That the next quota for the ma
tional army may not leave for
Camp Dodge on October 3 as an
ticipated is the opinion Of DR.. j.
j. Ecklund chairman of the
Federal board. He says that it
will be impossible for his board
to certify the quota desired in
time for entrainment on that date
if the board worked night and
day.
The struggling work left by the
departure Of the first quota will
not be cleaned up in that time
besides attorneys in the many dis
tricts have not certified the names
of the deserters. These will have
to be checked up so that the work
of apprehending them can go on
before the new lists are certified.
The board is away ahead of an
office full of clerks completing the
records of last weeks departures.
The local board of District No.
3 comprising the communities of
the Vermilion range have their
work competed and will be en-
abled to send out the next quota
on short notice. Several claims
have not as yet been acted on
by the Federal exemption board
but it is expected that these will
be out Of the way by the first of
October.
The Ely district has no deser-
tiers. All have answered the sum
mons. While three names, were
short at roll call the men have
since put in an appearance and
the matter has been squared up.
There are a few who failed to
respond to the orders for exami-
nation and these have been certi-
fed to the Federal authorities.

LOW GRADE, ORES
Government 10 Make Tests Of
Low Grade Ores.

Officials of companies operat-
ing iron ore mines in the Lake
Superior country will soon turn
their attention to the develop
ment of low grade properties, as
the time is not far distant when
low grade ores will be in better
demand than they have ever been
before. Federal officials recently
announced that new experiment
stations are to be established to
try and find methods Of conserv-
ing the ore supply Of the Lake
Superior district.
The Oliver Iron Mining COM
pany is one of the few companies
operating in this district that has
been successfully using the low
grade ores. This has been made
possible by it's washing process,
introduced some years ago on the
Mesaba range. The company
spent nearly 100000 in expert
ments before the desired results
were obtained at Coleraine, and it
is still spending money to i'm
prove the methods. The process
has been a complete success in the
Western Mesaba district. A
large part of the low grade ore
produced there is used by mixing
it with higher grades.
Dwight E. Woodbridge, a well
known mining man of Duluth,
and his associates, are now ex-
perimenting on a method, which,
if successful, will take the lean
ores from the dump piles, making
another step in conservation pro-
gress.
The Oliver company's officials
have for years been seeking the
best methods of using the lean
and low grade ores. 1t is be-
lieved that the near future will
bring some greatly improved
methods for utilizing the low
grade products.
The adoption of successful
means of treating and washing
the lean ores means an extended
life for the mining industry in the
Lake Superior region. If moth
ing but the high grade ores could
be used the mines, it has been
stated, would be depleted in
thirty years.

formation, the entire population
of the city and Winton were on
the street and marched to the
station. The band played patrio
tic airs, and the whistles blew and
bells rang continuously. Mothers,
fathers, sisters and brothers
marched with the departing sold
iers. The streets were black with
people and the parade had a hard
time worming it's way through
the crowds.
At the head Of the procession
the colors were carried by Cor
poral A. w. TAFT of the Home
Guards with Privates Knutson
and BONNER as color escorts.
Then came the City Band after
which walked the members of
the Draft board of the district,

RosebloOm. Following these
ninety members of the Guards
with guns and without acting as
an escort to the drafted men who
followed. Members of the fire de-
partment arl citizens brought up
the rear.
The scene at the station when
the last farewells were said can
not be- described in words. The
stoutest men shed tears as they
gripped the hands of the depart
ing men. Dry eyes were a rarity
and Good-by and Good Luck"
was the parting. These were not
idle words but the outpourings
OF the hearts Of those uttering
them. Many could not say any
thing and only gripped the hands
IN fond farewell knowing that to
attempt speech would precipitate
break down. 1t was indeed a
sad spectacle and the seriousness
was all the more brought home
when the train pulled out and the
boys waved goodbye from the
car windows.
At Tower the train was met by
the band and the citizens of that
city. All along the line the
train was greeted with cheering
crowds. At Two Harbors an
other ovation was rendered the
boys. On arrival at Duluth the
party was met by members of

they arrived that evening at 5
o'clock. Here another demon
stration greeted them and it is
estimated that $4,000 people were
at the station TO bid farewell to
the st. Paul contingent and to
greet those from other localities
passing through. Here dinner
was served.
The boys arrived at Camp

morning for breakfast. All were

having been compelled to sit in

had been provided. Over 1000
