SHIPPERS SHOWING
WATER IN R. R. STOCK

Washington. Dec, 15.-Figures
brought TO the attention of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission by the
shippers SOW that, at least in some
states, the claim that the roads pay a
good return on the real investment is
well sustained. Z
tn railroads of Texas, according
to physical valuation made by the
state railroad commission, have to-
tai property value of $212.794,5SG, and
a Capitalization of $412,465,743. If
this is accurate, the roads are now
having dividends, or trying TO, on out
standing securities nearly double the
physical value of their properties.
In Minnesota, it is alleged, the
ror IS have a value of $91, 6S5,1S2, and
Capitalization of S153 ,903,071. In
South Dakota the capitalization eX'
ceeds the actual value by S35,321,5O
and in Wise ,nsin by an amount little
less.
Despite these figures, counsel for the
railroads today insist that the water
ing" of stock is confined to n very few
roads. and that most systems are
really undercapitalized. The shippers
saw that good will" is an asset upon
which many railroads base stock is
sues. and that it will be lost if rates
are increased.

Crystal Falls Is to be given the same
opportunity that some of its larger
neighbors get each year Of buying lot
of new tall merchandise that has been
picked up at a bargain.
1t is the practice among larger mer-
chants to go into the city markets each
year and pick up lots of merchandise
that, for financial reasons. have been
thrown on the market at greatly re-
duced prices Enterprising merchants.
interested in giving their trade the
advantage of these bargains. generally

ceipt of such good and such sales have
always proved satisfactory.
Mr.. Mendelson went to Chicago last
week for sucn a purpose. He succeed
ed in landing large quantity of fall
goods. that were put upon.the market
at great reduction in price. The
goods ara now ON the way and will ar
rive and be opened and shelved during
the first few days OF next week.
On Friday he will open the big sale.
1t will be wholly on seasonable tall
goods that are strictly new. The sale
will last week during whicn time he
expects to move the entire lot OF goods.
This will be gala time for bargain

WILL START AT MENOMINEE NEXT
WEEK AND MAKE ROUNDS
OSBORN TAKING A NEEDED REST
viii Begin Final Campaign After the
Meeting Of the State Convention
October 6.

Lawton T. Hemans democratic can
didate for governor Of this state. will
tour the upper peninsula on speaking
campaign and will make his trip early
in the campaign. This will be re-
verse of Mr.. Hemans' program when
he was a candidate for the same office
two years ago. At that time Mr.. He
mans lett the upper peninsula until
the last week OF the campaign.
Mr.. Hemans will start his upper
peninsula canvass at Menominee ON the
eeth when he will address the voters
of that county. The following day hs
will be at Iron Mountain. On the 30th
he will be In Marquette. He will go
TO the copper country and to the Goge-
bic range but his intentions regarding
Iron county have not been given out
yet.
II Is understood that Mr.. Hemans
will make the principal Issue OF his
campaign the tonnage tax on iron and
copper ores. On this stand he will
have little sympathy in this section.
A tonnage tax would be especially
hurtful to the mines OF Iron county,
burdened as they are with much low
grade ores and expensive mining costs
The democrats are in good shape for
the campaign. During the heated
urinary canvass within the republican
party the democratic state central COM
mittee has been busy taking notes and
securing data for the canvass. Mr..
Hemans spent week at Lansing prim-
ing himself upon the tonnage tax ques-
tion.
In the meantime Mr.. Osborn Is on a
sailing cruise. resting for the strenuous
work that Is to come during the month
of October. A letter from his secre-
tary states that Mr.. Osborn will not be
back from his trip until about the time
OF the state convention. This conven-
tion will meet in Detroit on Oct. @ and
Immediately after that meeting the re-
publican campaign will begin and con-
tinue without interruption until the
day before election.
On the whole. il looks as IL Michi-
gan will see a campaign OF extra
warmth this fall. Mr.. Hemans pro-
poses to do vigorous work against Mr..
Osborn. Mr. Osborn is we'll prepared
to take care OF himself under any and
all circumstances.
1t is probable that the upper penin-
>sula will see more Of Mr.. Osborn dur
ing the campaign than IL did in the
primary election. Only his presence
in person is needed to wake up the
slumbering republi cans. sand rally them
TO his standard. The upper peninsula
should 90 to the straits with major
ity OF 80, 900 for Mr.. Osborn. Iron
county alone should roll up majority
of ., 500 for him and they will do 1t,
too, as there is no difference OF opinion
between the factions. the Kelley.
Townsend, Burrows and Musselmen
men are all one. and united for Chase

The meeting of the upper peninsula
gunners at Charming last Wednesday
was highly successful affair. About
100 shooters were attracted to the place
by the meet and every line of the bill
prepared by the Charming boys was
interesting.
The Munising cup, won last year by
the Cnanning boys. was captured by
the 500 club.
The rifle shoot was very interesting,
the surprise Of that event being the
showing of Wodsredalek of Charming
who was not known TO be much Of a
shot.
An interesting tie in the individual
shoot occurred between DIR. Hockinps,
of Crystal Falls. Capt. Patterson Of
the 500 and DIR. ..Desdman of Msrquet-
te. The three stood tie in the first
event. each with score of 90. They
shot off the tie. Desdmsn and Patter-
son getting 81 and Hockings 90. The
two highest shot again and were tie
with score OF "A. They agreed TO
stake all on one shot at target and
Patterson won by one point
Taken as whole the affair was
highly successful ana Messrs. Dun
woodie, Zimmerman, Boil and others
prominent In the Claiming club are
coming in for lots of nice praise.
