The decrease in the volume of new
business IN finished steel products since
the beginning OF February is overshsd
owed by the achievement of the selling
forces in January. The release of
many contracts that had been held
back last month provided specifications
for increased operations this month.
but thus far the new orders in Fsbru-
airy have been disappointing Keener
competition has developed in plain and
fabricated structural shapes and the
bulk OF the business has gone to inde-

Railroad work Of all kinds contracted
sharply last week. The only important
rail contract was 90. 600 tons for the st.
Paul. Chicago. Minneapolis 81 Omaha.
Most OF the other reports were merely

TAKES TO POSTAL BANK
Experiment at houghton is Proving TO be A
Big Success in Every Way.

Houshton was selected as the first
and only place in the State OF Michi-
gan to start the postal saving expert
ment and after months trial. those
having the matter in charge have pro-
nounced IL TO be success.
Ricnard Lang, postmaster at Hcugh-
ton. is outspoken in favor Of the bank.
He announces that the system is work
ing smoothly and that the volume of
deposits has surpassed all expectations.
Postmaster Lang withholds the figures
under instructions from the postmaster

menting in a general way on the bust =
ness of the bank
Deposits nave come in sums. ranging
81 IN 800. the minimum and maximum
amount which the law creating postal
banks premit Deposits by mail have
been very common. several Detroit
people sending in sums between $50
and 500 and smaller deposits coming
from many other lower Michigan cities
BY far the greater part of the total
deposit, however. have come from
foreigners employed in the copper
and iron mines Of the upper peninsula
notably Finlanders, who have been ac-
customed to postal saving banks in
their own country and are distrustful
of banking institutions with auy less
stable backing than the national gov
ernment. These people. it has devel-
oped, mad kept their savings in their
homes. content to receive no interest on
them because OF their skeptici cism con
cerning the stability of ordinary banks.
AS result of the Houghton expert
ment. the postal authorities are con-
fident that postal banks will flourish
better in communities made mp large
ly OF foreigners than elsewhere.

MEETING ADJOURNED

SUPERVISORS WILL MEET THEN TO
CONSIDER BONDING
DELEGATES TO MtNOnlNtE
Messrs. Dawson. McLaren and McColeman
Will Represent Iron County at the u.
p. Association Meeting.

The county board of supervisors met
at the court house last Saturday after
noon and attended TO all matters that
had accumulated since the last meet
ing.
The committee of the Crystal Falls
Commercial Club which has circulated
the petition for bonding presented Its
list as did the Iron River committee
also. Prosecuting AttoI ney McDonough
who has an eye to saving the county
any needless expense. advised that the
decision TO call an election be held mp
until the 25th as some friction has de-
veloped between the directors OF the
Iron River Commercial club and the
road commission over the question,

ors that this question be considered in
an harmonious light on both sides OF
the county and that the people be al
lowed 10 vote intelligently and with
out prejudice and for that reason the
decision to adjourn was taken.
The friction on the west side comes,
we are told. as an echo OF the resigna-
tion OF ex. Commissioner Long from
the road board last year. The super
yisors have been endeavoring to get
away from the day worK system OF
road building with commissioner as
boss and. In this effort. friction develop
ed between Mr.. Long and the board
that ended in his resignation.
In this connection IL may be said
that the present effort to bond Is to en-
tirely wipe out the day WORK system
and substitute contract instead but in

'ers must have a respectable amount Of
work to get contractors in
