It should be remembered, also, that the train leaves Grand Rapids each morning for Hibbing at 6:30. This regular train was used during the other two days, besides a large num- ber of automobiles that were driven over by Grand Rapids citizens—per- haps twenty in all. It is safe to estimate that not less than one hun- dred citizens of Grand Rapdis visit- ed the ‘St. Louis county fair. Will Hibbing come back?

Sisler of the Itasca County Agricultural association, in which he mildly objects to the criti- cism of the association’s officers in sending to Ohio for advertising mat- ter. Next week the letter will be published in full, with comments. pe Next fall the people will vote on the proposition of allowing no county, in Minnesota to have more than sev- en state senators. The bill passed by the last legislature submitting the matter to a vote of the electors, was attacked by injunction proceed- ings and Judge Hole of Hennepin cuonty decided that the law is val- id and shall go on the ballot. ———— The question is not whether Gover- nor Eberhart is actuated by political motives in his determination to re- move Whittier as head of the Red Wing training school for children. Whittier has condemned himself without any regard to the governor's motives. It is admitted that he has sanctioned the brutal practice of whipping boys and girls with rubber hose, leather straps, etc., while the victims are strapped hand and foot in devices made for the purpose. Whittier should be treated to an ov- erdose of his own medicine and them driven out of the institution by committee. of the inmates appointed ~ ————_—_— NORTH MINNESOTA FAIR AGITATION The Pine River Sentinel again brings up the subject of a northern Minnesota fair, independent of the state exhibit. This subject has been before the people through the press for several years, but nothing defin- ite has yet happened to realize the Project. The Sentinel is right in its contention and the press should keep at it until a northern Minnesota fair is an established institution. That paper says: “The need of a northern Minneso- ta state fair is being talked freely among the northern visitors to the state fair this year, and from some sentiments expressed Northern Min- nesota will not be able to do them- selves justice in exhibits until we do have a northern state fair where we can show our products a couple of weeks later than the Hamline fair. The Hamline fair is held a little ear- ly for the northern section to show all their products to advantage. The main trouble is that we have to ship our products a little green and by the end of fair week the stuff is not in the best of condition. “The main reason though for a the people would see the country Northern Minnesota state fair is that | DEMENTED MINER SUIGIDES IN LAKE Thos. Tresider Escapes From Deputy Sheriff While On Way to Grand Rapids. PLUNGED INTO BUCKEYE LAKE Was a Brother of J. H. Tresider, Chief Mechanic of the Canisteo District—Was At Fergus Falls Before. From Iron Index, Marble: Thos. Tresider, formerly an em- | ploye at the Hill mine, while in a de- mented condition, escaped from Dep- uty Sheriff Carson Wednesday even- ing and drowned himself in Buckeye | lake, one mile and a half from Cole- raine. The deceased man, who was a brother of J. H. Tresider, maste: me- chanic of the Canisteo district, ‘was an inmate of the Fergus Falls hos- pital for the insane up to a few days go, when he suddenly reappeared at Marble without a word of explan- ation, and it is supposed, although this has not yet been verified, that |where the products were idea of what the country really is, except that most people think it a sand pile which they think is almost worthless for agricultural purposes. “With proper northern boys a Northern Minneso- ta fair is not an impossible thing. We should go after it with a ven- geance.”” And, while you're talking, Grand Rapids would be the proper place to hold' that fair. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to have new clothes, why not get the best that money can buy and have them made where the proper work will be put on them? It costs a little more in the first place, of course, but it pays back the investment with inter- est in the pleasure you have in the wear and looks of them.

Deputy Sheriff Carson arrived here in the afternoon, and Tresider, who | did not. want to go back to the hospi- tal, begged that the irons and hand- cuffs be left off him. Carson granted his request, he seeming very ration- al, and everything went well until they reached Buckeye lake, when without apparent warning, Tresider jumped from the buggy. Carson, how- ever, grabbed him by the collar and held onto the reins with one hand and the demented man with the oth- er, although he was dragged from the conveyance, which was nearly tipped over in the melee.

HEAPS OF IRON ORE IN ARCTIC REGIONS From explorations early made, it is evident that if industry should | ever find it necessary to turn to the Artic regions for an iron ore supply its expectations, even though they might be extravagant, would be realized, says the Science Monitor. Mountains of iron are awajting de- velopement in the far north. Two | of these are situated near the town of Kiruna, Lapland, the Kirunavaara and Luossavaara. Superficial bor- ings indicate that the former con- tains 750,000,000 toms of ore, ‘the possibilities of the latter are at present unknown. There are other iron mines of tremendous promise in this region. Kiruna, a community that has come into existence within the last ten years, is now shipping iron ore at the rate of 1,500,000 tons a year. During the last two or three years much has been written and printed concerning the coal mines of Spitz- bergen, whjch lies directly north of Lapland. The contiguity of coal and iron mines that in every ordinary sense are inexhaustible gives excuse, of course, for endless speculation. The world has passed into the age of steel. In practically all construc- tive work steel is rapidly supersed- img every other material. Within a few years a wooden railroad or tram car will be regarded as a relic. Even where cement,.brick and stone may be used in building, steel will doubtless be employed as reenforcement. It who in turn notified Judge of Probate!

Stranger things might easily hap- pen than that the world within the present century should be looking to the Artic regions for its iron ore supply. At all events, it is pleasant to know that the Artic iron mines are in reserve. SHOPS TO BE REBUILT AT HAWKINS MINE Announcement has been made that the machine shops of the Hawkins mine, which were destroyed by fire recently, will be rebuilt on a much larger scale and constructed of brick. Owing to stripping operations which are at present close to the site used for warehouses, machine and blacksmith shops, a site further from the pit will be selected for the proposed new bu'lding.—Nash- wauk Herald. THIRTY MILLION TONS OF IRON ORE The Lake Superior Shipment Is Expected to Reach This Figure For 1911. Iron ore shipments from the Lake Superior region continue to fall be- hind those of a year ago. The move- ment has not been brisk at any time, nor is it expected to be. However, the outgo has been steady through- out the season and! the tonnage so; far forwarded mounts up to a_ total better than most mining men aantici- pated. The shipments via the Great Laes to Sepkt. 1 were a trifle more than 19,000,000 tons. A waning rath- er than an increasing movement is iooked for the balance of the season, nothwithstanding tale the expectation at the mines that the outgo for the year by lake will ap- Proximatd 30,000,000 tons. This will compare with 42,650,000 tons forward- ed by water last season and will be some 5,000,000 tons im excess of the figures generally predicted early in the spring. Only over the Great Northern rail- road are ‘the shipments from the mines heavier than a year ago, and this is due solely to the company’s contract with the United States; Steel corporation. The tariff over the Great | Northern is proceeding at a rate which presages an aggregate of 1,000,000 tons for the season—one- half as much as that over the seven other ore-hauling lines combined. The Great Northern often handles 1,600 ta& 1,800 cars daily at its big sorting yards at Kelly Lake. There is no use kicking about the weather, the weather man has got to get his spite out on somebody, get your clothes ready for winter now and have a joke on the old _ fellow when he does show up. The Art Tail- ors have a fine line of heavy suitings and overcoatings. (RUMORED THAT MINE WILL CLOSE DOWN The 111 and Her Crew Sent to Coleraine to Work in the Canisteo Pit. From Iron Index, Marble: Although nothing authentic can yet be obtained, the general impres- sion among mining men is that the Hill pit will closedown this winter, They base their reason on the fact of the 111 and her crew being sent to Coleraine and the over production of iron. The merchants are naturally alarmed over conditions. for if the mine closes down, business will be very dull. The Iron Index, howev- er, does not believe the underground j workings wilh be shut down.
