It involves no merger, exchange of securities, or any new financing, it is simpiy a trade agreement. The harvester company will receive great assistance in the extension of Its export trade. The steel corporation will receive a large new market for its products. The harvester company owns large iron ore deposits In the Mesaba and Vermilion ranges, where also most of the steel corporation's ore lands are located. It has numerous mills in the Chicago district. But the increase in business has been such that the com pany would have been obliged to pur chase a large part of its steel and iron from other manufacturers and to in crease largely the capacity of Its steel and Iron plants. This would have been a matter involving a large outlay Under the new plan the harvester company will purchase most of the Iron and steel which it does not manufacture itself from the United States Steel corporation. Its ore beds will be worked under an agreement with the 0iver Ore Mining company, the prinlriai or mimnff subsidiary of the steel corp0ration. It js probable also that some way will bt found of oneratiner the harvest er company's ore steamers in conjunction with the steel corporation's fleet. The harvester company is to receive the assistance of a large, well organized foreign force of the United States Steel corporation. The Methodist Church.

The hotels tonight are crowded with members of the legislature, which will convene here on Thursday, and much interest is be ing manifested in the situation In re spect to officers of the senate and house. The democrats are in a minor lty in both bodies and there Is little strife for the honor of nominations but among the republicans much hard work Is being done and rivalries are In tense. - The fact that Governor Hanly some weeks ago cleared the field of all speak ershlp candidates except E. F. Branch of Martinsville would seem to have reduced the interest to a minimum, but some of the republicans resent executlve interference and Representatives Meeker of Monticello and Bowlus of this city say they will not support Branch If he is nominated by the caucus. There are fifty-three republicans and forty-seven democrats and If Bowlus and Meeker could get another repre sentative to join them against the gov ernors candidate they could cause a deadlock.
