The History Of Week Among the People OF
Crystal Fails.
Considerable difficulty is being exper-
fenced in caring for the poor OF the town
ship at present. Since the township
system has been revived the entire care
OF the poor devolves upon the supervi-
sor. The supervisor OF Crystal Falls
township has now been absent upward

ship are left without provision. Suffer-
ing will soon result unless something Is
done in the premises,

1t will be gratifying TO many friends OF
Miss Edna Parks as well rs a source OF
pride to her alma mater, tho Crystal
Falls school, To know that during the
first quarter OF her first term in the
Lawrence University, at Appleton, Wis,
her average standing was 100. This Is
an honor that few students enjoy.

Limit the Output.
The Dessemer iron output of 1896 win
ho regulated and managed by acombina
ton OF all the principal mine owners
in the Mesabi, vermillion, Gogebic. Me-
nominee aud Marquette ranges. This
much is admitted by those intsi ssted on
ono or more vi the ranges named, and
from Cleveland. o.. il is learned that at
a secret conference in that city yester-
day OF representatives OF every pro-
ducing minc on the ranges mentioned, IL
was decided TO form a combine or agree
mcnt which II is believed viii give the
iron market IN all its branches stability
which il has not enioyed for a number
of years. At this conference IL was
decided that each company would be
bound by certain agreements and that
this agreement would entirely eliminate
the element OF competition between rival
companies, TO the end that prices may
be maintained and the outputnotexceed
the natural demand for ore during the
coming season. 1t Is stated from Cleve-
land that 1.-THE only point OF contention
at present Is an understanding whereby
the amount OF the output OF the varions
mines for the coming year will he
equitably determined. The owners have
however, agreed TO agree and the details
a the cooperative combine will un
doubtedly he arranged before the meet
ing adiourns.
The iron ore producers were still inses
sion behind closed doors mt Cleveland
late yesterday afternoon and nothing
could be learned as TO the details OF th,
combination. IL was stated, however
that harmony prevailed and an arrange
ment satisfactory to all parties will bs
the result OF the meeting. II is said thu
meeting is really for the purpose Of rati
Tying the work OF committees that hav,
been engaged for some time past OF
details OF the combination. There has
been no question since the first OF the
year OF an agreement as to output and
prices among the producers OF BessemeI
ore. on the all OF the ranges, including the
Mesabi. Great secrecy is observed in the
meetings.
II Is claimed that the prices for orc
were to low during 1896. and notwith'
standing the iact that the output was
greater last season than in the history
OF the ranges, amounting in all to about
10000, 900 tons, the aggregate receipts
in dollars and cents did not come up to
those " some former years. The own
ers also believe this agreement will prov,
generally beneficial and that it will lgrcat
ly strengthen the iron business In the
northwest.

CRYSTAL FALLS TO ENTERTAIN

Teachers Of Iron County Win. Meet in Crystal
Falls on the a5th inst.
An institute for the teachers Of Iron
county will be held in Crystal Falls.
Under direction OF County Commissioner
Conlin on Saturday, January %. Com
missioner Conln is now very busy,
making preparations for the event and
there is no doubt that the meeting will
he repetition Of the many brilliant sue
cesses that have been scored by Mr.
Conlin during his incumbency of the
office of commissioner OF schools. While
Mr.. Conlin's general ability and Jealous
labor will insure the success OF the insti-
tuto proper, there remains another thing
10 be attended to in order that the visit
OF the teachers from other parts OF the
county may be pleasant. This is the
entertainment OF the visitors. The last
meeting oi this sort was held at Iron
River. At that time, all who attended
the meeting were enthusiastic in their
nnmeasured praises OF the manner in
which the citizens OF our sister village
entertained them. Iron Riverites left
nothing undone that could add to the
comfort or pleasure OF the visitors. IL
is sincerely hoped that the people OF
Crystal Falls will not allow the coming
opportunity TO return this courtesy to
the people Of Iron River and incidentally
to teachers from other parts Of the
county to pass. II is also duty which
the people OF Crystal Falls owe Mr.. Com
lin, who has brought these Institutes to
such u high standard, that they contri-
butte in every possible way to their sue
cess when held in tile village OF his resi-
donee. Looking TO this end, meeting
OF the business men Of Crystal Falls will
be held in the Lockwood on Monday
evening. when the matter al ways and
means will be discussed. THE DIAMOND
DRILL hopes that business men and
citizens Of the village generally will be
in attendance.

It affords THE DIAMOND DRILL much
pleasure to note the fact that the Upper

An Ex-County ofhcei Of Houghton County
Attacks the Priest.
The Chicago Tribune of Saturday last
contained lengthy dispatch from
IIoughton. setting forth. under glnring
headlines the details Of an attack upon
Father Rezck by Ex-County Treasurer
Miller Of that county. From that source
II il learned that Father Rezek in recent
address TO his parishioners unreservedly
condemned the idea Of "inter-marriages,
or the marriage OF Catholics outside OF
the Catholic church. In the course of
his remarks the reverend gentleman h
said 10 have asserted that such mar
riagcs are not legitimate in the eyes OF
God and hence the offspring of such
marriages is iIlcgitimate, in a spiritual
sense. Mrs Miller, the wife oi Father
Rczek's assailant, is a Catholic and was
present when the remarks were made.
She was highly indignant and ms results
proved, undoubtedly misconstrued
Father Rezek's assertion in regard TO
the children. Mr.. Miller Is a. protestant
and was inccnsed To such state OF rage
by his wife's recital OF what she had
heard at the church that he Immediately
sought the presence OF the priest at the
parsonage. He was received by Father
Rezek and when an apology Tor the disa-
greeable assertions was not hastily
made. Miller ielled Father Rezek to the
floor and left the place.
The many friends OF Father Rezek in
Crystal Falls will deeply regret this in
cident. During his long residence In
Crystal Falls he gained the respect OF
many people outside Of his church by
his many cnviable qualities. lie il a
gentleman OF very pronounced opinions
and il fearless in the prosecution Of that
which he believes to be right.

ESTABLISHED FACTS.
Concerning Graham County, Which are
Well Worth Serious Consideration
by those Seeking new Homes, or Men
Seeking Profitable Investment for
Capital.

The agricultural resources of thu
ella valley are both varid and ex
tensive, comprising an area ot
arabic land of which there is al
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de-
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home OF
alfalfa, of which from to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolificly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than In the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
Of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish,
es near Thomas, IN the lower por-
tion of the valley, Contains large
er per cent of tannic acid than any
ever sent to the extract works
from either Arizona or New Mexi-
co.
Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 800 per acre, in
cluding improvements and water
rights.
Uncultivated land without water
right IS free to any settler under
the United States homestead law.
This class Of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal
facilities have been increased.
The cost of maintaining the ca
nails which are owned by the farm
ers varies from 80 cts. to $1.00 per
acre per year.
