NEW LUMBER COMPANY


AT meeting OF the subscribers TO
the stock OF the proposed lumber
company, held last Saturday after
noon, the Iron County Lumber & Fuel
Co. was organized for the purpose Of
manufacturing lumber and dealing in
lumber and fuel at wholesale and
retail.
The company has already purchased
the Andrew Nelson mill and will start
up that factory at once to manufacture
out what logs have been purchased
during the winter. The cut will be
small this year total OF about 100000
feet being all that has been secured
but II Is the intention 10 supplement
this cut with lumber purchased and to
enter at once into the retail business
of both dumber and coal In this city.
The capital stock Of the concern Is
$4,000 and the company starts busi-
ness with the following board Of di-
rectors.
w. J. Richards, NJ. +. Richards.
Knud Nelson, Herman Holmes, H.
Poulsen, o. Croghan and j. A. Dahl
All excepting Mr.. Dahl are local men.
Dahl is the sawyer for the concern and
resides at present at Norway
He will move to Crystal Falls to re-
side here permanently and next week
will commence the work of getting the
mill ready for operations. The mill
will cut lumber, lath and shingles and
will finish the lumber sawed into
flooring, siding, shiplap and other
forms OF building lumber.
In addition to the present machinery
lath machine will be added to be run
with motor, Lath is product that
is much sought after these days, the
supply being hardly enough to keep
the market supplied.
In addition the company will do a
general fuel business in both wood and
coal That feature will not be pushed
at present but will be an important ad-
junct later on.
The officers were not chosen last
Saturday other than secretary ana
treasurer. O. Croghan was chosen to
MI that position. Mr.. Poulsen will be
the manager of the concern. II is ex-
pected that the directors will meet to-
day and finish up the work of organiz-
ing and order business started up all
around

Sixty families. we are told, will come

information comes from officials OF the
st. Paul road who haye succeeded in

understand that there will be sixty car
loads OF merchandise to be handled in
connection with the establishing OF
the colony.
The nationality OF the settlers is
Slavish and they Will settle upon the
tract OF Cochran Timber Co. lands

been worked up by real estate agent
in Chicago named Hamilton.

able and anxious to get settlers.
The new colony will necessitate the
extension Of the county road to the

SAYS IT'S NOT TRUE
Mayor Munns says That no Authority
has been Given TO Settle Case

Fiom source OF information out
side of this city, word came to us early
In the week that settlement was
about affected I'm the tax cases OF the
Bristol and Oliver Iron Mining Com
panies against the city for rebate Of
the 1914 taxes
In order to get information first
hand We went first 10 Mr.. Dwyer who
was engaged by the council to contest
the case and he informed us that SO
far as he knew, no settlement OF at
tempted settlement had been made !;
that he is confident Of winning the case
and wouldn't advise a settlement.
We then went to Mayor Munns who
informed us that so far as he knows
no man has any authority to say that
the cases will be settled: that he is
making an investigation and thatif he
becomes convinced that the city can't
win the cases or that they ought to be
comprised he will be in favor of com
promise; that personally he is not
well informed upon the merits of the
cases and can't speak intelligently
but that he is having an. investigation
made and hopes TO get informed.
We called upon Alderman Klesges
next and he stated that the matter
was new to him; Alderman Axelson
was the next man seen and he said
that he hadn't heard word on the
subject of settlement.
In an interview with Harry c.
Fraser, who will undoubtedly be city
attorney after May /. Mr.. Fraser stat
ed that he had made no settlement
and didn't know as any would be made.
When asked what Atty. Frank Bell
and /. w. Byers, attorneys respec-
lively OF the oliver Iron Mining Com
pany and the Bristol Mining Company
were doing here he stated that Mr.. Bell
called him up ON the phone and asked
him CFraser) IL he (Bel) could talk
with him (Fraser) on the tax case
matters Mr. Fraser stated that he
told Mr.. Bell that he would be glad to
talk with him and Bell came down that
night accompanied by Mr. Byers; the
two visited Mr.. Fraser's once and Mr..
Fraser said that he asked them If
they had any proposition to make to-
wards a settlement They told him
they had none TO make and asked him
for one He told them he had no au-
thority to make any proposition and
that was all that was said or done, Mr..
Fraser further stated that he didn't
know II the attorneys intended coming
TO Crystal Falls to attend the next
council meeting or not.

Alois Flood objects very strenuous
ly 10 the stigmatizing of all dfinka
made of the grape as grape Juice. :"
"Jim's" objection comes as the result
of the report OF the Welfare confer
ence last week in which there was
much said about grape Juice" and
grape juice joints"
II wish that you would call things
by their proper names, said Jim"
to reporter last Tuesday when
you are talking OF that alcoholic
drink call II grape wine for that ia
what it is. The regular grape juice
sold in sealed bottles. such as you see
on those shelves there are not that
kind at all but free OF alcohol.
"since your article came out have
had all kinds Of experiences here
During the week two ladies who were
served with grape juice got 10 dis

said. do you know that drink has
made me dizzy already, The drink
she was drinking had no alcoholin IL
at all.
1.-TWO men came into my store and
one asked the other n he wanted a
drink Of grape juice, to which the
other replied, i should say that don't
want any Of that intoxicating stuff
The first speaker knew the difference
and had to explain IL to his friend"
Mr. Flood and other dealers are
quite correct in their objection TO tho
indiscriminate use OF the word grape
juice" What Is known commercially
as grape Juice is a perfectly temper
ance drink and doesn't deserve any
stiematism. What was referred 10 In
the meeting as grape juice" Is tho
home made grape wine that ferments
and does carry alcohol IN larger
proportion than beer does.

STRAIGHT BILL KILLED
Question OF State Wide Prohibition Is
Now In Air Pending other Moves

The bill introduced In the senate by
Senator Straight, the dry leader in
the legislature, was killed by the votes
OF it's friends last week Friday.
The reason given for the defeat or
the measure was that the promotein
had been peeyed by the amendments
that had been tackled onto the bill, one
OF them providing for referendum IN
the spring of 1917 and the other for
making illegal In this state the sale OF
patent medicines containing more
than 20 per cent alcohol
The supporters OF the Straight bill
were divided. Some of them would
have preferred to have constitu-
tional amendment initiated, as that
would be written into the basic law in
case of its adoption whereas leg

EXTRAORDINARY AND INTOIERABIE CONDITION: THE

was dashed against France, whose only politi-
cal sin was her relations to England and
Russia
France had not given any cause of war
to either Austria or Germany: and one of
the anomalous features of the Armageddon
has been, that Servla was never seriously in
vaded until after the two German Kaisers
had failed to crush France or to reach the
English Channel. or to break the armies Of
Russia.
Having failed everywhere else, the German
emperors now Jump on little Servia and, by
the aid of the fresh troops of the perfidious
King of Bulgaria, the country is trampled
upon, and bleeding at every pore.
When the two emperors and the Bulgarian
King are checked in mid-career, by the
English, French, and Servians combined, the
war will have entered its final stage and the
three monarchs who bitterly detest democ-
racy, will suffer shipwreck.
But the conditions prevailing in our own
country are terrible and nobody knows what
another week will bring forth.
The President took the word of German
officers that the wireless stations in New
Jersey and New York would not be used un-
Eeutrally.
Those officers laughed IN their sleeves, and

It He year before Austria jumped on Servia,
and Germany on Belgium, the Prime
Minister of Italy was asked to agree to the
conquest of Servia.
Premier Giolitti made this statement in
italian parliament, some months after Aus
tria and Germany had precipitated the Arma-
geddon; and Austria has never denied it.
With the connivance Of Germany, the Aus
trian armies had already crushed Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the two Balkan states which had
been entrusted to Austria by the Berlin
Treaty of 1878.
Austria was to hold those little provinces
for the benefit of themselves and of Europe;
but she broke the compact, seized upon the
trust property and converted it into part
Of the Hapsburgh empire.
When she committed this great crime, no
other nation, save Germany, was in a condi-
ton to prevent it-and Germany was ready,
then to fight with Austria, just as she was
In 1914.
But Austria coveted Servia, also, and sought
the cooperation of her then ally in the Triple
Alliance. Italy refused to become party to
SO unproyoked war.
Jesuit intrigues, however, went right
along, until the King of Servia felt he must
yield to the demands Of the Pope, and enter
into treaty with him by which the Roman
Catholic hierarchy got itself officially estab-
lished, to be maintained at public expense
Hence three Greek Catholic states were put

under the feet of the Roman Catholic priests;
and you can easily imagine how the 100000
Greeks felt at being thrown under small
minority of Romanists.
When the Servian hot-head murdered the
Hapsburgh whom the Jesuits had so carefully
trained, blind fury took possession of them,
and they caused the old Emperor to require
Seryia, within "a hours, to surrender her III
dependence
When Servia and Russia and England all
begged for time, and for a reference of the
matter to the Peace Tribunal, their pleas fell
on deaf ears. The German ambassador, in
the Russian capital was asked how far Aus
tria meant to 90, in Furnishing Servia for the
crime of one man. and the German answered
haughtily that that was question to be con-
sidered at the end of the war
The Austrian army was moving and Rus
STA ordered hers to get in readiness to move.
Then the German Emperor told the Gar
of Russia that if he did not disband his
troops (demobolize them) within "a hours
Germany qcouzd attack.
The Gar continued to mobilize, to meet
Austria's invasion of Servia-whoses people
are of Che same race and religion as those of
Russia
Then, instead of attacking Russia, or help
ing Austria punish Servia, the German army

FEDERATION AND wATsoNs MAGAZINE.

'The Federation has called to time Watson S
Jeffersonian Magazine, published at Thomson, Ga,
which has been publishing series of insulting
articles entitled The Roman Catholic Hierarchy
the Deadliest Menace to Liberties and Our
Civilization. In these articles His Eminence James
Cardinal Gibbons called Jim Gibbons the
Jesuit CARDINAL OF his Excellency, Most Rev
Diomede Falconio Apostolic Delegate, the article
says: 1--WE find the Papal Delegate among the
diplomats who represent foreign nations at our
national capital; find this man (FaconiO)
everlastngly taking sly underhand part in our
political affairs The priests are called thick-lip-
ped, bull-necked men, who never do an honest'
days work in their whole lives.
OF relics and saints the article says: We see
nasty old human bones reverently appealed to for
cures. We see miracles worked, saints created
and adored.' We hear the declaration of
against our public schools We see gigantic sums
of our money taken for that seed bed of super
stition, the parochial school, ETC.
In short, the foulest language imaginable was
used to defame the Catholic Church and her
spiritual leaders Knowing that letter of appeal
to the bigoted editor would be of no avail your
National Secretary wrote friendly letter to the
reputable firms advertising in said magazine ap-
prsing them of the defamatory article and asking
them that if they respect the feelings of their
Catholic patrons they should send letter to Wat
expressing their disapprova of the method
he is using in defaming the spiritual leaders OF
