A CONTEST iSON

For the First Time in A Number Of Years
There Will be Two Tickets Seeking

Mayor Arvid Blork informed us .ha.
he will again be candidate for ne
election az the coming municipal cleo.
tion. Mr.. Biork has been considering
the matter for a week and 6nally con-
sented to again seek the office.
Mr. Blork stated that. ii he followed
his personal wishes in the matter. ne
would not again bother with the Office
but that he has had so numerous and
such persistent requests that he again
be candidate that he has dnally con.
sented TO stand for election and IL the
voters see fit to again repose their con.
tidence in him he will give the Office
the best attention that he il able 10
give 1t.
This declaration on Mr.. BJorks part
clarifies the political atmosphere and
sets the pins for the grand finale which
will take place ON the lst OF April
election day. There is no personal
feeling in this contest between the twp
mayorality candidates. Mayor Bjcrk
and Alderman Nesbitt. Botn are
friends and both will remain SO
through the campaign. II will be

What effect the contests tor alderman

From hints on the outside one would
gather the impression that the oity
contest Is really governed by outside
influences, one OF them being the com.
ing sheriff contest next August An
other rumor is that the fight is not be-
tween the two men over the mayors
office but an effort on the part of some
Of the people TO make a change in thu
water and light department Of the city
and it looks rs IL this department will
enter more or less into the discussion

MANY SURVEYORS
WORKING ON LINE
PRACTICALLY NEW SURVEY OF THE
I MILWAUKEE, EXTENSION
CURVES WILL Be STRAlGHTtNED
In General. the Line OF the Second Survey
Will be Followed But Greatly
Changed.

Surveyors are arriving daily for work
upon the Iron River extension of the
Milwaukee road. II is the intention
10 put three gangs Of surveyors at work
ON the line one gang working from
Crystal Falls one from Iron River and
.the third in the middle OF the line
working TO meet the other two
The reason for this work is the desire
TO change the line from that establish
sd by the second survey That survey
established a line that rs very crooked.
A big reverse curve ia the vicinity OF
Trout lake is the worst feature of the
entire survey and it is hoped that that
bad feature may be eliminated
In general the line will keep closer
20 the valley of Briar Hill creek as TAR
as Fortune Lake when it will work
along south Of the old line 70 the
Chicagon mine. The west end of the
line needs 90 be changed also because
cf the establishment Of the North.
Western line to the mines in the Bates
district
The first line established by the Nil
waakee road for the Iron River exten-
sion ran south of Chicagon lake. The
second line was established away 30 the
north Of the Chicagon lake territory
but it was necessary 10 get south far
enough TO tap the Chicagon mine
Since that time considerable mineral
development has been ia evidence on
the west side and il Is necessary 20
change the west end Of the lie so as 10
run close to the iron formation.
All kinds OF rumors are in circula-
iion regarding the building OF the
extension. One is that an appropriation
Of half million dollars has been made
by the directors for the purpose OF
Aaking the extension.
AT any rate, il looks a. II the build
ing OF the line is sure go this time
and IL further looks as II the opening
of the branch is to be timed so as TO
get in on the big ore shipments, when
things take turn in the iron business
and from present appearances the Mil
waukee will not be In position to haul
much ere from Iron River until the

as cook and from that day until the
day Of his death ne was connected with
the history Of Crystal Falls
The finding OF iron here induced the
