K-c and Other Big Lumber Companies will Put
in Reduced Amount Of Timber this Winter.
James Holmes, who has charge OF the
logging interests Of the Kirby. Carpenter
company, gave the Enterprise some
interesting Information in reference to
that company's = intentions az regard the
work in the woods this winter. The X.
G. company will have eleven camps EN-.
gagged in logging, seven of which are al-
ready started. The cut this season will
be te.ally reduced, il being their in
tention to bank only about 70,000,000
feet, instead OF 95,0O0,00O ~ was cut
last winter. This reduction is on nc.
count OF having about Ii, 900. 900 feet ol
logs which will be carried over.
The cost OF logging increases every
year, the timber getting farther and lar
thcr away. In two OF these camps this
winter the haul will be fifteen miles long,
only one trip day being possible, and
the need of railroads for transporting
the logs is becoming still more apparent.
The X. G. conpnny's timber was fortu-
nately missed by the recent windstorms,
which did the most damnge ON the Pine
and Popple rivers, on lands owned by
the IamiIton-Nlerryman company and
others. The wages pnid will be about
the same as last year, this company
keeping about the same crew Of men
year after year.
The X. &. company are also fortunate
this year in not having n large amount
oil burnt timber to cut. Last year this
was very extensive, and il is often
attended with much extra expense. as il
has to be put in the FIRST season.
The same conditions apply to all the
heavy numbering concerns and this win
ter's cut will, thereby, lac materially
reducef

ON THEIR TRAIL.

That's Where the Tax Robbers & the Upper
Peninsula Win Find the Auditor General.
The last debt Of gratitude the people
OF Michigan in general, and those
OF this portion OF the upper penin-
sula In particular, have been placed
under by Stanley w. Turner, auditor
general, is the action ho has taken in
regard to the evasion OF taxation of the
Upper Peninsula Taxpayers Associa-
tion.
Every resident of Iron county is very
familiar with the organization and pur-
poses Of this association. IL is "a body
OF wealthy corporations and millionaire
lnnd-holde~, banded together for the
purpose OF defeating taxation in every
instance possible. The results oi the
efforts OF this organization are also too
well and painfully known TO require ex-
tended review. What Mr.. Turner pro-
poses to do il TO have the recent tax
cases, tried in the circuit court for this
county during the last term. in which
the taxes OF this association for 1898
were set inside in nearly every instance,
reviewed by the supreme court OF the
state. While The DIAMOND Drill be-
lievcs that the finding Of the lower court
in these cases was ia accordance with
the law, II may be possible that the
higher tribunal will hold that certain OF
the technical errors on which the taxes
were set aside, are not sufficient to
deieat the entire tax levy. II such good
fortune matcrializes, Iron county will
have been spared from n loss it can lily
afford 20 bear, through the efforts oi the
auditor general.
At all events, the action taken by Mr..
Turner cannot fail of beniiicent effects.
This associa tion will bc taught that n
friend OF the poor taxpayers OF the state,
more potent than township boards, Is in
the field la the interest oi equality oil
taxation and will undoubtedly induce
them, in the future, 20 govern their
actions accordingly.

dumping into the river one million aud a

carloads OF logs are handled day on

Governor Rich Releases the Mastodon Man After
Five Years Imprisonment.


Five Years Imprisonment.
Just after going 60 press last week,
TmE DIAMOND DnILE received advices
from Marquette To the effect that Oscar
Strnnd had been released from the
branch state prison. having been par
doncd by Governor Rich. This is the
result OF the Investigation OF the state
board Of parlons, which body, while at
work on the case. visited Crystal Falls a
few weeks ago. The pardon u, however,
the result of the labors OF Hon. Z. L.
Roberts, who has worked assiduously
for Strands release during the past four
years. Strand was sent up from Iron
county in 1890 FOR destroying an eye of
Nicholas Chcgwidden ut Mastodon.
Ills term was eight years. Both men
were in the employ OF Mr.. Roberts Mt the
time. During n carousal, Strand, while
attempting TO pull cork, thrust a cork
screw into his friends eye and destroyed
IL. II was undoubtedly accidental, but
circumstances that followed lost
Chcgwidden's friendship to Strand and
the latter, for an apparently revolving
crime, has been compelled To serve six
years in state prison, while in reality he
was probably guilty Of no more serious
ofiense than drunken carelcssness. Mr..
Roberts, being satisfied that Strand was
guilty OF no intent To MAIN his friend,
has laborcd inccssantly for Strands
release and finally secured it.

GOLD BUG CONSPIRACY,

A remarkable Article lately appeared
in the New York Voice which VIZ re-
gard as reliable, and SO clearly shows
to what lengths the money kings of
the east will go if they can to reduce
the volume of money that The DIS
PATCH reproduces it;
Little by little it becomes apparent
that the associated bankers Of this
country are gathering their forces for d
mighty struggle during the next ses-
zion OF congress.
No public proclamation has been
issued and no brass bands are being
employed; but unless all indications
are misleading, there is on foot def
mite, concerted movement that is likely
to change the line of battle on the cur
rencY question.
The purpose of the bankers is this ::
To strike with all their power for law
that shall put out of existence, once
for all, the entire issue of United
States notes known as greenbaeks-
The plea which they will make will
be the highly patriotic plea that this
action ie necessary to rescue the treas
ury from Its perilous position and es-
Uablish the nations finances on a finn
basis.
The plea will be false one, the pa
triotic professions will be delugive, and
the result of the action proposed will
be faT-reaching disaster whose ulti-
mate consequences are incalculable.
Here are the!facts: There are in circu-
lssion today about S540, 100000 of

system. and they have from the begin
ming been regarded by the bankers with
hostility. They insisted on their re-
tiTement as part of the plan of TesumD.
tion twenty years ago, and this retire.
ment was actually begun, So imme-
date and stern was the popular pro-
test, however, that that provision of
the law was repealed and the green
backs preserved as part of the ma
tional currency. From that day to this
the bankers haYe sulkily watched for
their opportunity and they think they
have it now. Whether they have it or
not, they cannot safely wait any long
er. The national bankers convention
held few weeks ago took steps to urge
upon congress the retirement of the
greenbacks. The journals that best
represent the thought of the organiza-
tion haYe been for six months, with
infinite tact and skill, testing the pub
lie temper on the subject. The public
has not taken alarm. The time seems
suspicious. The plans have been con-
summated. The bill is already being
prepared for efecting the desired end.
What is the motive behind all this?
The osteDgible motive is this. The
gTeenbacks are exchangeable on de-
mand, at the United States treasury.
for gold. They are the vehicles by
means of which the gold reserve has
been taken out OF the treasury. On the
face of the thing they are to blame for
the treasury's recent troubles What
more plausible, therefore. than to say,
as the bankers do. that the real remedy
is to retire these greenbseks as fast as
they are redeemed, destroying them at
