one of the finest scenic high
ways in the west. The Jefferson
highway as outlined will traverse
Itasca state park, the Rainy River
region and a large portion of CEN
trail northern Minnesota which IS
among the most beautiful bits of
out of doors in the west. The
proposed extension to it from this
section will add to it the Mesaba
and Vermilion Range country and
the Head of the Lakes region.
Altogether completed it would be
one of the finest scenic highways
in the country and without ques-
ton one of the most attractive in
Minnesota. The Itasca state park
country is one of Natures beauty
spots. 1t is not more attractive,
however, as such than is the Rainy
river country. There is no more
interesting section of the state
to summer tourists than is the iron
country. The International high
way would touch the head of Lake
Vermilion near Cook. From there
too is an excellent road to the Yer
million range and another which
reaches the Mesaba range at two
points. The iron country is al
ways interesting but especially
so in summer months, when it is
one of the busiest industrial sec
tions of the west. Interest in the
construction of the 20 miles of road
necessary to connect the Interna-
tional highway with the proposed
Jefferson highway should properly
come first from this section and
International Falls. The border
city road enthusiasts have shown a
disposition to cooperate on this
matter which should be encouraged.
However, this highway has a more
practical worth than as a scenic
road. 1t would be an aid to the
development of large section of
country between the Ranges and
the border, which is in need of just
such an agency. The towns inter
ested should begin taking an active
interest in this road. Its compile
ton will mean much to all this
country. Virginia Enterprise.

WASTE baskets full of glowing
notices are received daily by the
country newspaper extolling this,
that or the other candidate who
has seen fit to get himself into the
ring for political honors, with the
request that they be published.
Some go even so far as to send in
a cut of themselves to be used
with the dope. A careful scrutiny
of the enclosures however fail to
show any checks for the stuff.
Hence there is a noticeable reluc-
lance on the part of the press to
eulogize very strongly on the
merits of the respective candidates.
