MERCHANTS DRAW FIRST BLOOD

Merchants of Iron River won their
first battle with street iakirs when
M. J. Daring. an itinerant merchant
of Escanaba, paid,a fine of s.. 90 and
costs for selling goods without state
license instead OF testing the law in
the higher courts as he announced he
would when arrested two weeks ago.
All the other street hawkers packed
their belongings and left the city when
the lid was clapped on, with the excep-
Aon of Darling. He rented vacant

Attorney Waffen fled complaint
against him upon the affidavit OF
Councilman Il. G. Miller.
Darling's case was continued until
last Friday to give him time to obtain
counsel. Instead of returning from
Escanabr with lawyer Darling

he placed before the jury as Exhibit

70 follow the vocation Tor which he
was arrested in order 20 support his
family. de also said il was his in

After the jury found Darling guilt,

NOTHING TOWARDS

A lot of plank WAS received at the
q. IL N W. depot last week which
lead us to believe that at last the mat
erial was being got on the ground for
that new depot which had been prom
ised us for these many years and which
we so badly need. We were doomed
however to another disappointment,
for the planks were used this week to
repair the old platform, which was
rapidly gong to decay
We have been informed by the Pen
insular Officials of the road that IL is
now too late in the season to begin
work on new structure and that II
will have TO 20 over until next year,
Notwithstanding the company has bad
full six weeks or more in which to get
its material on the ground and begin
operations. Down at Iron Mountain
the ST. Paul commenced work about
two weeks ago on new depot and
we see no good reason why the North
Western couldn have done likewise.
The Reporter has been very patient
with the North Western ocffiials for
several years but patience will soon
cease to be- virtue, We need that
new depot. The company knows il
and so do the public.
Mr.. Andrews, are we TO stand the
sitting atmosphere Of your 6x6 80
called waiting room for another year,
II the attention Of the state board Of
health was called TO the condition of
the present structure there is no doubt
but IL would declare the building not
tit tor cattle TO be crowded into let
alone human beings.
What do you think about II. Mr..
AndrewsY DO you honestly think you
are treating the public right in depriv-
ing them of that new depotl

Another wonderful improvement in
the incandescent electric lamp was re-
Gently announced from experimental
laboratories OF the General Electric
Company The new lamps will cut
the consumption of electricity in half,
consuming only one-half watt of cur
rent for each candle power of light.
The present type of tungsten filament
lamps cosnme one watt per candle
power.
the new lamps contain especially
shaped tungsten flamets and are filed
with inert gas, such as nitrogen az a
pressure of about an atmosphere The
types which il is expected to first de-
velop are adapted to comparatively
high current consumption, ampers
and above, and operate ut an efficiency
OF half watt per candle power
This is fully twice rs high an eff
cheney as the most efficient inoandes-
cent lamps heretofore available The
now lamps promise TO he of particular
value in field not heretofore covered
by incandescent lamps. and should
greatly broaden the applications in
which they CA be used advantageously,
particularly In the direction Of very
large candle pnwer units.

MUCH INTEREST IN
BOYS ENCAMPMENI
Free Trip to State Fair for One Boy from
Each County.

Last year the management OF the len
nessee State Fair for the tlrst time ar
ranged for an encampment for represen-
tatiye farm BOYS from each county on
the State Fair grounds during the entire
week of the fair, and no one feature OF
the fair resulted in more educational
value to the farm boys over the State.
Profiting by the experience of last yea,
the management is planning for the en-
campment this year on broader and bet
ter lines. The boys who are fortunate
in being selected will have one solid
week of recreation, fun and instruction
They will have an opportunity to form
a state wide acquaintance with boys who
are going to be leaders in the develop
ment of the State. They will have an
opportunity to see and learn about the
best crops that are grown, the best live
stock, horses, hogs, sheep, cattle and
poultry. They will witness live stock
Judging, demonstrate in seed testing,
will see the best in agricultural imple-
ments and machinery in operation. Ihey
will get practical suggestions for max
ing home life on the farm attractive; in
short, they have an opportunity to see
the attractive side Of farming, the pos
sibilities of agriculture when we make
of it what we can. There will be lee
lures on every phase of farm life for
their benefit.
Nothing will be neglected that can
be done to make the Farm Boys En-
campmcnt at the Tennessee State fair,
September 20 to October 1, the great
success it should be, and the trip is an
attractive one. since the State Fair pays
the transportation and furnishes lodging
and meals to one boy in every county

FAIR TO SHOW SAMAR TWINS

= The Con T. Kennedy Shows, which
will provide the big amusement features
at the Tennessee State Fair, September
90 to October 4, enjoys the distinction
of presenting one of the most remark
able educational attractions ever brought
out by travelling amusement organiza-
ton. The Samar Twins, wards OF the
United States Government, born on the
island of Samar, in the Philippines, have
attracted international attention. These
children, born together, similar to the
Siamese Twins, were the big feature IN
Chicago with the Ringing Bros Worlds
Greatest Shows at the Coliseum last
spring. Manager Kennedy, approaching
the value of this really extraordinary at
traction. secured the Samar Twins for
the Con r. Kennedy Shows. Eminent
medical men in various parts OF the
world have examined the Samar Twins
with the hope that it might be possible
by means of an operation to separate
these Filipino boys. Surgeons In Paris,
Iondon, Berlin, st. Petersburg, New
York and Chicago have given the matter
attention, but it would appear that the
Samar Twins are destined to live and die
together. There is nothing repulslve
about this feature of the Kennedy
shows. The Samar Twins are like other
children, full of life and vivacity, intelll'
gent and favored with q genial disposi
ton. They are known as Nature
