Caballeros, The Romance Of San
ia Fe-Ruth Barker. In all the
glamorous annalS or the New
World there Is no more colorful
story than that Of Santa Fe, for
more than two generations the
northermost seat or royal rule in
the kingdom of New spain and the
headquarters of the province. It Is
the Oldest capital In what Is now
the United States and its history
under the Spaniards and since Is
extraordinarily interesting.
Sante Fee in Mrs. Barker's book
rises before the readers eyes, not
only in the picturesqueness Of its
old adobe architecture but in the
light of the human history and eff
fort that created it. Through these
pages thunder the hoofs Of the
Spanish Caballeros, those gentle
men on horseback VINO lorded 1t
over this domain. Later one hears
the creaking and grooming Of the
covered wagons. In the building of
America there Is no more ancient
and notable landmark than the
Santa Fe whose history and ways
Of life Mrs. Barker traces so at
tractively.

Safety at the Bathing Beach

Sank Centres public bathing beach is becoming
more popular each year. and the efforts to make it
safer and more interesting laudible and deserving
of the cooperation of everyone in this community.
Besides natural dangers about the water there are
man-made dangers which are caused by careless and
thoughtless people. The matter of speed-boat Joy
riding in the vicinity of the beach may be alright,
but while maneuvering about the waters care should
be exercised and the boats should not be driven too
close to the beach. Only small part Of the lake is
devoted to the enjoyment of swimming while large
expanSe of water remains where those who enjoy the
sport Of skimming the waves in speed-boat
may do so without danger to the bathers.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

The Big Reason for Slow Recovery
Duluthians employed on the To-
cal docks have, of late, called at
tention to and commented on the
large amount of foreign imports
arriving at the Head of the Lakes
almost daily.
For instance-one day a boat
load Of Mccormick corn cultiva-
tors, manufactured in Sweden, was
unloaded here for transhipment by
rail to the various distributing
centers in the midwestern states.
On other days large shipments
of harvester binding Irvine arrived
here by boat from ireland and Bel
GUM. These are in addition to the
many other products being receiv-
ed here from abroad, including
wood pulp for paper making, fin
ished paper, fence wire, farm i'm
plements and long list of COM
modities for which American dol
lars are being sent abroad instead
of being spent with domestic in
dustry and made to create jobs
for U. S. workers.
Is it any wonder that recovery is
slow in this country? How could it
be otherwise when such large
amounts of foreign imports are
permitted to crowd domestic pro-
ducers out of the domestic mar
kets In Washington the admins
tration is trying to justify this
state of affairs by the assertion
that we must permit foreign coun-
tries to do business here or we
can't expect to do any business
with them. It should not require
any great amount of reasoning to
come to the conclusion that there
is absolutely nothing to that argu-
ment.
In the first place, it is an unde-
niable fact that no country buys
single item from the United States
that it can itself produce, or OBJ
tain at lower cost somewhere
else. The United States is the only
country of any consequence which
permits the importation of COM
petitive goods-that is, products
which can be or are produced in
this country. In every other coun-
try the home market is protected
and home industry is promoted
Duluth Free Press.
The Naughty Government!
Well, boys and girls, here is
more evidence that the govern
ment should get out of business
and not interfere with the profits
of the individual.
The Senate Munitions Commit
tee tentatively reports that the
navy in calling for bids on war
ships, is "at the mercy of private
shipbuilders and has to take the
low bid regardless of what it is.
Moreover, it is indicated that "the
private yards cost the Government
from one to two million dollars
more per cruiser than the navy
yards"
This won't do! The government
has no right to build its own war
ships and keep private corpora
tons from getting million-dollar
rake-offs. It has no business blund-
ering in ship construction or ex-
hibiting the well-known inefficien-
cy of the government.
When the nation wants a navy
the idea is to let the shipbuilders
get together, decide how much pro-
fit they will be satisfied with, and
all the government has to do is to
pay for the ships! That will be
enough.-Staples World.

Sparrows Repay Kind Landlor

Activity Mounts
Sharply in Week
At Lumber Mills

New business and production at the
lumber mills during the week ended
April 13, 1885, were higher than any
previous week of the year except two;
shipments were about equal to the
average Of preceding weeks Of 1885
Compared with corresponding week
of 1884, production was slightly less
new business 20 per cent heavier;
shipments 13 per cent greater.
These comparisons are based upon
telegraphic reports to the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
from regional associations covering
the operations of leading hardwood
and softwood mills.
These mills numbered 1,071 during
the week ended April Is; they pro-
duced 183,024,000 feet; shipped 193.-

Lou Retail Prices Stimulate
Electrical Appliance Sales

In these conditions lies the explan-
alton of the sales records esta blished
by mechanical refrigerators and wash
ing machines during 1894, as well as
the creditable outputs of otner ap-
pliances. The favorable volumes thus
far this year indicate that the force
Of the constructive tendencies has not
yet been diminished Household elec-
trio refrigerator sales for January
were 81 times those for the like
month a year earlier, while init out
puts Of washing machines registered
year-to-year gains of 10 per cent in
January and 6 per cent in February
The impressive showing Of refriger-
ator manufacturers in January was
the result of the earlier commence
ment Of sales drives in a mcnth Of
normal seasonal inactivity. 1t cannot
be accepted as a criterion of gains
likely to be witnessed in the remainder
of the year. A continuance of sales
at levels above those Of 1884 however
is indicated for the majority of ap-
pltance lines.
