Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress OF modern medical
science is, perhaps. no more force

harsh cathartics and violent purEa-

THE RAILROAD RATE SITUATION

THE RAILROAD RATE SITUATION
II believe fully the members OF the
legislature want to deal fairly with the
rate subject, but they do not want TO
favor legislation tending to advance
costs to their constituents, unless II is
positively shown as being measure
calculated as being the best interests
OF all people in the state, and the rail-
roads are doing everything in their
power frankly and openly TO give
thcnl such information as will make
the railroads necessity obvious TO
them"
MIR. Walker, general manager OF the
South Shore, delivered himself of the
above and It listens good, anyway
But, we have yet TO notice any ex-
PLANTATION from Mr.. Walker to the
charge that, while Michigan patrons
of his railroad are charged scents per
mile. he is helping people OF North
West Canada on a basis of less than
one cent per mile by giving through
rates from points in Canada TO points
ia western Canada at Iidiculously low
fares
The trouble isn't so much that the
people think Mr.. Walker and his as
ISOLATED are telling falsehoods as that
they are telling only the facts that ar
que In their favor. II the Canadian
Pacific is being helped out by the
south-s Shore. as It is claimed II is.
there Is absolutely no reason why
Michigan travellers should be assessed
extra to defray the expenses Of peo-
pIing Canada. It's quite evident that all
the cards are not on the table.

II is claimed that the ore from the
Hilltop and the Victoria form a juno
ton to the north of the old workings
and many think that the big end of the
ore holding in that locality is to the
north of the old workings.
In addition there is a considerable
ore reserve left In the old mine at a
great depth. The size OF 1t is not suffi-
cient to warrant the sinking of a
shaft but with some ore shown up to
the north to aid out in the shaft ex-
pense the old Crystal Falls ore de-
posit could be prohtably tapped and
mined.
Stripping TO be Resumed
From Alpha comes information that
the Office force OF Winston Bros. for
the stripping job at the Balkan mine
will be on hand the latter part OF next
week and that II is the intention OF the
company to get things in shape to
start work on the job about April 1.
II will take a couple of weeks to get the
shovels, cars, engines and other equip
ment ready and week or two after
that to get things moving well so 1t is
undoubtedly the intention of the Win
ston company to get things shaped up
so that the dirt may be moving with
mid season dispatch by May Is
1t will take most of the coming sum-
mer to get the overburden off the ore
deposit and then 1t will be known just
what plans are contemplated for the
prosecution of work at the Balkan in
the future.
