days has greatly improved field and
crop conditions throughout the state,

writes interesting Article on CioveS
land Trail and Says Roads In

The last issue OF the Ishpeming

esting article dealing on the Clover
land Trail and under sub-hesd Iron
Is Great Road Builders has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the roads OF
Iron county:
Iron county has constructed roads
that are splendid. Wide, we'll crowned,
well made and well maintained after
making. Work is now being done on
the trunk line leading from Sagola to
meet the macsdam treated line fur
ther on. II is being graded and rock is
being spread and rolled. II will soon
be completed It's good for a consid-
cradle distance this side OF Crystal
Falls. while between Crystal Falls
and Iron River IL Is splendid. No
better piece OF road can be found in
Upper Michigan than this one, unless
IL may be some concrete short stretch
es in Lower Michigan. compared with
IT, From Iron River west the trunk
line is OF the very best for several
miles, equal to that between Crystal
Falls and Iron River and beyond this
point Iron county has a fine lot Of
gravel all down to grade and now being
hammered firm by traffic right to its
western line. distance OF about
twenty-five miles from Iron River. II
is using a drag to fill in the ruts as the
cars and other vehicles make them,
and this plan is fast making the road
bed firm. Some autoists complain of
II because the dragging makes the go
ing bit heavy but soon IL will be firm
and fine. and will stand well due TO
this particular kind OF treatment. Mr..
L. A. Burridge. superintendent OF the
Iron county road commission, and
himself a member OF the commission.
has given road work high-grade at
tention, and IS a road builder of prac-
tical kind. The roads are his best re-
commendation. Iron has this twenty
five miles of road rounding out fast;
has 1862 miles between Iron River
and Crystal Falls and 12 miles on the |
Crystal Falls division that are great
aid. The county has been conscien- !

IRON ORE SITUATION

! III the consumption of iron ore con-
tinues at the present rate during the
remainder of the year. and IL Is very
likely TO be the case. there Is a possl-
bility that there will be a shortage at
the furnace next winter. The mines
are able to get out all the raw material
that Is needed for the manufacture OF
pig iron, but the ore boats are unable
to handle the ore TO keep up with the
demand
There is practically no ore in stock at
lower lake ports at the present time.
The supply that was on hand at the
docks when navigation opened has not
been shipped TO the furnaces. and all
that Is arriving is being sent immedi-
ately TO Pittsburgh Youngstown and
other points
The lake feet carried more ore last
month than ever before IN a similar
period, moving about $500. 900 tons. AT
the rate the ore Is now going down the
lakes II is estimated that In the neigh
borhood OF 55.OOO,OOO tons will be
shipped from the Lake Superior dis
trict this season. The consumption OF
iron ore in this country is on a basis OF
75.OO0,0 900 tons OF iron ore year az the
present time, and the Lake Superior
district Is expected TO furnish s5 per
cent OF the total This will be impos-
sible with the boats doing their ut
most TO get the ore from the upper
docks to the lower lake ports.
The mines are In excellent shape 20
get out all OF the ore that will be need
ed and the railroads are well equipped
to carry the product TO the docks. The
strike on the Mesaba range will have
little effect as there is plenty OF ore IN
stock at most OF the underground
mines there, and the pit mines and
railroads that handle the ore from the
lower docks 10 the furnaces are doing
better than they ever done In the past
Many OF the trains between Lake Erie
and Pittsburgh are now making
round trip in "a hours, carrying coal
one way and ore the other. They have
almost cut the former schedule IN two.

THE TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
IL Being Well Observed in this City
A Few .Smart Alecks-

The new traffic ordinance which
Chief OF Police Broad has enforced SO
far as possible since early in June has
resulted in much good. Cheerful OBJ
servance has been generally given.
Occasionally a smart aleck" cuts the
corners indicated by the dummy po-
licemen" al the principal corners OF
Superior avenue but that is but a
demonstration OF bad manners that
must be expected People who do not
behave we'll at home seldom show good
manners on the public streets and
highways. On the whole the new rules
are being observed and reflect credit
on the city administration which
enacted them.
Marshal Broad desires us TO call the
attention OF autoists to the fact that
speeding is not limited TO the busy
portion OF the city alone. A speed limit
OF fifteen miles must be kept on the
other streets leading from the city.
Autoists have been in the habit OF
speeding up on 5th street, the street
leading TO Alpha and Marshal Broad
informs us that this street as we'll as
the rest of them will be watched close
for speeders from now on and anyone
exceeding the speed limit will be pro-
secuted.

would prove fatal but Il was found at
the hospital that her injuries were
not OF serious nature.
The Vanderpo'l car remained In the
road and was not damaged any The
injured were taken TO Darling's hos
