WAS TOO RosEY
Report OF Railroad Man Sent Through the
West Secuted by His Superiors


West Secuted by His superior
a prominent railroad official who
was in Crystal Falls last Saturday
stated that the crops in the west are
beyond contemplation.
our traffic manager continued
the railroad man, was sent out west
by our directors with instructions to
make thorough canvass OF the situa-
tion there and report to the chairman
Of the board the exact conditions He
was cautioned TO look carefully into
the probable necessary car supply so
that the system might make no false
moves in assembling equipment to care
for the crops
Our traffic manager went west and
Travelled all over our system, taking
sufficient time to acquaint himself
with the actual conditions. The report
that he made TO the chairman of the
board was so rosey that that official
deemed 10 necessary TO call the board
together TO consider IL. He simply
couldn't credit his traffic manager 3
report il was so optimistic.
"Well, the directors met and they,
likewise doubted the accuracy OF the
report so they decided to send com
mittee over the system. That COM
mittee went over the sytsenl and found
that the report of the traffic manager
was correct and now they are back in
New York wrestling with the problem
of furnishing cars and engines enough
TO keep traffic moving this fall all over
their system
THAT is no fairy tale. IL is actual
fact. don I know how we are going
to get cars enough to handle all Of the
business this fall Every old car that
can possibly be put into service is he
ing fixed mp for service. Cars that
have been used for years in the build
ing service are ueing taken away from
the departments and put into the traffic
service Orders have been placed for
additional cars and engines but IL takes
time 70 build cars and engines and
with all our preparation | look for an
acute shortage this fall -
The story OF this railroad man If
borne ont by railroad men of other
systems The great worry today with
railroad men is how they are going TO
supply their patrons with equipment
sufficient "a move their produce.

Foundation Completed This Fall II
Possible.

The board of education let the con-
tract for the new school building last
Wednesday after several days consid-
GRAFTON OF the subject The building
upon which the contract is lot Is a
different one than the original plans
called tor as the bids on the original
building ran so much higher than was
xpected that the board felt IL was not
warranted in spending the amount Of
money necessary 20 complete such a
building.
In order 10 get down within the ap.
preparation and at the same time get a
good substantial building. the board
ordered the architect to cut out all of
the 'frills that were called tor in the
original plan such as the swimming
pool gymnasium and other features
that can just AS well be dispensed with
and still not lessen the substantialness
or usefulness of the building.
With those features eliminated IL was
found that the cost OF the building was
reduced to slO2. 900 and. on those figures
the board was willing 20 do business.
Mr.. Herman Gundlach. contractor
Of Houghton, was the lowest bidder ON
the work and was given the job Mr..
Gundlach comes here highly recom-
mended, is well acquainted with upper
peninsula conditions having large
experience in contract work in the
upper country.
The contract was drawn up during
the week by Moriarty 81 Dwyer. attor-
neys for the school board and signed by
the contractor and the board.
The new building will stand to the
west OF the high school and cover
ground space of 100 200. 1t will be
three stories with basement The
foundation will be OF solid concrete
and the walls Of pressed brick and
diana stone. There will be 1000
ards of gravel in the foundation and

DECISION OF HANNAH CO. TO OPEN
CARPENTER HELPS THE DISTRICT
MANY HERE SEEKING OPTIONS
City has Been Filled With Strangers the
Past Week. Many OF Them Mining
Co. Representatives.

The biggest boost that the CRYSTAL
rails district has received in many a
day was the decision, recently arrived
at by the NJ. A. Hanna people, TO ouen
up the Carpenter property. This bic
and valuable find lies between the
Damn and Tobin mines. on the Nwl,
of SWl L sec 81 I3-S9.
Ira Rowe a young man who got his
early mining training with the Corri-
gan Mcl inney company has been
assigned-the work OF opening up these
properties and is now actively at work
getting things shaped for an early
starting OF work.
Mr. Rowe has been with the Hanna
people for some time and before coming
here was In charge OF their properties
on the Cuynna range. He has taken
up his residence in the city where he
hnds many Of his old friends and au-
quaintances welcoming him back.
The Carpenter will be equipped with
complete plant of new machinery
commensurate with the size Of the
property. The boilers have already
been ordered and will be on the ground
as soon as the railroad is built into the
mine.
Both the st. Paul and the North.
Western have surveys made for the
connecting tracks. The St Paul track
Is authorized and WORK will probably
commence upon ii in short time. II
branches off the st. Paul track which
connects the Tobin mine with the
Dunn about where the track crosses the
west line Of the section.
The North Western survey continues
the Dunn mine branch from the Duun
mine TO the Carpenter property, which
means that the ore from this property
Will go out by way OF Mastodon instead
OF through the local yards ana tnus
relieve the congestion that frequently
exists here owing TO the large amount
OF ore handled.
Another important move made by
the NJ. A. Hanna people was the start
ing OF ore shipments from the Ravenna
mine. the property that these people
have been opening mp west Of the Bris-
tol mine for the past year. This pro-
perty is also under the management OF
Mr.. Rowe with Captain Jas. Allen in
charge
The Ravenna has been kind OF over
looked among the young ones growing
up but it is big property and will
some day make every one sit no and
take notice.
it is understood that about 25. 600
tons OF ore will be shipped from this
property this season and, considering
the equipment that the local people
have TO operate with it will be a big
accomplishment
The Ravenna has now progressed 10
stage where IL requires "a good equip
ment and we understand that one is
coming for il.
The city has been visited during the
week by more mining men and repre-
sentatives of mining companies than
has been the case in long. long time.
Every day some two or three mining
meu have come quietly into town. The
knowledge OF the big thing at Masto-
don Is gradually attracting the atten.
tion Of explorers and land in that
vicinity is being eagerly looked mp.

Cold Weather Continues

The oldest inhabitant fails 10 recall
a summer OF such continued cold as the
present one Records of temperature

ScHook CASE CONTINUED
Will be Argued Here During the December
Term Work OF Attorneys Praised

When we closed our forms last week,
the stray ends of the testimony In the
Schook case were being gathered in.
The most important testimony was
outlined in last week issue so that the
main story on both sides was not alter
ed in any particular.
Mr. Willis. attorney for Zimmerman
and Clutts. at the time OF the lease
making and now president of the com
pany. went on the stand and denied
having discussed the alleged agreement
OF Schook with Zimmerman and others
at.the time the option was taken. Mr..
MacKinnon was on the stand also but
his testimony was comparatively nm.
important.
Several witnesses were called on
minor points and the taking of testi-
mony closed.
An agreement was made between the
attorneys and the judge that the case
shall be argued here in December. In
the mean time each side will subInit
brief and it is probable that the Judge
will take some time TO consider the
case.
The closing of the report OF this case
without word of commentator for
the attorneys engaged would be an i'm
justice, for rarely have the people of
Iron county seen case better tried on
both sides than was the Zimmerman
case Mr.. Schools attorneys were f.
Fl. Abbott of this city and Nj. j. Sher-
wood OF Marquette. Mr. Sherwood did
all.of the examining of witnesses and
never did he show to better advantage
than In this case AT one time it
would seem that he was hopelessly
beaten but his keen questioning
brought out In bold relief the very
points upon which he seemed to lose in
a different form altogether Mr. Alb
bott's work was of different nature.
He attended TO the law details and the
manner in which the case was present.
cd showed that he had laid the basis
well.
The attorneys for the defense were
Chas. n Watson of this city and NJ s.
McDonough OF Iron River. II is a
source Of pride TO the people and bar
of Iron county that case, Involving
the amount OF money that was invol-
we'd In this case, could be- handled by
our attorneys In as mastery manner
as Mr. Watson and Mr. McDonough
handled the case for Mr.. Zimmerman
They were ON the unpopular sideN
Their clients are wealthy men stran-
gers to the community white the com
plainant Is we'll known, has many
friends and had the sympathy of every
one who heard the case or knew Of H.
Notwithstanding this handicap the
two Iron county attorneys presented
theircass and handled IL on the witness
stand In a manner that won for them
great praise from those whose sympa-
thy were the other way.
Mr.. Watson and Mr.. McDonough took
turns in examining and cross examin-
ing witnesses They were always ON
the alert and left no point obsoured.
IL was a we'll tried case and demon
strated that Iron county has attorneys
who have the ability and confidence TO
handle cases with the best of EN-.

REVIVAL MEETING.

There has been no extensive religi- ous awakening in Clifton for a long time, if ever, and such is greatly needed to break up that indifference to the claimsof the Gospel upon mems lives which is a characteristic of our citizens. There are few attendants upon public worship and an especially small percentage of men and boys. To meet this need the services of Rev. John E. Green, of Houston, Texas, known as the Railroad Evangelist, have been secured to conduct a meet ing, from Thursday, September 26 to October 6, in the Methodist Church They will be held at 3:30 and ': :aO pm daily except Saturday afternoons The pastor will begin the services on Sunday evening September 22 and will hold services each evening till Mr. Green arrives from Duncan, where he is now holding services. The meet ings will be undenominational in char acter and all Christian people are in vited both to attend and further them as much as they are able.
 Rev. Green was for years a locomo- tive engineer pulling the throttle on one of the crack trains of the south and still carries his Brotherhood card He has an ineXhaustible fund of incl dents to illustrate gospel truth and a great gift of humor that makes him charming speaker, especially for men. With it all his language is as whole some as sunlight and carries the mes sage of salvation with no uncertain sound. It is hoped that he will have the generous hearing that he deserves.

MEC|GARFACTORY LOCATED IN
 CLIFTON

new industry which has been laun ched in Clifton and which bids fair to be one of the most popular is the Home Cigar Comp pany. The proprie tsor of the new concern is A. G Pohnderf ad T. B. Paris, both we'll acquainted with the business. The factory is located across the river adjoining Rileys confectionery busi- ness.
 This business house will do whole sale business exclusively, looking af- ter the local trade and visiting the nearby towns, Morenci and Metcalf will be visited and if possible supplied from the Clifton factory. It is eX pected to employ four and five cigar makers as soon as the shop gets well under way making at least seven on the pay roll of the new factory. As cigar makers are among the very best paid tradesmen this will make an ad- ditional item in the circulation med:- um at this point.
 It is the purpose of the proprietors of the Home Cigar company to put out fine grade of cigar and those which will be well received by the trade an'; merit patronage. Already they have put out four brands, namely the Cop per King, Arizona La Composa and Cash Value. It is hoped to put up 6 cigar which will be well adapte 10 tie climate and attitude.
