MOST TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT IN
THE WORLD.

Political offenders in parts of
Mongolia are punished by lifetime i'm
notation in cottinlike boxes stored
away in dark dungeons. The horrors
of this punishment are graphically
portrayed in the cover design of the
December Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine. The boxes are only large
enough to contain a man. There is but
one aperture, and that no longer than
his head. His hands are manacled,
and twice a day attendants bring food
and drink, which are placed in the
shackled hands outstretched through
these round windows, which are his
only communication with the world.
Many highly educated Chinese, so 1t
is said, are imprisoned here.

Many Seek Tax Commission

A special session of the state tax
com mission was held at Lansing dur.
ing the week which was primarily
held 10 reconsider the taxes on the
Pioneer Iron companys property at
Marquette but which was attended by
many iron mining men from this
county in an effort 20 get their taxes
reduced
These TAX commission sessions are
not altogether new TO upper peninsula
people but to lower Michigan tax
payers they are a novelty. They have
been held in the past and great deal
of secrecy has attended their meeting.
The case Of the Pioneer Iron TO- has
been hanging fire for long time. The
company owns furnace plant aud has
iron storage yards, etc. at Marquette
and the tax commission placed u
valuation on the property, just az they
dia in this city The company thought
that il was over assessed and payed it's
taxes under protest for two years.
The present Session was called 20 see
If the difference of opinion between
the parties cannot be adjusted.
The Iron county mining men who
have been in attendance at the meet
ing are mostly from the west side of
the county, among those represented
being the Youngs, the Pickands- Ma
ther, the Davidson and other concerns.
Whether their journey 20 Lansing had
any connection with the denouement
in Crystal Falls where, when the roll
was uncovered, il was learned that
$500, 600 were taken of the mineral
assessment is not certain but II Is
likely that il had some bearing from
expressions given out.

several private repair marks on the
watch as follows 225L, 1132H. 100,

ROAD WORK PROGRESSING
Contractors Are Getting Started on the Sew
eral Pieces OF New Work

eral Pieces OF New Work
The county road work is progressing
nicely in Iron county and promises to
put the roads in pretty good shape in
side Of short time About the first
piece of work to be completed will be
the small section connecting the Tully
road with the McRss road on the
Iron River and Crystal Falls trunk.
This piece of work was in the hands OF
d. F. Boyle g. Co and will be nearly
comp eted by tonight. The half mile
was graded and surfaced, the gravel
being secured from the same pit that
the Tully road gravel was secured.
The hill at the county farm was re-
surfaced and rolled during the past
two weeks and is in much better con-
dition now than it has been for some
time The rock on the Crystal Falls
Alpha road is all spread and ready for
the roller. Two rollers will be put at
work on this piece OF road so as to get
/. ready in as rhort time as possible.
The spreading of rock on the Mans
field -Sagola road is progressing nicely.
Two crews are at work, one from
the Sagola end working west and the
other from the Mansfield end work
lug east
O. T. Olson, who has the grading
job, is nearly through with the piece
between Mansfield bridge and the top
of the hill AS soon as he moves off
ID. f. Boyle q Co. will resume work
on their hauling contract which had
to be suspended while Mr. Olson was
doing the grading.
On the Amasa cutoff Mr.. Hicks has
the clearing all done and work on the
grading has commenced This piece
of work ought to be finished by the
middle of July
Work on the Beechwooi- Gogebic
clearing ana last Sunday about two
thirds of the first mile had been clear
cd so that ID f Boyle g. Co who have
taken a sub contract from Mr. Nc
Grath were able TO start their men at
work getting the equipment on the
job this week They expect TO start
moving dirt next week.
The Fortune Lake bridge work,
which has been secured by d. f Boyle
d Co will be started next week Their
pile driver has arrived and the piling
is now being hauled Co the ground.

illness the proceedings have not been
printed so the people have not been
reliably informed on the matter,
From member of the board we learn
that the amount which the board
agreed 10 pay Mr.. PoyseoP is 81. 500.
that being 800 weeks at 81 per week.
Under the state law the payment in
case of fatal accident is limited TO
800 weeks at certain proportion of
the salary which the deceased was
earning. Under this law, if the full
amount was payed it would have
amounted 20 a trihe under So, 900. The
settlement was made under the state
law governing accidents and comes
directly under the jurisdiction of the
state accident board. The board re-
quired Rev Poyseor TO make the nee
essary affidavit that he was dependant
for support upon the deceased and
upon the advice of the board attor
ney, Sen. Moriarty, the settlement was
agreed upon subject, OF course, to the
approval of the state accident board.
1t Is rumored that this item has been
the subject of some consideration by
the association but 70 what extent is
not known The settlement was made
under the state law governing acci-
dents of the kind and the only ques-
tion that can arise is the business Of
the amount voted.
MASTODON TOWNSHIP ALSO
IMPLICATED
Another rumor has il that Mastodon
township is under consideration. The
proposed incorporation OF the village
OF Alpha has created some friction in
this township that may result in oppo-
sition Go the move The proposed
village takes in the mining properties
and it is this fact that leads Co the
difference OF opinion.
The Nevada Land Co feels that il
owes IL TO the people who have invest
cd their money in Alpha TO incorporate
village and they are going ahead
with IL with every Indication of sue
cess The place will certainly be

and quite a business section, also In
order 20 get the benefit Of the modern
