and waiting for entirely different par
ties. When the amorous couple came
to the automobile to start home, they
were in hot quarrel. Bill got over
heated and forgot that gentleman
never should strike lady. He blacked
Madam Tenders eye, beat her up 9th
erwise and even put a great big black
and blue spot on her fair shoulder.
Madam Tender was not one to be
trodden under foot, like worm. She
came back, good and strong. Picking
up rock, she heaved it at old Bills
head with such force and effect as to
break the Windshield and the glass in
the rear curtain Of his automobile. but
missing his sinful head.
Madam Tender then refused 70 ride
back to Duluth with Bill Parker. She
called q taxicab from the City Of vir-
tue and rode homo in that, feeling
grand, gloomy and well bruised up.
A few days later, Bill played the
short sport by trying to make Madam
Tender pay for the broken windshield,
but she contemporary refused.
After Madam Tender got home, all
bruised and black from Bill Parker s
unmanly blows, she found that her hus.

years and who came to Duluth to take
her resnonsible position some months

Sill is assisted in the office work by
Miss Gonska and Mrs. Small.
Incidentally, as matter Of history
and not one of criticism, the Rip-saw
can say that Miss Sill's employmen,
caused great disappointment to several
prominent and popular young women

Miss Theresa Wensted, who worked

Diamond Drilling for the FL
brous Mineral Is in Prog
ress Near Cook, MINI.

Messrs. Cole & Mcdonald recently
took carload of diamond drilling ma.
chinery to one Of Isaac Goodwill e
farms, nine miles west Of Cook, on the
Meadowbrook road in the town Of
Linden, Itasca county.
Some years ago, when drilling TO,
iron on that farm, samples Of asbestos
were brought up. The war broke out
soon afterwards which caused q lapse
in interest as well as made it hard to
secure capital for serious exploration
work. Eastern capital has been inter
ested and extensive, scientific pros
pecting will be done by diamond drill
ing.
There have been number Of in
stances where an asbestos bearing for.
nation has been discovered tributary
to Cook. When the well for the Little
fork creamery was drilled, asbestos
samples were revealed. Another show
ing was discovered. at Togo, in Itasca
county.
The Canadian asbestos is far supe'
rior to any yet found in the United
States, owing to superior length and
strength Of the fiber. But even the
inferior quality is valuable and in de-
mand for different uses.
Asbestos, although a fibrous mate
rial, even capable Of being woven and
spun, really is a mineral, flexible
fibrous product Of nature able to resist
the highest Of temperatures and fa'
nous non-conductor. of heat. A plenti'
full supply Of even an inferior quality
Of asbestos would mean much in an
industrial way to Cook and vicinity.

also was some talk Of establishing q

enemy countries held back until France can get a head start. More over, France wants the gold of the enemy countries. asking the other allies to extend credit to Germany or take paper in payment.
 Perhaps a compromise may be made with France. That country may be induced to assent to the lift | ing of the economic barriers at once on condition that countries such as the United States do not insist that Germany pay for purchases in gold bu take payment in other forms.
 Creditors of Germany under any thing like present conditions certain ly would be taking a chance, for while German firms might have the best intentions with regard to pay ment for purchases, how far does their ability extend? One must take into consideration the precarious condition of banks and of all indus tries in Germany and the tremend- ous war obligations the German gov ernment and German people must meet. Moreover, who are the Ger man firms? To what extent have
 they been submerged by irresponsi-
 ble Bolshevists?
 But there is little daubt that these
 questions can be answered and satis,
 factory terms of payment for copper arranged if the way can be cleared for deliveries. That is the main point. Copper is stocked up in the
 United States and a drag on the L market. Stoppage of the moveme

 cessation of war, has reacted on the southwest.

MT. Kelly returns, filled with opti- mism. He knows that the central empires are stripped of copper. Every copper wire, every copper kettle, statue and candlestick has disappear ed. All went into the melting pot during the war and emerged as war materials. Resumption of indus tries in Germany, Austria. Hungary, Turkey and, to some extent, in Bull garia, means that vast tonnages of copper must be secured.
 In the allied countries, the govern ments have large stocks of copper but non-government enterprises have not. They have been unable to get any for a long time. It is expected
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1919-04-04

that the British and French govern ments soon will release to civilian uses at least a part of their copper stocks, but these will hardly begin to meet the demand The nuetrals are not as well off as the allied countries. They have been unable to buy copper and they have been selling for export such stocks as they had on hand and possibly could spare. Despite all efforts at restric- tion, it is generally understood that the neutrals contiguous to Germany were unable to prevent considerable supplies of copper going to the neu- tral empires. The allies secured from neutrals as much copper as they could. The result is that the neutrals are wanting copper and doubtless are ready to buy at the first opportunity.
 MT. Kelly reports that resumption of business in belligerent countries of Europe is being much impeded by la Dor difficulties and the problems of transforming industrial plants and the transport system from a war to a peace basis but a satisfactory solu. tion of these problems is expected in a short time. This bears directly
 
 eign firms are in condition to handle copper they will begin crying for it Trade restrictions in allied and neu tTal countries and the continuance oi the embargo against enemy countries are detriments both to the resump tion of normal business and also t( the movement of copper. /
 Pressure is now being eXertd by the American delegation at the peace confluence to remove these artificial barriers in order to allow free mov' ment of raw materials such as coppe and cotton in order to give Europeal plants something with which to worl and some incentive for increasin their labor forces. This is being urs ed both as an economic and politica necessity. The world needs manu factured goods. The factories nee, raw materials. Millions of workme need employment.

 The fact is, the companies are loaded up with metal. Their money is tied up in it and they cannot af- ford otie up much more
 The significance of the statement of MT. Kelly is that an active foreign market awaits the first opportunity to get copper. If the bars can be let down-and they probably will be soon-copper will begin moving fast Just as soon as the operators see copper flowing strongly into the chan nels of trade, the industry will get back on it's feet with rush. The thousands of men who have beer made idle by the congestion of the market will again go on the job anG the southwest's greatest industry vii go roaring along in it's best style.

The most encouraging word the southwest has received for many a long day comes in the prediction of president c. F.

The Currans Musical company drew large audience at the Princess last Friday evening and it is to be regretted that Clifton is so far away from the main line railroad that it is almost impossible for big road shows to come here, the expenses being so great that the management of the local play house would have to charge the top prices of $1.50 to $2 for admission to break even on their guarantee to these road shows.

MILITARY TRAFFIC IN SIX MONTHS .4,276,949 TROOPS

Washington. July 16.---The railroads of the United States hauled 4,2T5, 949 troops on special and regular trains for a naverage of 660 miles each in the first six months of 1919, according to statistics made public today by Di- rector General Hines. In addition, probably two million officers and men made railway trips while on furlough and another million were transported from camps to their homes after dis charge, making a total of 7,25O, 900 mill itary passengers accommodated in ad- dition to the usual civilian travel.
 The military traffic in six months required nine million train miles and as much of the equipment had to be sent empty in one direction, this fiAr ure should be doubled to express th : aggregate transportation demand by the military forces.

POLES.

Lulu Coates and her Cracker-Jacks the latter three black dots who can dance like time---have registered Q distinct hit at Polfs, where they are featured in a stellar program of vaudeville. Miss Coates is an able entertainer and is assisted in a happy way by her diminutive dancing as sistants.
 One of the best novelty offerings seen here in a. long while is "A Book of Vaudeville" presented by Sylvia. Jason and William Haig. Miss Jason is well known to vaudeville lovers and MT. Haig was formerly with Christie Macdonald. They have q very clever vaudeville conceit that suits their tal- ents in every way.
 Lchr. Edmonds & Marr, "The Boys from Over There" get along very nicely with their army stories and songs; and "The Girl from Milwau- kee," with an excellent song reper- toire finds many friends. An Ath- lete's Lesson." by the Faber Bros, completes the bill.
 The nhotoplay program is very good. D. w. Griffith presents as the healthier True Heart Susie" featur- ing Lillian Gish, Robert Harron. George Fawcett, Kate Bruce and other favorites. Fatty Arbuckle in "A Desert Hero" provoles a lot of laughts. and the Pathe News is as in- teresiug as always.

PLAZA.

The breath of the North woods and the sting of the snows are in The Blinding Trail,'' the drama of out door life with its tremendous con- hicts of passion. which brings Mon roe Salisbury to the Plaza theatre the last half of this week, in what is declared to be his most vital role of his career.
 The Blinding Trail'' is the story of a great souled man who, blinded in rescuing the daughter of his mil lionaire lumberman employe in a toboggan acciderft. is inveisled into marrying her. She is q superficial creature of the cities who finds in Salisbury her hero. But her cousin Adele sees in the big lumberman something greater, for she has the qualities that were meant to mate with his. How the problem of this triangle is worked out forms the dra- mauc entity of the play which reaches a terrific climax in a battle between the blind Mckenzie and the man who has won the unstable affec- ton of his wife.
 Paul Powell who made "Who Will Marry Me-" directed this picture. in which Arthur Maude, Alfred Allen and Johnnie Cooke have prominent roles. A good vaudeville has also been booked for the last half of this week.
