FROM CoWPUNcHER TO SENATE

There has been a tradition that in
termeddling from Washington never
did a presidential candidate any good.
The people. 1t was thought, wanted to
be let alone while making their choice.
As Woodrow Wilson would say. In
writing q confidential letter to a trust
ed friend, that tradition has been
knocked into q cooked hat.
Anyway, Washington this year has
become the main show. and energetic
managers at the door urge the
crowds to walk right In, study the IT.

taken 70 Mr.. Hicks camp at Chicagon

When Monday morning arrived the
men didn't manifest any inclination TO
get out on the grade and the foreman
went to the camp to learn what was
the trouble. The men informed him
that they didn't intend to shovel. He
asked them If they didn't hire out to
shovel and they replied that they
thought that they might get something
else TO do. He asked them % earn
enough 20 pay for their board but this
they refused TO do If the work was TO

There were no games played mere
last week between the Iron Mountain
ana Crystal Falls teams as called for
by the schedule because OF the tact
that the big rain storm did not let up
until Saturday and the grounds were
in no condition to be played upon A
telephone message was sent Iron Noun
tain last Saturday evening to come
here for a game on Sunday but, as il
didn't reach the manager OF the Iron
Mountain team, the boys from the cave
town Gidn come mp.
Iron River played Norway, the two
teams splitting even and thus placing
Norway tie with Crystal Falls for the
leadership of the league. The first
game was won by Norway by score
OF 2 TO 0 the second game going to
Iron River by a score of 4 to 9
Iron River has strengthened greatly
by the addition of Secore on third base
and Rooney as pitcher.
Norway and Crystal Falls play today
and tomrrow and again next Saturday
and Sunday. This weeks games are
billed for Norway next weeks games
coming here. These four games will
have great deal to do with determin-
ing the leadership OF the league. After
Norway Crystal Falls takes on Iron
River for five games. all of them on
the local grounds and as there is great
rivalry between these two teams some
lively base ball is expected.
There were rumors here that Iron

MAY RE-ENRoLL
But Votes Cast Must Be For an Enrolled
Member OF the Party

Member OF the Party
There seems to be a mis- understand
inS regarding the right OF voters TO re-
enroll upon primary day. The right
Is given all electors TO re-enroll upon
that day in case they wish to join a
new party but they have not the right
to change from the party in which they
are enrolled to any other of the party
that existed at the time OF the last en-
rollment day AS example, any elector
may change from the republican,
democrat, prohibition, socialist, social
, ist labor party TO the national progress
siye party but no elector has the right
to change from republican to democrat.
prohibition or the socialist parties
OF course, an elector changing from
one OF the old parties to the new party
loses his right to vote in the old party
at the primary election. There is an
important proviso in the law. however.
that must not be overlooked and will
keep candidates for office on the repub.
lican and democrat tickets from being
voted for and becoming candidates for
the Office on other tickets by having
their friends on an opposite party write
their names on the ballot. The proyiso
is;
Provided further. that all votes
cast for any candidate upon the ballots
Of one political party. when such can
didate is enrolled as a member OF an
other political party, shall not be
counted
For example should some candidate
for sheriff on the republican party in
this county get the idea ttat he may
lose ont in the contest and try 10 save
an opportunity to run ut the election
by having some of his friends who re-
enrolled as bull moosers write his name
npon the ballot, he must himself re-
enroll as bull mooser or the votes cast
for him on the national progressive
ticket cannot be counted. Should he
re enroll then all votes cast for him on
the republican ticket must not he
counted
This provision is good thing as it

League Gone KerfIunk

The Wisconsin Upper Peninsula
league went TO the wall last Monday
when the Marinette and Menominee
clubs which. with the Escanaba and
Gladstone teams. made mp the league.
disbauded and left only the Delta
county teams to continue the struggle.
The w. Y. F. league was organized
last spring and was ideally composed
for strife but the extravaganza of the
Escanaba management in getting high
priced players forced the others TO fol-
low suit and a. was natural tha' the
losers felt that their hired men were
not giving them enough in return for
the white aIley Of salary tnat was be-
ing paid out. ,hence the dissolution. !.
The Marinette and Menominee clubs
will play Airssependent bali after re-
organization.
The Dickinson Iron league may well
take lesson from the experience of
our friends at the mouth Of the big
river.

a PERMANENT STEAM PLANT AT
ONCE AND HOSTING PLANT LATER
WORKING MINES ARE RUSHED
Stoekpiles Have Been Cleaned mp a, Tobin
and Dunn and But Little Left al
Bristol and Armenia Mines

In conversation with Ira Rowe of
the NJ. A. Hanna properties nf this
district during the week. we were in
formed that the work of sinking
shalt on the Carpenter property will
commence Just as soon the machinery
that has been ordered can be got on
the ground and put in place. The
steam plant has been ordered and will
consist Of a battery of Wicks boilers
with mechanical stokers. IL is the In.
tention OF the company to put In a
permanent steam plant at the outset
and one that will be able 10 handle anv
volume OF water that may be met with
in an economical manner. One of the
chief draw backs TO sinking In wet
properties Is the lack of sufficient
pumping capacity and the Hanna peo-
pie intend TO take time by the forelock
at the Carpenter and put in steam
plant that will carry them through.
The hoisting plant has not been de-
olded upon yet, nor has the otner O.
quipment. A temporary hoist will be
installed, sufficient to answer all the
demands put upon the property for the
development period and when the needs
OF the property are ascertained TO bet
ter satisfaction than nc present the size
and type OF the hoisting plant will be
decided upon.
The depth to which the shaft will be
sunk has not been decided. That will
depend upon the conditions that arise
as the work progresses.
As soon as the timber arrives, work
will be started. The timber TO be used
will be all western timber of the best
quality. The size OF the shaft will be
I2x1S; four compartments IL Is ex-
pected that considerable water Will be
met with in the surface burden, which
is s5 feet thick.
The working mines OF this district
are all hustling out ore excepting the
Mansfield which is still stocking dts
ore. At the Corrigan Mckinney mines
every man tnat comes around is put at
work and ore is being shipped TO docks
as fast as hoisted. The Armenia is
putting some of It's second grade stuff
on stock pile but its first grade and all
of the ore at the Tobin and Dunn is
going TO the docks.
The stockpiles are cleaned up at the
Damn and Tobin and all OF the Ar
menia ore hut small pile of No. 2 has
been shipped. The Bristol shovel was
sent 10 Iron River last week leaving
small portion of ore at that property
yet in stock but that ore will undoubt-
edly be sent forward before shipping
season closes.
There seems 10 be fair supply of
mining labor in the district but every
mine laborer is employed and more
could be taken on The addition OF
the Carpenter property and an expan-
aon in exploratory work that now
looks to be certainty will create a
big demand for mine laborers here in
a short time.

Just or the turn before the bridge is
reached, the axle broke letting one cor

being driven by the said mining man
and contained his wife and children.
It was travelling right along when the
accident occurred.
The driver lost his head when ne felt
the jar and jumped out leaving his
wife and children in the car and fail

The woman. seeing her perilous po-
sition, reached over and shut off the
juice. just as the car reached the side
of the fill at the lake Ii plunged
down the till but the momentum was
not sufficient to cause IL 10 turn turtle.
Happily the plucky woman escaped
unhurt and those who happened along
at the time say that the driver was a.
