THROUGH TO MASS CITY.
Copper Range Provides Evening Pas
seneer and Freight Service.

A new schedule has been put in eff
feet by the Copper Range railroad on
its Painesdale and Mass city route.
The train which leaves Calumet at
p. m. and leaves Houghton at $50 go
ing to Painesdale, now only a passen-
ger train, will be continued on to
Mass city carrying both passengers
and freight. 1t will carry freight from
Houghton. direct to Mass City. 1t will
arrive in Mass City at 1885. carrying
its through merchandise cars.
The train which left Houghton at
1895 p. m. for Painesdale and which
left Painesdale for its return trip at
1910. will now be discontinued as the
traffic is not sufficient.
The train which left Painesdale at
p. m. Is annulled by the new Mass
city arrangement, but passengers are
just as we'll accommodated as they
can take the Ontonagon train which
leaves 20 minutes previously.
The new freight service to Mass city
is considered excellent as II saves
nearly a days time. The freight II
o'clock will arrive in Mass. and be
ready for delivery early the next morn
ing.
one OF the greatest conveniences OF
the new schedule is that which IL will
give to campers, fishermen and hunt
ers They can leave Houghton when
their days work is done and go to
Twin Lakes.
At present there are two stations,
one at Faleston, another at Twin
Lakes. These stations are but a short
distance apart. People come down
TO them in the road between the two
and some go to one, others go to the
second.
The Copper Range will shortly aban-
don both of these stations and build
one in the center, half way between
Me present depots. This will be more
convenient for the passengers and
more satisfactory TO the railroad.

FORMER LAKE RESIDENT
IN HEART OF WAR ZONE
ANTON vUlvER, OLD LAKE LIN
DEN FARMER, NOW LIVES
IN LlEGE, BELGIUM.

In Liege, Belgium, city that has
been under fire for the past three OF
four days, and in which approximately
5000 German soldiers met their death
this week, lives Anton Vulver, Tor
mer Lake Linden resident. Mr.. Vul-
yer has "A son, Anton, Jr, resident al
Hubbell, and nephew, Joseph Vulver
of Lake Linden, both of whom enter
tain fears for the safety of their rela-
tive With communication practically
cut off there is little hope of securing
word from Mr.. Nulver, except by mail
and the annulment of the schedules OF
ocean steamers makes the possibility
of a letter from him very remote.
The elder Mr.. Vulver came to Lake
Linden when the town was first set
tied and he secured a tract of farm
land near Gregoryville. Gradually he
increased his holding and by dint by
hard labor, he amassed snug for
tune. In his old age, he determined To
enjoy life and he disposed of his prop
erty here and returned to Belgium.

A DEEP COFFERDAM.

One OF the deepest Embraced cof-

dimensions that have ever been con-
structed is now being built OF steel
sheet piling I'm the Hudson river at
West Forty sixth street, New York
city, to provide for rock excavation
and substructure work for 1,050-foot
steamship pier and deep slips ada
cent The construction was adopted
to secure, without bracing, independ-
ent stability against an unbalanced
maximum pressure head of sixty cight
feet.
The 150x1 $50 foot steamship pier
will be bounded on both sides by wide
slips excavated To "A depth of forty
four feet below mean low tide. thus
exceeding by four feet the depth Of
the deepest slip on Manhattan island,
IN order to avoid the possibility of q
deep steamer striking the rock bot
tom during an abnormally low tide. At
the outer end OF the pier the river
bottom consists of soft mud to n depth
~ more than $50 feet and the requir-
ed depth can easily be dredged.-En-

MEET DEATH
IN COLLISION
Train and Motor Car Collide
Twenty-Five Injured

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 6.-Thirty- eight
"a collision between north bound pas
senger train No. 2 OF the Kansas City
Southern railway and a Missouri Il
North Arkansas railroad gasoline
motor ear running on the Kansas City
Southern tracks near Upton Ford. ten
miles south Of here, last night. Mis-
taken orders are said to have caused
the accident.
Most of the dead and injured were
residents of Arkansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma.
According TO reports received here,
both the motor car and the train were
running at a high rate OF speed when
they met at a small siding.
With the collision came the explo-
sion Of the gasoline reservoir of the
motor car, which caused both the
motor car and train TO burn.
Every person in the motor car was
killed, it is stated. The injured were
pinned beneath the wreckage, and. as
the flames reached them, they begged
piteously 10 be released. However.
the fire quickly spread through the
wrsckase and made u impossible for
those unintured TO assist.
After being struck. the motor car
was showed back 800 yards by the
train. The motor car was left sus-
pended on the locomotive, the pilot
having plowed it's way under the car,
hosting it up.
Passenger Saves Nine.
None Of the passengers on the train
was killed. although the engineer and
firemen were injured, but not seri-
ously. The passengers were thrown
