Closing Up Affairs.

L. j. Hopkins, Pasadena. California
was in Duluth last week closing up the
affairs and the Office of Swallow &
Hopkins. This firm or rather partner
ship, was one of the pioneer lumber
operators of northeastern Minnesota.
They owned much timber and operated
a sawmill at Winton, and for many
years were almost daily visitors in this
city in their travels between Duluth and
the mill at Winton. Swallow & Hop
kins owned the Holland and Helmer
mines on the Mesaba range, both Of
which are now exhausted Mr.. Hopkins
is now gradually retiring from business.

Many Working on Roads.

Construction, improvement and
maintenance work on Minnesota state
trunk highways continues to furnish
employment, directly, for a large num-
Der, according to report by the state
highway department covering work both
with and without federal aid. During
the month of August, employees on de-
partmental work numbered 4,357 while
contractors on state highway work had
a total of 8,706 in their employ. The
figures on the latter probably indicate,
the report states, actual employment
of more than that number of indiyid-
uals for parts of the month as 20 or
more days employment is required as
the basis for computation of the num-
Der of persons employed the full month.
The completion of oiling operations
reduced after the commencement Of
cool weather, but the start of operations
on new highway Improvement projects
is expected to show the employment
total remaining practically even during
the present month, the bulletin states.

Fought Game From Ely on
Score of 8 to 6.

Coming from behind in the final
period with a driving offensive attack
Eveleth defeated the Ely High school,
football team here Saturday. The score
was Eveleth 8, Ely 6.
The visitors outplayed Ely making
nineteen first downs while Ely made
three. Eveleth presented a strong
running attack centered around Ko-
chevar, an elusive halfback, who was
the offensive star of. the game. Ely
played an improved defensive game and
several times took the ball on downs
when the visitors threatened to score
The first quarter was Scoreless. Ely
scored in the second period An inter-
copied pass gave the locals possession
of the ball in enemy territory; several
line plays failed and then long pass,
Porthan to Banks, resulted in a touch
down. Try for extra point failed. Ely
led at the half to 0.
A tough break in the third quarter
gave Eveleth two points. After stop
ping the visitors on the four yard line,
Ely attempted to punt. A bad pass
from center went over the kicker's
head, who fell on it for a safety. The
quarter ended with Ely leading to 2.
In the fourth period Eveleth opened
up with series of line plunges and Off
tackle plays that carried the ball rapid
ly down the field. On the goal line
Ely braced and held for several downs
but Brimsek, visiting fullback, finally
crashed through for touchdown. Try
for extra point failed.
Ely came back strong and attempted
to score with an aerial game. Several
passes were completed for short gains
and third toss was dropped by the
receiver when almost in a clear filed

in favor of Eveleth
Cook, Ely center, playing his first
game this season, was the defensive
star of the game. His hard, accurate
tackling stopped Eveleth runners on
many occasions. Kochevar, Jagunich
and Brimsek were the offensive high
lights for Eveleth, while F. Lenicn
played best on the line. The Ely team
uncovered fine passing game in the

1888 SEASON
GOOD OUTLOOK
Skillings' Mining Review Rumi-
mates On 1888 Iron Ore
Shipments.

Estimates are being made on ths
shipments of iron ore for next yeal
by authorities in such matters. Skill
lings' Mining Review in commenting or
this says:
while it is still seven months unit
the opening of navigation in 1888, es-
Inmates of the probable movement OF
iron ore from Lake Superior are being
made.
1.-The lowest estimate thus far is
25,0O0,000 tons and the highest is &c.
100000 tons. These figures are offered
not because it is believed that anybody
knows, or will know until the turn OF
the year, at least, how much iron ore
will be required next season, but be-
cause it is known now that the season
of 1888 will witness important reversal
of form from that of the present season
and people like to read these guesses.
'The steel industry is starting to
come back 1t will obtain its momen-
tum from the multitude of related In
dustries, many of which are experience
ing improvement. The extent to which
the iron ore industry will share in the
improvement depends upon the demand
for steel this fall and winter, and the
outlook during the season of navigation
in 1888. The iron ore to be sent down
in the 1888 season will meet the blast
furnace requirements until the spring
of 1884. From present prospects the
season of 1888 will open with less iron
ore by about 100000 tons at lower
lake docks and in furnace yards than
at the opening this season.
"The statistical position of iron ore
will be very favorable at the opening
of navigation in 1888, and there is
reason to believe that the steel industry
will make good progress meantime. So
the 100000 estimate may be accepted
as very conservative and the 10000
600 one is just as conservative. This
publication is convinced that the nation
just now is feeling the first impulses
of a new and sound era of prosperity.

Steel Production.

Iron Age has made an interesting
analysis OF the steel production per
capita which suggests declining rate
Of expansion. In 1900, some 800 pounds
per capita were produced annually; in
1910 this rose to 800 pounds; in 1920
to ITO pounds; while the continuation
OF this trend for 1892 would indicate
about $40 pounds. Actually, the cur
rent rate is at the abnormally low level
OF l55 pounds per capita per annum.

While some local merchants
and other town merchants have
kept just a jump ahead of the
sheriff armed with an execu-
ton and a possible sell-out,
government statistics show that
out of every $1,000 worth of
goods sold last year, Wool
worth stores made a net profit
of STAG; the Jewel Tea Com
pany, SO cents, and the Kresge
stores, 65 cents.

Need Better Care.

One idea for homemade farm relief
is to produce things with less labor per
unit of product. This means to get a
higher production per animal and per
acre. The easiest way to do this is to
refuse to expend labor on the acre or
animal that does not give high produc-
ton Another way is to give the good
animal or acre better care.

State Forest Ranger Erickson of

Sary.

On This
Occasion
just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

If there are any in the
country who have a radio and
did not hear the address of
President Hoover at Des
Moines on Tuesday evening,
they missed the best address
made by any president since
the time of Lincoln. President
Hoover spoke in a gentlemanly
manner and clearly and dis
tinctly enunciated the prin-
ciples of the Republican party
in this campaign without the
customary mud singing which
characterizes lesser lights on
the platform. His talk was of
the work which has fallen his
lot since being president and
the assistance rendered him by
great men of both parties in
congress. He also spoke of
the stumbling blocks placed in
the path of reconstruction
measures by some of the OPP
position.
Contrary to the propaganda
being circulated by the OPP
position to the effect that Iowa
and the central agricultural
states were hostile to the Re-
publican party and President
Hoover in particular, he was
greeted with the most demons
trative crowds in Iowa which
clearly disproved the propa-
ganda. He did run up against
some heckling-all great men
do-just before entering Des
Moines when he ran up against
the Farmer Holiday group out
on parade. Being a big man
with opinions of his own he be-
lieves that everyone is entitled
to his or her opinion and he
failed to notice this attitude in
his address at which it is estim-
ated 10000 were present and
which was listened to by mil
lions in all parts of the country.
He explained the tariff stu
alton as applied to the farmer
most clearly and cited facts
and figures to prove that
monkeying with the tariff
means-and has meant-every
time the opposition party Sc
cured control of the reigns of
government. He showed that
under the Smoot-Hawley tariff
measure the imports of pro-
ducts of the farmer had de-
creased while consumption had
increased. Of course, every
economic i'll that has effected
the world in the past three
years has been charged to
Hoover. Some of those who
listened to his address will not
believe him anyway but there
were plenty who believed
every word he uttered and it
is predicted that the stock of
President Hoover has advanced
more than thirty per cent since
the address.
Even the Democrats could
find no fault with what he
said as he gave that party
credit for everything they did
which was beneficial and
helped get our nation out of
the slump from which we are
now emerging quite rapidly.
The Des Moines address will
go down in history as a master
piece.

Purdue, co-holder of the championship

much class against South Dakota State
last Saturday, but it was very evident
that they were playing under wraps.
Football authorities look for Purdue

CHECK USAGE

With the law levying tax of
Q cents on each check. including
those Of the counter variety, going
into effect tomorrow the expecta-
tions are that there will be
falling off in the number in the
future.
The burden of collecting the tax
is placed on the banks and will
increase the bookkeeping expenses
of the institutions 5 per cent.
Customers accounts will be deb
tied monthly with the amount Of

Not only will many small bills
hitherto paid by check be paid
with cash henceforth, according
to predictions by bankers, but it
is probable that a number of firms
now paying salaries with checks
will revert to the cash system.
Local banks and the Washing
ton Clearing House Association in
the past have been interested in
totals rather than in the number
of checks and have no accurate
figures on the number drawn.
