The vartial shutting down of tie
mines ia this vicinity. while at first
it may appear to many as a hardship,
in the end can be, or should be- made
to revert to the benefit of the entire
community. Twelve or thirteen years
ago when the mines shut down entirely
here there were but very few home
steader in this end of the county.
Soon after the mines closed down
many of the miners went into the
woods and located IN 100 acres of
Uncle Sam 5 domain. To day we have
hundreds of farmers, men who former
~ worked in the mines, who are in
comfortable circumstances. They have
good homes, good farm buildings, fine
horses, carriages, wagons, farm
machinery, such as reapers and self
binders, etc. Many of these men would
probably be working in the mines yet,
If they had not been turned loose to
seek living in some other occupation.
There are yet thousands of acres in
this end of the county belonging TO
Uncle Sam and spectators The

The action Of the council or Of some
members of the council in sinking
their personal feelings and voting for
the hiring Of superintendent OF

their preference but that preference
