A letter from one who forgot to
sign his name informs us that he is
plumb Disguised" with us. We do
not resent the criticism. We have
sat in good many legislatures and
and we have felt that way about
every one of them. The lawmaking
arm of our government, like the
other two members of the trinity,
has wasteful and inefficient ways,
but somehow in the end it does
seem to get things done. The very
ones who sign themselves disguised
have been caught boasting that
the government of the U. S. A. is
the finest in the world. In fact, it
is mostly these very same fellows
who make the eagle scream most
screamingly on the Fourth of July.
Income Down, Expenses Up
All the big appropriation bills of
the session have been framed and
they are mostly bad news for the
taxpayers. The exact appropriations
of the Forty-Seventh Legislature of
Minnesota are still undetermined,
for altho all the appropriation bills
have been drawn, they have not
been drawn alike by both houses.
Conference committees, sitting far
into the night, agree upon the ex-
act amounts, and these are often
not determined until the final night
of the session and twice or thrice
lately than final night Of the ses-
sion has seen the light Of the fol-
lowing day before it has ended.
Roughly speaking the present

A Different Picture

A Different Picture
Now that you have looked on
that picture, please to turn and
look on this, which, we are pleased
to say, is much easier to look on.
For several years Minnesota has
been experimenting with processes
by which low grade iron ores may
be made merchantable. Minnesota
has tonnage Of high grade iron
ore sufficient to maintain the iron
mining industry in the state at the
present level for the next twenty
years. After that, what? The
state also has vast tonnages Of low
grade ore, deposits so tremendous
that, If they can be made merchan-
table, iron mining may be made to
continue in Minnesota for genera
lions, perhaps for centuries.
Minnesota's experiments with low
grade iron ores have. already been
profitable according to f. A.
Wildes, state mine inspector. A few
years ago, high grade iron ore only
was mined. Mr.. Wildes Informed
a legislative committee that today
on the Minnesota iron ranges AZ
washing or other benefciating
plants, each costing from many
thousands up to one, two and three
millions, are in operation, and he
further astonished the committee
with the statement that SO per cen
of all the iron ore shipped from Min
nesota in 1880 was treated or bene-
ficiated ore, that is, low grade ore
made merchantable by treatment.
Quick Change of Front
Many strange, many surprising
things happen in parilaments. The
wise crack Of the prophet that
there is nothing new under the
sun, does not, we are persuaded
apply to law-making bodies. The
resourcefulness of your solon in
pulling unheard-of stunts is one of
the things which makes the legis-
lature so exasperating, and so in
teresting. His nimbleness, recently,
was something to marvel at. It all
happened in the fight over the Or
ganization of department of con-
servation. One day the house voted
emphatically and repeatedly for the
one-man plan of administration.
With 66 votes necessary to win, all
the commission plan of administra-
ton could muster was 40 votes on
one roll call and 38 on another.
Then the bill failed, polling only IS
votes, one short of the necessary
majority, and all the world looked
black to the friends of conservation
Next day the house faced the right
about, voted emphatically to re-
consider, gave the commission plan
of administration 68 votes, passed
the bill by vote of 80 to 43, and
made the sun to shine once more
on the good Waltonians and the
bad Czarists alike.
When this letter is in print, four
days of law-making will remain to
the Legislature of 1881. What it
has done thus far is recorded in
the Journal of house and senate;
what it will do in the next four
days neither you, we, nor the leg
islature itself knows.

Ter, and a successful one, heard Of
a likely quarter section near town
for sale at the tempting price Of
$4,000. Whereupon he hastened to
drive out to see the bargain, but
being by nature canny and eau
tious, he bethought himself to stop
at the office of the county treas
urer. There he found that the
land has assessed at $4,000, that
the county auditor was threatening
to raise the assessment, and that
the quarter was paying a total tax
of $760. That slowed Mr.. Lowe up
some. We once called attention to
the fact that under Minnesota's
theory and practice of "fair and
equitable" taxation, $1,000 invested
in a real estate mortgage will be
taxed So, in a note $780, in cows or
calico $207, in iron ore $311 plus,
and in farm lands $500 and up. Up
is right. Ten thousand invested in
the tempting farm land that Mr..
Lowe met up with would be taxed
$500. That's how!

Chapter 28 THE MOONS INFLUENCE

Bobby Cranshaw's dinner was a slittering success, perhaps the most lavish thing in the way of favors and exclusive in the way of guests that Mrs. CranshaW, addicted to lavishness, had attempted tn t year.
 She had intended that the party should repair to the ball room up- stairs for an after-dinner dance, but Bobby had become involved Tn premises with La Petite Theatre du Vieux Carre. Perhaps it was just as well.
 The Easter season was so croWd- ed with dances that the musicians never did themselves justice, and she herself was due at another af- fair before the evening was over.
 Mrs. Cranshaw looked in on Bob- by's dinner as she went out, a \amptuous figure in white velvet a,M ermine cloak, MT. CranShaW ' just behind her They came in ('.Don't rise, my dears!'), speaking to the marquesa particularly, and to Juanita; making little general greetings.
 Pretty girl, the Senorita Flores, said Mrs. Cranshaw as they rode away. MT. Cranshaw nodded. But the marquesa." he added, lis a trump" "Marquesa can't be frumps," said the lady.
 The, papers had heralded the Cranshaw dinner, and Molly had apparently read them, for new dress awaited Juanitas return. There was no new dress for the marquesa, however, and no time for her to select one.
 Kirk had delayed bringing them into town until almost the last minute. Juanita had not wavered in her refusal to marry him on Thursday, and he felt more content with her in Biloxi. The Tijon was in New Orleans, he reminded him. self, and the marquesa had an nounced her intention of returning to it with Juanita.

 .Later," said Nelly, you are to come back here. How do you ex- pect me to stay without you?"

 Nelly had known ot ing oi Kirk's plans for an immediate mar riage, nor of Juanita's later refus- al to marry him at all.
 Nelly would have opined that Kirk, the host, had even less right to insist on marriage than he had to propose it.
 But even Nelly could see thai the marquesa was determined to end her visit with them in either place.
 Juanita wondered. Was it be- cause the marquesa had made such comedy of herself the night ol Adrian's dinner, or had Divitt or dered her return?
 The marquesa, Juanita knew kept in not infrequent touch with Divitt.
 On the evening of her return from Caprice she had telephoned him asking for her lorgnettes, mak ing casual reference to their out ing in the yacht, to the presence of Madame Fouche and Adrian Juanita could hear her without lis tenfng.

j. s. USES HALF.
OF WORLD TIN

Tin is the only metal Of which
the United States annually con-
sumes more than $4,000, 900
worth and yet remains negli-
gible producer, points out the
United States Bureau of Mines.
Department of Commerce. In
fact. the value of the tin an
nually imported for consumption
ranges from $60,0O0,000 to over
$100, 100000 and accounts for
almost half of the world produc-
tion.
Annual domestic production is
valued at less than $4,000 and
amounts to less than one-twen-
tieth OF l per cent Of the worlds
total output.
The principal tin-conSuming in
dustries are food packing, auto
mobile manufacture, and build
ing. The packing of food is rela-
lively stable from year to year
and may be counted upon to alb
sorb a fairly constant quantity
of tin plate and solder but the
automobile industry is subject to
wide variation in the number of
units produced, says Charles
White Merrill, in a recently is
sued Bureau of Mines report.
If the recovery of secondary
tin-that is, the production of
tin from sources other than ore
were included with primary
production, the United States
would rank third among the tin
producing countries of the world.
Tin-bearing alloys. tin-plate clip
pings and melting-pot dresses are
the most important materials
from which tin is reclaimed.
Most of the tin recovered from
alloys does not pass through a
refined-tin stage but is made into
alloys which are brought to the
required specifications by the ad-
dition of virgin metals.
Most of the tin plate entering
the reclaiming processes consists
OF trimmings incidental to the
fabrication of tin-plate products.
In the past some used tin cans
have entered the detinning plants
but at present prices for reclaimed
metals, the recovery Of tin from
this source is Improbable in the
United States.
