prn
Mr.. Mason has been commissioner
for several ,yeaIs. He held the ONCE
when il was not remunerative
enough for man to give his whole
time to II and during those days did
two mems work, one at his regular
clerical job and the other as com
missioner. Two years ago the super
visors decided TO make the salary
sufficient for a man TO devote his en-
tire time TO the work. They were inn
PEELED to this move by desire 20 give
the country schools more attention
and so Mr.. Mason was put on a salary
and since that time he has been de-
voting all OF his time to the work.
He has been especially interested IN
the boys organizations in district
schools and in rural and agricultu- al
Advancement Much OF his time has
been spent in the country schools and
he has been highly successful in his
work He has had but part OF a. term
in which TO lay his plans and II given
an opportunity TO develop them will
demonstrate his worth to the people
Of the county
Mrs Robinson is a teacher IN the
Iron River schools. She is the mother
Of chas A. Robinson OF the Lockwood
House OF this city and is highly spoken
OF as a woman Of ability and energy
by all who know her. She came TO the
county about three years ago from
Manistique and has many friends IN
the latter place who speak highly Of
her.
Mrs. Robinson IS reputed TO be very
well to do in this worlds goods and
her husband has position with the
electric light and Power Co. at Iron
River where they have lived since
coming to the county a short time ago.
Mr.. Mason's friends would like 30
see him have a second term IN the
office as It has always been customary
in Iron county to award second
term to the man who successfully con
ducts his Office during his first term.
Mr.. Mason gave up a good position
with the oliver Iron Mining Co. at
the solicitation of the county board
OF supervisors to give his time to Iron
county's schools. Mr. Mason's salary
as commissioner Is actually below
what his salary was with the Oliver
people and his friends regret to see
him moiested so soon after making
the sacrifice he did.
