Mike Cain while in town during the
week suggested 20 the Reporter that IT
would be "A good thing to hold "A trappers
convention about the Fourth OF July,
when all the old boys, and young ones
too, could get together and swap yarns
as to the best manner OF catching and
skinning muskrats, porcupines etc. The
Reporter thought the suggestion worthy
OF consideration and agreed TO spread
the news wherever this family journal
goes-and that's into many OF the best
homes in the county. There Is no doubt
but "A convention Of that character with
Mike Cain az master OF ceremonies, Tom
Conway, Bill Darby, John the Bear; and
Chief Edwards as experts on alluring the
festive muskrat from his lair into the
capacious maws OF the steel trap. and
Dad Abbot az boss porcupine skinner

The thanks OF the business men Of this
city are due the Oliver Mining company
for the reform they have inaugurated
here in doing away with the garnishment
business, and teaching their employees
that they must pay their bills at the
local stores or their services would be
dispensed with at the mines. Considerable
credit business is necessary in town
/ like Ironwood, and in the past the
business men were required TO serve n
large number OF garnishees every month
in order TO collect the money due them.
When the present management OF the
Norrie group took hold OF the mines they
gave il out that they would do away
with this punishment business as much
aa possible, and that men who were be-
ing continually served with garnishees
were not wanted at the mines. The re-
suit has been that the people pay their
bills without being forced 10 do so by
the law and the business men OF tho
city are thus saved "A great deni OF
trouble and expense .-lronwood Times.
