SENT A DELEGATE
TO MARQUETTE
SUPERVISOR ED. SCOTT TO REPRE-
SENT The CoUNTYAT
THE TUBERCULOSIS CONFERENCE
Claims Allowed and Treasurer instructed
to Make Twenty Per Cent Of
Checks Payable in Cash

The county board of supervisors held
an adjourned meeting at the court
house last Saturday at whicn the claims
that had accumulated during the
month were allowed.
The only really new business that
came up was the selection OF a delegate
to represent the county at the confer
ence called TO meet at Marquette to
talk over ways and means OF checking
the spread of tuberculosis in the upper
peninsula.
The matter came before the board
upon communication from the Mar
quette supervisors and the chair was
instructed to appoint such delegate.
The chair appointed Supervisor Ed
ward Scott Of Iron River TO that posi-
tion.
Another matter, brought up by the
financial condition throughout the
country at the present time was re-
solution adopted requiring the treasur.
er to stamp each check payable eighty
per cent in exchange The reason
for this is to save the cash in the com
munities here and at Iron River from
being drawn down through the pay
ment Of public monies and is in line
with the general practice throughout
the country at the present time.

United States Marshal We'll came
to Florence last Tuesday morning and
served a warrant upon Fred Il. Olin,
u leading merchant of this city, charg-
ing the latter with having violated the
provisions of the Lacey act. federal
law which prohibits the shipping OF
protected game from one state TO an
other.
''It appears that n quantity Of ven
ison was shipped from Florence to a
commission firm in Chicago last Janu-
airy. the meat having been packed in
barrels and marked hides and tallow.
The stuff was promptly seized and CON
fiscated by an Illinois game warien
upon its arrival in Chicago and the
matter was reported TO the government
authorities. One OF Mr.. Olin's Shipping
tags was found upon one OF the barrels
and his indictment by grand jury
followed
''Mr. Olin, accompanied by his at
torney. Max Sells, left for Milwaukee
Tuesday nighs and the former was arr.
Aligned before Judge Quarles in the
u. s. District Court upon the follow
ing day. Mr.. Olin entered plea OF
not guilty TO the indictment and was
released upon bonds TO the amount OF
$500 The case will probably be called
mp during the January term Of court.
"As this is the first alleged violation
OF the Lacey act, the case has attracted
considerable notice and has been given
widespread publicity by the press Of
Milwaukee. Mr.. Olin's Florence
friends are confident however. OF his
ability TO completely vindicate himself
when the proper time arrives.

OF the law referred to is 5000. De.

CHILD FELL DOWN SHAFT
Little Son oiWm. Cole Fell TO Bottom of
No. 2, Western Shaft

One OF the saddest accidents that has
happened In the Crystal Falls district
in many a aay happened at the Great
Western mine yesterday morning when
Connie Cole, -year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs VIM. Cole. fell from sur
face to the bottom of No. shaft at
the Great Western a distance OF
500 feet.
The little fellow and his brother was
playing about the shaft rolling pipe
back and forth 10 one another. Connie
was standing with his back TO the
shaft and in stepping backward trip
ped and fell over into the shaft
he fell the entire distance Of 500 feet
and was observed by the powder man
who happened to be close 10 the shaft.
He reported that something had fallen
down the shaft and Abraham Boorman
went down and picked up the little
boy He carried him 20 the pump
house where Mr.. Cole was at work
wholly ignorant OF the terrible event.
II believe this is your boy, said
Boorman as he carried him to Mr..
Cole. The latter looked at the little
fellow and recognized him. He was
not badly dis6gured, a bad cash in the
back Of the head being the only wound.
Mr.. Cole took the little fellow to sur
face where the alarm had already be en-
given by the other boy.

WORK RESUMES AT
THE SOUTH DUNN
BUFFALO PEOPLE HAVE FINE OUTFIT
TO DO BUSINESS.
IRON MARKET IS BETTER
Recent CurtaiImerts Of Output Have Caus'
ed Better Feeling All Around in the
Iron World.

Work was resumed at the South
Dunn last Tuesday morning with Cen
eral Manager Geo. Woodwork in i'm
mediate charge and things are being
pushed out there.
Last week we mentioned the suspen-
sion OF work there but IL developes that
the reason for suspension was the poor
crew that had been assembled and the
determination of the explorers to await
the coming of a new crew
Mr.. Woodworth came over from Iron
River on Monday evening and got a
crew at work Harry McDermott is TO
take charge OF the work lust as soon as
he can be spared at the Monroe.
The machinery that this concern is
putting out at the South Dunn is new
and first class in every way. The boil
ers are locomotive boilers just from the
shops while a new air compressor has
been on the cars at the North Western
depot this week waiting to be hauled
out to the loation.
Several temporary buildings are be-
ing erected to take care of the men and
the machinery.
THE ARMENIA.
It Is learned that the new order Of
things at this property will necessitate
the building OF the railroad tracks OF
the Milwaukee road in an entirely diff
erent quarter The ore deposit at the
Armenia lies along where the Milwau-
kee tracks are at the present engine
house and the old shaft will be aban-
doned and that portion Of the.surface
let down into the mine
The Milwaukee road will take mp the
entire Lee Peck line from the junction
in and viii use the present Holister
mine spur for the Armenia service.
At the Hollister the tracks will be
jointed between the Northwestern and
the .Milwauke and the latter will use
the old grade TO point about due
north Of the Armenia where a siding
will be built running mp to the shaft
house that Will be used for hoisting
purposes

CHASE THEIR OWN FIXTURES.
A : GENERAL RETRENcHMtMT
No More Light win be Put on and Every
OncThat Can be Topped of Will
so-OflieaI Proceedings.

The council took drastic step to-
wards retrenchment at Its meeting last
Monday night and every expense that
could possibly be cut out got the knife.
The greatest amount OF pruning was
done to the electric light and water de-
partment where-one man was ordered
let go and the clerk and superintendent
instructed not TO furnish or purchase
any more supplies for private use in
wiring houses.
II has been the practice In the past
for the city to purchase the supplies for
wiring the private houses and the own
or of the property would pay the city
for the stuff and labor after the work
had been done. Hereafter persons de-
string their houses wired will have to
do the work themselves and buy their
own supplies
Owing to the overloaded condition Of
the dynamo the superintendent of light
and water WAS instructed not TO con-
meet any more consumers with the
plant and as fast as a house or light is
surrendered TO cut it out permanently.
This condition of affairs will regin un-
til the new dynamo is installed.
Only the local bills were allowed as
tho council is adverse to having any OF
its orders floating about unpaid.
The official proceedings are as fol-
lows;

attention for several years Last win
ter he came to the sioit course at
Ames with an exhibit of corn and won
t. grand championship for single
ear The ear Of corn was pronounced
the most perfect that had ever been
seen IL sold at public auction for
$780, a rate of over -. 900 bushel.
This ear in corn competition was as
outstanding as young Abbotsburn in
Shorthorn excellence. II was not
freak or an accident The same exhib-
itor, the same year, produced two other
ears. each good enough for grand
championship, with the first out of the
way. This young farmer. who got his
inspiration and higher ideals at the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition, has
sold seed corn to hundreds OF farmers
in Iowa and adjoining states, a num-
ber of whom have been winners at
promine ntshows.
This is a single insance of the value
of higher ideal in agriculture. There
are hundreds OF similar cases at each
recurrence of the International Live
Stock Exposition, though the results
may not be as striking as in this case.
When John Ruskin, the great creator
of higher art and ideals. was boy, he
often accompanied his father on his
travels. In visiting the great art gal
leries the father always preceded him
and selected the pictures representing
the higher types of art and took care
that the son did not see those OF infer
Tor grade The father was molding the
sons mental conceptions TO higher
ideals in art The result was that Rus
kin became the master mind OF his
time in his chosen field

tion affords the same high ideals in
agriculture Its value from year TO

dustry known to man. canuot be meas

come more potent, more practical and
more imperative with each succeeding
