Loud In Praise Of Treatment Accorded
Them In Iron County

That the Shriners from the copper
country were we'll pleased with their
trip to Crystal Falls and Iron River
two weeks ago is evident from the fol-
lowing article taken from the Ishpem-
ing Record OF August q:
Marquette County Shriners who
caravaned to Crystal Falls and Iron
River last Saturday and Sunday are
loud in their praises of the very cour-
teous and generous treatment accorded
them by the members of the Iron
County Shriners club. The caravan
left Marquette Friday afternoon. Al
though the roads were dusty and the
watering places far between. the cara
van dispensed with the far-famed
camel and instead of humping up and
down on the humps of dromedary the
Fer clad Shriners made the trip In
gasoline cars. At Ishpeming the party
was joined by the members of the Pa
troll band. The trip TO Crystal Falls
was made without untoward incident,
only few minor breakdowns occur
ring.
1 One thing that was noticed on the
way down was the excellent farming
country through which the caravan
passed. Below Republic a real farm
ing country was encountered. II was
real touch OF Cloverland. Cleared
lands OF hundreds Of acres. containing
oats, rye. barley and hay gSeeted the
eye, and the crops were uniformly OF
excellent quality. Cozy little farm
houses, set off the road in clumps of
trees, relieved the monotony of the
grain fields, and here and there along
the road heavy farm team, returning
from a day spent in the fields. would
draw to one side to allow the caravan
TO pass. Occasionally the caravan
would whirl through forest OF state
ly hardwood trees, untouched by the
hand OF man, and again beautiful
lake, fringed by setting OF green
such as only the upper peninsula can
boast OF, would be passed.
Beautiful Witch lake. mirrored by
green clad hills and the setting sun,
and Sawyer lake, none the less beauti-
| ful, were passed, and the caravan pro-
ceeded through Charming. the junction
point on the Sc Paul railroad. Then Sa-
COLA was passed, with its lumber mills.
and huge smoke stacks reaching up
toward the sky. The ride from Sagola
was picturesque. The caravan could
see where hardy pioneers had carved
OUT clearings along the road. There
were waving fields OF grain. well built
and substantial farm houses, and as
the road wound in and out alternately
among the fields and pastures and the
forests OF stately hardwood, the seen
cry was such as TO inspire John Bor-
roughs or a Walt Whitman. Finally
Crystal Falls, pictul esquely set along
the side OF gently sloping hill and rs
lights beginning TO twinkle welcome
to the visiting Shriners, was reached.
And here, OF couI Sc, the fun began

TO VOTE ON LOCAL OPTION
Twenty Counties. Eleven In Upper
Peninsula 10 Witness n Campaign

PENINSULA 70 Mitness/a Campaign
1T would not surprise me in the
least II the vets circulate petitions
20 repeal the present local option law
by the initiative at the fall election
OF 1916, when the statewide pro-
hibition amendment to the state con-
stitution is submitted" declared
Grant Hudson, OF the Michigan
Anti-saloon league, today. in answer
10 question as-to what he thought of
the rumors to that effect.
Mr.. Hudson then went on TO say
that such course would be no sur
prise, as the ''wets" had done the
same thing in Ohio and other states
when the statewide prohibition
measures were submitted. but ex-
pressed himself as confident that in
the event such action was taken the
voters would stand by the dry" and
not take a chance OF losing what they
have already gained.
A big fall meeting to be held in
Lansing to prepare for the statewide
campaign and also TO prepare for the
local option fights in the 20 counties
TO be waged next spring will be one
of the big events of the campaign this
fall. Following the Lansing meeting
| II is planned TO hold big demonstra-
tion in the upper peninsula, probably
at Marquette, and speakers OF nation
| vide prominence will be brought into
the state Richmond p. Hobson may
be one OF the speakers, although the
matter OF his selection has not as yet
been definitely settled Capt Dan
Morgan Smith, OF Chicago, is another
spellbinder that is being talked OF.
The utmost care is being taken by
the committee OF the Anti-Saloon
league in its preparations for the
coming local option fights in 20 coun-
ties next spring and then the state
wide movement in the fall. II is the
plan TO try TO make the 20 additional
Icounties "dry" and thus be in better
shape for the fall statewide cam
lpaign. Eleven of the 20 counties
where local option campaigns will be
fought out in the spring OF 1915 are
upper peninsula counties. The list OF
90 counties is as follows; Ontonagon
Luce, otsego,. 1osco, Muskegon. Bar

BRISTOL Mine
SHIPPING ORE
RECEIVED ORDERS MONDAY--HAs
BEEN SHIPPING ALL WEEK
IRON ORE SALES ARE GROWING
Sales the Past Month Have Been
Much Larger and Are On
the Increase

The Bristol mine received orders
last Monday morning to ship some ore
and since that time this property has
been the scene OF much activity
Just how long the shipping program
at this property will keep up we are
unable to learn at this writing, being
informed. however. that the order re-
ceived was for only small shipment
Just at present but with indications
for a bigger sale little later on.
A full crew has been kept busy on
the steam shovel, all week loading the
ore from the stockpile onto the cars.
Cars are being loaded from the pocket
also.
Iron Ore Sales Grow
Iron ore sales the last month have
been much larger than have been re-
ported. 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 tons of ore have been
sold the last thirty days for delivery
the rest OF the season. The fact that
shipments are continually improving
shows that more ore has been sold
than has been reported. While wild
ore is plentiful and boats are being
fitted out by all who have idle yes
sells, considerable tonnage has been
covered by contracts, and II is under
stood more chartering will be done
this week. Season contracts made
Saturday are for between 100000 and
100000 tons. With trades and con
tracts, more than 100000 tons of ore
have been placed the last ten days
Those who predicted the season ore
movement would be 42.Ooo,ooo tons ar,
satisfied now that II will reach their
estimate without doubt. This means
there will be pleny OF ore the rest oi
the season.

Plant two seeds in hill, and make
the hills three feet apart, or they can
be planted in checkrows.
Keep the ground loose and mellow

begins to make little rootlike pods
which later develop into nuts. After
that all the work that is necessary is
enough to keep down the weeds.
