a factory where womens dresses are
made and found that sewing earned her
as much as So a week.
Last year this dropped TO $50 or 500.
and what with strikes and business
slumps her livelihood became uncertain.
She decided To go into business for her
self. What business? She looked around
and saw that shoe shining OUTFIT cost
only $3.50. She would start with that
and save until she could buy or rent a
stand and get city license and have "A
regular fixed establishment And with
her sav wings from that she would take
violin lessons, having found her attempts
to teach herself not wholly satisfactory.
And when she could play the violin well
she would herself become a teacher of It,
and thus the shoe shining job would
have elevated her TO the position she
has been bent on attaining since child
hood.
This she told the reporter while she
polished his shoes.

this country, the conditions just now
come as near approaching dead
calm as it is possible to conceive.
But the situation is not without its
encouraging features. The world
needs vast amounts of iron and steel
in multitude of forms. There are
economic problems yet to be solved,
and they are in process. Conditions
for the better may brighten quickly.
Congress is at work on tax problems,
but is making slow progress. How
ever, it is matter of history that
industry and business in this country
improve rapidly once conditions meet
the views of the public.
The cordial cooperation of all
labor at this time would greatly
hasten recovery, and result ultimate
ly in permanent advantage to labor.

Armstrong Bay Mine.

The La Rue iron property, on the
Vermilion range, will in future be
known as the Armstrong Bay mine, to
avoid confusion with the La Rue mine
on the Mesabi range. The Chippewa
Iron Mining Co., of which F. W..
Farnsworth of Cincinnati is president,
is the lessee and operating company
says Skilling's Mining Review.
Mr.. Farnsworth was expected to
arrive in Duluth late this week to
open bids for the construction of the
spur track to serve the Armstrong
/, Bay Mine. This spur will be AN
miles in length, running from the end
of the McComber spur, and thus con-
Meeting the property with the main
line of the Duluth e Iron Range
railroad, and it is expected that con-
tract will be awarded soon.
The Vermiion range is thus
brought to fresh attention by the
arrangements of new mining COM
pany preparing to enter the shipping
list. Mines on this range are not
readily located, and a great deal of
money may be easily used without
success. But it is accepted by the
mining community generally that the
Vermilion is a range of very long
life, and once mine is developed it
is valuable property. The ore is
mot only of good quality but lies deep.
The excellent quality of Vermilion
ore is as widely known as the iron
and steel industry served by the
Lake Superior District. The number
of mines operating there is limited,
but they are notable. The Soudan
mine at Tower is notable for the
fact that it was the first ore producer
in the state of Minnesota, and is still
great mine. The Pioneer and
Zenith mines at Ely are notable for
their large ore deposits as well as for
their high grade.
The future of the Armstrong Bay
property will be watched with much
interest. If this property shall prove
to be another great iron mine, and
it is regarded with much favor by
some men who know much about the
Vermilion range, it viii do much to
encourage renewal of exploration
and the investment of capital there.
1t is the purpose of the Chippewa
Iron Mining Co. to make initial ship
ment of ore this fall Fairbank &
Co. of Cleveland are the ore sales
agents.

County Fair News.

In order to avoid any misunder-
standing in the minds of the people
of Northern Minnesota regarding
the similarity in the names of the
two fairs-the Saint Louis County
Fair (the big fair) which is to be
held in Hibbing on September 8, 4,
and the Saint Louis community
fair at Proctor, Secretary Rich
ard Gifin of the county fair will
this week start campaign to put
the matter straight" before the resi-
dents of the range communities.
"The Saint Louis county fair is
a county institution and depends up
on its support from people who live
in Northern Minnesota. 1t repre-
sents an Investment of several thous-
and dollars and is generally recog-
nized as the only place where exhi-
bits from the entire county are on
display. We are not combating
the efforts of the Proctor Community
fair but we do insist that the popu-
lation of the Northern half of the
state get the two fairs distinctly
separated in their own minds"
The Saint Louis County fair this
year offers the finest line of amuse-
ments in the history of the associa-
ton. Five big acts have been book
ed and two more are to besecured.
The race card program, the open
air circus and the night performances
will surpass last years efforts. "The
present industrial situation on the
range will not hurt the fair. Our
residents have learned that agricul-
ture must some day take the place
of mining on the range and it is at
the fair-such fair as the Saint
Louis county offers to it's people
where one can see for himself, if
our part of the state is really a
farming country as it has been laud-
ed to be" states the secretary.
18 community clubs will enter
exhibits at the fair.

Noxious Weeds.

Your attention is respectfully cal
led to the weed law which was
enacted at the last session of the
State Legislature. The law provides
for the appointment of State Weed
Inspector who shall be charged with
the execution of the law and inves-
tigate subject of noxious weeds and
has power to suggest and formulate
methods of eradication.
We particularly direct your atten-
tion to those weeds falling in class
one and which are: perennial and
annual sow thistle, Canada thistle,
Russian thistle, tumbling mustard and
toad flax and few others in class
two such as French weed and wild
oats which must not be allowed to
produce seed.
"It shall be the duty of every
occupant or owner of the land to
cut down and eradicate any noxious
weeds standing or growing on his
land. Railroad companies shall cause
all nexious weeds standing or growing
on the right of way or on land of the
company adjoining to be cut down or
rooted out each year before the
plants produce seed. The govern
ing board of each town, village or
city shall cause all noxious weeds
standing or growing upon any public
road or highway therein to be cut
down between the first of June and
18th of October following, as often
as may be necessary to prevent the
ripening and scattering of seed of
noxious weeds"
In class two fall number of weeds
some growing in this country and
others not. Canada thistle is one
of the worst and everything should
be done to eradicate this weed.
Only by cooperative methods can this
be done and we hope We can depend
on the voluntary help of all con-
cerned in this respect so that law
enforcement will not be necessary.

ROAD CONTRACTS
LET TUESDAY.
LARGEST AMOUNT OF ROAD
WORK CONTRACTS EVER
IN STATE LET.

The st. Louis county board of
commissioners, in special session
Tuesday awarded the contracts for
six state road Improvement projects,
the estimated cost of which is
$2,000,000. The total length of
the six improvements, four for grad
ing and two for paving, is approx
imately 85 miles, the largest amount
of road work for which contracts
ever have been let in Minnesota
County officials were certain con-
troversy will arise when the con-
tracts are let. The argument, they
say, will be over the type of paving
selected, as was the case when the
contract was awarded for the paving
of the Miller trunk highway for six
miles out of Virginia. At that time
concrete was selected.
Contractors who bid on concrete,
officials declared, will ask the board
to follow the precedent established
when concrete was selected for the
first paved stretch of the Miller high
way.
The four grading project contracts
were awarded for the Improvement
of State Highway No. 35, from Sou
dan to Ely, 20 miles; State Highway
No. 35, from Virginia to Aurora, Is
miles; Congdon Boulevard, from the
Duluth city limits to the Lake county
line, eight miles; and State Highway
No. 35, from Virginia to Chisholm,
Is miles.
Following are the low bids for the
projects: Paving Miller Trunk high
way, from Duluth to the Duluth &
Northeastern Railway right-of-way-
Jacobson Bros, Duluth, $50,394.85
for concrete; General Construction
company, st. Paul, $7S4,541.35 for

REDUCES WAGES
10 PER CENT.
REDUCTION OF WAGES AND
FURTHER CURTAILMENT.

The Oliver Iron Mining Company
annouced this week a further re-
duction of wages of mine employees
of approximately 1919, effective Aug.
l. Further curtailment of opera
lions was also announced, to take
effect at once says Skilling's Mining
Review.
The Oliver Iron Mining Company
has on its payroll about 10000 men
in the Lake Superior district at the
present time, compared with 10000
in normal times, but not all are on
full time. The company is endeav-
oring to provide as much employment
as possible for as many of its men
as possible. This, it scarcely need be
stated, is the policy of the iron min
ing industry of the district generally.
The divers first wage reduction in
the district was 2O%, effective May
l6. The independents had made re-
auctions of various degree, beginning
early last winter, ranging from 15 to
POO, and later most of them made
a further smaller reduction.
Whether there will be further
readjustment of wages remains to be
seen, and it cannot be expected that
anybody knows, nor can know, until
the iron and steel industry itself gets
readjusted as to prices, and there is
real demand. The steel industry,
and the iron ore industry, have kept
wages on higher plane relatively
since the postwar depression than
any other branch of industry.
The two reductions by the Oliver
still leaves the average wage well
above the pre-war level. For ex-
ample, the average of the mining
companies in st. Louis county, Mimi,
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1920, was $6.93. Twenty percent
reduction reduces this to an average
of $5.55 and further reduction of
1870 will bring the average to about
SIS per day. The average of $6.93
1OI IHc SOHi pdiiCS tdhCh
from the report of Ed. Smith, inspec-
tor of mines for St. Louis county.
This average is presumed to have
been maintained up to the time of
the beginning of the depression in
the latter part of 1920.
The divers new curtailment con-
sists of closing down the stripping
work at the Fraser mine, and shut
ting down the Wellington mine, both
of them near Chisholm; putting oper-
ations at underground mines in the
Eveleth district on half time, and put
ting operations at the Ironwood
mines on one-third time No change
has been made in the operation of
the mines on the Vermilion range.
Conditions have not improved in
the iron and steel industry since the
past few months, and there is less
confidence expressed at present that
there will be marked improvement
early this coming fall
