Leaders In the County.

representative Of The Diamond
Drill had the pleasure OF visit 70 the
farm OF ]. T. Gibson near Amasa one
day during the week and TO say that
we were surprised is putting II mild
ly. We were simply. amazed at the
rapid progress Mr.. Gibson has made
In Transforming his farm property
from cut over land to a modern, up
to-date farm. Not alone has he bent
his energies towards clearing and
seeding the land but he has equipped
the property with fine buildings and
stocked II with the very finest OF
stock.
The new county road will pass
along the east line OF Mr. Gibsons
farm so that II will no longer be hid
den from sight. Next season autoists
can drive right up to the place and II
will certainly prove to be big ad-
vertisement for Iron county farms.
Mr.. Gibson was at the farm the day
we visited II and took especial pride
IN showing rs through his piggery
where he has so pigs housed some of
them nearly ready to kill, some Of
them just weaned and others that will
be ready for roast in a few weeks.
The house is we'll built of lumber and
has a wooden floor. The building is
about so feet long by 20 wide and the
inside is arranged with pens on either
side with an isle down the center. The
pens are OF different sizes according
to the use they are put TO. The at
tendant carries the food down the
isle and pours it into the troughs
through openings made for that pur-
pose in the front OF the pen There
Il none OF the waste and crowding
noticed that Is in evidence when the
feed Is poured from above,
The house is easily cleaned and
when the ventilators are in all the
odor will be removed as we'll as the
vapor.
Mr.. Gibson's main barn. although OF
dimension OF about 30x60 is too
small and he Is adding to 1t n wing

entirely for housing his cattle. He
has % milch cows now and will have
before spring a total of over so head
OF stock The hay compartment OF
his barn contains 100 tons Of hay and
IL Is fine hay, too. In addition Mr.,
Gibson raised several acres Of oats
that yielded 60 bushel TO the acre, n
large amount of root crops and
enough corn to fill a. big silo that
stands at the end of his barn.
Mr.. Gibson intends to keep on de-
veloping his farm in the dairy line
until he has one of the finest dairy
farms in the peninsula His cattle
are all high class and some Of them
are high priced as well. Anyone in

TWO MEN MEET
HORRIBLE DEATH
WERE CRUSHED UNDER LOG SKID.
DER m COLLISION
AT SAWYER GOODMAN'S CAMP
Cars Brake Loose From Engine
and Men Didn't Obey Orders
to lump

William Quigley and Caesar Void,
two employees at the camp OF Sawyer
Goodman e. Co, had their lives crush
ed out in collision last Tuesday
morning. The accident happened near
the Alpha school house about 1900
o'clock a. m.
The men, with a number OF others,
were employed i'm taking up rails from
a track which the company had COM
pleted digging operations over. An
engine and two flats. along with car
which carried the skidder, were being
used for the work, AT the end OF the
track, which was located at the foot
of a grade. two cars loaded with rail
were stationed and in order to hold
them securely they had been chained
TO the rails. The skidder was being
Used 20 hoist the rails and was sta
toned next to the engine. The two
flats were ahead OF the skidder and
were used to pile the rails upon. a
number OF workmen were upon the
fiat cars while the engine and cars
were moving along over the rough
track.
The car which carried the skidder
was attached to the engine by means
OF a knuckle coupling and it happen
ed that when the engine passed over
a rough spot in the road the half Of
the coupling on the engine was low
cred so much that Il slipped entirely
out Of the half on the car This al
lowed the cars to get away from the
skidder and they started off down the
grade towards the two cars which
were chained to the rails, the empties
ahead and the skidder last.
The foremen yelled 10 the men on
the cars TO jump and all OF them did
so excepting the two who lost their
lives. They stuck TO the cars which
continued on down the grade with a
constantly increasing momentum and
collided with the cars chained TO the
rails, when they were brought sud
denly to stop. The impact was so
great that the skidding machine broke
the cable which held It and was
thrown ahead over the other cars,
passing over the two men and mang-
ling their bodies in horrible shape.
The bodies were dropped between the
first and second car and the skidder
continued on across the other car and
brought up against the rails where 1t
was stopped.
The two men had just commenced
to work ouigley had been on the
rolls a couple of days and Vol start
ed the morning OF the accident
Coroner Dawson was summoned
Immediately and went to the scene
but as there was no question as T.
how the men met their deaths, no I'm
quest was held.
The men were non-residents and
came here from some where down in

The closing out OF ore shipments
from Iron county mines is now In
progress. Ii will last throughout
next week but after that there will
be but little ore sent out OF this sec
tion for the season OF 1916
Shipments have been made from
this section in December and IL may
be that some ore will go forward
during that month this year but in
the main all the ore that is to go out
will be sent this month as the insur-
anee expires December /.
Among the mines that have been

work early in the week and consider

the daily output sent forward. The
Carpenter has been holding onto it's

quite surprise.
Phe Corrigan- Mckinney mines have
been closed to shipments for several
weeks. all the ore that they are now

Shipments VIII BE Large.

The large stockpiles that are in
evidence AT many of the mines would
lead an uniformed observer to be
lieve that the ore shipments from the
county were not heavy the past sea-
son but such is not the case. The
shipments were heavier than they
have been in the county's history. As
an example, the Pickands-Mather
group of mines in this county have
forwarded over a million tons; the
Corrigan- Mckinney group sent out a
half million tons so that when all Of
the other interests are added there
will be a big total shown.
The total shipments for the Lake
Superior section are going to be great
ly in excess OF those OF the previous
hign record and greater shipment
than ever Is predicted for the coming
season.

Assistance in Buying Sheep

Matters pertaining 10 farming and
kindred development occupied the
greater part OF the attention OF the
county board OF supervisors at It's
meeting held last Saturday In the
court house. The supervisors found
that there were no important matters
of legislation to occupy their time so
they listened TO the plans as expound-
ed by Mr.. Hane Of Iron River on
grist mill proposition and County
Agent Hoopingarner on sheep and
stumps. The result Of the appeal to
the county dads was that committee
was appointed 20 investigate the prob
lens and that committee will report
al a meeting OF the board TO be held
on December 8.
The GrIst Mill Project.
The principal spokesman for the
grist mill project was Mr.. Hane OF
Iron River who appeared in the in
terest OF the farmers Of the west side
OF the county.
Mr.. Hane explained to the board
his plans for the location of a grist
mill at Iron River to grind the wheat
and other grains that are raised by
Iron county farmers. The small
amount of grain and other crops that
would employ the work of a grist mill
deters private capital from the ex-
pendlture unless subsidy Of some
kind can be secured such as dona-
ton from the county or the furnish
ing OF a portion of the capital by the
county in return for an amount OF the
capital stock of the concern.
The legality of the county's embark
ing into any such project was talked
over. Mr.. Hane suggested that the

Mems Fashions

The style of mems clothes for the
winter season will not differ widely from
the fashions of last year" said w. M.
Evans of Ponton & Orr. THE pinch
back coats that have been worn a great
deal all through the summer will not
be so popular this year Most of the
custom tailoring will feature the plain
box back sack that has grown to be
the most popular style for those Wild
wish to dress conservstively and at the
same time stylishly.
"Piaids will be as popular as usual
There is always demand for the stylish
plaid, which seems to be as popular as
in years gone by. There will be little
padding in the coats, IL any. The trous-
ers of the modern Beau Brummel will
be cut on the severe lines that have
been in vogue for the past four or five
years. As a matter of fact, the man who
is stylishly dressed this year need not
worry about any drastic changes. I'm
like the ladies' clothes, he wills have to
be content with the regular style of the
times. In other mems apparel there will
be number of changes, some of them
revolutionary. For instance, the shirts
will be a mult-hued assortment ofNloud-
ness. The ties will be on the same or
der and dress suit stuff will be new and
novel;"

According to Brown Parks, the assist
ant manager of the Jefferson theatre,
President Woodrow Wilson thought that
The Only Girl, was the best musical
comedy he had ever heard sung.

Parkes, that will sing The Only Girl
at the Jefferson on Wednesday afternoon
and night is known in the theatrical
world as President Wilson'S own COM
pany. in that it is the identical aggre-
cation of players that sang the Blossom
Herbert operatta in Washington some
months ago before the highest executive
of the land. Following the performance
President Wilson stated that The Only
Girl was the best musical comedy that
he had ever enjoyed on his numerous
trips in various theatres of the United

The Only Girl was sung at the JEFF
ferson theatre last season and received
the most enthusiastic press notices of
any of the various shows that played

THE CRAZY KING

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
l.. Thirty years ago Otto was pro-
claimed King of Bavaria. He never
ruled. for he was poor, crack
Drained man who had Authorizations
and was addicted to eating hay. After
time they put him away in a fine
ly furnished prison. Three years ago
Bavaria decided that the sham of
kingship of this modern Nebuchadnez-
gar was a senseless pageant. So they
formally deposed Otto. and made his
cousin King in his stead.
Otto's elder brother, Louis, who was
also crazy. killed himself in 1885.
Obedience to the law of succession
necessitated calling Otto to the throne,
but the actual sovereign was his uncle,
Luitpold, then sturdy man of "A. For

which were afterward adorned by his
accomplished and fascinating grand
daughters
Some doubt has been cast upon this
tale by the fact that papers in pos
session of the Carroll family prove that
Mr. Carroll was wont to sign as "of
Carrollton" long before the gdeclara-
ton. Further, 1t is recorded that John
H. M. Latrobe, Mr.. CarrolIs contem-
poraneous biographer, never heard tho
story from the subject of his writ
ings.
Nevertheless, believe that it is true,
Mr.. Carroll used the subscription "of
Carrollton" in conducting his affairs
at home, where there was chance for
confusion between his son Charles, his
cousin Charles and himself, he might
well have been inclined to omit 1t
from a public document, as to the
signers of which there could be no con-
fusion. Further, the fact that he never
told the story to Latrobe does not in
validate 1t, for Gas every man and
every mans wife hnows) men do not
remember to tell Everything to their
wives, and it is therefore still less
likely that they tell everything to
their biographers. Further still, Mr..
Winthrop visited Mr.. Carroll just be-
fore the latters death and as he GER
tainly did not invent the story n it
seems probable that he got it from
"the signer" himself. Last, l like the
story and intend to believe it any
way-which, it occurs to me, is the
best reason of all and the one most
resembling my reason for being more
or less Episcopalian and republican.

During the 30 years war, the strug-'
Cling town of Mannheim suffered greatly,
owing to tire strength and strategic i'm
portance of the castle which had been
erected by Frederick Nv. and which was

in 1920 when Elector Charles Philip trans
ferred his residence from Heidelberg. 10
miles to the east, to the ducal palace.
which he began to build in that year.
The setback which resulted from the
transference of the court to Munich in
