AUTOS COLLIDED
Local Car Figured In Bad Smash-up
Az Stambaugh

Last Saturday evening the Michigan
car owned by X. Jarvis OF this city and
driven by his son figured in head-on
collision with Buick six, owned and
driven by Albin Olson OF Stambaugh.
The accident happened near the
nober mine in the evening and was
caused by the smoke from the burn
ing gas at the Dober mine together
with hayy fog that was settling,
making IL impossible for either occu-
pants of the cars TO see each other un-
til to late TO avoid the collision.
Both cars were smashed up in pretty
bad shape, the Michigan suffering the
most from the accident
Occupants from both OF the cars
luckily escaped injury.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPOINT
Ed MAN TO PATROL ROADS
WILL ENFORCE DINNER LAW
Those Who Refuse To Dim Their
Lights M7i Be Shown No Mercy
By the Cop

The board OF Supervisors appointed
Joe Bittner as motor cycle cop this
,eek-a move that should have been
put in effect at the opening OF the
auto traffic Mr.. Bittner will go on
duty in the afternoon and evenings
and was given full authority TO ar
rest any one caught violating the
speed and DINNER ordinance. Auto
lists are cautioned TO dim their lights
when approaching another car and
also to round curves slowly as there
Is penalty for both.
The territory that will be covered
by the cop will include all OF the Iron
county roads, the principal ones be-
nc the Mansfield, Iron River and
Alpha roads.
In the past drivers of autos have
been careless in using their lights
properly. Most any evening in the
week a trip along any OF the roads in
the county Is rendered dangerous at
places because some driver insists
on going at high speed with his lights
at the brightest Every car he meets
IS endangered and its occupants put in
peril OF their lives because the lights
of the car ahead makes IL impossible
TO distinguish the road at any dis
tance ahead OF the car.
II isn't alone on difficult pieces of
road where the offense is committed
II is done on stretches OF perfect paw
ing, where there is no excuse what
ever for bright lights. but where the
effect OF them in the drivers eyes
might make him swerve into the curb
or even into the speeding car, with
dangerous results.
There is no sense, not even decncy,
In the way some drivers use their
lights, and IL il is necessary to prose
cute some Of them to stop the nuisance,
than IL should be done. There are
ordinances covering these points
fully and they should be observed

THROWN FROM MOTOR CYCLE

Charles Hansen was quite painfully
injured last Monday morning when
he was thrown from a motor cycle
which became unmanageable.
Charlie went down to Escanaba the
night previous to run the motor cycle
up from that place. He had just reach
ed the sharp curve near the water
works pond, and was going at high
rate of speed when the handle bars of
the new cycle became loose, causing

to throw him from the machine into a
pile of rocks along side of the road.
He received two broken ribs and sew
eral cuts from the fall.

The following item is taken from
the Cheboygan Democrat:
Congressman James is the best ad-
vertised first-termer that Michigan has
ever had He is a man with convic-
tions and is absolutely fearless in up
holding his ideas, which. by the way,
are not so popular today as they will
be i'm the near future He is abso-
lutely opposed to pork" in the mat
ter of erecting public buildings in
towns that do not need them. He Is
also opposed to foolish expenditures
OF money in the Improvement Of riv-
ers and harbors that are not on the
map. He is opposed to paying pen
sions to ex-soldiers that do not need
the money. and he wants all Of the
useless forts scattered about the coun-
try abandoned and the sites sold to
persons desiring to use them for
building purposes. No wonder he is
being mentioned In connection with
the senatorship Manistique Pioneer
Tribune
Congressman James is of different
type OF men than Michigan has been
sending to Washington. lie under
stands that lie is at Washington in
the interests of the state and not for
the exclusive purpose of furthering
his own political ambitions. He comes
nearer being senatorial size than any
senator Michigan has had I'm years,
and We hope to see him hold his big
ness and develop along the lines he
seems 10 be developing. Washington

MAS DECIDED BY UNITED STATES
COURT THIS WEEK
MsNcAsEs WERE INVOLVED
Mining Company Wins Partial VIC
tory in First Case Cases Tried
Here Last Month

The two cases brought by the Bris-
tol Mining Company against the City
of Crystal Falls were decided this
week by the District Court OF the
. United States for the Western Dis
trict OF Michigan Both cases were
!. tried late in June and the court has
since bad them under advisement.
Considering the fact that the final
briefs OF the attorneys were not filed
until last week, the cases were given
early disposition.
The first case involved the taxes OF
the year 1914 and the decision gave
the mining company partial victory.
The mining company in this case
brought suit for $4,000 but the
Judgment awards the company only
s1747.00. In this case, Clarence d.
Dwyer, OF the firm OF Moriarty 4
Dwyer, this city, conducted the de-
tense for the city and succeeded in
saving the school tax, which was sub
stantial portion OF the amount claim
ed by the mining company. The min
ing company complained OF the hori-
zontal reduction of twenty per cent
made by the city board OF review, un-
der the valuations fixed by the Board
OF State Tax Commissioners in 1912,
and also contended that the equali-
zation was faulty and that the statute
under which the equalization was
made was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Dwyer successfully defended
against both contentious OF the min
ing company in relation to the school
taxes but the court holds the twenty
per cent. reduction unlawful, with the
result as above indicated
The second suit was for the re-
coyery OF a portion of the 1915 tax,
which the mining company also paid
undor protest. In this case the min
ing company claimed $4331.OO Prac-
ticaily the same contentious were
made by the mining company as were
made in relation to the 1914 taxes
but il was developed at the trial that
In the year 1915 the mining company
made no appeal to the city board OF
review for relief, whereas such appeal
was made by the mining company In
year 1914. Owing to this failure on the
part OF the company, the court decid-
ed in favor OF the city. In this suit
the city was defended by City At
torney II. c. Fraser and Chas. h.
Watson, OF this city, as special coun-
sell
The Mining Company was repre-
sented In both suits by /. w. Byers and
l.. A. Lyon. both OF Iron River.
Considering that the mining com
pany claimed over $500 and re-
covered only s1747, the city has won
a substantial victory. Whether or not
any appeals will be taken has not
been announced.
