TO FIGHT FRATERNAL MEASURE.
Committee Organized In Iron County
and VIII Work 10 That End.

Through the efforts Of field secre-
tary OF the Michigan Fraternal Voters
league, who spent a few days in this
county. the officers and members OF
fraternal societies have united forces
TO defeat the proposed Fraternal Con
stitutional amendment. which will be
voted on November 7th. The amount
OF sentiment against the amendment
indicates that II will be as badly de-
feated as IT was two years ago. The
pending amendment is said to be
more unfavorable 10 fraternal socie-
ties than the one which was rejected.
The amendment was attacked by
both press and members OF the frater-
nal societies with vigor prior TO the
last election and Il was showed under
so deep that IL was thought IL was
killed for all time to come, but the
officers OF the New Era association,
who favor it, Immediately took steps
for resubmission.
The following committee will han
die the fight in Iron county:

VISITED CRYSTAL FALLS.

John Wickstrom, wellto-do man
ufacturer Of Wasa, Finland, was in
the city the first part of the week on
visit TO Andrew Ostrand and other
friends OF this city. Mr. Wickstrom
was an early resident of Crystal
Falls. having resided here a short
time twenty-sevon years ago. He is
well known by many Of the old time
Finnish and Swedish residents. He
moved from this city TO Florence and
worked in the mines about there at
the time Aryid Bjork, who is now
Supt. of the Bristol mine, was time
keeper at the Florence mine.
From Florence Mr.. Wickstrom went
TO Chicago and took up studies In
mechanical engineering While in
Chicago he became interested in a
company that made gas engines. Ten
years ago, after gaining considerable
knowledge in mechanical engineering
he went back to Wasa, where he and
his brother started motor factory
and today they are very successful
manufacturers They are giving en-
ployment to over 100 men and their
business runs up TO one million
marks tS2OO 600 IN this country an
nually.
This is Mr. Wicbstrom's third trir
to this country since the war started
and Is made necessary from tho Ia
that it is impossible for their com
pany TO buy certain parts that they
need in the manufacturing OF engines
In their country on account OF the
war. After finishing his purchasing
I'm New York. Detroit and Chicago he
came on to this city before his return
While in the city he was taken
around in John Stolberg's car on 8
tour OF the county and expressed
great surprise at the many improve
ments and wonderful growth OF the
county since his last visit here.

MOTORCYCLE HIT POLE.

Earnest Twa was quite painfully
injured last Tuesday night when
motor cycle he was riding came in
contact with a telephone pole which
someone had stretched across the
road
The accident happened when Earn
est was coming TO the city from the
Tobin location. He was coming
along at fair rate OF speed and no
ticed an object in the road but
thought II was a shadow OF n tele-
phone pole along side OF the road. He
was thrown from the cycle and was
quite badly scratched up as a result
of the fall. He made the trip TO the
location earlier in the evening and at
that time the road was clear. The
pole was laid across the road after
he reached the location and, judging
from the size and weight OF II, the
work must have been done by several
men. Sheriff Sensiba is working on
the case but to date has no clue as TO
who put the pole across the road.

HUNTERS SIGNALS.
Northern Forest Protective Associa-
tlon Announces Its Code.

The Northern Forest Protective as
sociation, through its secretary. Thos.
B. Wyman, has again shown its inter-
est In the hunters and woodsmen OF
the upper peninsula. by issuing a
Code OF Signals" to be used in case
OF accident, or necessity 1t has been
the custom for hunting parties to have
their own agreed upon signals, but
such signals convey no meaning TO
others who may hear them. and a
generally known code is OF great value
in emergencies.
The basis of the code is the use of
firearms, and in order 10 avoid confu-
sion, four shots, timed differently, are
made to express the five suggested
signals. The code follows:
Help-Four shots in quick success
sion, oooo.
Injured pause, two quick
shots, pause. shot, 1000.
Lost-Three quick shots, pause, one
shot. ooo--o.
Man Found-one shot, pause, three
quick shots, 600.
Call Heard Two quick shots, pause,
two quick shots, oo-oo.
Large placards have been printed
and are being posted by the wardens
Of the Northern Forest Protective as
sociation in hunting camps and shacks
where hunters are likely TO spend the
season. Sportsmen desiring a pla-
card for their camp may procure Il
gratis by writing 10 Mr. Wyman, at

STEEL PRICES
STILL CLIMBING
RECORD OUTPUT IS EXPECTED FOR
THIS QUARTER
CLAMORING FOR PRODUCTS
New High Record For Steel Prices
Was Set During the
Last Week

Steel prices are climbing, and as
experts view IL, the top has by no
means been reached yet Buyers are
reported to be clamoring for deliver
les OF products of all kinds at the in
dustrial centers, and high premiums
are current upon steel for immediate
shipment.
Some experts in the trade express
their conviction that present quota
tions for steel will look cheap before
next spring. A new high record for
steel prices was set during the last
week with the average quotation upon
eight of the leading products stand
ing at $62.66. . That compared with
the previous high of $621S. establish
ed in the last week of September, and
with only S34.5S in October, 1915.
The market in pig iron and semi
finished steel is especially strong.
with sales of large lots of bessemer
iron at Pittsburgh reported at $23 and
Of basic iron at $3.50. A large part
OF the enormous demand has been for
foreign account, and Il is said that
domestic consumers are unable to get
their orders filled
Reports show that the steel com
panies are operating at full capacity,
and It is believed that record figures
in iron and steel outputs will be es-
tablished during the last quarter OF
the year, Profits per ton are conceded
to be larger than at any time since the
European war began.
What experts regard as especially
satisfactory at this stage is the de-
velopment of business i'm railroad
equipment. Mo:e freight cars are es-
timated TO have been ordered last
week than in any previous week Of
this year The number OF cars bought
during September figured up at 16,340.
Since Jan. /, the number OF cars or
dered aggregated 94,344. as compared
with 70i341 during the same period in
1915, and 1916 in 1914 More than
10000 cars are estimated to be now
under negotiation, and in that list
some Of the Northwest roads figure.
The steel companies of the country
are said to be now making the best
showings in earnings in their histor-
les and to be employing more men
than ever before.
On top of estimated United States
Steel corporation earnings Of from
$9O,OOOOOO to S95,OOO,OO0 for the cur
rent quarter. sensational figures are
being put out by the Independents At
the last annual meeting Of the Mid
vale Iron & Steel company, the presi-
dent, w f. Corey, reported that its

FIEND ATTACKS
TWO CHILDREN
TRIED TO ENTICE TWELVE YEAR
OLD GIRL INTO WOODS
MAN IS STILL AT LARGE
Girl Refused To Go With Him After
Which He Disappeared and Later
Attacked 6 Year Old Child

Last Monday morning between the
hours OF eight and nine o'clock some
fiend attempted to attack the twelve
year old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Rahr OF the Fairbanks location and
later attacked the little six year old
child of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Auto
OF the Hill top location.
The fiend first approached the little
Rahr girl on the east end of the Falls
bridge, telling her that he had met
her teacher and that she requested
him to tell all the children he met
from her room TO bring maple leaves
to the school. The child became in
terested in this story and stopped TO
listen. He then asked her TO accom-
pany him 10 the woods, saying that
he would help her TO get the leaves.
The girl refused 10 do this, but told
him to go get the leaves and she
would wait at the bridge for him.
Seeing that he could not induce the
girl TO 90 with him he left her and
started in the direction of the woods
The girl believing the man had
gone TO get the leaves, waited long
time and then left for school, coming
in after the classes were called. Up
on being asked by the teacher for her
excuse for coming in late, she told
her story Of meeting the man and
what he said The teacher immedi-
ately reported the matter to Prof
Hill, who i'm return notified the Off
GERS at once and the hunt for the man
began.
II was about the time that the Off
GERS were getting busy to look for
their man that the report of the sec
ond attack came to them. this time
on the little six year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Auto of the Hill
top location, and had it not been for
the appearance of a Polish woman.
who happened along, he would have
succeeded I'm his second attempt. He
met the girl on the ST. Paul bridge
between the Great Western and the
old Crystal Falls mine The little
girls story is that the man grasped
her by the arm and led her under the
bridge where he pulled out a knife
from his pocket, threatening 10 kill
her IL she cried out. Not needing his
threats the frightened child. seeing
the Polish lady approaching screamed
out. whereupon the man became
frightened aud started off il the di-
rection of the woods. The lady inn
mediately notified men at the location
and a search was begun but the man
could not be located Officers we're
notified OF the second attempt and
more deputies were engaged and soor
were securing the woods all around
east OF the Paint river.
Charming, Sagola, Randville and
other towns were notified to be on
the lookout Tor the man.
The only description that either of
the girls could give is that the man
was about middle aged and dirty
looking.
The man Is still enjoying his free
dom but Sheriff Sensiba. assisted by
his deputies and Chief OF Police
Broad, have their net well laid for
him and expect to land him before
, long.
One suspect was picked up near
Holmes camp near Sagola but was
later released by the officers when
~e'ther OF the girls recognized him
as their assailant.

IRON ORE PRICES.

II was reported In Cleveland this
week that two firms have made large
reservations for iron ore for next year,
but prices for 1917 delivery are not
being quoted at this time However,
Il Is believed that the prices will be
determined shortly after the present
shipping season comes to a close. and
It is almost certain that there will be
an advance
Pig iron prices were raised this
week, and some furnaces are now ask
ing from $23 to $25 ton for bessemer
grades. This is almost double the
prices that were quoted at the begin
ming Of the European war. while iron
ore prices have advanced very little.
There wan an advance OF from so to
rs cents ton over the 1915 prices,
but there is no doubling the fact that
the iron mining companies have not
received prices that are in just COM
parison TO the advances in pig. Some
mining concerns held back their bes-
semer grades this year, not caring TO
dispose OF the ore at the low prices,
and 1t is thought that they were wise
in doing so as the same ore will com
mand more money in 1917.
