UNIFORM BILL OF LADING.
Dream of American Commerce Is
About to Be Realized.

Chicago, June PA binding
agreement between shippers and the
railroads, the dream of American
commerce, in the form of uniform
agreed upon. Representatives of the
commercial interests and all the trunk
lines of the country have settled upon
the form of the new bill and the inter-
state commerce commission has con-
Cured. 1t will be submitted for the
ratification of the railroad and COM
merciaI interests of the country early
in July.
The effect of the ratification will be
to make the new bill of lading a part
of the interstate commerce law The
shippers then will have the thing for
which they have clamored for the last
decade railroad receipt binding on
the carriers. The negotiations have
been thus far carried on by railroad
representatives and members of the
board of directors of the Illinois Man
ufacturers' association and the Ameri-
can Shippers association.
The new bill will hold the initial
road and its connections liable for
shipment from the time it is delivered
to the company until it is delivered to
the consignee at it's destination.
The Illinois Manufacturers asso-
citation and the American Shippers

mission for three years The condi-
tons were agreed upon at con-
ference May and 25 in Chicago The
conditions were placed before the in
terstate commerce commission with
the view of having them incorporate
into a law that would be mutually pro-
tectfve and it was agreed that a draft
of the bill of lading and conditions
would be submitted to the railroads
and commercial interests of the coun-
try early in July.

members with lantern and meeting on
the corners. it has grown to an organ

That ST. Paul Extension.

.'Will the Milwaukee road build to
Iron River this year is question
that Is being frequently asked about
town these days. Some profess to
know that il will build; others are
equally as certain that IL will not. The
probabilities are that neither side
knows very much Of the real facts In
the case.
All that Is known TO certainty is
that there is no move being made
about here to get ready for grading.
The same Is true of the contemplated
spur 10 the Kimball mine which was
surveyed before the Iron River extern
sion.
The retrenchment policy, announced
by Pres Earling, Is said TO be the
reason for the delay in the building OF
the road
IL ia the consensus OF opinion OF
those in official positions in the Mil
waukee road that the extension will be
taken mp later In the summer.

Deals at Length With the Power Plant I'M
provements- Treasurer's Bonds
Boosted.

The first meeting Of the new council
or rather the old council with a new
mayor, was held last Monday evening
and proved TO be very interesting.
Mayor Webb read his message and II
was well accepted for IL is as able
paper as has ever been presented. The
message is given in full below.
The chief work of the council was
the selection OF an assessor and the hx-
ing of bonds.
James G. Wilkinson was appointed
assessor by Mayor Webb and the ap-
pointmei.. was unanimously ratified by
the council. Mr. Wilkinson was asses
sor once before under ex-Mayor Cor

auired of the county treasurer. Last
wear the city treasurer's bonds were
set at $50, 600 There will be httie
more money on hand after the hrst OF

MORE DRILLS PUT
AT WORK NEAR CITY
TWO ADDITIONAL MACHINES PLACED
ON THE HENNIPeN LANDS.
ONE NEAR THE wOOOENWARE
Ore Shipments slightly lnteriered With by
the Recent Cold Snap-Stesm
Shovels Working.

Additional diamond drills were plac-
cd at work during the week by the
Corrigan- Mckinney people on the lands
of the Hernipen Iron company between
this city and the Tobin mine. One
drill has been at work on these lands
for about year and two others nave
been ordered there in hopes OF more
quickly proving up the property
One Of the new drills will be located
close 10 the woodenware factory and
those acquainted with that locality ex-
pect some important developments.
A drill has been working in the
swamp about quarter OF mile 10 the
south west for nearly year and 1t is
said that the showing at that point is
very encouraging.
ORE SHIPPING INTERPRETED WITH
The heavy snow storms OF the past
two weeks have interfered somewhat
with the shipping Of ore from this
point and also with the arrival OF boats
at the ore docks The bay at Escanaba
was full of ice early in the week and
but few boats were arriving.
The tracks about the several mines
were badly blockaded and the switch
engines had much difficulty in moving
the loaded cars However, shipments
were continued right through and
fair sized output was maintained.
STEAM SHOvELS WORKING
The Corrigan Mckinney company
put two shovels in commission this
week, one at the Crystal Falls and the
other at the Dunn mine. There is a
fair sized stockpile at each OF these
properties and Il will take couple Of
months TO clean them all up.
The shovels are in charge of Tom
Penglase and Anthony Broad, who are
retained the year around by this com
pany to attend to the shovel work.
The Bristol shovel is also working so
that shipment from the Crystal Falls
district during the month of May will
be heavy.
THE DUNN
An accident delayed work at this
property couple of days during the
week The brakeman in hosting ore
mistook the distance and shut of his
steam too soon so that the skip was
afonned within abont tan feet of the
dump.
In starting the skip again too much
power was used and the skip pulled
into the sheave wheels which were dis
placed and the settings twisted The
rope broke letting the skip fall TO the
bottom again else the entire shaft
house would have been pulled out OF
position
The damage was repaired rapidly
and hoisting is again in progress.
