MINNESOTA IRON ORES
FACING A NEW EPOCH
st. Louis Iron Master Plans to Barge Guyana Range
Ores Down the Mississippi River
From st. Paul.

The Twin Cities believe that
they will be headquarters for a
new epoch in the Minnesota iron
industry. The cause Of this, it is
believed, will be the water trans
port Of Minnesota iron ore down
the Mississippi river to St. Louis.
Plans for ore docks to be con-
structed along the river below In
Indian Mounds park, at st. Paul,
were approved some weeks ago
by II. E. Stevens, chief engineer
Of the Northern Pacific, and Will
liam Magivny, president Of the
St. Paul Bridge and Terminal
Railway Company. Chief engineer
Claussen also was consulted in
the matter.
The plan provides for railway
shipments of ore from the Guyana
range and even other ranges
and then it's transfer to barges
for transport to the Missouri me-
tropolis.
Minneapolis expects, eventual
ly, to get the greatest benefit since
it is in the Flour City that the
Northern Pacific Railway has
high bluffs where it crosses the

that the second coming of a boom
is close at hand.
incidentally, Duluth is getting
rid of a lot of guzzlers, street
walkers, loafers and useless citi-
zens. The old own is jogging
along nicely and, aside from few
temporarily vacant store rooms,
no decrease in trade over last
week can be noticed. Grocers
and clothiers very likely soon will
report increased trade and big
boom in savings accounts proba-
bly, will be experienced.

river, thereby affording ma.
tural elevation of 80 feet above
the water for dropping the ore
from cars to receiving docks and
then from the docks to the
barges. .--
E. F. Goltra, president Of the
Mississippi Valley Iron Company,
of st. Louis, has been in the Twin
Cities and expresses great conf
dence in the practicability Of the
plan, both physically and COM
mercially.
Carl Zapffe of Brainerd, geolo-
gist for the Northern Pacific Rail
way Co. on the Guyana range,
takes the plan seriously, consid-
ers it feasible and believes that
the railroads and the iron mas
ters are serious in the undertak-
ing. >.
Mr.. Goltra is represented as be-
ing an influential man in the
steel industry Of st. Louis and,
for use this year, has secured "a

ity, from the U. S. government.

against his ertswhile chief dep
uty.
The year 1894 was a great one
for political medicine-making. The
Old Guard, comprising such men
as Joseph Sellwood, o. D. Kinney,
Geo. w. Buck, H. G.. Kendall, and
others, were sorely buffeted by a
younger and more vigorous gen.
Grafton. AS a result, Charles A
Towne won out hugely for the
congressional nomination. The
county convention went the SAME
way. AS a result, the famous
Getty-Willcuts machine began
business in St. Louis county.
In the county convention, John
Owen won out for clerk of the
district court. George E. Arbury
was successful for the nomination
as county attorney. P. j.. Borg
.strom won the prize Of register of
deeds. Wv. Butehart secured
the nomination for sheriff. Odin
Halden saw Geo. N. LaVaque 20
down in defeat and his old bcne-
factors mantle fall on his own
shoulders. Incidentally, all the
nominees Of that convention were
elected.

The Campaign for County Option Now Is on and
the People Will Vote on The Question
Sept. 10.

VIRGINIA, Mimi, July 6-The
campaign for a dry St. Louis
county is on. Headquarters have
been opened in the First National
Bank building, this city, with
iSenator Richard Jones of Duluth
as campaign manager, and A. R.
Hill, Of Hibbing, as secretary to
the committee.
Arrangements for an aggressive
canvass for signatures are going
forward. Approximately seven
thousand names are necessary to
get the proposition ON the ballot
but it is expected many more than
this number will be filed with the
County Auditor when the petit
tions are handed in calling for an
election.
1t is planned to bring on the
election September 10. The CON-
mittee hopes to place a dry Or
ganization in every voting pre-
cinct in the county. The women,
also, will be enlisted in the fight
Tor a dry county. 1t has been
found that their influence has
been particularly effective against
the liquor interests in dry cam
paigns.
The workingmen will be thor
oughly canvassed. In recent cam
palgns in Duluth the working
mems organizations were espec-
