II may seem strange To say that II
is always pleasant to visit the Ard
more Sanitarium Some people associ-
ate nothing but ideas of gloom and
suffering with a hospital. They do not
visit them often enough. 1t is good
merely to be thrown with those who
spend their whole lives in patiently
and unweariedly alleviating the pain
of others. in administering to suffer
ing. Part of the lack of appreciation
may be due to the feeling, "Oh well,
they get paid for IT, They make their
living out Of it, We are all making
our living, such as it is poor as the
pay may be measured by the work
done for It. out Of work, whatever II
is, but the man or woman who only
works for sake of pay does very very
poor work, and never rises TO the
height OF the best that could be done
II is a miserahly low groyeing heart
that can feel, after days or weeks OF
languishing in an hospital that the
mere money has paid for the service
received. There are some things fol
which there is no compensation, In
the opinion OF those who have any
noble feeling or appreciation, Care
in desperate Illness is one OF thes,
things.

At The Power Plant.

Work has progressed fairly well down
at the power plant this week although
the workmen are not much nearer sol
wing the problem OF the Golfer dam
than they were week ago. The clay
which was recently hauled in from
Mansfield has been put in between the
concrete wall and the Golfer dam Ia an
effort TO stop the leak.
A start was made 20 drill hole in
the base Of the concrete dam last week
but was discontinued the first of this
week and the workmen set TO work to
cut slice down the dam from the top.
In this manner the water was lowered
little.
The pump has worked about two
days In an effort 10 lower the water
back of the'cotfer dam but leaks In the
structure kept the water up pretty
well.

position on the construction work OF
the st. Paul road. Mr.. Murphy Is one
of the best ail-around railroad men in

monial of the estimation which his
employers put upon his services.
While he starts with construction work
IL is not probable that he will remain
at that work long, as new and impor-
tant positions are opening up rs fast

Mr.. Murphy has been in charge OF
the ore business here since the st. Paul
built into Crystal Falls and his leaving

not alone by the officials in charge of
the road here but by his neighbors,
friends and the mining companies and
other shippers in the vicinity whom
he has served well.

NEW TRIAL DENIED BAPTIST
Judge stone Rendered His DsssIon During
The WeeA

Judge stone advised the attorneys
on both sides of che Baptist case dur
ing the week that he had denied the
motion for new trial in this case,
which. by-the-way, was one Of the
hardest fought criminal cases ever
tried in Iron county--and that's not
stating IL exactly either, for while the
case belonged to Iron county IT was
tried in Dickinson county on change
Of venue from this county.
The case came up during the absence
Of Mr.. Watson at Lansing last winter
and Senator Moriarty, who was attend
ing to the ehnties of the prosecuting
attorney Office during Mr.. watson's
absence, handled the case from start to
finish. The nrst trial resulted in a
disagreement OF the jury. Mr.. Power
represented Mr.. Baptist and fought
hard for his client The case was re-
tried at the next term and Baptist was
convicted and sentenced 70 year or
more at Marquette branch prison.
Mr.. Power moved for new trial and
Judge Stone heard the arguments re-
Gently and took the case under advise
ment with the result as stated above.
This decision OF Judge Stone probably
settles the case bat the defendant is
given until the hrst day Of the next
term Of court to appeal 10 the supreme
court.
In the mean time Baptist is in prison
and will have vesy considerable por-
tion OF his term served by the time the
case could be heard in the supreme
court 20 that 10 is not likely that On
appeal will be taken.

WEEKS CASE AGAINST
City TO START AGAIN
ORIGINAL CASE WAS DROPPED
wssks clalras That ths CITY Owes Him
Abodt 10000 For Extras on The
Power Plant

81 have Just been notified from Chi
cago that the probate judge there
has directed the administrators OF the
Weeks estate to commence proceedings
over again against the city of Crystal
Falls, said Mr. Afford TO reporter
for the Diamond Drill the other day.
Upon being questioned further Mr..
Afford informed us that Mr.. Weeks
died recently and that in the probating
OF his estate the matter OF the suit
against Crystal Falls was taken up and
canvassed by Judge Cutting and that
the latter advised the immediate re-
starting OF proceedings to csllect what
is claimed TO be due him from Crystal
Falls city.
Mr.. Afford seemed to be quite inter
ested In the matter 80 we asked him II
he had any personal interest In the
case and he informed as that he has ;
that he has nearly ts. 600 due him from
the work.
II will be iememberd that Mr.. Weeks
refused TO settle upon the compromise
and that suit was started In the U.
s. circuit court at Marquette against
the city. When the case came TO trial
the suit was not prosecuted and the
action dropped.
City Attorney Abbott was asked for
an expression Of opinion upon the mat
ter but he had nothing to offer other
than that the original suit was dropped
and that when IL was so dropped the
attorneys for Weeks. Eldridge q Miller
Of. Marquette. stated that In their opin-
ion Weeks had not sufficient case 10 re-
cover. Mr.. Abbot has received no
notification Of the re-starting Of the
case.

The child accompanied its mother
up the river to pick berries and was

Mrs. Neuquist thought that she
would cross over to the other bank by
way OF the bridge and left the child
where he was. She changed her mind
after being out of sight OF the child
about five minutes and returned where
she had left him but he was not in
sight. She looked into the stream and
saw the child lying on the bottom Of
the river. the water being about i've

into the water but rolled 1t up 80 that

The Iron Market.
rhe Iron Trade Review says ,

The Iron Trade Review says,
Developments of the last weeK have
not been such as to justify exuberant
optimism. but the trend Of events is
still clearly in the right direction.
The statement of earnings OF the
United States Steel corporation reflects
the slow progress from the long period
Of depression. Corporation pig iron
stocks are being steadily reduced. In
the pig iron market New England is
still the most active section In the east
A leading virginian interest is storing
iron In anticipation OF an advance and
is about to blow in another stack.
''In the central west the transaction
which is attracting most attention is
the sale Of from 5000 TO 10. 600 tons TO
stove interests at Detroit at basis OF
about $1,000 delivered. Considerable
part Of the tonnage was for southern
iron.
Renewed activity in steel bars is
reported in the Chicago and Cleveland
district in the former the principal
producer has about 80, 00O tons on it's
books. including one order for IS. 900
tons taken this week, and in the Cleve-
land district orders aggregating 90. 600
tons have been placed.
The Iron Age says;
"A more cheerful tone peryades the
iron markets. even Pittsburg, for so
long the bluest spot in the country, de-
veloping some optimism. The volume
OF business taking IL as a whole. Is
slightly better. but prices still display
irreguIarity and In some branches are
even little lower. There mas been
some gain in the rate of operations.
since specifications are coming in more
freely, but mills are often forced TO lie
Idle for considerable periods TO wait
for the accumulation of sufficient speci-

others they are steady. Pittsburg re-
