BRECCER'S OFFER
ACCEPTED BY COUNCIL
NAMED PRICE ON flowAGe RIGHTS
ALONG MS LAND
CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS ON
Resolution Providing Tor the Commence
msnt Of the Work Passed by .
Unanimous Vote.

The city council and Ed. Bregger
have come to terms on the question Of
fiowage rights along the west bank OF
the Paint river. Mayor BJork had an
interview with Mr.. Bregger last Sat
urday and went over the matter very
carefully with him. Bregger finally
set his figures at $500 for past damages
and future fiowage rights on his two
lots.
Mr. Bjork considered the claim too
nigh but 10 was the best that the city
could get under the circumstances 80
he put the matter up to the cJuncill
meeting Monday evening and that
body consented TO pay Mr.. Bregger
provided the city attorney passes fav-
orably upon the title.
The council, In it's consideration OF
the matter, talked very freely. The
members considered that Mr.. Bregger
was asking more. than he ought to re-.
ceive but they felt far more kindly dis.
posed towards his claim than towards
kimbsll's. Mr.. Bregger's claim was
also viewed from another angle. Kim
ball, who has less land along the river
and has suffered less damage than
Bregger. has received $4,000 In damages
and stands to get more. Bregger has
refrained from starting any action at
law and has said that he would not
ask any damages unless Kimball was
awarded some. These facts served to
smooth matters out, also.
The question OF title is now in City
Attorney Abbotts hands and as soon
as he passes upon the matter the Breg.
ger claim will be settled.
MIR. Kimball was also sought by
Mayor Bjork and asked 30 make pro-
position OF settlement and he did 40.
He told Mr.. Biork that he is willing
to give the city perpetual right OF
howage for the sum of 81. 600 per year,

from the hand car house and broke a

A BIG ROUNDUP
Iron Mountain Officials Find Car Thieves
Living at Spring Valley

Iron Mountain Officials Find Car Thieves
Living at Spring Valley.
There has been CONSERVATION among
the uprighteous OF Palatka this week.
Sixteen OF the recently acquired citi-
zens OF that thriving community were
taken in hand by deputy sheriifs from
Iron Mountain and are now either Ian
gushing in the Dickinson county jail
or out on bail awaiting trial in the
next term OF the Dickinson county
court for the robbery of freight cars at
Iron Mountain.
AS nearly as we can learn these peo-
pie were residents Of Iron Mountain
and lived in the same boarding house
at that place at the time OF the freight
car robberies there. Recently the wo-
man who kept the boarding house
moved to Palatka and along with her
went her boarders.
During one Of the 'movings a box
OF overalls, identified AS having come
from the robbers cars, WAS found a.
mong the household effects and, start.
ing on that clew the detectives OF the
railroad unearthed the thieving plot
Men, women and children are i'm
plicated in the plot. Several trips
were made by the Dickinson officials
to Palatka and each time new batch
OF prisoners were taken down to Iron
Mountain.

Norway Has Big Iron Mines.

That foreign iron ore coming into
this country will no. affect the indus
try in America. at least tor number
OF years. Is the opinion generally held
by the best informed mining men Of
the Lake. Superior district. though "
Is evident that an increased tonnage OF
foreign ores will. from this time on,
be acquired by American furnace in.
terests. Ir is reported that the pro-
ducers OF iron ore in the foreign coun-
tries are making plans for an increased
output next year. and they hope TO
place "A greater quantity OF their ore
with American manufacturers than
ever before. At the time the tariff
was being considered by congress there
was much discussion as t) the probable
effect reduction in the ore tariff
would have on the iron industry OF this
region. II is now generally admitted
that ii makes little difference whether
the tariff Is tifteen cents or thirty cents
per ton. ~ the American ores. and
particularly those OF the Lake Superior
district. VIII continue to hold first
rank.
While 10 10 generally conceded that
the American producers will find the
Cuban iron ore mines their most active
competitors la the years to come,
Sweden will In all probability become
an important factor In the iron indus
try. as II has the largest proved iron
