Combined Efforts VIII Win.
81 am reminded Of the fable of a
great drought when the crops were
wasting for the want of water, and
one little raindrop said to another in
the clouds, 4 would like to go down to
the relief of the farmer and his per-
ishing crops, but am so little it would
be useless And another little rain
drop replied, 1t would be useless for
you to go down alone, but let us all
go down and our combined effort will
bring the needed relief Teh advice
was accepted and a beautiful shower
poured down on the land and the
crops were saved for the harvest
"And so it is with the workers. The
funds each has available is but drop,
but all of the drops together can make

needed supplies, bring joy to the
hearts Of the boys at the front and

 The spirit of the country is demo cratic. The people vote their own im- provements and although considerable welfare work is done by the mining s companies the revenues of the towns are such that they are practically in- dependent.
 Notwithstanding it's percentage of for eigners, this mining region is perhars themost advanced in sanitary and civic conditions of all the mining regions q l the United States. I have visited the | copper mines gold and silver mines, coal mines and other mineral territory in diff ferent parts of the world, but nowhere have l ound l-eop. here. The ordinary gold mining region plays out within a few years. It springs up in a night and dies as soon as the pay streak plays out. At it's best it is made up of huts and shacks, and at the end it soon falls into ruins. This iron ore in- dustry will last for generations, and the mlners have it h 3l.

 This is especially so of the schools and other public buildings Every little town has it's high school and graded schools, built of brick and of artistic construction.

GOVERNMENT MAY ! LIFT RESTRICTION ON FOREIGN LOANS Allies Borrowing Money Want Right to Spend It
 Elsewhere Than in
 America

Washington, November 10-Re- moval of restrictions now placed by the American government on loans to allied governments to permit expen- allure in other countries than the United States, is one of the principal financial subjects being discussed with allied governments by Oscar T. Cros- by. the treasury's representative on the American war mission now i'll Eu- rope.
 A strong suggestion has come from abroad, it is said, that the Washing ton government should not insist that practically all it's credits to allies be used in purchases here. but that the spending of the money should be most economically placed. American officials in the past have expressed their will ingness to give the largest possible measure of cooperation for success of the war, and it is believed the gov- suggestions for more economical pool ing automatically of resources.
 The ease of Italy is cited particu- larly in this connection. Italy, it is said, is making big purchases in the United States under the necessity of spending American loans here, all though supplies might be bought in India, Australia, or even South Amer lea, and the ocean haul would be shorter
 MT. Crosby expects to stay in Eu- rope indefinitely to study these ques- tions, it was reported today. He may remain until the end of the war and visit each of the allied countries

 IL is impossible to picture the activi ty now going on in the iron regions about Lake Superior. We are just al the close of the open season, and all summer long these mining soldiers have been getting out ore as never be- fore. The output last year was more than 66000 900 tons and this has been largely increased since we have ac- lively entered upon our war in Eu rope. There has been one continuous succession of ore trains moving from the Mesabi, and other ranges down the mountains to the ports, and the num- dreds of great ore steamers have had the fires blazing away under their boilers ever since they ploughed their way through the ice for their first car goes last spring The mine operators are now preparing to carry on some open pit work during the winter They will strip the earth for new deposits, and the underground mining, which usually supplies about one third of the output, will be pushed to the full In this the miners will do all in their power They are full of patriotic en- thusiasm and that although many of them came from the nations with whom we are fighting.
 According to recent statistics made by the Oliver Iron Mining company, nine~tenths of all it's employees on the Mesabi range are Europeans. Fifty-six per cent are Austrians, a little more than il per cent are Italians and 14 per cent are from Finland. The same proportion probably obtains in the mines of the other companies. At the beginning of the war it was feared that a large number of these foreign laborers would go back to Europe to join their colors but time has shown that they prefer to remain here, and they are now working to supply the ma terials for the American armies.
 As to the Austrians, the most of them are out of sympathy with the ac. tion of their country in joining the Germans, and they, as well as the oth- CT foreigners, show strong spirit of Americanism. The region has fur nished many recruits for the army. It has taken more than it's quota of lib- erty bonds, and has subscribed liberal ly to the Red Cross. The companies have given the lands and ploughed them for their people, and both wom- en and men have been cultivating gar-

ing country which had roads so good as those of these Minnesota mountains. This whole section has been cut up by highways, many of which are macadam- ized and covered with oil dressing. You can ride for hundreds of miles through the iron regions of Lake Superior over roads as smooth as q floor, and that, not withstanding, they go uphill and down all the way. The waste ore furnishes much of the material for making the roads. This is smooth and hard in fine weather, but it takes on a paint-llke film when it rains. The permanent roads have q surface of gravel or macadam, , and they alc now sa
 driveway 80 miles long, from Htbbing to Duluth. There is one county, St. Louis, which spends S600,000 a year upon its pub lie highways, and the town of Hibbing has appropriated Sl1S,oDO for road lin- provement. These public roads make the whole iron range one community. Auto mobiles are common and the people think nothing of going back and forth 20 or 90
 miles to a dance or civic meeting.

In fact 1t is so bright at night that the chickens can not sleep. man in Hibbing recently tried to raise hens but the light was so brilliant that he had to shut them up II a dark room as soon as the light went on to get them to lay in the day time.
 Most of the towns have public libraries and municipal parks. They have tennis courts and bowling alleys. There are banks, hotels and stores everywhere and of late almost no saloons. great part of the region is bone dry. and some of 1t has been so for a long time. One section of the Mesab range secured it's land through an old Indian treaty which pro vided that no liquor should be sold with in the reservation limits. This regula- ton has now been revived, and under it no liquor can be sold in the greater part of the mining regions of Minnesota. It has wiped out the saloons of Hibbing and learn that it has greatly improved SO cial and business conditions. I asked one of the citizens about this. He replied:
 "We are far better off than in tho past. Our labor is more steady, the peo- pie are more orderly, the stores are do- ing more business, and there has been a great increase in the bank savings and Il the bank deposits

range more than 5,000.0lO tons. All of theso ranges lie in Minnesota and they are among the largest producers of the world today. It Is claimed by the ex- pert geologists that this state has something like f5oo,o0o,ooO tons of orc yet in sight. which is no-e fhav es-~a and one-half times the amount that has already been mined.
 In addition to the Minnesota deposits arc the iron ore bodies of Wiscus and Michigan. on the south side Of the lake. These were the first to be op- erated. and In 1915 they were still pro dpcing more than 13.05o0o0 tons. Tszo first iron ore about Lake Superior was discovered just about 72 years ago. The man who found it was PhiIo Everett, who had come from Jackson, Mich. to prospect the southern shores of the lake. He had fallen in with a couple of Indians, who offered to guide him to q mountain of iron. They tr3~eied six weeks when the Indians pointed to black hill in the distance, saying that that was the mountain, but that they dared not go near 1t for fear of the evil spirits they believed always hovered about it. Philo Everett continued the journey and found a mountain f5O feet high, composed of solid ore wh'ah looked as bright as bar of iron just broken. He had seven permits from the Secretary of War. each enttlng him to lay a claim to one square mile Of min ing land. He located his claims, and with his pockets full of nuggets. made his way back to his home. Shortly after that Marquette was founded as ship ping port for that ore field, and within a half century the iron that came from it brought twice as much was paid for all the gold of California. Later on the Gogebc and Menominee ranges were discovered and these, together with the Marquette range, have already yielded more than 3S, ,000.O00 tons of ore, which at the present prices would be worth upward of s2000, ,000,0O0.

Virginia. NIinn. fNNJR war in Europe depends not W only upon the men behind the
 guns, but also upon the men behind the men behind the guns. The latter class includes our mighty in dustrial army on this side the ocean.
 It includes the men who are working the farms, factories and machine shops, and last but not least, those
 who are working the mines. It is of
 one division of our mining soldiers that l am writing today. It is of the
 men who are getting out iron ore here in northern Minnesota. There are more than 20,000 of them in this district ascne aud they are furnishing the raw material for the steel that makes the guns the soldiers carry, the proiectiles which are thrown into the trenches and the mighty tanks which, like care of Jugsernaut, crush to death everything in their way.
 From here comes the material for our battleships, our airplanes and all of the various kinds of motor trans portation. These soldiers are now dig glng out the ore for the steel rails of the new roads of France and Belgium and for the locomotives which will run upon them. They are preparing the way net cnly for the defeat of our enemies, but for the rehabilitation of the far lands and peoples which they have so wantonly laid waste.
 
 The mining army is now under the direct command of Uncle sam and t is as live Q factor in the situation of to- day as the soldiers we are training to send to the front. It is thoroughly or ganized. Every mine is surrounded by guards and the danger points have fed cral soldiers to aid the local police. The ore ports of Lake Superior de- 1rand credentials and passes from ev- eiyone who comes near the docks, and the waterways from here to the steel plants are protected by the United States and Canadian armies. This is especially noticeable at the Soo, where there are camps along the canals on both sides of the boundary, and at the unloading docks and steel plants in the great cities of the lower lakes. It is also in evidence at the open pit mines and ore piles where they are taking out iron, and I have hardly been able to pick up a piece of Minnesota

many. invested in the mines; and in 1883 the first important shipment of ore from Minnesota to Cleveland was made. This amounted to 62,0o0 tons. and 1t was the father of the millions of tons which have gone down to the ports Of Lake Erie this year.
 The first miiionaires of this part Of the world made their money out of lumber. Among them was Mir. Weyerhauser, who might be called the John l.. Rockefeller of the lumber industry of the great northwest. He had bought the timber from large part of the Mesabi range and had paid more than million and a half dollars for fl. He was offered the land as well, the whole tract being priced to him at $10o,O00 He refused it. notwithstanding his surveyors bad told hir' how the needles of their compasses indicated the presence of iron there. since then the ore from that hundred thousand-dollar tract has already yielded more than half a billion dollars and the values still in the ground are ten times as great. Had Weyerhauser bought he tract. his estate might now be the rich est of the world.
 1t was two lumbermen who first dis closed the enormous value of the Mesabi iron range These were the Merritt brothers. who, as the story gees, found ore in the roots of a fallen tree which had ripped up the earth around it. They set crew of men to digging and the result was the mountoin iron mine. which now belongs to the steel trust, and is operated by the Oliver Iron Min ing company. It has produced many million tons of ore and it's output has amounted to tens of millions of dollars. The Merritts also discovered the Biwabic mine which commenced shipping ore about 9 years ago. It also has prch duced vast quantities of ore, and its output In 1915 was mora than ,000 tonr. The total ore product of the Mesabi range up to the present has been con- siderably over 400,Ooo,0oO tons; that of the Vermillion range has exceeded 4O- ooo0oo tons and that of the Cayunai
