COPPER CITY
MAIL SERVICE
DAILY CONNECTIONS, EXCEPT
SUNDAY, WITH THE cALU-
MET p. O., NOW IN
EFFECT.

Mail connections between the Cop
per City post office and the Calumet
post office were started Saturday
when the local post office dispatched a
mail pouch to the Copper City post
office, leaving here on the Keweenaw
Central train at 2:4S p. m. This serv-
ice will be continued daily until fur
Their notice. with the exception of Sat
urday and Sunday. on Saturdays the
mail pouch will leave Calumet for
Copper City at p. IN. There will be
no delivery of mail to the Copper City
post office on Sundays.
Copper City's mail pouch for points
east and west is arriving in Calumet
daily at p. M, except Saturdays.
when IL reaches here at $3.50 p. IN.
Owing to the change in the time table
of the Milwaukee and st. Paul train,
which leaves daily at 3:15 p. m, for
the east, mail connections cannot be
made the same afternoon. All mail for
Duluth and points west. however,
leaves here each night on the 1910 p.
m. train.
While the service might be a little
better for eastern points, the advan-
tages at hand are appreciated by Cop
per City residents. 1t is likely that later
on. other train changes may go into
effect. which will enable Copper City
people to get their eastern mail out
over the st. Paul train the same day
it is mailed, thus avoiding the days
delay, which must necessarily occur

election. Must be willing to work mare
and be goat gracefully. Apply to chair
man VI county republican committee.
In an effort to scoop the want ad
columns of the Tribune, we'll
known business man has suggested
the above notice to the snake editor
In the hope that 1t will afford relief
to the promoters OF straight repub-
lican ticket for the coming city cleo
ton. The idea of putting up a solid
G. o. P. bunch met with favor when
broached short time ago. but when
the still hunt for candidates started,
it was found that all was not such
plain sailing as anticipated. Now
the hunt for candidates is like unto
finding bubbling springs in the dry
farming sections.
Candidates for mayor-the kind
acceptable to the powers that would
oe-are not numerous during the
present cold snap. The G. O. P.
leaders had pinned their faith to one
we'll known possibility and present
ed themselves to him with the nomi-
nation on the proverbial silver plat
ter But the possibility" did not
warm up worth a cent-in fact he
stated positively that he would not
take the job under any consideration.
And besides that Glow be it spoken)
he intimated that he thought the non
partisan election was good enough to
be tried over again.
But the G. o. p. is not discouraged
by any means. The faithful are still
limiting that there is fine fat nomi-
nation for mayor to be had by de-
sirable party and are still yearning
for the aforesaid desirable party to
make himself known and appear be-
fore them in receptive mood.
Several names are being mention
ed for the honor 1t is stated that
Mayor Houston will not run again
under any consideration. The demo-
Gratis do not seem to be sufficiently
worried up to this time to
begin thinking about an opposition
ticket. 1t may be that the republi-
cans will put up ticket that will be
opposed BY democrat and non
partisan merger. And then. other
things may happen.

SOME IRRIGATION NONSENSE
by E. f. Baker

To Greeley Tribune:
There occasionally appears In the
Denver and outside papers state
ments of what the state engineer Is
going TO do regarding filings anu
concentrations in order to protest
lsnnposedly) the innocent irrigation
investor. and especially to protect
the incompetent and ignorant agri-
culturists OF the state from them
selves.
We have in these articles beau
rocratic system outlined. which, II
the papers state correctly. totaiiy
eclipses the much discussed and gen.
orally condemned system OF reguia-
tions adopted by the forest reserva-
tion officials and the proposed regu-
lation OF power sites and other nat
ural resources. Take first an article
appearing in the Denver Times OF
January 4th. The first two para
graphs therein to the effect that
present appropriations would cover
, the state with one foot Of water and
would drain the Mississippi river.
These representations are not worthy
OF notice. Fully two thirds OF the
filings are made to protect some
older appropriation or some lana
owner from interference by others
For a while without intent to con-
struct or appropriate. Others are
made from seepage ponds fed by
drainage of adjacent land, some
rom dry CREEKS. which occasionally
furnish water. The majority OF these
appropriations will never be consum-
mated by construction.
All of these filings furnish ma
terial portion of the receipts OF the
state engineers office. The only OBJ
lection the writer can see to the pro-
visions of the law as they now stand
IS that it REQUIRES the approval o.
the state engineer o. all filings made
n his office. This should not be re
ruired. as the approval practically
means a certificate OF the correctness
Of the surveys represented on the
map. One with experience Fnows
that in order to check at least the
upper contour Of reservoir in order
to certify to its correctness. 1t would
REQUIRE time, and would warrant
considerable increase in the charges
OF the state engineers office now
made. Unless an increase in filing
-ees is allowed. the state engineer
should be REQUIRED only to fle such
maps and statements, certify the
late Of such fling. and return the
duplicate for filing with the county
clerk as now provided.
This charge might be considered
the minimum fling fee referred TO In
the third paragraph OF the Times
article. What follows to the effect
that a charge OF one dollar per acre
foot should be made for all water
appropriated discloses the beauty Of
the whole scheme. and Is the most
astounding proposal ever presented
to the public or the legislature. II
