SHORT STRIKE
North Chandler Men Walk Out
Again Working.

The day shift at the North
Chandler refused to go to work
Monday morning and the night
shift that evening followed suit.
The men were of the opinion that
their pay was not up to the standard
paid by other companies for the
same class of work and hence the
strike.
The engineers were kept at work
and steam was not allowed to 60
down. The strike was orderly and
no trouble was anticipated. The
men simply refused to go to work
under the old scale of wages. The
matter was satisfactorily adjusted
Tuesday evening and on Wednes-
day morning work was resumed.
The management gave out the
information that the new schedule
of wages was in course of prepare
ton when the walk-out took place
but had not been completed. 1t
was the purpose to increase the
scale in conformity with the adj
vance recently ordered by the Steel
interests. The men were of the
opinion that the same should take
effect at the same time and as no
announcement of the raise had been
received at the Chandler, the strike
followed.
1t is seriously hoped that no
labor troubles will occur to mar
the pleasures of a most prosperous
season predicted for the ranges.

The Florence Johnston players

We are attempting to interview
personally. each one of these

our knowledge of them, to make
the proper recommendations.
Information relative to open
ings for graduates of our pro-

lawyers. dentists, and pharmacists,
will be greatly appreciated.
We have also many under

Among them are experienced
stenographers, bookkeepers, clerks,

Duluth. Only 7O5 of the 1907, or
81 per cent, had been reported to
the State Board of Health as cases
before the deaths.
DR.. A. J. Chesley, director of
the division of preventable diseases;
says that health authorities have
not enforced preventive measures
against the spread of the infection
in unreported cases. 1t is reason
able to suspect, he says, that.
physicians who do not report cases
are not over-zealous in personally
insisting upon measures for the
protection of the public and that
individuals and families are
ignorant or Indifferent on the.
subject.
Speaking of why only 81 per.
cent of these cases were reported
before death, Doctor Chesley said
that in many cases, no doubt. it is
due to the fact that the. patient
does not consult physician until
he is nearly dead, and has long
been wasting time and squander-
ing money on some fake cure.
Formerly many doctors did not
report cases because the sanitorium
beds in the state were so few that
the patients could not be sent to
institutions, and since there were
no visiting nurses, it seemed that
little was to be gained by reporting
them.
"The proportion of cases report
ed" be continued, is becoming
greater each year. In 1914 less
than IS per cent of the cases out
side the three large cities were
reported before death. Only when
more cases are diagnosed early,
reported promptly and treated in
institutions or under proper home
conditions will it be possible to
prevent the wholesale infection of
families and other associates" he
declared.

Some Road News

It is to Our shame that Eveleth
motorists must admit that in the
trip from this city to Tower, trip
that is made frequently by nearly
all car owners during the summer,
the poorest road to be encountered
on the entire trip Is between this
city and Virginia, and the poorest
part of the Eveleth-Virginia road
is within the city limits of Eveleth.
Taken as a whole the drive
from Eveleth to Tower is a delight
full one. The road from Virginia
north follows an Old trail and is
full of turns and pitches but the
road itself is excellent. Grant
Mcmahon. county commissioner in
that district, is noted as a road
builder and aided by natural condi-
tions he has made the Tower road
a delight to motorists. The road
runs through a territory where
gravel can be obtained easily and
where the drainage almost takes
care of itself. By using gravel
freely and dragging at the right
times Mcmahon has put the road
in fine shape.
The Eveleth end of the Eveleth-
Virginia road is by no means inn
passible. It is in fair condition,
in fact in some parts of Minnesota,
it would be considered a good road
but the fact remains that between
Eveleth and Tower the poorest
piece of road is within the city
limits of Eveleth. -Eveleth News.
Judging by the tone of the
above, one would naturally be led
to believe that in the road district
of Grant McMahan, nature had
distributed its road building
materials in such a manner as to
make the building of roads a
real pleasure. The facts of the
matter are just this. Grant Nc
Mahan is a road builder. He
knows how. He spends the road
money on the roads in his district.
He hauls gravel for surfacing long
distances where necessary and
hauls it in the winter when one
team does the work of three in the
summer. His road crews and
their foremen work and he hires
men that know how to work.
| McMahan has a road between
Ely and Tower that is delight to
the motorist and the lover OF
scenery. The road crosses noun
tains and gulleys while the Mesaba
range roads are perfectly level and
easily built.
We will lend you our commits
sioner in few years. He will
build you some roads that will be
real roads but we guarantee that
some of the road crews will have
to dig as unit and not as bunch
of watchers while one man works.

Lightning can be avoided.
This is the assertion of R. w.
Hargadine, state fire marshal.
It is noticeable that the business
part of city, tall sky-scrapers,
steel frame buildings and steel
windmill towers are ignored by
lightning, he says.
This is due to the fact that each
of these objects is its own lightning
rod. Therefore. a safe place
during storm is in such struc-
lures.
There also is list of places and
things that lightning likes to hit,
including country houses, barns,
churches, school houses, trees,
haystacks and animals, especially
if the animals are near a wire
fence.
This data is assembled from OBJ
servations made during nineteen
years by the United States govern
ment. From this it is learned that
the safest place during an electrical
storm at night is in bed, especially
if the bedstead is of metal; but one
must stand upright near the bed if
he wishes to insure escape.
During the day the safest place
in the house is III the center of a
room where there is no stove, and
contrary to general opinion it
makes little or no difference
whether windows or doors are
opened or closed. Lightning can
get in under any circumstances if
It wants to.

PROSPERITY SIGNS.

One Of the best signs of the return
of prosperity and sound business con-
fitions in this section is the fact that
the various loan companies operating
in Georgia are eager TO place loans on
Toombs county farm lands. Immediate
~ after the outbreak of the European
war, the loan companies practically
ceased doing business in this section.
But that is all changed now. There
are more loan companies scrambling
for business now than ever before. This
denotes that the moneyed interests
have faith in the stability of Toombs
county lands.-Lyons Progress.
No pessimism here.

UNLIKE THE LEOPARD.

Unlike the leopard, the republican
nominee can change his spots. A wear
ago, or Whereabouts, the then Justice
Hughes wrote to e c. Stokes, of New
York:
1t seems to me very clear that
as member Of the Supreme court,
/ have no right to be a candidate
either openly or passively. l can
not remain working here and hold
an equivocal position before the
country and must, therefore.
ask that no steps be taken tn
bring my name before the conyen-
ton"
MI hughes evidently, goes upon the
theory that circumstances alter ca.os
tor Notwithstanding the above state
ment, ne entered no protest when Gov.
ernor Whitman proposed his name
and hours before the vote was taken
resigned his seat on the Supreme court
bench and left his work unfinished
and when he had received telegram
saying he had been nominated he inn
mediately telegraphed his acceptance
said acceptance taking up more than
newspaper column of space, and
which constituted campaign address:
to the people of the nation, the char
acter of which showed the most care
full preparation.
For one time, Mr.. Hearst was very
nearly right, if not quite so, when ht
wrote, in substance, that Mr.. Hughe:
had the faculty OF making the public
believe what he is.
In short Mr.. Highest is unlike the
leopard, but like the chameleon, car
change his color at will; in other
words, he lets the exigencies of the
case determine what he will be or do.
