'A "'good roads, meeting", will be held'at the, rooms of the Commer cial Club,.Duluth, next Wednesday evening, at which the attaining of state aid in behalf of needed road improvements in. St. Louis county will be discussed. IJ speaking UB of/ the meeting and its object the News Tribune of yesterday says: "St. Louis county is a small em pire in size and fully as important as.drainage is the making of per manent highways. The road prob lem here is hot like it was in the prairie country of the southwest nor in the mixed prairie and hard wood section, of the central part of the state, ^here temporary road quaking sufficient for the d^ys of early settlement was a simple mat ter. Here even this is an expense beyond'the means of the settlers or of the county to undertake on an adequate^scale, with the millions of acres of state and railroad lands that are beyond the reach of taxa tion. "State aid and state supervision are both needed and, indeed, are es sential to meeting the situation in this northeastern section of the state." Post Mortem Kindness. Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them the kind things you mean to say when Jthey are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweet en their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfume of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheer ed by them while I need them. I would rather have a plain coffin without-a flower, a funeral without an eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let learn to anoint bur friends beforehand for their burial. Post mortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over 1 ife's weary way. Presbyterian Church. Sunday School at noon. C. E. at 7:15.

Considerable work on the extreme west end of the range is being con ducted this year, where the Oliver company and other interests ex plore property on the west side of the Mississippi. There has never been any ques tion of. the fact that the Mesaba ratige extended across the river for a considerable distance, but as the drift covers the formation to such a thickness as to completely obliterate all evidences of its presence, explor ations there has been a difficult matter. It has been one to be un dertaken by heavy interests, and in a sort of a blind manner, by feeling out in the probable direction by one exploration after another. The location of the ore-bearing forma tion on the western side of the river at that point has been followed, therefore, by an extension of the work to the west, and this is now Are City of Duluth, in said County.

What ore that has been found so far is of about the charact er of that discovered near the river, on the east, though it seems in many cases to be of a rather low grade. The possibilities in this direction are that a material in crease in tonnage may result from this work. Work has been done as f$r west as 145-23, and a considerable amount of surface prospecting has been carried on this spring even further west, with some encourage ment. \, May Move Sparta to Eveleth. Because of the fact that the present townsiteof Sparta is known to cover a valuable ore deposit it is said the town will be moved the coming summer, the location as planned, being just east of the Fayal, and but a short distance south of Eveleth. When the proposition to move the town was first broached it was the desire of the citizens that a location to the north and east of the present site be obtained, but no suitable ground is to be had.
