STARVING CHILDREN
The Diamond Drill Has Been Asked 10
Call Public's Attention TO Them

The Diamond Drill has been asked 10
say word in behalf OF a woman and
several children who we're brought to
Crystal Falls recently, the woman be-
ing confined in jail as q witness in
case and the children. after having
been taken away from here, were re-
stored after she started house keep
ing in this city.
The woman has tried to get work
but II is represented 10 us that she has
not been overly successful and that
the authorities refuse to do anything
for her, the Crystal Falls authorities
for the very good reason that she Is
not city charge but one that has
been foistered upon us by the exi-
gencies Of the case.
She. IL properly charge against
Stambaugh township but does not re-
side there and so that township is not
at all keen about getting her and tax
ing her back Az the same time that
the fine questions OF law are being
solved the children are going hungry.
Our informant described the system
OF township maintenance OF its poor
and pointed to this instance as one OF
the many injustices about under IL.
IF we had the county system OF
poor this woman and her children
wauIdn't have to suffer from hunger
while their residence is being figured
out, said the gentleman. Il tell you
that this system pursued In Iron
county is wrong and should be chang
ed. The poor commissioners should
take care OF the poor all over the
county irrespective Of whether they
come from-so long as they belong in
the county
~ have seen In your paper comments
NsnJon the widows Pensions" act. III
fwe had the proper poor system in the
county you would hear nothing OF II
because the county would be support

fund or the pension fund The reason
that you hear more Of the pension n

and not the county are caring for IN,

aor what they are worth and are en-
titled 70 some thought whether the,
are on the right or wrong track.

The Halby ore loader, a machine de-

the market by company owned by
Mr.. Halby and Nels Flodin OF Mar

daily operation at the Judson mine,
not for exhibition purposes but in
regular mining operations. The ma
chine has passed the experimental
stage and is now ION the pay roll" as
the .ofiiciai ''mucker' OF the second
level.
A representative OF The Diamond.
Drill had an opportunity to witness
the work OF this machine last Wednes-
day morning. II was working in one OF
the main drifts being driven to open up
the second level and no extras were
put on fol our benefit; Just the or
binary. every day performance OF the
machine.
The loader, to non-professional
eye, combines some OF the principles
OF steam shovel and threshing
machine, the steam shovel properties
being exhibited on the front end and
the threshing machine on the rear
where the ore comes from the carrier
belt like straw from separator.
II is about 5iA feet in height and
eight feet long and mounted on pair
of trucks which are propelled by the
motor driving the machine and by
means OF which IL can be wheeled
about the level on the tracks laid for
the tram cars.
The digging or shovel part of Il is
scoop shaped shovel worked by an
eccentric on the front end OF the ma
chine. In order TO get the crowding
motion, similar to that when a tram

ore, there are two movements forward
that can be used, comparatively
slight one OF this shovel itself as II

A BIG RAID
AT IRON RIVER
LOCAL OPTION ADHERANTs WENT
CUNNING AND GOT FOUR scAlPs
INCREASE INLIQUOR RECEIPTS
Month Of July Saw Much More
Booze" Arrive in Crystal Falls
Must File Affidavit

Patience ceased to be virtue with
the "drysp at Iron River and a raid was
made Thursday upon the places which
were suspected of selling liquor.
The raid was conducted by corps
OF deputy sheriffs headed by Rev. Rut-
ledge who is now at the head OF law
enforcement league In this state. Chas-
Mcfarland was one Of the deputies
drafted for the raid and that they did
their work well is evidenced by the
complete success scored.
Plan Of Operation
The plan of operation was to secure
a search warrant and then 10 close and
lock up the building against which the
warrant had been issued. The party
surrounded the p emises so that no
one could get out nor anything in the
house be spirited away.
In four places liquor was found and
the owners or occupants were arrested.
The places were the Iron Inn, st.
Johns Club, Flannigan's temperance
saloon and the Callari temperance
saloon at Palatka.
Under the local option laws 1t is not
necessary that person be caught
selling liquor. Any place, excepting one
used as a residence, and any place to
which the public resorts is under the
ban of having liquor in any quantity
upon the premises.
Have Been Beld
Reports have been coming from
Iron River right along that there was
considerable boldness exhibited in the
/ liquor law defiance over there and II
was limited That day of retribution
was Imminent There has been a mis-
conception of the law all along which
this raid will effectually remove. II
has been generally supposed that a
person had to be convicted of selling
the goods. That. as can be- seen, is not
the case All that is necessary is to find
the goods on the property.
There seems to be a determination
among the local option people to en-
force the law. The reason that they
have not been right on the heels OF
these violators all of the time is, we
are told, they want4to give them enough
rope so that they will be sure TO make 9
good job of hanging themselves.
Was. Well Posted
That Rev. Rutledge was well posted
on Just where to find the goods is ap
! parent from his actions during tn,
search of the premises. When the Iror
Inn was being searched no liqucl
could be found by the officers. Mr.
Rutledge says. Come on with me

ENDANGERING LIFE
Floating Logs in Fortune Lake n
Menace TO Safety OF Many

The Diamond Drill has been request
ed TO say something about the habit
some persons residing on the shores OF
Fortune lake have of cutting logs and
letting them float over the lake. Boats
are liable TO be upset by them as the
hardwood floats low in the water and
cannot be seen at night, especially.
The shores of Fortune lake are get
ting built up quite extensively with
cottages and one of the chief means OF
enjoyment is boating OF an evening.
There are women and children in many
OF the boats and they can't take care
OF themselves as men can. Last Tues
day evening a boat containing two
women ran onto one OF these fioaters
and nearly capized We are requested
to ask the person who cuts and sets
these logs adrift not to do so any more,

FAIR BOOSTERS HERE
Iron River People Turned Out In Large
Numbers to Boost for the Fair

Twenty-four automobiles loaded
with Iron River, Stambaugh and Bates
citizens visited Crystal Falls last
Tuesday and spent couple OF hours
here, taking dinner at the Lockwood.
They had band and a negro singer
with them and while in the city they
made things hum In true Iron River
fashion.
The object of their visit was TO a
rouse interest In the coming Iron
County Fair which is to be held on the
Agricultural Society grounds on Sept.
8, z and 8. Their visit to Crystal Falls
did the fair a lot of good as many OF
our people were made aware OF it's
coming that wouldn't have otherwise
and there will be an effort made
to reciprocate the visit OF the west
side party.
The automobiles were all decorated
with banners proclaiming for the fair
and the advertising corps carried the
piacards and bills along with them
and made generous distribution OF
them all over the city.
From here they went TO Alpha where
they spent couple OF hours and ther
returned to Iron River.

There is an erroneous opinion out
regarding the area Of ore In the Jud-

that the entire area between the wall
on the southwest and the Balkan de-
rosit to the north is continuous BODY

Mastodon valley is represented In a

formation OF the valley. One lens is
represented by the Balkan mine, an
other lens is what is known as the
Longyear and is the main body OF the
yudson mine; another lens is that
known as the McGovern and is the
first ore opened up by the Judson peo-
pie; another lens not yet attacked is
the Carpenter lens. Between these
several lenses there lies body Of JAS

While II is true that the ore body

che ore lenses are large ones and re-
present good sized mines in each in

the McGovern lens.
The general pitch of the formation is

 Both Austrian and German ambas sadors are understood to have tele- sraphed their governments urging a suspension of submarine attacks on passenger ships while the diplomotic discussions are in progress because of the serious situation that has arisen in the United States from the sinking of the Lusitania.
