Bedtime Stories

bleheels, own cousin of Danny
Meadow Mouse, is the very best
jumper on the Green Meadows,
so it is quite natural that he should
enjoy jumping. He jumped and he
jumped for Peter Rabbits benefit.
Peter stole out from the dear Old
Brier Patch and sat up in the
moonlight that he might watch
Nimbleheels better. Such jumping
Peter had never seen before, and
both he and Nimbleheels became so
interested that they quite forgot
that it is never safe to play on
the Green Meadows unless a sharp
watch is kept for danger.

him in that direction, and so he
missed him again.
Then began the most exciting
game Peter had ever seen. At least

tiny bit the end of Peter would
have been right then and there,
for that shadow was Hooty the
Owl.
Nimbleheels was so intent on his
jumping that he didn't see that
shadow at all until he shot up into
the air above the tops Of the grasses
under Hooty. Swiftly, but without
a sound, Hooty turned In the air

other way darted Nimbleheels over
the tops of the grasses, and, wheel

just wee second too late, as he
struck savagely with his great, cruel
looking claws.

Eight Minnesota Invites You" signs

The signs, five feet by three and a

with the opening of an anticipated
heavy traffic between the United States
and Canada this summer

streams and ten thousand lakes.
ITO live and let live by observing the
usual rules of safety.
ITO use only safe boats and beaches
ITO take no chances while swimming
''To be good fellow and drive care

heavy Canadian traffic passes. One
will be placed on the Federal building

scrap. In the last five-year period, 81
per cent of the steel made in the
United States was made from scrap.
This increase in the proportionate use
of scrap has resulted in limiting ship
mentS of Minnesota iron ore to the
point where during the last five years
the average shipments were just equal
to the average shipments during the
five year period from 1906 to 1910.
Thirty years industrial expansion in
the United States, accompanied by a
40 per cent increase in the production
of steel, has left the Minnesota iron
ore business at the same level as in
1906 to 1910.
Mr.. Northruop then goes on to state
that rough castings, f. o. b. Pittsburgh,
sell for $40 a ton and plowshares at
$3.50 a ton What plowshares cost is
matter not controlled by the steel
manufacturing companies but by the
companies which take the steel and
make it into plowshares. His figure on
rough castings, however is off decl-
NAL point or two. Actually, and I am
quoting from the market quotations in
1.-THE Iron Age" of May IL, 1889, pig
| iron sold at Lower Lakes ports (Cleve-
land and Chicago) at $21 per ton. Pig
iron, you will remember, is approxima-
| tely two tons of iron ore, plus nearly
two tons of coal in the form of coke
plus one-half ton of limestone, put
through an expensive blast furnace op-
Grafton. When this pig iron was pu
through the open hearth furnaces ano
made into steel billetS, slabs, or shee'
bars, it sold at Pittsburgh for $34 PEE
ton From then on, it is made int
many finished products by many diff
ferent factories, and the final cost o
the finished product depends not 81
much on the cost of the steel as on thu
various manufacturing processes which
the finished product goes through.
Mr. Northrop looks at the iron or
industry solely as source of taxes.

ment to be able to let. his attitude g
unchallenged. A program of Oppressive
taxation on the iron ore industry o
any other industry will in the long ru1
produce not more but less taxes an
, defeat its own ends.
AS for Mr. Northrops final statemen
that southern Minnesota has carrie
80 per cent of the tax load through tn
: years, study of the annual reports @
the State Auditor and the Minnesot
Tax Commission will show quite diff
ferent picture.
The State School Fund of nearl
100 million dollars was derived almos
entirely from the sale of state land
and timber, in the northern half c
the state, plus the royalties and occu
patton taxes on iron ore.

OUR CONGRESSMAN
News Letter Written for The Ely Miner by
WILLIAM A. PITTENGER
Member of Congress- Eighth Minnesota District

in the AAA bill for dairy farmers, but
stand ready at all times to vote for
a tariff measure that will free our far
mers from cheap foreign competition.
The second letter stresses the point
I am trying to make-that competition
is the major cause of our unemploy-
ment. The Duluthian writes:
II am writing this letter because of
a condition existing in the marketing
of timber products, and in this in
stance I refer to pulpwood of various
kinds.
For the past two years I have re-
ceived $13.25 per cord for peeled balsam
FOB cars. "'*At this time I am offered
$1,000 for the same product, a diff
ference of SITS per cord, but costs OF
production are as high as they have
been, timber getting more scarce
and the distance farther to haul to rail-
roads for loading on cars.
Buyers for the paper mill state thai
if they cannot secure enough wood in
this territory to supply their needs, they
can buy ground pulp from foreign
countries that will be as cheap, o.
cheaper, and that this country has nj
barriers against this product coming in
ct seems 10 me that this is mos
deplorable condition, and am also in
! formed that no such barriers will eve
be raised, that there are too many BIZ
interests who benefit from free ad
mission of pulp. ***"
The letter writer suggests that
campaign of publicity be undertake.
and the public informed. But tn
same condition obtains in almost ever
line of business and industry in thi
country. And will, until such time a
the American people put an admins
tration in Washington that will Civ
adequate protection to domestic indus
try-give the American producer frs
call on the domestic markets. Whe
that time comes, unemployment Wi
cease in this country again, prosperit
will come. But not until then.

When the group made the trip to
the site, Sunday, it was necessary to
pole through the narrowS between
Moose and Newfound lakes. The water
was about one and one-half feet deep
there.
The new level of the lakes, if the
dam is put in, will be about 2.8 feet
above this. It will just come up to
the top of the pier at the Hubbard re-
sort according to an elevation mark
put there by the forest service.
This new level would hide the I'M
slightly shoreline, exposed by the low
water, and would make it possible to
go through the narrows at functions OF
Moose and Newfound and Newfound
and Sucker lakes without difficulty
during summer months.
Starting their trip at Hibbard's lodge
after eating lunch there, the party
numbering about 80 men, were taken to
the dam site in six boats. They re-
turned in the evening and the out-of-
town people remained there over night
going to Duluth the next day.

following members:
