To Use Trap Rock.

Crystal Falls streets will be built of
trap rock shipped here from thewinona
mine, Houghton county.
This mine is located short distance
south OF Houghton on the Copper
Range railroad. The rock will be
shipped over the Copper Range and
Milwaukee roads 20 this city. There
will be over 1900 yards OF rock used
in the pavement so that several train
loads OF rock will have to be hauled
into this city before the Job IL com
pleted.
Il was the original intention 10 use
a diorite rock from the Marquette
range as the crushing equipment mere
is not sufficient to handle so much
rock. When Ii came TO ordering the
rock II was learned that switching
charge Of 81 per car would have to be
paid whereas no switching charge is
necessary in the Winona rock
OF late years there has been much
talk of shipping the trap rock from the
copper country to lower Michigan
points for the purpose of road making.
Mr.. Earle. when state highway com
missioner and later on when candi-
date for governor, put forth plan to
utilize convict labor in preparing this
rock tor road uses and advocated the
removal OF at least one OF our penal In
stitutlons to the copper country for
that purpose The scheme Was laugh
ed at by many but the fact that this
same quality rock is to be shipped here
foI road purpose indicates that the
scheme was not 30 wild after all.
Trap rock is considered the best rock
in the state for road purposes and this
fact will be welcome news to CRYSTAL
Falls people who are 40 desirous of get
ting the best there is for the money on
their streets The venture will un-
doubtedly be watched with interest
and may result in much more copper
country rock being shipped to distant
points.

NOMINATE NEXT SPRING

OF School Commissioners.

Attorney General Kuhn states in an
opinion. that as no provision is con-
tanned in the primary election law pro-
viding for the nomination OF commits
sioners of schools in the counties where
those officers are elected in the spring,
that the nominate ons could not be
made in the conventions this fall, al
though il was believed a spring con-
vsntion conld he avoided II this was
done.
To those who believed this the attor-
ney general said that delegates will
have to be chosen next spring to q state
convention 20 nominate Justice OF the
supreme court, and advised that the
commissioner be nominated at the time
the delegates are selected.
In another opinion he holds tnat the
county clerks or election commissioners
have no authority TO refuse TO place on
the primary ballot as candidate for
prosecuting attorney,a citizen who has
never been admitted to the bar. assert
ing that II is not the duty Of the cleo
tion officials to I,ass upon the qualitica
