Al ,60S'976 TONS OF ORE FROM
MINNESOTA RANGES IN 1926.

Shipments from the Minnesota
iron ranges in 1926 totaled 41,c08,-
e76 tons, reports Ray P. Chase, state
auditor.
Shipments were divide as follows
The Vermilion range, 100000 tons;
Guyana range, 2,089,728 tons, and
the Mesaba range, 37,919,448 tons.
Of the total 10,017,636 tons were
produced in the thirteen state owned
mines, Mr.. Chase said.
Although the 1926 tonnage ex-
ceeded that of 1925, by approximat.
ely 100000 tons, the tonnage cid
not reach the totals reported in 1916,
1917 and 1913, when Minnesota pro-
duction reached the peak.
Three of the years record tonnage
is explained by the fact that it was
during the years of the World War.
The 1915 output total of 1900, 900
tons was exceeded by small amount
in 1917. The 1918 iron ore product
ion totaled 100000 tons, while
the 1928 production was $4,000, 900
tons. The 1925 crop totaled So
856,244 tons.

know that otherwise we cannot long

profitable for the taxed party to es-

will do SO.
"As a result of the passage Of such
q law, we shall also see, eventually,

of the Vermilion range with dts vast
store of untouched wealth under

Their reductions in costs due to
equable taxes to industries establish

at rates so attractive as to stimulate
demand upon the American and world
markets and thus enlarge the entire
production and manufacture of steel

quent general prosperity.

think too much about it: Do it!

"DICK" SCHELL, OLD TIMER,
DIES AT DETROIT, MICH.

Friends in this city were appraised
the latter part of the week of the
death in Detroit, Michigan of Rich
ard Schell, or "Dick" Schel, as he
was Familiarity known in this Sec
ton of the country in the early days
of the city when he operated the
news concessions on the Duluth &
Iron Range up to the time he turned
them over to Sam Rapson. Mr.. Schell
after leaving the railroad run settled
in Duluth in the hardware business
and was recognized as Duluth's lead
ing sportsmen, maintaining racing
horses and motor boats and also TAX
ing great interest in the base ball
teams and rowing clubs. Of late
years he has devoted his time to the
development of mining properties.

LEGISLATURE ASKED FOR
TAX LAW TO AID THE STATE.

The city council of Duluth at a
meeting a few days ago passed a
resolution asking for a law to regu-
late tax matters in such a manner
that iron manufacture and other
manufacturing plants in Duluth and
st. Louis County would have chance
for their life after being established
and not taxed to death.
An old resident of Duluth in COM
mending the action of the council,
produces a few reasons for his opin-
ions which bear repeating. He said /:
cit is absolutely vital to the great
er prosperity to which our state and
neighbor states are justly entitled.
that the legislature should reduce or
even eliminate the taxes on ore man.

ucts within our state.
"This is the only thing, to my mind,
which can assure the establishment
of more thriving manufacturing COM
munities in our state, the only thing
which can now develop Duluth to the
greatness to which it has always been
naturally destined.
'This adjustment is most certain
to hasten the establishment of our
city as world seaport, and together
with the low water rates prevailing,
and with the greater ingenuity of
the younger and coming generations
in building ships that can safely and
expedit;ously traverse the ice-infest-
ed channels of the inland seas doubt

age the speedy passage of such a
bill as the councils resolution pro-
poses. Next in Importance to prox-
unity to the essential resources, ] be-
lieve, taxes or their effects, directly
or indirectly, are the deciding, or at

JACOB |. PETE
E. : ASSUMES OFFICE.
COMMISSIONERS OFFICE MOVED
FROM TOWER TO ELY AND LO-
GATED IN THE VERANTH
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ARR
NAMED.

Jacob L. Pete, who assumed the
duties Of County Commissioners early
in the week, has removed the Fourth
District Office to this city and will
occupy the rooms in the Veranth
building vacated by the Superior
Forestry officials.
The County Commissioner. were
organized with the election Of A. E.
Dyer Of the Seventh District as head
of the board. Commissioner Pete Of
this District is a member Of every
committee of the Board.
The several commissioners named
their department heads. Commits
sioner Pete has named C. A. johnson
of Tower as superintendent of roads
to replace Claude Winchell who held
the position under Commissioner Fay.
R. B. Mclean, who has been con-
nected with the engineering forces
of the Fourth district for years was
named engineer to replace Ray Matt
son of Tower. The elevation of Mr..
Mclean was a fitting recognition of
services well rendered.
C. A. Dahlgren was made clerk and
accountant for Commissioner Pete;
Art Erickson was made foreman;
Frank Gerzin custodian of machinery
and Frank Lawrich, warehouseman.
A statement made by appraisers,
Arthur Karvonen and Wilton Gia-
motif showed that property owned by
the county in the Fourth District was
valued at $86,374,87. An inventory
was filed with the board.
The appointments made by Com
missioner Pete meet with the appro-
val of the majority. All are exper-
fenced in their line of work and ac-
cording to the new commissioner eff
cheney will be the watchword.
Oscar L. Solheim, who was engin-
eer of this district four years ago is
now engineer for the Second district.
The new county board decided to
dispense with the services of County
highway Engineer R. w. Acton and
have County Surveyor A. A. Ander-
son do the work This action is in
dispute and not settled as yet.

said Commissioner Babcock.
"If our traffic had remained as 1t
was in 1921, we wou.~ be in good
shape to take care of it. Automo-
bile registration has doubled In five
years and placed a burden upon some
Of our trunk highways which they
are not capable of carrying. There
are a few stretches of pavement
carrying more than 5000 vehicles
per day which should be widened,
for the accommodation OF the traff1c,
but as far as maintenance cost Is
concerned there is no perceptible in
crease with such heavy traffic, and
the need of this widening is not so
immediate.
"Our most pressing problem is the
maintenance and improvement OF the
heavier travelled gravel roads. In
pite of the paving we have done,
the mileage of unpaved road carry
ing more than the economical limit
If 500 cars per day is increasing in
stead of decreasing. We had at our
last traffic census 900 miles of UNI
paved road carrying more than 1000
cars per- day and $500 miles carry
ng from 500 to 1000 cars per day.
The hard surfacing of about 1000
miles of the most heavily travelled
sunk highways is particularly urgent
if we want to give our road users
the service to which they are entitled
"For roads carrying less than 500
cars per day, gravel surface is not
only the most economical but it can
kept in good condition in any or
binary weather. With traffic from
500 to 1000 cars per day, gravel
can be kept in fair condition in fav-
orable weather, although it breaks
down quickly both in wet weather
and in prolonged dry spells, and the
cost, in the long run, is greater than
the cost Of pavement. But where
traffic exceeds 1000 cars per day, it
is almost impossible to keep a gravel
road in good condition at any time,
even though we double our mainten-
ance expenditures. We have treated
about 800 miles of the most heavily
travelled gravel roads with calcium
chloride and bituminous binders.
This relieves the dust nuisance and
makes it easier to keep the surface
smooth, but the treatment is expens-
i've and is not permanent.

Status of Minnesota Trunk
Highways at End Of 1926.

The above figures taken from the
Minnesota Highway bulletin, indicate
that the date when the trunk hlgn'

facing. will soon be here. Surfaclng
whowever, does not mean that the
highways are permanently lmprov-
ed'' for even the heaviest gravel,
which is fairly permanent under
light traffic, is very temporary under
the heavy traffic which many OF the
trunk highways get today.
st. Louis County has progressed
with the rest of the state in highway
improvement, the entire trunk high
way mileage in the county being
now paved or graveled, except High
way No. 35 from Aurora to Soudan'
The receipts of the trunk highway
department for the year will be ap-
proximately $17,000,000 of which
S9,9OO,OO0 is from automobile lie
enses, $5,0O0,000 from gasoline tax
and S2,1O0,0O0 from federal aid.
The expenditures will be about
S15O,OOO for administration, $4,000
600 for sinking fund for the county
reimbursement bonds, $1,61O,OOO for
interest, $4,5OO,OO0 for mainten-
ance and $S,279,266 for new con-
struction.
New construction includes 1887
miles of paving costing $1,O13,2lo'
and 3,649 linear feet of bridges to
cost $487,142.
In addition to the 568 miles OF
graveEng done by the construction
division, by contract, the malnten-
ance division has done 205 miles OF
new crawling, regraveled 1888 miles,
applied oil or tar to 200 miles, cal
cium chloride binder once on 1873
miles and twice on APO miles.
The maintenance division has kept
daily patrol service on the entire
system, except the portions under
construction, and has also main
tanned, during part of the year, 51l
miles of detours. All pavement has
had cracks filled where necessary
Other maintenance work includes
755 miles of reshaping, building 5O
miles of detours, scarifying 39s
miles brushing and clearing S6f
miles, moving 588 cubic yards of
dirt in cuts and fills, ditching $685.
900 feet, placing 1870 feet of
drain tile and 1907 cubic yards Of

20 and refoored 26; placed 842
metal culverts, 100 concrete culverts
and 35 wood culverts. The gravel
