SHOW SELFISH SPIRIT
Leading Citizens" OF Iron River 5aIk County
Celebration.

II have just noticed an item In the
Iron River-Stambaugh Reporter saying
that Iron River is 10 celebrate the
Fourth Of July and want to say TO
you that the people of Pentoga think
it very small trick, said a gentle
man from Pentoga 70 the writer over
the phone last Saturday. You people
gave up your celebration 70 them three
years ago upon their solicitation TO
have all the people of the county join
in one big celebration and now that
you people nave arranged 70 celebrate
they have no right TO butt in at the
eleventh hour with two .by.four cele-
bration just out OF malice
II want 10 ray to you that Pentoga
is going 70 Crystal Falls for they have
always been treated right by Crystal
Falls and Iron River, having shown
her fangs in this instance, we know
what we would get from them if the
opportunity arose.
The above conversation Is sufficient
70 give one an idea of what is going
on on the west side OF the county. A
few of the leading citizens couldn Z
stand IL 70 see Crystal Fails have a
celebration unless Iron River had one

department a celebration was gotten

TRIBUTE TO JUDGE STONE
Justice Moore Compliments Marquette
Jurist.

Jurst
The June issue Of the Northwestern
Reporter prints the decision Of the
Michigan supreme court sustaining the
action Of Judge Stone in instructing
the jury to find for the defendant in
the case Of Robert A. Maclam W. the
City OF Marquette This case was OF
unusual interest as IL involved the
constitutionality Of provision in the
Marquette city charter Under the
general law Michigan cities are re-
sponsible for injuries 10 individuals
resulting from slippery or obstructed
sidewalks, but the Marquette charter

city from all such claims and placing

that this provision would be over-rid

Maclam attorneys made the city the
defendant in the action for damages.

opinion Of the supreme court on the
case, pays high tribute 10 Judge
Stone. He says in part
The plantiif was a resident Of
Marquette who claims that he was in
iured by falling over poultry crates

city from all liability and instructed

TESTING OUT A
new ROCK DRILL
RAND COMPANY HAS ONE WORKING
AT THE HEMLocK NINE.
IRON BUSINESS IS QUltTfR
Premiums on Spot Iron Have Vanished
and Better Delivery is 0btainabIe
all Around.

The Rand Drill company has perfect
ed new type Of rock drill, and OF the
two samples sent out from which To
gather data, one has been set at work
in the Hemlock mine at Amasa. Tho
other is in the Qincy mine at Hancock.
Both drills are working at snatt sink
ing and very close account is kept
with each. The Quincy mine was
chosen as the average OF the copper
country and the HemIock as the aver.
age Of the iron country so that when
the trials are completed the company
will have a very clear idea OF just how
their new type OF drill will answer for
work anywhere in the upper peninsula
The new type Of drill is calculated
70 obviate the difficulty that has been
encountered with their old drills in
iitured holes The release is not
sufficiently speedy to clear the cylinder
before the reverse stroke is started and
much difficulty is encountered by
breaking the pawls. The new type
provides Of speedier exhaust for the
air thus relieving the back pressure
and giving the drill more power
While the Hemlock drill mas not been
at work long enough 20 tell much Of
its value, yet one thing has been de-
monstrated already and that is that the
new type viii deliver considerably
more strokes per minute than the old
one.
The HemlocK drill is working op-
posite TO Sullivan u. f. No ? and
is calculated to outdo that drill The
Rand Is a BIS inch and weighs :
pounds more than the Sullivan.
The trial will be- watched with in
terest by all mining men, especially
those who nave found difficulty with
the old make.

BUSINESS HONESTY.

Mrs. Russell Sage has preached
little sermon on business honesty,
though she did not ascend a pulpit
nor address worshipful throng.
Mrs. Sage is the widow of one of the
greatest wizards of finance that the
country has ever produced. She is,
herself, a business woman of unusual
ability and knows the value of money.
Sixty years or longer ago, there
was an account of $4,000 owed by
Sage to Ezekiel Oliphant Sage did
not pay the bill, and judgment was
rendered against him. Sage let the
matter go, not paying it, and now
this bill has grown, by reason of the
addition of interest. to $4,000.
Sage and Oliphant are both in
their graves, but Mrs. Sage has volun-
tarily called the matter to the at
tention of her attorneys who have de-
termined that Sage really owed Oil
plant the money.
AS soon as these facts were report
ed to Mrs. Sage, she promptly had
her accountants figure up the inter
ests and has ordered the payment to
the heirs of Oliphant, the sum of
$4,000, thus discharging the out
lawed account.
Examples of such extreme business
honesty are to a certain extent rare,
but are becoming of more frequent
occurrence. There is reason to hope
that some day actual honesty, as a
matter of principle, will prevail in
business practice.

HOW GOVERNOR HUGHES
FATHER QUITE SMOKING

The father of Governor Hughes of
New York is a Baptist minister.
When he was young man in college,
and even after entering the ministery
he smoked considerably, but finally
decided that for preacher to smoke
was not proper. After numerous at
tempts to limit his indulgence he con-
Guided that the only way was to give
it up entirely. How he came to this
decision is told in his own words,
quoted in the New York Christian Ad-
vocate. We read there:
| began to smoke when | was l 6 CT
II, and during my college life l in
prayer meetings at 6 O'Clock in those
days. Before each meeting and be-
fore I went to my classes l had to
have my smoke.
After my ordination to the ministry
| thought that it was ipcongruous foi
minister to set the example of smok-
ing to the young men of his congre.
cation. I gave it up again and again
but I always returned to it, because |
had tried to give it up of my own
strength.
Finally | had promised my congre-
cation | would give up smoking except
with my friends. Some time after
this my father-in-law came to visit
us, and | was very glad, indeed, be-
cause | could sit down and smoke
three times a day with him. One
day I went upstairs, expecting my
father-in-law, who was downstairs, to
follow me shortly. | filled my pipe
and began to smoke, but father-in
law didn't come.
| smoked on and on, expecting him
but feeling rather uneasy about smok-
ing while he was downstairs. | sat
down with my open bible near me.
While I was filling my pipe mechani-
cally, my eyes came upon verse in
the Bible. 1t was: Whatsoever We
do, whether We eat or drink, do all
for the glory of God"
1t came to me like voice from
heaven. I said, 81 don't smoke for the
glory of God. | had never realized
that smoking was a sin. | know that
it was a sin now. | vowed I would
never touch tobacco again until I
could do it for the glory of God /
have never had the slightest desire
for tobacco from that day to this.

Those who have had no practical
experience in mining will make a
great mistake if they do not employ
a competent engineer to plan con-
struction and development, design
mills and other important matters
about a mine. Failure to do this
the novices relying wholly on their
own Judgment and business sagacity
has resulted in large loss, not once
but many times in the past The
business of mining cannot be learned
in a day nor in year. 1t costs some
men a great deal to find this out

capitalists of being fools, SO the as

Four Hundred Versions.

1t will astonish. many people to
know that the Bible is now trans
lated and read in 400 different
tongues. w. G. Fitz-Gerald relates
in the October Harper's Magazine
how this vast undertaking has been
accomplished. 1t has cost many
lives and millions of dollars. In adj
dition to the first cost of translating
there is the expense of revising. The
last revise of the Madagascar Bible
cost $15. 900. and $15O,0O0 was paid
to DR.. William Carey and his staff for
the Serampore Version of the Bible
in Hindostani. There are 1000 lin
GUSTS continually employed by the
British and American societies which
have this work in charge. Mr.. Fitz-
Gerald explains how the translating
is done, and what difficulties have to
be surmounted by the heroic men
who devote their lives to this labor.

About the most absurd idea ever
advanced by those who fancy that
capital and labor should be antago-

in conspiracy to create an artificial

loanable funds to make money by

them of an opportunity to profit
