Rumors Of general advance of 10
per cent on all freight rates and steel
products have been heard without pro-
test. as the iron trade is willing to
make any reasonable concession to inn
prove the financial condition of the
railroads and encourage the placing of
orders, Railroad buying during the
past week has been very limited.
IL Is now estimated that about 20. :
900, 600 tons of iron ore are on docks
and in the furnace yards. and conser-
vative lake interests are using their
influence TO prevent starting of the
boats until About June 1, IL is gener-
ally recognized that the lake move
ment will be small as compared with
recent years. and that early activity
will probably result in reduction of
freight rates and lowering of wages of
all employees on the lakes, result
which both employers and employees
are exceedingly anxious to avoid.

when the liquor dealers Of that village
were brought up for a hearing before

the saloon keepers had engaged Hon.
M. II. Moriarty to handle their side OF
the case and Mr.. Moriarty insisted mp
on the prosecution showing its hand SO
tie case went to hearing
Four young men between the ages Of
20 to 20 years were on hand as witness
es. These young men are members of
the Swedish church at Stambaugh and
had made the rounds OF the saloons on
Sunday Feb. 20.
But one witness, young man named
Benson. was examined. He testified
that he is 23 years OF age and that he
has lived in Stambaugh about three
months where he holds position as
carpenter at one Of the mines He is
not citizen of this country having
lived here but five years. his former
residence being Youngstown. Ohio.
He stated that he and his companions
entered the saloon of Hainhold on the
Sunday morning in question by the
back door. He didn't know Hainhold
but heard tell of him. Hainhold was
not in the saloon but the bar tender
was there and there were a number of
men there drinking. He and his com
panions simply entered. looked around
and went out.
When the testimony was completed.
Mr.. Moriarty announced that the
defense would waive further examina-
tion in all OF the cases and the defen-
dents were placed under bond of 5000
to appear at the next term of the cir
cult court.

At the suggestion of some Of our

took up the matter Of agitating cut
ting loose from the Falkeneau people
and the issue rests right there. Shall
they be allowed TO come backi
Mr.. Corcoran certainly will get a
dollars worth OF return for every dol
lar spent and he says that he will not
stand for any such foolishness as has
been going on.
Mr. Webb says that he favors get
ting rid OF the Falkeneau people after
paying them what the city owes them,
another payment Of the bonus money
having come due since work was sus-
pended
In addition 70 the waterworks ques-
tion two other very important matters
a'e up for settlement by the next adj
ministration
One is the settlement with the sewer
contractor who claims that changes
ordered by the sewer committee, from
the original plans upon which the bid
was made have made him an extra
expense of 80. OoO He has placed the
claim in an attorneys hands for col
lection with instructions TO bring suit
against the city.
The other matter in the Kimball
Judgement Through farce comedy
OF one act at the last term Of the cir
cult court. Ray Kimball secured a
judgement against the city for $3.50.
To this must be added $500 extra attor-
ney fees paid ont at previous hear
ing. or 81, 100 that the Kimbal case
has cost the city TO date. The council
acted at its last session as IL a new
trial Is desired IL is understood that
the judgement secured against the city
settles the matter only up to the time
suit was commenced. Mr.. Kimball
has the opportunity to come in year
after year for subsequent damages and
it is up to the council to settle up this
matter and settle IL in way that It
will stay settled.
These are the matters at issue The
