FAMOUS OLD HIGHWAY.
Road, Constructed Near
Iy One Hundred Years ago.
still in Fair Condition.

The most remarkable highway built
In the United States early in the cen
tury was the so-calied Cumberland
road which was to extend from yum
ber!and, Nd, through southwestern
PENNSYLVANIA, over the Alleghany
mountains to the Ohio at Wheeling
w. Va, and then on to st. Louis IL
vas SO we'll constructed that IL Ii
good road to-day. Henry Clay was us
protector and chief supporter ana hls
services in its behalf are commemoraT
ed by monument near Wheeling. we
are told by letters written at that
period that there were sometimes ~
gayly- painted four-horse coaches eacn
way daily. The cattle and sheep were
never out Of sight, and canvas-covereo
wagons were drawn by six or twelve
horses"
On this great road, which eventually
passed into the hands of the states
through which it runs, the government
expended no less sum than 81, OOO,oOo'
Within a mile of it on either side the
country was wilderness, but on the
highway itself the traffic was as dense
| as in the main street of large town
| Ten miles an hour was the usual speed
for coaches. From Baltimore to Wheel
ing ran lines of freight wagons when
| carried ten tons, drawn by II horses
and with wheels ten feet in diameter.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer
lea in 1912, he Travelled by stage coach
from Cleveland to Sandusly, o. De
scribing his experience, he wrote:
cat one time we were all thrown to-
eether in a heap at the bottom OF the
coach, and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. NO"
the coach was lying on the tails OF the
two wheelers, and now it was rearing
I'D in the air. The driver, who GER
tainly got over the ground in a man
ner quite miraculous, so twisted ant
turned the team, In forcing passag'
corkscrew fashion through the bog
and swamps, that it was a common
circumstance, on looking out OF tn
window, to see the coachman with tn
ends of q pair of reins in his HANDS
apparently driving nothing and tn
leaders staring unexpected at on
from the back Of the coach, as II the,
had some idea of getting up behind.

Is made by throwing trunks OF tree
into a marsh and leaving them to sci

SHORT NOTES

Miss Wells was the recipient OF a
handsome present, bonbonier full OF
choice bon bons from the pupils of the
high school.
Robbie Wilson showed that he knew
what would strike Gordon jackson best
as he put juicy mince pie on the
tree for him and you should have seen
the pleased grin on Gordon's face
when he got that pie.
The High School Orchestra deserves
especial mention. Tie young ladies
did exceptionally well. We hope that
they viii appear In some public ex-
hibition this winter no that the people
IN general may have an opportunity 10
m them.

SOCIETY INCORPORATED.
Crystal Falls Hebrews From a Legal
ORGANIZATION for WORSHIP.

Crystal Fails Hebrews From a Legal
ORGANIZATION for Worship.
Crystal Falls has colony Of as pro-
gressive Jews as can be found any
whore in the country They are always
alive to the interests of the city; al
ways ready to lena helping hand and
take hold Of any progressive measure.
Not alone in matters pertaining to our
municipal welfare are they alive but
also To the interests of their own people
and form of worship About two
years ago they formed a society for the
purpose OF worshiping in their own
way and rented the hall In the Bloch
building as a place Of worship. A
year afterwards they decided to have
rabbi stationed here permanently and
to that end Rabbi Frankenstein was
brought here.
The last move Of this society was TO
incorporate under the laws of Mich
igan and the news papers, the fore part
Of the week, contained notice Of the
Incorporation Of the b nay Birth of
Crystal Falls Tire lncorporators are
A. Mendelson, N. Warshawsky, A.
Cannon and A. Wool lt IL probable
that should the society continue to
tlorish in the future as in the past,
they will later on build synagogue.

"The taking Of forsy per cent from
the salary of some of the agents Of the
United States Steel corporation is in
big cut but. as one of the gentleman so
treated said to Iron Ore, we can far
better stand it than the men who are
working for the lowest wages. 1t is
the poorest paid men who suffer most,
the unskilled ones, without trades.
The men who perfect themselves ia the
performance of certain work requiring
skill are certainly entitled to wages
above those who have not spent an ap-
premiership to better their condition,
but the humane side appeals to us IN
time like this, and causes us to say
word in defense Of the man who is to
be paid 81. so per day. He has ms large

number of men on the common labor
list is small, and will foot up very
little party in this region. It would
amount to little il they were paid
better Throughout the entire country
the wages at the iron mines Of this
region will be advertised at $36 per
month. The lowest figures will always
be taken as the base. as has ever been
done in the past. But leaving out the
political feature, there is the one of
justice that should command respectful
attention. Our conditions are at
great variance with those Of the worK-
ing men in warmer. SECTIONS of tho
United States. Our living cost Is
higher due to climatic differences, and
this cannot be overcome. ~

FIRE BUGS

ATTEMPT MADE TO FIRE THE
LADA BUILDING WEDNESDAY.
SECOND FIRE THIS WINTER.
First One Looked Suspicious. Other
News Notes of Interest TO our
Readers.

Some one seems 10 have grudge
against Mrs Sam Lada and is en-
deagoring TO wreck their vengeance on
her by setting fire to her building.
Last Wednesday evening Policeman
Ashelman saw big blaze loom up at
the back OF the Lada building which
is in process of being rebuilt from the
bad fire that wreck il two months ago.
He ran 10 the place and found bag of
shaving burning He succeeded in
extinguishing the flames after the bag
had been about half consumed and then
began an Investigation. All about the
place where the bag was lying, kerose-
ne was in evidence, The bag was drop
ped about five feet from the rear door
and the door and surrounding wall
was saturated with kerosene The
sack showed evidence of having been
doped with the same stuff and the
only conclusion that can be arrived at
is that someone placed the bag where
il was found, doped the building with
the kerosene and touched match to
the thing in the expectation that a
big blaze would Immediately ensue
and that the presence Of so much
kerosene would insure the complete
obstruction Of the place
The first fire at this place originated
in the ice box and il was the conclus.

orders come from headquarters. A
concern employing many thousands
men scattered from Minnesota to Vir-
ginia applies the same rule to all its
men of like class. That IL will look
into special cass is probably true. and
that is what hope to see. We are saying
word for the poor fellows who are at
the bottom Of the ladder.
In the early spring we hope to see a
decided improvement over present
conditions. We believe there will be
clearer understanding between capital
and labor, that the present idle wheels
will be tprnIng and that prosperity will
be again owing in satisfactory
volume. /"

Will you people cut wages to the

was asked Of Captain w. J. Richards,
by Diamond Drill correspondent on
Wednesday.
i really cannot say at this time,
was the reply. "Our people have been
adverse to cutting wages right along
and were satisfied il the men Noul |
give better returns for the wages paid
and some time ago when, was at
Cleveland, the sentiment was adverse
to cutting However, since our neigh
bors have cut 80 deeply, thus putting
them in position to mine ore very
much cheaper than we can do as re-
CARDS labor alone, why, it will un-
doubtedly nave the effect Of changing

ENGINEER WELSH
DIED FROM INJURIES.
Intense Agony of wounded Man

Intense Agony of wounded Man
Came to an End Yesterday.
Engineer James j. Welsh, who was
injured while in the discharge of his
duty on an Atlantic Coast Line switch
engine at the Southern Railway juno
ton day before yesterday, died at st.
Joseph's Hospital yesterday morning
at o'clock. after suffering intense
agony. the result of the frightful blow
given him by the recoil of the reverse
lever on the engine which he was
driving.
After the amputatlon of the injured
mans arm the attending physicians
entertained little hope for his recov-
cry, as the shock was too great for
his system, which was already weak
ened by CONTINUED pulmonary troubles.
Immediately after the operation it was
evident that 1t was only a question of
time how long he would live. He was
surrounded by immediate relatives
when the end came, and the grief of
has bereaVed wife was heartrending.
Mr.. Welsh leaves a wife and three
children. His wife was Miss Maggie
Harding. Four sisters survive him,
Mrs. Thomas Murphy Mrs. Frances
Kearney. Mrs. Richard Whelan and
Mrs. David Powers.
The remains of Mr.. Welsh were re-
moved to the family residence. The
funeral will take place this afternoon
from the Cathedral of St. John the
Baptist. The interment will be in the
Cathedral Cemetery.
