LOWER FARE ON
NORTHWESTERN
REDUCTION IN RATES IN v. p,
APPLIES ONLY ON THAT
r. R.-soUTH SHORE
FIGHTS.

The Chicago 4 Northwestern Rail
way company will today put into effec
the two-cent per mile passenger rat,
between all points in Michigan. The
new rates will DC effective between
Aiarinette and Michigamme. the latter
being the terminal Of the Peninsula
division.
The announcement that the two
cent rate would DE put into effect to-
day came as surprise to the conduc-
tors and other employees OF the sys-
tenn.
a well informed railroad man. who
keeps in close touch with the passen-
ger traffic business. expresses the
opinion that the old rates viii be re-
sumed if a favorable decision is hand
ed down BY the United States court at
Detroit in the injunction proceedings
instituted by the Duluth, South Shore
4 Atlantic Railway company. He said
that II the decision is favorable TO the
railroad corporations there is no reason
why the Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
way company should continue the
two-cent rate. He expressed the be-
lief that the South Shore people will
win their suit. as the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern Railway compan-
les won in a similar case i'm Mime
sofa after the two-cent per mile rate
had been effective for year or more.
The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific people proved to the court and
railway commission that two-cent
fare was insufficient to meet the OPP
Grating expenses. The Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic Railway company
will fight the law on the same grounds
With the change that goes into ef-
feet i'm the upper peninsula today the
company is now operat-
ing under the two-cent per mile fare
rate in all Of the states through which
It's system passes. with the exception
IF Minnesota. Wyoming and North
md South Dakota. The Northwestern
granted a two-cent fare i'm Minnesota
Turing the period that the other lines
operated under that rate, but the for
ner rate was resumed when the de-
'ision favorable to the Northern Pa
life and Great Northern was handed

MUCH COPPER IS
MINED AT LOSS
STATE GEoLoGIST ALLEN DE.
ClARES PRICES EITHER
MUST GO UP OR OUTPUT
COSTS LOWERED.

That one third Of the copper mined
in Michigan's copper fields is mined al
a loss, is the claim of State Geolo-
gist r. G. Allen, and that either one
OF two things will have TO be brought
about soon If Michigan is TO MAINTAIN
her position as leader in the great
copper industry OF the country-either
the maintainance of copper prices that
will allow the industry to live, or the
cutting down Of the cost Of product
ion.
Said Mr.. Allen: IF copper prices
should fail to about the level of cost
Of production of some OF the rich west
.ern fields, the Michigan industry, and
therefore the state, would suffer an
irreparable loss"
Continuing. Mr.. Allen said: "The
producing copper mines are on Kewee-
nav Point, which is a narrow PENN
sular projecting northwest 20 miles in !
to Lake Superior. The backbone of |
this peninsula is formed by the copper |
OF basic lava flows called trap; I'm
lesser part of acid lavas. The lavas
are interbedded with layers of sand
stone and conglomerate. The producing

Competition Chief Question.

"The question i'm Michigan is not
how much copper have we left, but
how long will we be able to mine
copper i'm competition with other dis
tricts having large reserves of high
grade ore from which copper can be
over one-third of Michigan's present
output is produced at a distinct loss.
"The mining companies are max
ing every effort to lower the cost of
production. With the gradually de-
clining tenor of the ores, increasing
depth of mines, growing charges for
new exploration and development
work. the operators are under constant
pressure TO reduce costs of mining and
extraction This is done by charging
and pcrfecting the mine, mill and
smeltcr equipment improving trans
portation facilities and cutting down
administrative charges. The latest
move i'm this direction seeks to consol-
idate most of the copper mines under
one organization.
while Mr.. Allen refused to discuss
the legal aspects. or the ethics Of such
merger. he plainly intimated that some
decisive step toward cutting the cost
OF production must be taken, and that
soon. If the Michigan copper industry
was 10 be able to compete with other
copper producing countries.

Captured Third Time
Arbor Day Spade Comes To Crit
tenden Again to Spend
Summer

When the Marion boys return
ed from the state University
last week they brought with
them the historic old Arbor day
spade which makes the third
time it has spent the summer in
Crittenden county.
The spade was made by the
Mechanical Engineering depart
ment of State University when
the custom was started years
ago for each Senior class to plant
a tree on Arbor day and then
the Senior class Ora t o r
turns the spade over to t h e
Junior Class Orator who receives
it in behalf of the Junior class
and keeps it until the following
year when it is again turned over
to the following Junior class with
appropriate ceremonies.
In 1906 the spade was first
brought to Crittenden county by
B. T. Towery an old Marion
High School boy and who was
orator of the Junior class.
In 1908 it was again brought
to Crittenden county by V, Y.
Moore who was the unanimous
choice of the Junior class for or
ator.
This year the spade was brought
to the already renowned Critten-
den county by N. G. Rochester
who duplicated the feat of Mr..
Moore and was the only class Of
ficer of the Junior elected by
reclamation.
The custody of the spade for
one year is considered quite an
honor and every county in the
state considers themselves for
tunate to have it at least once and
Crittenden the most fortunate of
them all has had it for the third
time.
