MEETINGS WELL ATTENDED

The dry" lecture at the city hall
auditorium last Monday night by DR..
Cairns OF New Jersey was so largely
attended that IL was impossible TO get
into the hall. At one time the landing
way at the door was filled with stand
ing men Dr. Cairns is a gifted talker
and kept his audience interested Tor
two hours during which he discussed
the questions at issue.
On Thursday the "wets" fired their
first gun with Frank Mcdonald OF the
500 acting as head gunner. He spoke
to an audience that filled the room to
It's fullest capacity, many having turn
ed away when standing room got
scarce.
The audiences are well divided be
tween both factions and the speakers
are given the most respectful atten-
ton by ALL an evidence that Crystal
Falls people want to hear both sides
and are willing TO give a respectful
hearing TO their opponents.
On next Tuesday night Hon. John c.
Lehr of Port Hun on will speak for the
"drys" and on Friday night Hon. c.
Homer Durand OF Cincinnati will speak
for the "wets"
Mr.. Lehr's work is familiar to sew
eral Crystal Falls people and he gets
great praise from them as a platform
orator.
MIR. Dui iand is the secretary OF the
Personal Liberty League and will have
for his subject "The Farce and Failure
of County Option" He is said TO be a
finished orator and as his work is
along the lines OF personal liberty. To-
cal people expect TO hear something
out Of the ordinary.
Both parties are carrying an ad
again this week in other columns and
in the Welfare space appears the copy
of the ballot as II will appear with the
proper marking for those who desire
TO vote dry" Look IL over carefully.

and the plate mills. Those works are
now going on basis Of IS per cent

ARBITRATION
HAS FAILED
SEAcRAvE co. AND CITY MEN MET
COULDN'T SELECT THIRD MAN
STOOD PAT ON PROF. GALLUP
SeagraVe Co. Wanted Chief Clancy
Of Milwaukee 10 Say if Truck
Would Climb Hill in Snow

The arbitration called for In the con-
tract between the city and the Seagraye
Company is off. II died aborning On
Monday last representative OF the
Seagrave Co and representative OF
the city met. They were unable TO agree
upon a third man and split resulted.
AS mentioned in last weeks issue,
the seagraye Company notified the city
that they had selected Mr. Mahoney, a
mechanical engineer, 20 represent them
IN the arbitration proposed under the
contract and stated further that Mr.
Mahoney would be in Crystal Falls
Monday, March 10. to meet the repre-
sentative from the city for the purpose
OF selecting third man.
The city council Immediately met
and selected j. S. Jacka as the repre-
sentative of the City of Crystal Falls.
Mr.. Mahoney arrived last Monday and
with him came Mr. Howard, the at
torney, Mr.. Lee, superintendent OF the
works and Mr.. Burton. the driver who
last tried out the Seagrave truck here.
Mr.. Jacka was notified and he came I'm
and the two men started in to select a
third man. Mr. Jacka proposed Prof.
Gallup of the Worchester Polytechnic
Institute, Worchester, Mass, an emin-
ent authority on fire apparatus and a
man who has been chosen to represent
the underwriters in their scientific in
vestigations. Mr.. Mahoney said that he
was not acquainted with Prof. Gallup
and wanted an hour 10 advise with his
people. After a short time he came
back with the statement that his people
wouldn't stand for Gallup and suggest
ed fire chief Mr. Jacka wanted to get
out OF him some idea OF the fire chief
that would be suggested so asked him
TO name one. lie came back with Chief
Clancy of Milwaukee, a man who IS
said TO be very partial TO Seagrave
Company apparatus and one not at all
acquainted with this country and the
difficulties encountered in negotiating
the streets here during snow storms.
Mr. Jacka promptly refused TO consider
any one but man with national rep
utation as an expert on motor fire
lighting apparatus and that man was
Prof. Gallup. The Seagrave fellows
threw up their hands in holy horror at
Gallup as he had on various occasions
acted in consulting capacity for the
LaFrance Company
The result was that no selection Of
a third man was made. the arbitration
was declared a failure and Mr.. Ma
honey, Nh Lee and Mr.. Burton return
ed home Mr. Howard stayed over, pre-
sumably with the intention OF making
arrangements for starting suit a
gainst the city.

The logging jobbers who have had
work along the North-weste.n system
this winter are loud in praise OF the
manner in which they were served all
winter by this system. One jobber in
reviewing his winters work and ex-
perience says that It was the best ser
vice ever given In the upper peninsula
by any railroad. 1--WE had all the cars
we could load and were not held up a
minute for switching or empties, q
condition that never existed before in
the twenty years that / have been
logging"
The NORTHWESTERN recently added
to It's equipment a lot of high capa-
city cars so that it has been practi-
cally impossible to overload the cars.
A man went along the branch this
winter visiting leaders and urged them
to load the cars TO capacity so that
cars averaged I, ON one to two thous-
and feet more per car this winter than
they did on previous occasions.
The management OF this division
seemed TO be on the alert at all times
Of the day and night TO give service.
With only a small amount OF timber
being put in this task wouldn't have
been so great but last winter there
was more timber put in along the
branch of the Northwestern than at
any time in recent years, Log trains
were running past Saunders every
hour at least during a portion Of the
winter and they were long trains, too.
The Boniface operations at Waters
meet were responsible for lot Of this
timber. all of it going to the paper mill
at Niagara. In addition there were the
usual shipments to Menominee and
Escanaba with the Won Platen people
taking a large amount of timber at
their Iron Mountain mill.
The credit for this excellent service
goes, OF course. TO Superintendent
Andrews of this division but in this
work he has been ably assisted by T.
NJ. Coughlin, the new assistant SUI
perintendent of this division In fact,
for several weeks during the heaviestof
the work Mr.. Andrews was away and
Mr.. Coughlln had the entire work 20
handle and he did II nobly
The plans were laid early In the fall
before the hauling got under way and
when the time came II was simply a
matter Of keeping the cars moving.
With the great amount Of logging go
ing on It was no boys task to keep the
trains moving.
Another notable feature OF the SER
vice was the little interruption to It
because of wrecks. There was practi-
cally no interruption on the branch
from that source

LANSING SKIES
ARE SQUALLY
BILL TO PLACE GAME DEPT. UNDER
DOMAIN COM. THE REASON
LIQUOR ORLECISLATION PUZZLES
Lines will Soon be Drawn and Life
WiIINOt Be as Enchanting For
Legislators as it Has Been

If Gov. Ferris sends in caustic
message vetoing the Game department
transfer, look out for fireworks, said
gentleman who came from Lansing
early in the week, Everything is
loaded and all that is needed IS an
opening by the governor"
The information ventured by the
gentleman in question conveys as ac-
curate an idea of the conditions exist
ing at Lansing as can well be put forth,
There is a decided political atmos-
phere apparent there that promises to
result in a first class political row.
Ferris Smooth Proposition
The republicans are just waking TO
the fact that Gov Ferris is the smooth
est thing in a political way that they
have had to deal with. He was elected
by republican votes both times. Dur
ing his first administration he man
aged to run things exceedingly smooth,
having in mind 1914. There were few
important positions to dole out and
master trade in the office of state
superintendent of public instruction
by which he gained one good place for
democrat that he wouldn't have got
had the then superintendent not re-
signed gained for him a reputation of
distributing the Offices. A few minor
places were given to republicans, in
fact a fair division was made con-
sidering that the governor was elected
as a democrat. When the governor was
returned II was thought by many OF
the republicans that voted for him that
the loaves and fishes would be divided
up. The banking commissioner and
the game warden we've the two inn
portant Offices to be doled out and
many thought that one democrat and
one republican would be chosen. Gov.
Ferris put a quietus on this talk by a
declaration that he was ambitious TO
find democrats who can acquit them
selves in Office as creditably as repub-
licans and he proceeded to appoint a
democrat to the Office OF banking COM
missioner. Subsequent appointments
revealed to the expcctant republicans
the fact that Gov. Ferris intended TO
exert his rights and appoint demo-
Gratis, the only course that he could
pursue and maintain his standing
with his party.
TO add TO the flames il is claimed
that leading republicans are taking an
active hand in selecting democrats for
Office. The banking commissioner ap-
pointed is said to have had more potent
support from the republicans than
from the democrats.
One thing led TO another until the
republicans determined 10 take the
bull by the horns and remove some of
the Offices to departmental positions
where they ought to have been all OF
these many years.

as never before in the history Of the
Usage nation. Fair Indian maidens
are dividing honors with their pale

ing a lively interest in the newest
craze among the fullbloods. For two
weeks the craze has been at its
height. The entire population turns
out afternoon and evening and II is
a common sight to see a hundred or
more skaters, both Indian and white,
gliding round and round the large
tent arena
The severe windstOrm last night de-
molished the tent top, but this will
