accommodations at the hotels, over
100 came from Moscow and other
neighboring towns and did not re-
port for rooms. Many members of

Will Save Employers Millions

The fourth option in the working
mans compensation law, giving en-
ployers the opportunity 10 have the
state insurance department administer
their liability insurance. will save the
employers of Michigan million dol
lars, declared n state official Thurs
day.
The official explained that this was
brought about by the stock liability
companies having increased their pre-
miuns In many cases as high az BOO
times the amount charged before the
new law went into effect, but who have
since been compelled to almost discard
their state manual owing to the en-
ployers flocking 20 the state insurance
department TO nave the law admins
tered through the department. The
stock liability companies had n sche-
dulv OF rates in manual form which
all companies went by relative TO rates.
When the new law went into effect
they were forced 10 increase their
rates. but met with 90 much opposition

result that tie nanual In paid little

The new offices of the Verona Mining

complete, although there still remain
some detail work upon them.
The vault fixtures have been ordered
and will be installed upon arrival.
The lighting system used will he the
new and popular indirect method. The
facilities for print making and hand

introduced a Wagenhorst Electric Blue

The principle applied Is practically
Photographic. The waxed linen paper
and the sensilized surface Of the blue
paper are brought into contact and ex-
posed TO the strong rays of the arc

of the frame, thus providing an equal
distribution OF light from all parts of
the print. Near the frame ia tube

ARE WE TAXED TOO HIGH

In the Crystal Falls department, else
where in this paper, is an article refer
ring TO the recent work of Tax Com
mission in this county and the yalua-
ton placed on property in the ely OF
CRYSTAL Falls in comparison with valu'
alton placed on some mine property on
that side of the county. In the article
referred TO are some valuations placed
ON property in that city. Our neigh
bors certainly have no kick coming
compared to some property owners IN
Iron River.
There isn't building or piece OF
property on the east side OF the county
that goes over $i5, 900. while here there
are several that have been placed be-
vond the $40, 900 value and yet there Il
some valuable property in our sister
city.
The Iron County National Bank
building is put at $40, 600 while the
First National bank building in thi'
city is valued az S27. 500 or nearly twice
as much as the county seat institution
Tho Masonic building, the Finnish q
Swedish building and the John Iuft'
Co. building are put on the tax roll a.
si5, 600. $i4, 100 and $ii, 500 respective
Nv. while Barney Krom and the Iron
River Mer. Co. store buildings are eacf
on the tax roll at over $50. 600.
The Diamond Drill building is OF
the roll at S., 800 while The Reporter
building tips the scale NJ 5000.
fThe same difference In valuation u
ALSO seen in residential property, an'
hence IL our friends on the east side o.
the county are taxed too high. then tn'
people of this village should roar loud
or than Teddy did when he lost tn
Republican nomination at Chicago las
June
Crystal Falls property is either to'
low or Iron River property is certainly
too high. or course Iron River Is
pretty good town compared to Crysta
Falls. which may account for our pro
perty being valued great deal highe
than similar property on the east SD
of the county.

The Woman Makes the Home

She makes it best who, looking after the
culinary department. turns her back resolute-

accessories. She is economical; she knows
that true economy does not consist in the use
OF inferior meat flour, or baking powder. She
is an earnest advocate of home made, home
baked food, and has proved the truth of the
statements of the experts that the best cook
ing in the world today is done with Royal
Baking Powder.
