MY AUTO IT'S OF THEE.

My auto it's of thee short road to
of thee I chat. l blew a
pile of dough, on you three years ago !;
now you refuse to go, or won't or
can't. Through town and country
side yau were my JOY and pride, a
happy day. l loved the gaudy hue,
the nice white tires new, but you're
down and out for true, in every way.
To thee, old rattle-box, came many
bumps and knocks, for thee l grieve.
Badly the top is torn, frayed are the
seats and worn; the whooping cough
affects thy horn, L do believe. Thy
perfume swells the breeze, while
good folks choke and wheeze as we
pass by. / paid for thee a price,
'twould buy mansion twice, now
everybody's yelling "ice"-I wonder
why? Thy motor has the grip, the
spark plug has the pip and woe is
thine. /, too, have suffered chills,
fatigue and kindred ills, endeavoring
to pay my bills, since thou were
mine. Gone is my bank roll now,
no more 'twould choke the cow as
once before. Yet, if I had the mon,
so help me John-amen, I'd buy a
car again and speed some more.--Au-

THE RIGHT IDEA

Recognizing the necessity of strin-
gent rules governing the road on the
part of motorists and especially af-
ter the hard surfaced roads are built,
the grand jury which was in session
in Virginia last week, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions which seem to be
a thought in the right direction:
Whereas it has come to the at
tention of this grand jury that a
large number of motor vehicles are
driven on the roads throughout St.
Louis county in a reckless, negligent
and careless manner and that persons
in charge of said motor vehicles often
drive the same to the left of the GEN.
ter of the travelled portion of said
roads and that on account of such
reckless and illegal operation of mo-
tor vehicles a large number Of ac-
cidents are caused.
!. "Whereas it is the sense of this
grand jury that line marking the
center of the road would cause the
driver of motor vehicles to keep on
the right hand side, now therefore,
"Be it resolved, that this grand
jury recommends that in considera-
ton of the Babcock system of high
ways throughout St. Louis county
the persons in charge cause the center
of the travelled portions of said
highways to be shown by line of
material different in color from the
other part of the pavement or in
whatever manner may be recon-
mended by the engineer in charge"

SOUDAN Mine
STRIKES new ORE
DEPOSIT SHOWN AT A DEPTH
OF 1900 FEET-HIGH GRADE
ORE.

An interesting and important devel-
opment has just been made at the
Soudan iron mine, at Tower Mimi,
in that the Montana ore deposit has
been disclosed on the 1800-ft level,
says the Mining Review. This is at
an additional depth of 200 feet, the
next level above being the 160O-ft.
level. The ore is characteristic of
the mine, being very hard. 1t is
a steel-blue non-Bessemer hematite.
The Soudan is one of the Oliver Iron
Mining Company mines, of which
Charles Trezona is general superin-
endent.
The Soudan will this year make
shipments for the 37th continuous
season. 1t was the first iron mine
in Minnesota to produce and ship ore
and it is today one of the most i'm
portant mines on the Vermilion
range. This mine has shipped to-
tai of 9,292,120 gross tons since it
began forwarding ore in 1884. That
season the mine shipped 62,124 tons
and only once since then has it ship
ped less tonnage in any one season,
and that was in 1908, when the rec
ord was 5000 tons. 1t was along
about 1908 that rumors were afioat
that the Soudan was pretty nearly
all in. How such reports get started
is not known, but time has revealed
that they were without foundation.
The Soudan is a great mine still and
certainly has great many years of
productivity ahead. The largest
season shipments recorded from the
Soudan were in 1889, with 535,31S
tons, and 592,196 tons in 1897. The
shipments in 1890 also exceeded half
a million tons, and in several other
years the shipments ranged from
100000 to over 100000 tons. The
average of all cargo analyses for
1916 was Iron 64.92; phos., 1872;
silica, 500, and manganese, .078.
Some of the finest ore that has
been produced in the Soudan has
been developed on the lower levels.
The drift on the 1SOO-ft level at this
writing is only about 20 feet in the
ore, but the quality is maintained
and it is expected that the tonnage
of ore will continue very satisfac-
tory.
The Soudan ore in way is a spec
ialty. 1t is distributed to many of
the furnace yards of the Steel Cor
poration to serve special purpose.
For example, in furnace practice, if
the molten mass does not flow freely
the well known remedy is to "give it
a shot of Soudan." This ore acts
as physic and causes an easily flow
ing bath to respond quickly. The

the best seats to be had. The choic-

1t had been predicted that there
would be a great demonstration for

greeting was friendly. Hays speech
was short and snappy. Lodges Key
note was long and heavy. Everybody
was bored stiff while he was speak

nobody seemed TO care. Nothing hap
