FREIGHT CARS
 JUMP THE TRACK
BROKEN FLANGE IS RESPONSE BILE FOR EIGHT CARS HITTING
 THE DITCH.
Were Loaded With Coal, Sand, and Other Heavy Commodities, Which
 Contributed to the Accident.

A very heavily loa ld incoming freight train on the Iron Mountain railroad partly jumped the track early yesterday morning and eight of the cars piled up in wreck. The accident took place near Thoburn, seven miles from the city.
 The accident was occasioned by a broken flange on one of the car wheels, and the very heavily loaded cars was contributing cause of the accident.
 Three of the cars were heavily loaded with coal. another with sand. and all with very heavy commodities
 Nobody was injured in the wreck, and aside from the expense to the railroai and the slightly delayed traf fife, the incident will pass without notice.
 The second car behind the engine is the one that first jumped the track when the broken flange on q wheel caused it to leave the rails. The seven cars behind this one piled up but still there were several cars between the last one in the wreck and the caboose, where the train men were at the time.
 Immediately after the wreck a large force of men was put to work clearing up the debris so the line coull be opened as soon as possible.
 Although the accident was caused wholly by broken flange on one Of the car wheels. yet the incident Of another wreck is so magnified by an aftesnoon paper in attempting to force a personal issue with the road, that the announcement was made the railroad has already begun the pre- liminaries of very extensive improve ments which have been contemplat- ed for some time.

Will OPEN BRIDGE FOR
TRAFFIC TOMORROW NIGHT

President Gardner Rogers of the
Houghton County Traction companv
stated this morning that the Portage
lake bridge repairs win have been
completed by tomorrow night and tho
bridge will then be opened for team
traffic. The work has already pro-
ceeded so far that IL Is unnecessary III,
transfer passengers on the bridge any
more. and the usual schedule of street
cars was resumed today.
The Copper Range. railroad bridge
crew yesterday completed the work of
raising the highway span at the
Houghton end of the bridge. The
span was raised six inches. it having
sunk that much since the bridge was
re- built. At the time the bridge was
rebuilt the cylinders supporting the
span were raised six inches. making
raise of twelve inches at this end
since the bridge was built. The cause
of the sinking of the cylinders below
the other portions of the bridge can
not be ascertained, but il is thought
that the composition OF rock and mat
ter on which these supporting cylin-
deres rest has gradually given way
from the weight of the bridge.
Only a short stretch of bridge re-
mains to be covered with planking and
this will be completed by tomorrow
night.

20 FIGHT 2-csNT RATE.
c. s. Fales Of Cooper Range to Leave
for Lansing Sunday.

G. g. Falcs OF the Copper Range
railroad win leave for Lansing Sun
day afternoon to be present at the
legislature when the bill of Senator
James of Hancock is taken up by the
senate asking for two-cent rate
throughout Michigan. Representatives
from all the railroads in the state will
be present TO use their influence
against the passing Of the bin.
The chief argument against lower
ing the passenger rate to two cents a
mile is the great cost Of operating
railroads in tho upper peninsula. Snow
and ice is the principal item Of cost
i'm the winter. The monthly report of
the Copper Range railroad to the In
terstate Commerce Commission Is be-
ing prepared this week. This commits
sion prescribes a complicated and de-
tailed classification OF operating ex-
penscs and this data figures greatly
i'm the arguments for and against the
two-ccnt rate proposition. The month
w records of the Copper Range show
that the cost of removing snow for
the month Of January was very great
and that section hands employed reg
ularly i'm cleaning the switches, alone
cost the railroad $4,000. Besides this
item the operating expenses include
the fuel. from seven To eight tons be-
ing consumed each day by an engine
bucking the snow drifts. Stores. the
pay of labor, enginemen, the cost of
shoveling snow, the repairing of snow
plows. payments for use of land on
which to keep snow fences, the cost
of building portable snow fences,
Hanging. snow tools and other similar
items add to the cost of running "a
railway in the upper peninsula in the
winter.
There is much doubt about the out
come of the proposition and both par
ties TO the argument are working hard.

"Wnl skiing become a national pas
time i'm the United States repeated
Mr.. Hotter Most assuredlys We add
many clubs to our membership with
each year. The American people are
eager for results and as consequence
long jumps are finding a more promi-
ncnt place i'm American tournaments
/ than i'm those held In Norway. That is,
they are not contented with good form
alone in a ski jumping contest, they
want something more. they want long
daring leaps and the establishing OF
records. The nature of our people is
such that II demands first place in all
athletic sports, and they will support
anything in which there is a question
Of new records being established. while
they would soon tire of a performance
where good form would be the only
prcdominating feature"
In the Ishpeming tournament the
amateurs made nearly as good a per-
Torrance as the professionals, some
of the Ishpeming skiers ranking not far
from the best of the professionals.
Bareny Riley. the champion amateur
jumper, did not make an appearance,
having gone west in company with
Duluth jumpers TO put on a tourna-
ment in Montana.
There were no acrobatic perform
ances pulled off at the Ishpeming tsur-
nament. This was according to sug-
gestion made at the last national con-
vention by Mr.. Hotter His ideas on
this point are very decided: The turn
ing of somersaults or the doing of any
other fool tricks does not belong to
the ski sport and should not be en-
couraged. All associations in Europe
strictly prohibit this practice. Let us
keep to the true lines of a clean sport,
l say. and we will have the support Of
q sport loving public"
Trouble in Duluth.
John Evenson and ole Feiring, two
professional riders from Duluth, We're
entered on the program for the Ish-
peming meet but did not take part.
1t appears that Feiring and Evenson
were not given transportation to Ish-
peming by the Duluth ski club and
were only sent 10 Ironwood. Here they
were the instigators of resolutions
which was drawn up placing the Du-
luth club on the unfair roster and
boycotting the city Of Duluth in future
tournaments. The matter will likely
be settled by the national association.
