agents at the stations were expecting

The receipts OF liquor into Crystal

increase over those OF the previous
month as may be seen from the table
we print herewith. The Fourth OF
July is pointed to as one OF the reasons
for this great increase as those who

SINS or COMMISSION

Under the caption silent Boosts.
the Iron ver-Stambaugh Reporter
last week contained the following:
While all Of the newspapers Of the
Upper Peninsula and great many Of
the big dailies printed accounts OF the
prosperity Of the Iron River district
In connection With the announcement
that more than 1000 miners are en-
ployed In this district, and great
deal Of favorable comment was noted
In the editorials OF exchanges, not
one word about the West Side was
mentioned In the Crystal Falls Dia-
mond Drill. The news
was the talk Of the East Side
as well a. In all mining districts,
but II n likely that the editor Of the
Diamond Drill wore smoked glasses
and had his ears stuffed with cotton
so that ne could neither see the fIarIng
letters nor hear the voice OF the people.
Which means that The diamond
Drill didn't comment upon the re-
sumption OF operations on the west
side because we are jealous. etc. etc.
Well. long ago when the editor hereof
was kid" he might have been guilty
OF such childishness but not In our
saner moments since we attained
manhood have we been guilty OF Il.
We didn't copy 1he article, but not
from the motive ascribed to our action
by O'Brien. We. who have lived neigh
Dor to the Reporter so long have gotten

the boot straps and didn't consider II

However. In casting our eye over the

pun from the Hon Sheridan Ford

rent IS under the surface and from
what we have seen and heard. II is GER
tain that the question OF enforcement
OF the law is going to be a hot one
when this smothered feeling gets to
the boiling point and II is all over the
''fayoritism" that Is claimed TO be
shown TO some over others. That the

is apparent and they are taking note
OF the men who get drunk and OF the
favors shown them. There Is reckon
ing time coming and II promises to be
warm one.
Must File Afiidavit
The new law passed at the last ses-
sion of the state legislature lays
another restriction upon the receiving
of liquor in dry territory in that each
person receiving any liquor must make
and file an affidavit with the railroad
that he is entitled to receive ship
ment of liquor. This regulation will
undoubtedly interfere greatly with re-
ceipts as many will refuse to file any
such affidavit and If such affidavit is
falsely made. the officers of the law
will surely get the maker.
Already there are remarks passed as
10 the probability OF another local
option election in two years. A few
mostly those who have been in the
business-expect another election but
those not interested, even among
those who drink, declare that the
chances are there will be no more

PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS.

How many Christmas presents have

rapidly. December has turned up on
the calendar, and the home stretch TO

II seems that Christmas is observed
on a more extensive scale every year.
That the preparations for the coming
holiday will be as elaborate as ever
before is practically certain. So pop
ular has become the exchange Of gifts

fore the great season Is the busiest

This work must fall by buying and

Considerable good has been accom-
plished through this campaign for
early buying. The mild weather Of
the present fall has kept away the
thoughts OF Yuletide preparations; il
takes cold snap TO start Christmas
buying in earnest. But why should
we base our actions upon the weather
rather than upon the calendar?
