EXPRESS RATES MODIFIED
Michigan Companies Affected by Ac-
ton of Railroad Commission

A modified set OF express iates, based
on the rates recently approved by the
interstate commerce commission, will
90 into effect in Michigan Oct. lst,
according to an order of the Michigan
railroad commission, notice of which
has been received in Crystal Falls.
Several important changes from the
interstate rates will be noted in the
Michigan Interstate rates.
The express companies recently ap-
piled to the state commission for per
mission TO apply the new rates in
Michigan, but the commission refused
to assent to this proposal. The prin.
cipal objections related to the mini
mum rates and the new zone system
The minimum rate was sixty cents per
hundred pounds, an increase over the
present minimum. Michigan is partly
in two interstate zones The line of
separation ran across the state through
Grand Rapids and Owosso. Conse-
quently under the proposed rates a
shipper would have been charged more
for service north to Saginaw than he
would have been for the same distance
south, Saginaw being in another zone.
After considerable discussion both
the,e differences were adjusted.
Since the new rates have been IL
effect in the eastern states, such a.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, th'
express companies assert that the ship
pers have been benefited by an average
reduction Of from l2 10 10 per cent.
The rate for packages from seventy
FIVE to 100 pounds is Of much import
auce TO Michigan, owing TO heavy
shipments of ice cream and parts Of
automobiles.

PLAN FOR LARGER GRAIN CROP
Farmers Of Michigan and Other States
See Excellent Prospects

The farmers OF the upper peninsula,
as we'll as elsewhere in the Northwest,
believes that il will be profitable TO
increase their grain acreage next year,
as they anticipate that there will be
heavy demand for grain because of the
European war. A campaign has
already been started TO induce the
farmers OF Minnesota. Michigan, Wis
consin, North and South Dakota and
Montana TO put additional acreage into
grain and vegetables.
Canadians are also taking up this
program in earnest, largely under
encouragement from England, where
ii is believed that the surplus grain
that will be raised in this country and
Canada will be needed abroad next
year. The Dominion and various
provincial governments of Canada are
assisting in the movement.
An exchange says. editorially
The Ontario minister of agrioul-
ture is quite justified in the advice he
gives the farmers of this province to
SOW as large an acreage of wheat and
ther grain for next years harvesting
as they can make ready by both fall
and spring blowing They should do
this because all sorts of grain will b
in demand for human as we'll as animal
food, and also because devoting arabic
land 20 pasturage is in itself both q
scientific ard an economic blunder
Russia is a great wheat producing
country, but before long eight millions
OF meu will be engaged in the effort
TO crush Germany and Austria
Hungary instead of cultivating the
soil and marketing next years crop.
The vast majority of these men have
been withdrawn from agricultural
pursuits; a considerable proportion of
them will fall in battle many Of them
will die of wounds or disease not a
few of them will lose the habit of
farm work and drift in idleness ever
after their homecoming. Agriculture
in Russia will receive setback from
which IL will take years TO recover.
This will tend to raise the prices Of all
grains fit for human food all over
America. and the farmers of Ontario,
and indeed of all Canada, should
deliberately and intelligently and
persistently work for their own advan-
tage in the premises while thinking
also of the classes who depend on them
for the staff of life. AS the result
of the comparatively insignificant
Crimean war, sixty years ago, the
price of wheat in Canada rose to over
S2 a bushel and other grains in pro.
portion.

A DEAL FOR TIMBER
Warren Flanagan Planning For Large
Operations in the Woods

Warren Flanagan has recently pur-
chased the stumpage on 200 acres of
timber land west of Merriman Siding
on the st. Paul road, states the Iron
Mountain Press. The purchase price
was 81, 600. He also has an option on
1G0 acres which he will purchase as
soon as the papers are made out. This
tract Of land with what he now owns
in that vicinity will give him 800 acres
of good timber. This means three
years logging operations.
Mr.. Flanagan has contracted TO
furnish the Kimberley Clark company
at Niagara /, 0OO, 900 feet of logs and
600 cords of puplwood this season. He
has also contracted TO furnish 40. 200
pieces of mining timber for the Crystal
Falls and Iron River districts In ad-
dition to this input he expects to cut
9, 900 ties, 5000 telegraph poles and
90, 600 cedar posts.
Mr.. Flanagan is clearing farm in
the vicinity of his logging operations
and this year has planted six acres OF
potatoes, which. he says, are looking
fine and he expects large yield

SAW BIG BEAR
Two Local Hunters Run Across Big
Bear Near Alpha Road

While headed for Paint farm last
Sunday morning Charles Dawson and
Max Kluttig came upon a big bear,
about a mile east Of the Alpha road
and in the vicinity of Bjorkman' 8
farm
Upon getting sight Of bruin the boys
Immediately set upon plans 70 capture
him. Charlie, who has a great head
for schemes suggested that Max get
ont and kill the bear while he held the
horse, which was spirited one Ae.
cordingly Max got ont, faced Mr.. Bruin
and started pumping lead. Notwith-
standing the fact that the day was a
warm one, for some reason Max was
shaking too much to allow any OF his
bullets 70 take effect on bruin.
Nevertheless the first bullet fired
from the gun must have come uncom-
fortably close TO bruin who, instead OF
dropping, as Max had hoped reared
upon his hind feet and advanced
toward Max. who by this time was
shaking worse than ever In the
meantime Charlie. whose whole at
tentions had TO be given 10 his spirited
animal, tells us that he heard tive
more shots and looked mp when his
horse became manageable and saw
Max off in the distance, hiking it In
the direction of Tobin lake bluffs
while Mr.. Bruin was covering some
ground in the opposite direction
This was in the morning and Charlie
overlook Max late IN the Afternoon
and the two returned home late in the
evening without any further exper
fence.
