Enforcement OF the Laws In This
County is Being Done by Net Men

1T is a curious fact. but. never-the-
less. fact, that wet" supporters are
the only ones we can get to assist in
the enforcement of the local option
laws in this county" said a prominent
deputy sheriff to reporter for the
Diamond Drill one day during the
week. I'VE made a raid at Palatka last
week that called for many deputies
and the only man that refused to go
was dry" advocate. He refused
point blank to assist us and afterwards
made the excuse that he didn't know
what was wanted OF him. If Sheriff
Sensiba told us what was wanted OF
us every time we are called upon we
wouldn't make many successful raids
"Of course. don't mean to say that
II the sheriff went out 10 get some
dry" men 10 assist him, that he could
MT find any for there are many con
scientious men who are dry advocates
and are sincere in their opinions
and would assist IL they should be
called upon. What / mean is that
among the dry" men who seek police
positions and are entrusted with them.
not one can be found who is willing TO
come ous in the open and back up his
leanings with action"
The remarks above quoted are gem
orally conceded TO be an accurate size
up of the situation in this county.
When the sheriff OF this county was
being bombarded few months ago
because he didn't. unaided. stop blind
pigging in this county, many OF the so
called dry" men-not the fellows who
bear the brunt OF these dry campaigns
but the fellows who tag along-were
the most outspoken in their criticisms
yet when IL came to a showdown and
assistance was called for not one
could be got to lend helping hand.
Last week one OF the fellows who
was very outspoken in the dry cam
paign last spring was detected in TAX
ing orders for whiskey. He does some
soliciting for clothing and the story
that he told his friends was that
liquor house furnished him with some
of its cards He would oblige any OF
his particular friends by ordering the
whiskey in his name and the division
would come afterwards.
It's these hypocrites that have been
the main reason for the failure OF the
local option laws last summer and fall
and many are wondering If this same
element will make mess of the pre-
sent campaign for law enforcement
when II comes 20 the crucial test

MAFrEN A BUSY MAN
Prosecutor Says That lie VIII Not
Ask for Assistance

Prosecuting attorney Waffen was I'm
the city last Monday and appeared In
the hearings that were held in Justice
Davison's court. In talk with re-
porter Mr. Wafien says that it is not
his intention 70 ask for any assistance
in prosecuting tile many violations of
the local option law
IF can only get complaints made
out as l want them and not have 10

can get along all right II looks now
as if will have at least 80 criminal
cases on the calendar, one of them be-
ing murder case. know that IL is a
stiff pile OF work to go against but |
haven't any idea at this time of asking
for any assistance from the board.
Owing to the new judicature act,
the calendar will have to be gotten out
couple of weeks before the court
sits so / will not be able TO get many
OF the cases on the calendar and the
hearings have been put over TO so late
a date that can't get them ready In
time.
while The calendar will be a for
midabe one, l am OF the opinion that
the burden OF work to be put upon me
depends upon the results in the first
two or three cases. II a conviction is
brought I'm on the first couple OF cases
there will be scurrying by the bal
ance TO get under cover excepting
where man has very strong de-
fense"
II was commonly thought about the
county that Mr. Waffen would ask for
some assistance at the meeting OF the
county board which convenes next
week. Unless Mr. waffen changes his
mind the board will not be under the
necessity of spending any money in
that direction.

Number OF Teachers Increasing
The number of teachers employed in
the Iron county schools have been in
creasing rapidly AT the present time
there are 1S9 teachers employed in the
several schools and of that number
60 are employed IN the schools OF

cred that as many teachers are en-
ployed in Crystal Falls alone as were
employed in the entire county in the
latter nineties.

REACH BIG PUMP
NEXT WEDNESDAY
BAILERS SLOWLY GETTING THE
BETTER OF T0BIN MINE WATER
TAKE ON MEN ABOUT FEB. Is
Good Progress is Being Made IN
Shaft Sinking at 0dgers--HiIl-
top to Start Monday

Unless something unforeseen OCCURS
the big pump that has been under
water in the Tobin mine for three years
will be uncovered and started up next
Wednesday This conclusion is arriv-
ed at by calculation based on the ad-
vancement made each day in lowering
the water SO far.
The bailers have been working con-
stantly as have the big sinkers and in
the present location at the tenth
level OF the mine the water Is being
lowered at the rate OF 10 feet each day.
No bailers have been lost since the
new ropes were put on the drums.
The experience of the operators OF the
Tobin goes to show that no matter
how excellent the condition of the
wire cables may have been when
hosting is suspended at property, If
they lie idle for any length of time
new cables must be used on the re-
sumption OF work When the Tobin
was closed something over three years
ago, the cables were carefully wound
about the drums and every attention
given them with the idea of preserv-
ing them for use when operations
should be resumed. IL seems that the
strands must have crystaIized or de-
Perforated in some way for the ropes
wouldn't stand the strain of bailing.
Three bailers were lost before the
decision to put on new cables was ar
rived at Since the new ropes were
put on there has been no trouble from
baiIers breaking away
One of the thEee bailers was recoy-
cred Bat two of them are at the bottom
of the shaft. The bailer that was re-
covered got lodged some way and was
recovered when the water was lowered
to that point.
Put On Men About Feb. IL
From all the data that can be for
mulated from the experience so far in
the unwatering OF the Tobin, crew Of
men will be added underground about
Feb. 18th. II will take until then, TO
get the balance of the water out and
things shaped SO that the bailers can
