individually they are friendly TO many
who were in charge of the entertain

The affair will undoubtedly reach

The deed is genuine. It was drawn

Birch Wood For Ties

Experiments conducted by the

Northern railroads in Minnesota have
brought out the fact that birch, wnen

can be utilized for ties Before the
completion of this chemical test. birch
was regarded as an unfit wood for rail
road construction, not proving imper
vious to the rotting elements Of frost
and rain

made practicable for railroad ccnstruc-

price upon this timber and to increase
greatly the demand for its use. Many
tracts of birch in the northern woods.

in value with the general use Of the
timber for ties, and il is suggested that

The recent disturbances in the

trade, but there has been no general
decentralization or alarm. In regard TO
the Westinghouse and other interests
which have been placed in the hands
of receivers, the prevailing feeling is
that they will work ont Of their diff
entities without loss TO any one. While
no one attempts to belittle the splendid
services which have been rendered BY
men Of large capital in supporting the
stock market and financial institutions,

The question of suspension of work

After the special meeting last week,

matter to the home Office at Chicago
and got reply telling him to keep at

make what arrangements are made.
This settles the matter 80 far as the

Owing to-the financial stringency Of
the present time the city finds it al
most impossible to get loans from banks
TO continue the work, All banks must
protect themselves against runs and to
that end they are boarding their cash
and loaning only in comparatively
small amounts and on gnilt edge paper
II is due to that fact, more than to
anything else that the city finds itself
pressed for cash at the present time
Small amounts to pay up Indebtedness

ing and the board found it necessary
to close the schools for couple of days
until the trouble was adjusted.
The reason for the teachers action
was criticism in local paper at Iron
River on the actions Of the six teachers
involved in going hunting on Sunday
afternoon. AS the story is told the
six teachers, in company with some Of
the prominent Young men Of Iron River
