HAVE THREE DRILLS WORKING NEAR
CITY LIMITS
ORE PRICES FIXED FOR SEASON
Alta Conference OF Producers ia New
York Last Thursday Review Of Iron
Market.

The dull times have not interfered
with the exploring program of Corrigan
Mckinney a. Co. In fact they are
working more drills in this vicinity
now on exploratory work than before
the slump
Their work Is confined so far TO the
territory adjacent to the city and lying
between the Kimball mine and the
Tobin mine and when they get through
punching holes in that locality they
will nave pretty clear idea Of just
what the territory Is worth.
IL is understood that one find has
been met with ia their work so far and
thoy are in hopes of striking another,
But, the most.signihcant thing about
the work is that IL is deep work and
the ore that they have found was cut
at depth far below the figure hereto
fore set as the one at which ore bodies
la this vicinity cut ont. The impor-
tance OF this upon the future Of the
district cannot bee estimated as IL
gives IL permancy and life tenure
commensurate with that OF the Mar
quette range which is yet in IT'S prime
Notwithstanding that il has been work
ed for over halaf century.

LUMBER BUSINESS
HELPED BY SNOW
Loggss Are All Rushing in Product
While II Lasts.
J LOG PRICES ARE AWAY DOWN
Pickup Pine Commands Lower Price
Than for Many Years - Hardwood
Cut Is Small

The snow storm OF last Sunday and
Monday has helped the logging business
In Iron county wonderfully. A few
Of the larger jobbers were hauling, be-
fore the snow came. ON ice roads but
the most Of them we're waiting for
snow. This condition was especially
true with the small jobbers whose
ontbut was not sufficient 10 warrent
the big expenditures of an ice road.
This season has been the most re-
markable one we have had for twenty
years Not enough snow fell previous
10 last Sunday to haul u single laod Of
logs on but the sRidding chances were
excellent Most of the loggers improv-
cd the opportunity 20 get their logs up
ready for the snow but as the beautiful
held off for so long a time many got
frightened and broke camp preferring
to await snow rather than take chances
Of piling up logs and not getting sutfi-
cient snow 10 haul them on.
The log crop in this vicinity will be
small this year owing TO the drop both
in price and demand. While the hard
wood logs are holding mp fairly well
in price, especially the Eastwood, elm
and birch. the demand is very limited,
buyers not caring to quote prices at all.
The woodenware companies are the
only ones talking buy these days and
they are not loading up very heavily
The greatest drop occurred in pickup
pine and windfall pine. This com
modify was in brisk demand for several
years past hut this year the lumber
concerns don't want that GLASS OF tim
ber and wnen they do buy II is at
prices rediculously low
WindfaIls commanded price OF from
si2 10 Si5 last year, this year from IS
to 81 90 Is the best tnat can he secured.
Another feature OF logging opera
tions that Is getting more and more
the rule as the years go by and the
timber thins out is the close cutting
OF the lands. When.-as logger gets
through with piece Of property these
days there is nothing left on the land.
The large timber goes into logs the
small timber into wood or mining tim
ber. the second growth into tagging,
etc, etc
Even the large lumber companies
have changed their program and are
seeking TO utilize every stick that will
make any useful article

TEACHERS
DID MEET

Tuesday evening at the general
teachers meeting, the work was con-
cluded in Phelps and His Teachers.
Our teaching force has beeh greatly
benefited by this practical study in
pedagogy. We believe that we have
one of the finest corps of teachers
to be found anywhere. yet we feel
that We have receievd a great uplift
in our professional ideals by study
ing this book. We quote the follow
ing from an outline which moy be
said to sum up the whole question:
A teacher may ask herself, do
carry sunshine? Am l pure gold?
Do I believe in honesty? Can my
heart be read? Is it right? Am l
what l pretend? Am credit or an
ornament to the profession? Does
wreck and ruin of mind and soul fol-
low my work, or will the touch of
my hand, the light of my eye and the
impulse of my heart yet linger where
| they will bring warmth, and light,
| and joy, and triumph into the lives
of those whose fates have been linked
with mine?"

MARRIED HER OWN BROTHER

II married my brother. 1 didn't
know he was my brother" sobbingIy
declared Mrs. Augustus Reske, in a
court in Cleveland. Ohio, Tuesday
afternoon. She is the mother of two
boys, aged and 3.
The widow was tesuifying in the
probate court where question of the
guardianship had arisen. Finally
both boys were turned over to the
Humane society.
Mrs. Reske, who is 30 years old,
told of her adoption by August Wolfe
who took her to Cheboygan, Mich.
Six years ago she said, she met Aug
ust Reske in a Cleveland amusement
park.
I'VE fell in love and we married
in Canton, Ohio" she said. II gave
my name as Lena Rebeck. 1 did not
know he was my brother-I don't
know it now.''
Her story was vouched for by her
mother and Wolfe. The mother said
she came to the United States in 1888
with the two children, and gave the
daughter to Wolfe, who took her to
Chcboygan, whence she was sent to

A VICTORY GAINED.

A very notable victory for scien-
tific farming in Colorado was won
last Saturday night, when n large
part of the Colorado fruit crop was
saved from destruction by frost. The
good work consisted first in the frost
bulletins that were sent out from the
United States weather stations by
means of which the farmers learned
of the coming danger, and second by
the maintenance through the night of
extensive smudges, by which the
cOldness of the air was abated and
its injurious effects lninimized.
There is no longer any doubt that
these smudges may be of very great
benefit to fruit growers under these
conditions. and they are likely to be
used even more generally in the fti-
ture than they have been in the past.
Certainly these persons that have
lost their crop through neglect, while
the orchards of their neighbOrs re-
main uninjured, have only themselves
to blame for ignorance or laziness.-

Tom 0'Keefe, Widely Known as
Chicago Sporting Man, Found
"a Suicide in Salem
EMPLOYED BY BIG POLITICIANS
Came to the Voltz Farm in the Town
Of Salem Last Friday and Hanged
Himself With Piece of Bin
der Irvine on Tuesday

i Tom O'Keefe, widely known among
sporting men Of forty years ago and
ian employe of Powers and 0 'Brien, one
of the big wholesale liquor houses of
Chicago, hanged himself at the farm Of
Gus Voltz in the town of Salem on
Tuesday during fit Of insanity.
| % 'Keefe was IS years of age and is
said to- have been widely known in
| Chicago. He had been in Salem but a
few days when he decided to end a
long period Of illness by hanging him
self to a little tree in an Obscure cor
ner of the Voltz farm. The be ly was
found by men at work on the farm on
Tuesday afternoon and taken to Will
mot where an inquest was held, DR..
H. G. Darby acting as deputy coroner.
A verdict of suicide while deranged
was returned and the remains of the
unfortunate man were shipped to Chi
cago where they will be buried tomor-
row by his friends.
O'Keefe had been quite a character
about Chicago for years and much of
his time he had been employed by the
o 'Brien Company. Six weeks ago he
became i'll and showed signs Of failing
mentally and the members Of the firm
for which he had worked arranged to
have him brought to Salem on last Fri
day. Mr.. O 'Brien himself accompanied
O'Keefe to Salem. and remained with
him for several days.
Later it had been arranged to take
the man to hospital at Lake Geneva,
but he had shown so much improvement
at the Voltz farm that on Monday it
was decided to leave him there and the
Chicago party who had brought him to
Salem returned to Chicago. Early
Tuesday morning O'Keefe went out
from the house stating that he was 60
ing to take walk about the farm. He
went over to one of the fields and find
ing little tree only few inches taller
than he was, he made moose out of
piece of binder Irvine and hanged him
self. He had been dead for some time
when the remains were discovered.
O'Keefe seemed to be IN the best spirits
in the morning, but it is thought that he
had carefully planned his suicide and
that he had assumed this cheerfulness to
prevent the other men at the farm sus-
pecting his plans.
Nothing is known Of the private life
of O'Keefe among the people at Will
mot
