NEED FOR MANGANESE.


Manganese is seriously needed today
in the manufacture of open hearth
steel. The man who has manganese
can sell it readily and profitably.
Ferro-manganese imports have de-
clined from an average Of 7,577 tons
monthly in 1916 to 2,717 tons in June,
1917. Domestic increase for the same
period runs from 1899 to 21,041 tons
per month. The average home pro-
duction for the first six month; Of 1917
was 1899 tons and the average i'm
ports was 4916.
At the close Of June, 1917, there
was total monthly tonnage Of less
than $4,000 tons, although the require
ments of the steel industry were $4,000
tons month.
The alloy committee of the Council
Of National Defense has warned steel
makers to adopt every possible means
for recovery of manganese by re-smelt-
ing of slags and substitution of spiegel-
eisen.
Metallurgically, there is no salts
factory substitute for the important
part manganese plays in steel making.
One solution Of the problem is the con-
version Of immense stores of mangan-
ferrous iron ores into low-carbon
manganese-iron alloy. Blast furnace
reduction is stated not to meet the
problem but the electric furnace may
do so.
For high grade manganese, this
country has depended on Russia, India
and Brazil. The South American coun-
try now is almost the only source of
supply

POSSIBLE NEW OIL FIELD.

Oil boomers are on edge over a
Washington dispatch to the effect that
signs Of. oil have been discovered on
the island Angel de Ia Guarda in the
Gulf of California. A rush to the
island is threatened.
An oil boom in Lower California,
one authority states, might bring such
wealth and power to recalcitrant
Governor Cantu that a crisis might be
precipitated between him and Presi-
dent Carranza. Even now, this COVER
nor maintains a semi-independent ad-
ministration Of Lower California.
Indications. Of oil not. only exist on
the island named but also for a con-
siderable distance along the precipitous
coast between the island of San Jose
and Point Conception, and also across

Some Of the canny sons Of cen
trail Europe can give native
schemers cards and spades and
then win out in little tricks that
help get the coin. Mayor Joseph
Airline Of Mckinley, kindly old
st. Louis county of Minnesota,
appears to be one such.
Mayor Joe owns building at
Mckinley in which there is a sa-
loon conducted by his brother-in-
law. This dear brother-in-law is
not only represented as an alien
enemy but a son of Austria who
is not yet of legal age. How can
he legally own and conduct a sa-
loon, to say nothing of being a
citizen, a native-born American
cannot clearly see.
People in Mckinley who know
the ropes are confident that, deep
down under the surface, Mayor
Joe owns the saloon. While he
ostensibly conducts a butcher
shop, where he dispenses beef
and bloody bones, he often helps
at the brother-in-law's bar dur
ing the rush hours and takes
rather more heed than one not

HYPOTHETICAL PASTOR
DESP0ILS HIS FLOCK
Rev. Henry A. Logan Langushes in Anoka Jail
After Flight With Ruth Merrill and
Arrest for Her Betrayal.

VIRGINIA, Mimi, Aug. 3d.
Especial to the Rip-saw)-Once
upon time, Rev. Henry A. Logan
was a minister of. the gospel in
this beautiful young city. Today
he is in Jail in Anoka, Mimi,
charged with the ruin of Miss
Ruth Merrill, an 1S-year-old mem
Der of his flock.
Brother Logan was noted in
Virginia for his marked ability in
playing on the emotions Of the sis
tiers in his charge. Many a hus-
band actually was jealous of his
pastor When the Lord called
him from this ore-bound city to
a pasture with better grass, tears
flowed freely among the sisters,
but many a brother deeply
breathed satisfaction and relief.
Rev. Henry A. Logan occupied
q Methodist Episcopal pulpit in
the Lake Harriet, Minneapolis,
church. He was at Walker, Mimi,
for awhile. Then he was "called"
to Anoka. There he headed the
Boy Scouts, became a member Of
the school board and preached a
doctrine bristling with orthodoxy
as stern, narrow and unyielding as
that Of any Puritan who fought
with Cromwell.
Brother Logan possessed wife,
an 18-year-old daughter with the
tuberculosis and a younger daugh-
ter. He also owned a piece Of
land near Barnum, in Carlton
county, had $1,000 in the bank
and drove his own Henry Ford.
It now transpires that the lech-
erous old hypocrite won the af-
fections of a 16-year old girl in
1916. Later, he effectively made
love to Miss Merrill, another eve
lamb in his flock, only Is years
old.
People in Anoka compared
notes and began to wake up. It
is stated a warrant was issued for

THE BOYS ARE BASTINC
OLD JOHN BARLEYC0RN
Brave Campaign for County Option Is Being Waged
on the Iron Ranges-Election Comes
Tuesday, Sept. 10.

VIRGINIA, Mimi, Aug. 81
Especial to the Rip-saw. For
several weeks the Dry County
Committee, under the manage
ment of Senator Richard Jones of
Duluth, has been waging a keen
but comparatively quiet campaign
to drive liquor from St. Louis
county, but it's efforts have not
been of a conspicuous public
character. For the next few days,
however, or until the election,
September 10, the long period Of
careful preparation will culmi-
nate in a continuous series of
meetings in all parts Of the range.
At Virginia, Hibbing and several
Of the larger cities daily meetings
will be held at which experienced
speakers will present the issues Of
the campaign clearly and drive
home to the voters both the Geo.
nomic and moral reasons for the
tremendous sentiment against the
saloon in all parts Of the United
States.
Among the more prominent Of
the speakers who have arranged
to lend their influence and voice
in favor of a dry county are Dis
trict Judge Martin Hughes of
Hibbing; Father Dunno, one Of
the most eloquent priests in the
country; T. j. Greer, president Of
the Louisiana Federation Of La
Dor; State Senator E. E. Lobeck
and G.. j. Hall of California. All

BLIND PIGS ARE RAIDED.
Agents Of the County Attor-
ney's Office Get Booze
Illegally Sold.

The big, warty, blind pig at
Cariboo lake went to sleep so
soundly that investigators from
the county attorneys office
caught it with Thoughtful of
booze a short time ago. Henry
Wendlandt, alleged owner Of the
pig was hailed into court and
bound over to await the action
of the grand jury under bonds
in the sum of 500.
Last spring, Kehtel, a Duluth
cigar dealer, was credited with
carrying the swill out to the
pig.
Gust Peterson is accused by
his old West End neighbors and
the farmers out around Boulder
lake with keeping a big blind
pig out there ever since the sa-
looms closed in Duluth. Peterson
resides. when in the city, at 1881
West Second St., and not at
West Duluth, as the daily papers
reported. He recently was ar
rested for illegal sale of liquor.

ST. CROIX CONSOLIDATED.

The st. Croix Mines Company,
fathered by Hanson E. Smith will be
absorbed by the st. Croix Consolidated
Mines, new corporation recently or
ganized with capitalization of $780,
900, divided into 100000 shares. Five
hundred thousand shares in the new
company will be exchanged for the
stock of the old company, or at the
rate of one share of the new for two
of the old.
Development work done at the ST..
Croix mine has made Mr.. EvSmith
highly confident that a big, paying
mine will be the final result. Already,
ore shipments haze abeen made from
time to time. Development work will
continue with proceeds from sale Of
100000 shares in the treasury. The
officers of the new corporation are:
President, M. J. O'Brien; vice.
president, A. D. Mcintyre; treasurer,
P. M. Pearce; secretary, William c..
O'Brien; directors, David Graham,
Walter Evered and Elmer o. Davie,

emit

of these will make addresses at
points to be announced later, and
in addition a large number Of
others will take part.
Another feature of the cam
paign that promises to be an i'm
portant factor is the surprising
interest being taken by the
women in all parts of the range
and, under the direction of Miss
Minnie Pertulla, a number of
meetings for women only will be
held at various points. Organiza-
tons of women Tor this purpose
are being rapidly perfected and
it is becoming increasingly evident
that even though women do not
yet have the vote, they will exer-
else a powerful influence in the
coming election.
In addition to these elements
the Dry County Committee has
been receiving splendid assistance
from a number of organizations
of labcring men and skilled
mechanics, who, familiar with the
harm the brewery and liquor in
terests have inflicted on them,
are forming Trade Union Dry
Leagues in the larger centers of
population. These leagues of
members of labor organizations
welded a most effective influence
in recent wet and dry elections
in Duluth, Michigan and other
places, and will make themselves
felt with increasing force in the
present campaign..

Miss House, principal of the
Woodland school, some time ago
was transferred from that posi-
ton to the principalship Of the
Duluth Heights school for the en-
suing year.
At the special meeting Of the
board of education a week ago
last night, a petition signed by
nearly $50 Of the patrons of the
school and taxpayers in that dis
trict, asked that the transfer be
reconsidered and that Miss House
be retained at the Woodland
school.
Miss House is represented as
having failed to please one family
in particular, at Woodland. That
family is represented as being
educated and cultured but a
somewhat chronic fault-finder in
school matters.
The Woodland school has been
used as a social center. It is
claimed that a goodly number Of
young men, in attending the So
cial functions, habitually came
with an excess Of liquor in their
systems and, also, had no better
manners than to blow cigarette
smoke over the company. Some
of them are said to have been
brewery workers. Miss House
asked for better manners under
penalty of being barred out.
Anger and dislike were the nat
ural results.
Some time ago, petition,
bearing 81 names, was presented
to the board, asking that Miss
House be removed from the
Woodland school. The teachers
committee recommended that the
petition be granted. The school
board so voted. Supt. Hoke as
signed Miss House to the Duluth
Heights school,.
When the champions of the
principal analysed the petition
and agitated matters, many sign
ers asked that their names be re-
moved with the result that most
of the remaining names were
those Of young and single men,
some Of them holding a grudge

Christ. Gustafson, alleged to
be a poor down and out fellow,
made a tool by the. Petersons,
also was arrested for having a
hand in the care of the Boulder
Lake grunter. Both Peterson
and Gustafson are under 500
bonds to await the action of the
grand jury,
Bert Gilbert, who conducts
Island Lake Inn, also is charged
with keeping blind pig. He
duly appeared, waived a hearing
and gave bonds in the sum of
500 for release pending action
by the dignified grand jury.

the old libertine after he had
shipped his long-suffering wife
and tubercular daughter to the
hospital at Walker. Then, seeing
that he was near the end of his
string, he drew his money out of
the bank, picked up the girl and
jumped the town, unseen and un-
known. .
When it was found that the old
rooster had flown with the poor
little pullet, deputy sheriff A. H.
Grove of Anoka took the trail and
finally overhauled the affinities at
Moose Lake, Mimi, where Rev.
Henry meekly surrendered.
The unfortunate girl in the case
stated that the amorous old prof
ligate had started to Toronto with
her in his Henry Ford. She fully
implicated her betrayer in a con-
fession and has been held as wit
ness by the state. The imitator of
Stanford White, in default of
Harry Thaw, is held firmly and
fast in the Anoka Jail where he
whiles along the days by playing
checkers with his nose and calling
on the Lord to help him out of the
hole.
Entirely too many men consider
young woman's honor of less
value and Importance than a bit
Of property. Husbands of the Vir-
ginia wives who wept when Rev.
Henry A. Logan left this fair city,
fear that any punishment inflicted
will fall short Of fitting the crime,
unless it can be shown that the
miscreant shepherd really is an [.
w. w. or, an American-born
Stacker.
If, however, a bunch of good
fellows decide to settle matters by
means of a bit of mob rule, these
Virginia husbands pray for an in
vitation to be present with plenty
Of rope and a goodly equipment of
butchers tools.

complained to the game wardens
and then came to Duluth to see
the county commissioners about
getting the $34 he thought the
kindly old county owed him for
working as cook at Lundgren s
place.
When Charley Simon appeared
before the county commissioners,
Col. McMahan stated that he
never knew Lundgren to act that
way, therefore rather doubted
Charley Simon's tale Of terror.
But commissioner McMahan s
words hardly were cold before a
report came that, when game war
den R. j. Kreiger, Of Duluth, ap-
peared at Lundgren's farm, the
aggressive road foreman, farmer
and poacher; resisted arrest and
fired at the deputy three times,
then escaped into the deep woods.
After three days off the reserva-
ton, Lundgren surrendered him.
self and was landed in jail at Vir-
ginia.
1t now looks as if Charley Simon
was working for Lundgren, per-
sonally, and was not a county
cook, therefore he is likely to have
a fierce time in getting his wages.
Gust Lundgren is not the first
road foreman in st. Louis county
to pull off some mighty peculiar
stunts. The citizens in the hinter
land are rapidly beginning to be-
lieve that a better example by the
officials in or near the auditors
office would do considerable to-
wards civilizing some of these

at st. Louis by E. F. Goltra, presi-
dent of the Mississippi Valley

The people at st. Paul and
along the river clear to st. Louis,
hope that this event opens a new
era on the Father of Waters. The

ing the use of rivers for transpor-
tation purposes. To that end, the

POLARIS MINING COMPANY,


A correspondent asks information
concerning the Polaris Mining Com
ing Company. This company has been
fathered by William A. Eaton and
the property is in the Kingman, Ari-
iona, territory, broadly speaking. Mr..
Eaton, as is natural, is confident that
a permanent, paying mine will be
developed.
Shaft work to a depth of 60 feet
showed strong vein with good val
ues. At present, mine men are en-
ployed in connection with the driving
of cross-cut tunnel about 200 feet
long which will cut the vein at depth
of nearly $50 feet. Funds to complete
that work are in the treasury. About
half the required length of the cross
cut has been attained.
The board of directors now embraces
nine men. At a recent meeting, e. R.
Ribenack, prominent business man
of Duluth, was elected director. j.
o. Davis, another director, was made
secretary.

If Gust Lundgren was trying to
follow the example of auditor
Halden and deputy auditor
Walker by having county en-
ployes work on his private pro-
perty, he made a failure Of the
attempt.
Lundgren is a bachelor farmer
near Ellsmere, a station on the
Canadian Northern railway, in
Ellsburg township. He also has
been road foreman up there for
commissioner McMahan.
Not having a patient, plodding
wife to dish up sowbelly and beans
to men working on the roads of
kindly old st. Louis county, Lund-
gren hired Charley Simon for a
cook. While Simon was cooking,
he not only found a barrel of
sailed venison, but he also noted
that Lundgren worked road en-
ployes on his barn instead of hav-
ing them single a kitchen, lay
hardwood floors and fix up a
porch, as deputy Walker might
have done. The thrifty Lundgren
also is charged with working
other men in his potato patch in
stead of having them shake rugs,
clean a furnace, spade up garden
ground, NOW a lawn, set out
shrubs or build picket fence,
as auditor Halden might have
done.
When Lundgren tried to make
Charley Simon wash his heavy,
dirty underwear, the cook baked.
He Informed the boss that he hired
out at $50 a month to cook, not to
be a washerwoman. When Lund-
gren insisted, Charley declared
that he would quit, and, also, tell
about the sailed venison and the
diverted county labor.
Lundgren is reported to have
exclaimed, with great violence:

harm will come to me if I kill

Is, 58-19, on the Mesaba range, trib-
utary to Virginia. This property has
been somewhat explored in the past.
Test pits on high ground bottomed in
taconite but one, nearer low ground,
showed several feet of ore. The pres
ent promoters are proceeding on the
assumption that a profitable body will
be found on low ground that has not
yet been tested. The capitalization of
this new company is $4,000. It Is
incorporated under the laws of the

Messrs. Fryberger, Sheridan and
