Thirty-seven boats of the Pittsburgh
Steamship company left lower lake
ports on Monday, May is, and will ar
rive in Duluth today to actively begin
the shipping season for iron ore. The
announcement made month ago call
ed for 40 steamers which was later
changed to ST. These boats transport
u. S. Steel ore exclusively.
1t is gossiped in transportation cir
cles, says Skillings Mining Review,
that the present schedules for corpor-
alton ore for the season is slightly more
than one-third of the shipments OF
corporation ore in 1887. The ore ship
ments of the Oliver Mining company,
is, generally speaking, the measure OF
corporation ore movement for any sea-
son.
The Oliver last season shipped
&c, 1926 1874 gross tons. Early schedules
by any of the ore shippers are seldom
adhered to throughout any season.
They are either increased or decreased
as conditions dictate.
The steamship Harry w. Croft Of the
Interlake fleet arrived in Duluth last
week with cargo of coal for the Zen
it'll coal dock of the Interlake Iron
Corp After unloading it left for Two
Harbors to take on cargo OF iron ore
shipped from the Zenith mine in this
city.

hzer unit, one of nine in the building
Girl Scout room with shower baths;
Matron's room; public wash rooms and
showers for both men and women;
main kitchen and several other rooms
necessary for the use of the public and
employees.
All wash rooms are equipped with
soap sprays fed by a central tank. A
Leonard thermostatic water mixing
plant is provided for the showers and
lower floor lavatories. The Scout meet
ing rooms have an acoustic insulated
ceiling with mastic tile floors. The
wash rooms and showers are finished
in Swedish marble with terrazzo floors.
The halls have Italian marble finish
with marble StairwayS and bronze rail-
ings. A complement of store rooms
are provided in the basement and all
the rooms set aside for the use of in
dividual bodies have store rooms an
nexed.
On the alley side an entrance is pro-
vided for the delivery of groceries and
supplies. This entrance also serves as
a fire escape and connected with steps
from the auditorium Directly off the
alley entrance is located the boiler
room where He'll combustion oil burn
er is installed to furnish the hot water
heat.
The larger part of the main plants
for the cooling system for the Office and
cafeteria is also on this floor besides the
air conditioning plant. The heating
and conditioning plant is automatically
controlled and Sirocco fans are INSTALL
ed for both the heating and cooling
systems. All water lines in the build
ing are concealed.
Without a doubt the new building is
one of the most modern to be found
for the uses to which it is to be put.
The interior decorations and fittings
in the rooms beggar description. Words
fail to convey the extent of their
beauty.

plant the lakes with fish; keep fires
out of the forests to maintain cover
for wild life; furnish farmers with
seeding trees to stop erosion; take
charge of five million acres of tax de-
hnquent lands in northern Minnesota
unfit for farming and convert it into
forests; reforeSt the holes left by min
ing operations and develop modern
research laboratory to find method
of providing cheap fuel for Minnesota
industries and a greater utilization Of
natural resources.
Mr. Wenzel stated that the conSer-
walton department had been very much
critized for closing the winter fishing
season. In explanation of this move,
he said that after due consideration
and upon the advice of professors and
experts who had examined into the
fish situation, it was decided to close
lakes to winter fishing. He stated that
fewer mistakes would be made by lis
tening to experts and trained techni-
clans than to the several groups
throughout the state who looked at the
matter from personal viewpoint.
He stated that these experts had adj
vised the department that winter fish
ing destroyed spawn so much needed
for restocking the lakes. Out of every
100 fish caught during the winter, IS
or 90 were females full of spawn, and
explained this by stating that inveSti-
cation had shown that female fish were
more hungry than males during the
winter season and were nearer the sur
face while the males, not so hungry
sought deep waters.
Wardens and employees were sent out
and this was substantiated He said
that while the department had been
subjected to plenty of heat over the
closing of winter fishing, he hoped the
public would look at it in the light OF
conservation. He also stated that the
tourist industry, the third largest in
dustry in the state should be protected
inasmuch as he tourist spent $185,00C
for fishing licenses and left in addition
between 70 and 80 million dollars in
the state last year, all of which would
be lost should we lose our fish supply
He said that if we are to have tour
lists we must have fish which are be-
ing depleted at rapid rate owing to
the automobile which has brought the
lakes nearer the cities. "In the Twin
Cities we have 10000 automobiles
which are being used to convey their
owners to the fishing grounds. There
were 1000 boats on Mile Laos Lake
the first day of the fishing season.
he said, many of which were occu-
pied by Twin City people who had
driven there in their automobiles"
1.-The department was engaged in
classifying lakes to ascertain the right
species of fish to plant therein" said
the commissioner He told of one lake
where wall eyed pike had been caught
and proudly displayed and wherein IL
million pike had been planted. He
also told of how muskies were being
reared in special rearing places, at pre-
sent in Mantrap Lake, to be sent out

contractors on January IL, 1887. In
spection work was done by City En-
gineer Waino Somero for the city and
Harold Jones representing the PWA.
The plans as submitted by Architect
Ingemann called for concrete conStruc-
ton but later stone was substituted.
Several times during the progress of
building which went forward with dis
patch on the part of the contractors but
was delayed by the changes made, the
time was extended by PWA to meet the
exigencies.
The building was completed on Feb
ruary 8, 1888, and after making some
minor adjustments was accepted by the
council on April 5, 1888. The total cost
of the building amounted to approx
mately $230,OO0.
The city council accepting the build
ing was composed of Mayor Jack Peshel
and Aldermen Alex Lobe, John Mat
tia, Arthur Nyman, John Debeltz, Jo-
seph Spreitzer and Frank Zgonc.
Bids were then called for the equip
concerns. Restraining orders filed by
local taxpayers, delayed the furnish
ing bids However, all the furnishings
will be installed by the dedication on
Saturday with the exception of several
items in the cafeteria equipment. This
has been taken care of by collecting
material from local organizations to
fill in missing items.
Supplying equipment for the build
ing amounting to about $4,000 were the
following firms. An inspection of the
building and its furnishings will con-
vince the visitor that good taste was
shown in selecting the furnishings
Those who furnished the equipment
were:

Several others-notably Gilmer Spar

The matter is purely academic, at
that, as all will be dead ducks" so
far as the 1867 assembly goes.
General opinion is that J. r. (Bob)
Young, of Harnett, hasn't much
chance of making his court fight a.
gainst the nomination of Solicitor
Claude c. Canaday stick. Young is
asking the courts to reverse not only
the Sta } Board of Elections, but the

tent that C. B. Deane was named.
This Burgin contest is going to in
terpret some now doubtful legal points
in the election statutes, and before it
gets through it is quite likely to lead
to changes in those laws.
Here's tip-if the court should
overthrow the State boards certifica-
ton of Deane, you can look for the

That it has been entirely too hot for

shown in the unanimous vote

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILI.

Raleigh, Aug. Ex-senator J. H. Sc
park of CASTOR, sits in seat % and
likes it. So when he found that Uncle
Dan" Terry, veteran custodian of the
Capitol had assigned it for 1889 to
''the Senator from Surry," (who will
almost certainly be Fred Folger) he
introduced a resolution providing
that hereafter seats in the Senate be
assigned "by seniority"
Which raised quite a question and
brought more than little debate
what is seniority in the North Car
DINA State Senate? Seats have always
been assigned on a 'sfirst come, first
served" basis: Committee appoint
ments are entirely in the discretion
of the Lieutenant governor and there
just "ain't no such animal as
seniority
There was scant sympathy for the
Gastonian, who had no opposition in
the primary and has none for the gen
eral election He could have dropped
Uncle DAM post card at a cost OF
one penny as far back as the last fill
ing day for the primary. and thereby
have assured himself of sitting in %
again next year.
The extra session has brought some
discussion of just what constitutes a
'lame duck"
The only Lady senator, Mrs. E. L.
Mckee of Jackson, grew quite indie
nant, your correspondent hears, be-
cause she was referred to in print as
such a bird. She insisted that the
term 'lame duck" should apply only
to those who ran for the 1889 Assem-
