Mr.. Dawson leaves the barber busi-
ness after having rounded out forty
five years in this line OF work. Out
of the forty-five years he has conduct
ed shop in Crystal Falls twenty-six
years. He first opened shop In the
building now occupied by the John
Tufts company, and what was known
in the early days as the Bannerman
House. At that time this place con-
tanned hotel and barroom, and an
other space was occupied by Mr.. Davi-
son for his barber shop. He remained
in this building for short time. after
which he removed to the building now
occupied by Biccigo Bros. as a shoe
shop Here he remained twenty-three
years. Three years ago he moved TO

FLORENCE NINE CLOSED.
Orders Issued TO Shut Down Florence
Mine for Winter.

Asst Gen. Mgr. f. A. Thieman re-
ceived orders on Monday TO close
down the Florence mine and the order
takes effect today, the mine being shut
down tight tonight
The pumps. however. will be kept
running all winter and Mr.. Thieman
gives assurance that the property will
resume operations next spring. The
shop crews, including machine. black
smith and carpenter. will be retained
Outside OF the shop crews, about 80
men have been employed at the Flor
ence and these will be given employ
ment at the company's other mines,
either the Ernst or Bates. The reason
for the closing down OF the Florence
is that there is enough ore now on
stock to fill all contracts. Great diff
Guilty has been experienced this sea
son for the lack OF boats for the trans
portation OF ore from Escanaba. II
Is very probable that the Ernst mine
will work steady all winter.
While the Florence mine has been
employing only a small force OF men,
the closing down comes as a blow to
all of us, and the order was put into
effect with much reluctance by the
officials here. The good people OF
Florence have certainly suffered many
set backs since her birth, but we, who
are here and here to stay can only
hope. pray and wish for the better
things that are TO come and must
come ito those who wait Florence

1916 SHIPMENTS
RECORD BREAKER
OFFICIALS BELIEVE YEARS RECORD
WILL BEAT ALL
100000 MORE THIS YEAR
Best Year In History of Shipping
Predicted ---924,243 Tons
During September

ore shipments from Escanaba docks
during the present year will exceed
last year by nearly two million tons,
and will break all previous records,
according TO the officials OF the North
western and ST. Paul railroads, who
stated Thursday that indications now
were for banner shipping year.
Shipments from the Northwestern
docks for 1916 will be nearly one and
a half million tons over last year, ac-
cording TO officials of the company.
Those in charge of the shipping from
the St Paul dock in Escanaba predict
that the 1916 shipments will exceed
those of 1916 by at least 100000 tons.
Shipments of ore from Escanaba
docks during September totalled 924,-
PAS tons. OF this amount the North
western shipped 671,94S tons and the
ST. Paul 242, 300 tons. Shipments last
September were 1,015,46S according to
the records OF the railroads.
The shipments in September were
not as large as last September, prob
ably due to a shortage OF bottoms, but
in previous months of this year, the
1916 records have smashed those Of
1915. In August the shipments total
led 1,079,169 tons as compared with
932,72 tons in August 1915.
ore shipments will be made for full
ly sixty days more and in this time a
large amount Of ore will be carried
from Escanaba. With all the bottoms
needed, the record from now until the
closing of the season should be brok-

BIG STEEL ORDERS.
Railroad Equipment Orders Large
Good Market Assured.

Steel mills now are accepting bust
ness for rolled products averaging be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 tons daily
which Is close to current capacity
Consumers, however, are compelled to
accept promises for more shipments
to be made I'm the third and fourth
quarters of 1917, as few mills can rea-
sonably make commitments on bars
shapes, plates and rails for shipment
before the first of July next year.
Tile greatest pressure is for marine
steel Some orders for ship-plates
5000 to 10000 tons have just been
placed for boats TO be constructed at
the Pacific coast yards for delivery
the first quarter Of 1918. Other mer-
chant shipbuilders are asking for ten
ders on tonnage amounting to 125,000
tons for shipment any time In 1917
One contract for $4,000 tons Of plates
Is being closed at four cents a pound
for longtime delivery The pressure
for plates for early delivery has en-
libled one mill to clear its yards Of
odds and ends at six cents a pound.
Marine boiler plates have sold at 10
cents pound for immediate delivery.
The United States government is as
sured an ample tonnage of steel to
carry out its naval program, calling
for 100000 tons OF steel next year and
for 100000 tons in the next three
years. The mills, II is said, will give
government orders preference. Al
ready bids have been submitted on
as 900 tons OF steel for government
ships, and some deliveries are prom
ised in 300 days
Railroad equipment manufacturers
have placed contracts during the week
! for 100000 tons of bars, plates end
shapes. die largest purchase being TO
cover the construction for the New
York Central. Other domestic rail
roads are negotiating for 5000 to TO-
900 cars and for motive power that
will require $4,000 tons OF steel.
Export business is excessively
heavy Russia IL about to close for
! 900 locomotives. for more cars and
10000 tons OF barbed wire France
wants 10000 TO 10000 cars and $4,000

thought underlying the day is ex-
pressed in the scriptural words "On
this day He will atone for you TO puri-
fy you from all your sins" II is a
day, therefore, Of reconciliation OF
man with his fellow-man and with
God. and comes as a climax TO the
holiday season which began Wednes-
day evening, September 27. with the
New Years Day and continued through
the ten days OF penitence On New
Years Day of Judgment of ordinary
people, who had been neither COM
pletely righteous nor utterly sinful
was left undecided and the opportuni-
ty was given them for repentance now
the Day OF Atonement provides all
men with the possibility OF returning
to their God and OF finding reconcilia-
tion with Him through prayer
The day is the most solemn OF all
days in tho Jewish calendar. II is
passed in fasting and prayer The
whole day is spent IN the synagog. In
the evening there Is the service which
commences with the chanting OF tho
well-lmown Kol Nidre prayer The
day proper has four services. OF these
the Mussal or addition service con
tains a description OF the atonement
rites as practical in the ancient days
i'm the Temple at Jerusalem; and the
Neilah service is understood to be held
at the time which decision is finally
made as to man's fate, and thus the
usual phrase, "Inscribe us In the book
OF life" uses the expression: Seal
US In the book OF life"
According to Jewish tradition ex-
pressed In an ancient law-book the
Day OF Atonemcnt. when spent I'm
praying and repenting, viii bring par
don for sins between man and God;
but as for the sins committed by man
against his fellow man tho Day can
not bring pardon until he has ap-
peased his fellow man. This idea ia
the basis Of the effort always made
before the Day OF Atonement to bring
peace between such friends who have
become estranged aud sre on un-
fiendly terms with one another; and
IN this way the day put the worship
per at peace not only with his Maker.
but also with his fellow man.
