1T SURE LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS

A word to the pessimists: Cd The
Florence Iron Company OF Wisconsin
have announced the opening of the
Florence mine. CD They have or
dered new electric hoist for use at
this property. CD They will build a
new "dry" for the comfort of their
employees. Now these three state
ments should not leave any question
in the mind OF any person, but what
the company is sincere and will work
this mine full blast next year And,
another thing, after reading the above
It does not look as II the Florence
mine was down and out and a relic
OF the past as some people would have
the public believe. II you can't agree
with us and boost, then, as We have
said hundred times or more, please

ROAD REWARD LAW EXPENSIVE
q. p. Counties Have Paid Out More
Then They Got Back

In the course OF the past twelve
years, during which the system has
been in effect, the upper peninsula has
paid in taxes for state rewards for
roads, $50S, 634.65. In the same time It
has received back in awards $S1S,-
531.16. II the amount paid in taxes
had been expended directly on upper
peninsula roads during the period,
there would have been $195.10S.49
more spent In the district than has
actually been the case, and there
would have been proportionately
larger mileage of modern highways.
So the state reward system hasn't got
the upper peninsula anything but more
taxes
Only four OF the fifteen upper pen
insula counties have received more in
awards than they have paid out in
taxes, and Marquette is not one OF the
four. They are Alger, Delta. Menomi-
nee and Schoolcraft Delta has re-
ceived 200 more than II has paid
in. Menominee $4,000. and Alger and
Schoolcraft each over $4,000.
On the other hand. Houghton. which
got started little late with the coun.
tty road system, has paid in s114,oo(
more than It has received. and Mar
quette $4,000 more. Chippewa is mex
to Houghton in the amount OF exces,
OF taxes over awards, with $4,000.
Following are the figures on taxes
and awards for all the u. p. counties
