Don't Forget the GREEN STRIPE at the Eagle Dance Hall I p.a.peterson Cleveland, May The Iron Trade Review n Its current Iwue says: While the Iron trade dHfta with plff Iron declining the developments In re spect to ore trafflo on the lakes have reached a point front which they may soon pass to a position of first Import ance. The mutters and pilots have taken a stand that now threaten a stubborn strike and this makes the question of ore supply of Immediate Interest. In addition to the 4,600,000 tons of ore offlclaJly reported as on dock at Lake Erie points on May 1. careful estimates (but not based on official figures) put the amount of Lake Superior ores In furnace yards on that date close to seven million tons. The reduction In the paat two weeks makes the amount of such ore now available about ten and a half mil lion tons or somewhat less than five months supply at the present rate of consumption. Some merchant furnaces In the cen tral wwtt are preparing to blow out In the next few weeks, so that ore con- ' sumption will be reduced to that ex tent. While the above 10,600 tons will run the furnaces Into October If evenly proportioned, 'there axe Interest whose furnaces will be forced to stop much before that for lack of ore.In addition to the demand that wages In many cases be raised, on a declining market, the Issues between the mas ters an1 pilots union and the Lake carriers Involve the principle of pay according to service and the owners are taking a very firm stand. It Is a struggle that may easily grow to na tional Importance. Meantime the ore market is as dull as It could well be. Furnaces want to see to what level prices will go. The United Steel cor poratlon, while free to sell or ex change ore, Is not likkely to find any Inducement to become a seller on such a level as this years. s Pig Iron centers report lower prices and little Inclination by consumers to consider purchases for the third quar ter. The statistical showing for May 1 was unexpectedly good an Increase In production In April of 106,000 tons from that of March, accompanied by a decrease In stock of 14,000. On May 1 the production of coke and anthra cite Iron was at the rate of 19.000,000 tons a year and all apparently going Into consumption, though there Is, of course, the undetermined factor of stocks In consumers hands. South ern Iron Is freely offered at $9 60 for number two foundry, Birmingham, and aales on analysis have been at the equivalent of 19 25.

WE HAVE SPIRITUAL APATHY 8aj Home Life Is Not What It Should He and I Far From llelntr Conducive to State of Morality. Chicago, May 19. The American peo ple as a whole are morally degenera ting is the opinion of Dr. Charlea C Hall, president of the Union Theologic al Seminary, New York who has made a brief address before members and friends of the religious educational as sociation at the art institute. Dr. Hall Is president of the association, which now has 2000 In various parts of the country. "We all rejoice In the re markable growth and the excellent fea tures of American clvllliatlon,"sald he, "but our home life Is not what It should be and it Is not to be wondered at, when we realise the general apathy of the people as regards their spiritual welfare."

STRANGER LIKES ASTORIA. Chioago Educator Says Gateway City Has Thrifty Appearance. Charles B.

He his been in Portland something like a week and stated to a repdrter for The AstOrlan that he would not have thought of re turning east without a look at historical Astoria. "Astoria has a name of which she may well be proud," said Mr. Burdlck. "As loaig as the history of the United States lives so long will the fame of Astoria. But speaking of conditions as they exist today I want to state that this little city has a look of business about it that speaks well for the in tegrity of its citizens. It is as busy as any city of Its size In the United States. Of course you have one all-Important industry here, and for myself I can say existence would not be half so pleas ant were it not for salmon canned In this same Astoria. Natural conditions point out the fact that Astoria is bound to grow. As the result of cir cumstances her growth has been stunt ed, but one of these days the west will awake even more than at present and then they will see a great light and Astoria will come into her own."
