DO NOT EXPECT STRIKE.
r. r. Man Believes Few Engineers in
Northwest Will Quit.

81 do not feel the least bit alarmed

while the engineers in some regions
may decide to strike in an effort to
force the companies to grant the in

fident that many of the engineers i'm

"A st. Paul paper reports that the
railroad men in that and nearby cit
les do not feel apprehensive. The en-
gineers of st. Paul and the Minnesota
cities did not ballot on n strike, but
voted to give the committee in Chicago
full authority to act in the further ne
gotiations with the managers commit
tee. II is said that owing to the sharp
rivalry between the members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Engineermen the engin-
GERS will not risk a strike.
'I understand that the officials of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS in the st. Paul district admit that
the giving of authority to the commit
tee to take the necessary steps to set
tie the controversy means that the
committee can call a strike, but 1t is
not regarded as an aggressive measure
by the Engineers, but rather as pre-
cautionary one. The engineers seek a
1875 per cent salary increase and the
roads have offered n 6 per cent in
crease. The strong feeling existing
between the members of the two
brotherhoods is due to the fact that
many of the firemen, on becoming
engineers. have remained in the fire.

the engineers organization, on account
of the lower rates Of insurance. This
has led to many controversies between
the members of the two organizations,
and many of the enginemen believe
that some of the younger engineers
who are sticking to the Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, would be
glad If the older engineers would
strike. as il would surely be to their in
dividual interest, probably putting
many of the older engineers on the
shelf"

ANNUAL HIGHWAY
REPORT Is ISSUED
STATEMENT BY COMMISSIONER
ROGERS SHOWS THAT PROG.

The most important report ever is-
sued by the state highway commission
and report issued for the first time
to just precede the session of the leg
islature. was distributed on Saturday
morning.
Former reports have always been
made In calendar years and as a re-
SUIT were never away from the print
ers until the legislatorial sessions were
Wen along. The present report is real
~ double jointed affair. 1t gives
a history of the departments work
from Dec. 81, 1908, TO July /, 1910. as
well as the annual report from July
l, 1909 to June 80, 1910. Succeeding
reports will cover the same fiscal wear.
According to the 1910 report, state
reward was paid on approximately
1871 miles of road, about equally divid-
ed between stone, macadam and gravel.
During the same length of time the
department received applications for
reward for 292 miles of road. From
the organization of the department to
the beginning of the last fiscal year
341.09 miles of state reward road were
built, $254,126 paid and total of S261.-
1865 reward money was still pending.
Last year 204.37S miles were con-
structed and $137.327 paid in rewards.
One of the principal features of the
report which is filled with interesting
tables. is the table which shows lust
exactly what each township did in
state reward road construction last
season as we'll as the coney expended
and received.

The report contains dozens of photos
of good roads in different stages of
construction.
The heavy work Of preparing the
work was performed by Chief Clerk

inspected the report, declare it is by
far the most valuable publication the

Laurium Department
lAURIUM STILL LARGEST
VILLAGE IN The STATE

1t is practically certain that the viii
lage Of Laurium will retain the dis
tinction of being the largest village
In point of population, in the state OF
Michigan, for another four years
Laurium has now held that distinction
for more than ten years. and the cen
sus figures published in The News
show a remarkable growth during tho
last ten years. When the last state
census was taken six years ago the
three largest villages I'm the state were
located in the copper country, Laurium
with 1853 people, Houghton with A.
345, and Red Jacket with 1884 Since
then, Houghton's proportion of gain
has not been as large as Laurium
and ii is certain that the village of Red
Jacket has not out-stripped it's big
neighbor. Unless some village in the
state whose figures have not yet been
published has shown a miraculous
growth, Laurium is certain to, main
tain its present rank, at least unit
the next state census.
When a representative of The News
gave President Reynolds his first init
nation of the census figures yesterday
he seemed very much pleased. He
stated that Laurium would have made
a much better showing, had the en-
umeration\ been made six months pre-
vious as he felt confident that a large
number Of families had left the village
before the work was commenced
President Reynolds was inclined {,
think that S,537 gives Laurium a We y
good rating and expressed the thought
that il would not require long for tho
village to pass the 10000 mark, provii-
ed business conditions show the Ck-
pected Improvement.
Other businessmen seemed wei
pleased with the census figures, which
show a net gain of 51.f4 per cent dur
ing the last ten years. Some expressed
IA slight disappointment having ex-
pected that the census figures would
show Laurium's population to be above
the 5000 mark. However, the dis
appointment was not general and the
businessmen as a whole seem well sat
isfied with the growth of the town as
giving evidence of its future

RAILROADS MAY
CONTEST TAXES
LITTLE INDICATION OF RELIEF
AT COMING SESSION OF THE
STATE LEGISLATURE. MAY
FIGHT PAYMENT.

While it is well known that the rail-
roads propose to present to the legis-
lature a mass of data to show that
their property is not assessed fairly
and equally with other property, there
are those who are wondering what the
pext step by the corporations will ~,
in view of the fact that the legislature
cannot very well relieve them from
paying another tax on the same basis,
even If the lawmakers are so inclined.
The state tax commission is at pres
ent at work ascertaining the total as
sessed valuation OF general property
In the state, and the total taxes asses
ed. The figures determine the tax
rate which will be used to assess the
property of the railroads and telephone
and telegraph companies the first of
the year. The tentative assessment
has to be completed, under the law by
the fifteenth of January, and the legis-
lature will hardly be acquainted with
the way to their seats by that time,
which indicates the corporation will
not secure relief by that method. at
least, for another year.
1t is well known that last spring the
railroads seriously considered institu-
ting legal proceedings against the tax
es as assessed. but finally decided to
defer action. A little later the tele-
phone companies began suits, which
are still before the courts, and some
state officials surmise that along with
n strong showing to the legislature
that general property is not assessed
up to the standard of corporation
property, the railroads will announce
a determination to contest in the
courts the tax assessed against their
properties.
