orders, Mexican telegraph wires were thrown open to German code messages. 1 personally carried orders from Carranza to Governor Gales to permit the spy, Wabirski to send code messages freely" Prominent Mexican officials are alleged
 by Dr. Altendorf to have been on the
 pay roll of the German embassy. He says:
 Mario Mendez, director of telegraphs received a salary of $500 month from Von Eckhardt. His brother, a senator with influence received the same salary. A third brother, who held position in the postoffice, also receive s600 a month for opening and reading private letters and passing the information along to the Germans"
 Dr. Altendorf states that he person. ally, late in November, 1917, carried a request from Governor Gales of Sonora to Rademacher the German consul at Guaymas, for $150,000 saw the money put in a bag and carried the bag accom- panied by Rademacher to Gales. Continuing, the statement says: T was able to discover that Won Eckhardt had guaranteed to Carranza an abundance of capital to turn Mexico 1 into industrial country. In fact Von Eckhardt went to Germany last April for the express purpose of if nancing German corporations and per- fecting other arrangements for build | ing great chemical plants. textile fac tories, tanneries and all the other in- dustries necessary to make Mexico in- dependent of the United States and Europe.
 TO BE GERMAN COLONY | "As soon as the treaty is ratified | there will be a Hegira of a quarter | of million Germans from the United l States who will take with them to
 Mexico $400.000,000 capital. There are already 150,000 Germans in Mexico and i German immigration on a large scale will soon turn the country into a Ger | man colony.
 The activity of Carranza in driving Americans out and confiscating their property is explained by the fact that Germans with plenty of money stand
 ready to pick up the property at bar gain rates. :
 "The full significance of all this be- | comes apparent when I tell you further than part of the German | scheme provides for great munitions | plants at Mexico City, which will make | it unnecessary for Mexico to import
 war materials in the future. The treaty | of peace restricts the manufacture oi munitions of war in Germany, but il doesn't say anything about German: manufacturing as large quantities as they please in Mexico. Thus there is
 no practical difficulty in the way ot
 Germany's plans for the next war. {" | German agents are active every. where in Latin America, and the news

 tensive German immigration to that

HENRY FORD
ON vERMILION
SAID TO HAVE SECURED CON-
troll OF NEBEWA COMPANY
LANDS AT TOWER.

Henry Ford of Detroit is seeking
an iron mine on the Vermilion range,
Says Skillings' Mining Review. The
announcement will occasion no sur
,rise, for two years ago he was known
to have started to put plans in ex-
ecution for acquiring iron properties
in the Lake Superior region, to sup
ply ore for furnaces which were to
be part of the plan of expansion of
the 4,'ord st.tomobile industry.
The Mcdonald Construction COM
pany of Minneapolis has an option on
the 800 acres of land in the mineral
belt on the Vermilion range, now
owned by the Nebewa Iron Company,
and better known locally as the Opel
lands. The Mining Review in Feb
ruary carried news item that a
Minneapolis man named Mcdonald
had taken an option Of the Opel
lands, and some special interest was
felt at that time because it was re-
ported that he represented Henry
Ford. But there was nothing except
surmise to go upon as to who Nc
Donald might represent beside him.

tive of the Mining Review was shown
letter written by one of the men in

pany, in which he stated that Henry
Ford had leased their iron lands. 1t
is understood, however, that the Ford
control is the usual option for lease
or purchase, pending results of ex-
ploration or development.

ORE PRICES
ESTABLISHED
SAME AS LAST YEAR LESS Zoe,
REDUCED LAKE RATE.

The prices of iron ore have been
formally fixed at the same basis as was
agreed upon by the industrial board
March 20, less 20 cents reduction in
the lake vessel rate, says the Mining
Review. This puts the prices of iron
ore on the following basis, gross ton,
delivered at lower lake ports:
Old range Bessemer, 55 per cent
iron, $6.45; Mesaba Bessemer, 55 per
cent iron, $500; old range non-Bes-
semer, 81 " per cent iron, $5.70; and
Mesaba non-Bessemer, 51h Iron,
$5.55.
The foregoing are base prices from
which calculations are made for the
general market for ore. Ore run
ming higher in natural iron than the
base requirement will command from
about IL to 13 cents per unit ad-
ditional, the former for nom essemer
and the latter for Bessemer ore.

present. So far as can be learned

FOREST SERVICE NOTES.

On Thursday, May LIST, Forest
Ranger of the Superior National
Forest caught Emil Erickson and
John Salsa, violating the State Fish
and Game law at Birch Lake. He
brought them to Ely with their equip
ment and lot of pike, about $50
pounds. They were arraigned be-
fore Municipal Judge Schaefer and
plead guilty to the charge. Erick-
on stated that he had served in the
army for eighteen months, was dis
charged about two months ago, and
was just scratching for living right
then. Salsa said he had taken out
his first papers. In consideration of
the circumstances, Judge Schaefer
fined them $500 each (the minimum
under the new law and the costs,
$500. All their equipment, a pack
sack, two nets, two spears, a canoe,
as well as the fish was confscated,
and became the property of the
state. The fish was distributed free
among civilians present at the trial.

OUR MOTHERS

Apropos of Mothers Day next
Sunday did you ever stop to think
that mother is about the only person
about the house who never gets a
real vacation? We hate to admit it
we men folk-but it is fact
nevertheless.
A husband will go on a vacation
just as sure as the season for va
cation comes, and no matter whether
business is fourishing or not. Per-
haps the fish are not actually calling
him-but he thinks they are. Daugh-
ter, too, packs her travelling bag
when she wants to and starts off for
some college mates home for few
days or weeks. Brother starts off
on an automobile tour or goes to
some river resort for a week or so.
But mother too often stays at home
and makes things comfortable and
happy for the members of the family
who happen to be there.
Does mother ask for a vacation
Of course not! Mother doesn't have
time to ask for one. She works from
sun to sun and longer. She sews fol-
daughter, mends for son, fixes up the

She gets daughters vacation clothe,
