MARVELLOUS SPEED OF DOGS
oreyhounds' Travel as Swift az thG
Flight Of Carrier Piueons-Reeord
Of Eskimo Animals.

Few people realize OF what remark
able speed dogs are capable. Some
statistics in regard to this have been
gathered by NJ. Dusolier, a French
scientist. according to Our Dumb An
imals. After pointing out the mar
velous endurance shown by little fox
terriers, who follow their masters pa
tiently for hours, while the latter are
riding on bicycles or In carriages, he
says that even greater endurance is
shown by certain wild animals that
are akin to dogs. Thus, the wolf can
run between fifty and sixty miles in
one night, and an arctic fox can do
quite as well, If not better.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can traV-
ell forty-t1ve miles on the ice in five
hours, and there is a case on record
in which team of Eskimo dogs trav-
eled six and a half miles in twenty
eight minutes. According to M. Du-
solier, the speed of the shepherd dogs,
and those used on hunting ranges, is
from ten to fifteen yards a second.
English Settlers and pointers hunt at
the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles
an hour, and they can maintain this
speed for at least two hours. Fox
hounds are extraordinarily swift, as
is proved by the fact that a dog of
this breed once beat a thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in six and
half minutes, which was at the rate
of nearly eighteen yards a second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
four-footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that Of
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds
which are used for coursing, are able
to cover at full gallop, a space be-
tween eighteen and twenty-three yards
every second.

The story is the rock-bound founda-

fact has been repeatedly asserted by
all authoritative writer's on photoplay

thorities seemingly are just finding out
this fact. They treat common-sense
proposition as something strange and
something startling. Without a good
plot, good story, the motion-picture

Early oats may sometimes be sown
in the spots where winter wheat has

EVERY week the steel makers
advance prices until the latter are
now at record levels. Steel is
scarce and there's going to be a
big shortage of it despite the S.
10000 tons of iron ore we will
send down the lakes next summer
for the use of the steel manufac-
turers. Our iron ore miners have
contracted for all these million
tons of ore at a price about rs cents
in advance of that of last year
when only the best located for
cheap work could make profits.
The iron miner is getting altogether
the worst of it. He has to meet
the competition of the highly-paid
copper miner in seeking men to
go underground. and to lift his
payroll in all lines in order to
insure his working forces. He is
paying very much more explosives,
oils, fuel, timber, freights. and
for everything that enters into his
business than he did "a year ago,
and all of it must come out of this
Slight advance of IS cents per ton.
The steel end of the industry is
getting all the fat and the iron
miner all the lean. It's an unjust
distribution of the profits that are
resulting from the wonderful
volume of business, at very high
prices, now being received. There
should be a reimbursement of this
discrepancy that should give to the
miner his rightful share, which he
is not now getting, or coming any,
where near getting. Based on the
price of steel, iron ore should be
bringing double the price of a year
ago. The ore men made contracts
too early and were too anxious to
get into activity after the dull
period of the last two years.

In 10 states the voters will have
an opportunity to vote at direct
and semi direct primaries for dele
gates to the different national
conventions. In Minnesota the
presidential primary will be held
on Tuesday, March 18th. The
practicability of the law will be
then put to test. If it works we'll,
it will be continued. if it works
ill, no doubt it will be amended or
perhaps entirely repealed.
Considerable adverse criticism
has been directed against the law.
Efforts have been made to have it
declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. That court held
that it does not conflict with the
fundamental law. 1t is claimed by
some that it is unavoidable and
impracticable. We believe that
the law should be given a fair trial.
No election law, however good,
is self operative. The voters must
put it into operation.
Under the convention system
the delegates-at-larg were select

sections of the state were represent
