Maker of these stockings is one of the most-critical we know
 Every pair must be 'Ejust so.'' None that has even the smallest hurt is allowed to pass inspection.
 And the inspectors in his factory count things as hurts which in most facto- ries are overlooked entirely.
 This is one reason why his stockings are in such de- mand: dealers know their excellence and know they are always to be counted upon in quality and perfect finish.

ATTORNEY INTERVIEWED

A proposition to charge loading fee
OF 5.cents per ton Tor all ore loaded
through the docks at Escanaba inside
OF ten days after arrival and an addi-
tional charge of 5-cents for every ten
days the ore remains in the dock is
now mp for consideration by the inter
state commerce commission and will
materially effect the cost of ore ship
ping IL approved.
The practice has been for mining
companies 10 keep certain amount OF
ore stocked in the docks so as 10 take
care OF boats. Under the proposed
storage charge this ore would be in
creasing in cost all the time.
The idea Is TO compel mining com-
panies TO keep boats at the docks TO
take care Of the ore shipments. In or
der TO pay for holding the boats the
mining companies will have 70 keep
shovels at their piles all Of the time
and rush out any deficiency i'm tonnage
when the boat arrives. IL will also
necessitate stocking ore when boats are
scarce With an insufficient car supply
ii will mean lots Of extra expense 10
the mining companies when boats
come in clusters.

Building Bridges

A crew has been busy this week
building bridges on the Milwaukee ex-
tension from this city TO Ir,n River.
Tho piles have all been driven for the
Fortune lake bridge and the stringers
laid 80 that the laying Of track TO the
west Of Fortune lake may he resumed
at any time. Tho small bridge across
Brier Hill creek was also built during
the week. These two are all the
bridges on the line until Chicagon lake
Is reached when ii will be necessary to
build one across the outlet Of that lake.
The laying OF rail- was continued mp
TO Fortune lake some time ago but the
track has not been ballasted 40 no work
can be done over il until the balasting
is completed and that will not be for
some time yet, probably not until late
spring.
The contractors are still at work
along the line with the exception of
Mr.. Hicks who stopped his work early
in December. With the completion OF
the Payne section the rail can be laid
TO Chicagon mine.
We are told that there is 90 be CON
siderable work done at Chicagon mine
crossing before the line can be Contin-
ued on to Iron River. The Two lines
cross in sag of the North Western s
line and il is necessary that the st.
Paul elevate the North Western tracks
30 that an overhead crossing will be
made for the North Western before
they can get across. Before that work
can be dene it will be necessary for the
Milwaukee to get its line into the Chi.
cagon mine in shape 80 that the North
Western can use il to haul its ore AT
least two months delay will be caused
from this condition SO that the line
will certainly not be- opened until well
along IN the year.

Fighting Rate increase

The iron ore shippers of the Lake
Superior region are fighting the pro-
posed increase in ore rates by the
imposition of dookage charges. A
delegation of representative ere ship
pers was at Chicago this week in. con-
ference with the railroad representa-.
tives and a course of action was map
ped out in case the railroads persist in
their proposed loading charge.
The loading charge 10 practically a
rate increase. Heretofore the rate ON
ore from Crystal Falls TO Escanaba mas
been a0-cents with no loading charge.
The new plan makes rate OF as cents
and may amount TO n great deal more

A Correction

We learn that we were very greatly
misinformed as 10 what happened in
the Justice court at Iron River when
the case Of the People W Lawrence was
called up for hearing last week. Also
that we did Mr. Waifen IN injustice in
the statement that he asked for the
dismissal of Lawrence. What actually
happened is best told in the following
excerpt from the write.up Of the affair
in the Reporter.
AT two o clock Lawrence and his at
torney, John ConmiskeY, were present.
The complainant was also present.
Mr.. WafIen stated that on ADVICE OF
his attorney. John Tracy. OF Menomi-
nee. he did not care To proceed with
the cass previous TO the examination
now being made by the committee Of
attorneys appointed TO investigate the
various charges made against him.
When asked If ne wanted the case dis
missed ne said that he did not, and
then left the room.
The counsel for the defendant there
upon asked TO have the case dismissed.
inasmuch as there was no one appear
ing against his client. Judge Curley
thereupon dismissed the case.
We got our information by phone
from scource that we supposed was
authentic but 10 developed that our in
formant was misinformed az well as
ourselves and we make this correction
in fairness to the persons involved AS
20 the statement which was accredited
10 Mr. Waifen regarding the reason for
not pushing the case we have no fur
ther information on it and, our other
information having been founa TO be
incorrect, we cannot vouch for the
truth Of that either.

$ll, 900 OF the total of f62, 600 of taxes
spread upon the assessment rslls of this
city up TO the 9th inst the last day
on which taxpayers could pay without
paying the extra per cent collection

presents mainly the property OF the
local taxpayers association. IL is
quite probable that almost all or this
will be collected rs it il the intention
Of the city authorities TO force the pay.

In fact most Of those who withheld
payment want to pay their taxes and y

The state tax commission comes back
with very lame excuse for their ac.

claim--and their claim 10 correct--that

assessed at $l35. GOO It is $3.50 per
forty or total OF $500 for 80 acres
Nowhere else can any such a price
be found. They say a value of about
$40 per acre but as matter of fact
they valued that land at only trifie
over So per acre.
Now, let's see what they did with
other lands in the vicinity. The NEL

question in Salem so economically and
efficiently demonstrated to me as the
filtering system now in use in the
town Of Albany" states DR.. Cusick
THE Salem city council should in
vestigate this system. They will be
intelligently advised as to the merits
of the filter by those In charge in Al
bany and l am satisfied the local ad-
ministration will find something over
which they can ponder and reflect be-
fore endeavoring to make other plans
for pure water.
why issue bonds in the sum of
many thousands of dollars for the pur-
chase Of the Salem Water Company's
plant, or place the city in debt several
million by trying to tap mountain
streams for pure water when such a
system as that in Albany is efficient
beyond all question? The city of Sa-
lem should negotiate with the Salem
Water company regarding this matter.
Without burden to either the people
or the local water corporation, fill
tering plant could be installed in Sa-
lem at a very nominal cost. Say for
instance, that the city of Salem under
take one-half Of the cost of filtering
plant and the Salem Water company
the other, the latter to refund the mu-
nicipalitys share within a reasonable
length Of time. The plant in Albany
cost $4,000, and it is capable of fur
nishing pure water to cities as large
as Salem and Albany combined. What
would 100000 be to the people of Sa-
lem as mere loan to the city water
company, and what would like am
cunt be to the corporation as its share
Of the cost of construction of filter?
There is no reasonable person in Sa-
lem who desires to see the water COM
pany injured or cramped by forcing
this water question. There is every
reason to believe the city officials and
the water company could arrive at a
suitable conclusion in this way and
