CLASSON SHOULD BE
ELECTED TO CONGRESS

AS election day draws near the indi-
cations point to the election of David
G. CIasson to cong ress. Mr.. Classon
has conducted clean campaign and is
a very able and deserving man for the
position He not only has the solid
backing of the Republican party but
has the support of many Democrats.
The failure of Congressman Konop to
support President Wilson on the McLe-
more resolution to stand up for Ameri-
can rights hiss driven many Democrats
away from him. Judge Classon is from
our neIo boring county-Oconto. He
is thoroughly acquainted with the needs
of numbering and farming communi-
ty like ours and can be relied upon to
do good service in congress. Forest
County ought to roll up good majori-
ty for Mr.. Classon next Tuesday. And
every voter should go to the polls and
vote.

The South is governing the United
States under the Wilson administra-
ton. President Wilson IS southern,
five mem bers of his cabinet are from
the South, southern men are chairmen
of seventeen out of eighteen great
committees in the House of Represent
atives, including the Ways and Means
committee which Formulated the Un-
derwood low tariff law. With popu-
latioh of one fifth of the country's peo-
pie, one seventh of it's wealth and less
than fourth of it's area, the South
under the present Democratic admins
tration, is master of the North, the
East, the Middle West and the far
West. The Democratic party is a Sec
tional party.
The Underwood tariff law put most
of the farmers products on the free
list The duties were removed from
cattle, sheep, eggs, milk, cream, wool,
beef, mutton and corn. The rates
were reduced about 60 per cent on
poultry, butter, cheese, hay and hors-
es, Every farmer knows that there
was an immediate slump in the price of
his products, which continued until the
war began. When the European war
ends the same condition will prevail.
On May "a, 1914, after ten months
of the Underwood tariff law nearly
four million workers were out of en-
ployment Failures were frequent and
bankruptcies occurred every day. On
that date delegation of business
men, protesting at the White Honse
against the operations of the Under
wood tariff law, were told by Mr.. Will
son that the condition was merely
psychological. /"
The so-called "cight hour law" is
now well understood to be misnamed.
1t is wage increase, arbitrarily fixed
by Democratic congress at the ord
ers of then frightened President, land
has no reference whateveF to length OF
hours of labor In the Presidents de-
mand for this legislation he abandoned
the principle of arbitration, thereby
infiicting on labor a great damage.
| President Wilson has done nothing
about the murder of more than five
hundred American citizens in Mexico,
and the unspeakable outrages perpe-
trated by Mexican bandits on American
women and children, and the outrages
still continues.
If you do not endorse this record OF
the Wilson administration you will vote
the Republican ticket next Tuesday.

Michigan Wants Buck Law.

The fatalities this year are
more numerous than for several
years past, said State Game War
den Oates, of Michigan, in setting
forth the conditions which have
been instrumental in influencing
him to propose, at the next session
of the state legislature. the enac-
tion of buck law"
The hunters seemed to be in an
unusual hurry to get into the woods
this fall. Vast numbers of them
started out the day after election.
They went i'll groups, all determin-
ed to bring back the first deer.
Without doubt carelessness is
the chief cause of the fatalities.
There ought to be less Carelessness
this year than ever before. The up
per peninsula papers have been
printing, every day since the sea.
5 II opened lists of 'dont's. and
the woods have been thoroughly
placarded with warning signs.
Il believe that the only thing
which will hold in check these care
less hunters is buck law, and l
am going to do my best to have the
next legislature pass such an act. ."
Judging from the results OBJ
tanned in Wisconsin, such meas
ure ought to be effective in the up

Besides the publication of detail
ed surveys of Jefferson and Colum-

vey of the north part of north cen
tral Wisconsin, including Iron,
Villas, Price, and Oneida counties,
the field work has been completed
on detailed surveys in four other
counties-Wood, Door, Portage,
and Milwaukee.
All preliminary soil surveys have
been made in the state north of a

Detailed surveys have been pub
lished for the following Counties
La Crosse, Kewaunee, Juneau

few years before every county in

ORE ADVANCES $3.50 A TON
Several Million Tons Contracted for
Shipment in 1917 at Ad-
vanced Prices.

Several million tons of Lake Su.
perior iron ore have been placed
under contract for shipment dur
ing 1917 at the recently established
basis of $3.50 advance over the sea
son Just closing, according to adj
vices from the East. That the out
put of ore from the Minnesota
ranges next season will establish
new high records is now taken for
granted. 1t is reported that plans
are being made to ship from prop
critics on the Mesaba, Vermillion
and Guyana ranges that have either
been quiescent for years or that
have lately been developed up to
the producing stage.
Despite the high markets in fin
ished products, the rush of inquir-
les continues at the mills, and the
volume of new business taken is be-
ing held down only by the ability
of the plants to make deliveries
within the periods specified,
The placing of large orders for
rails at the advanced price of $40 a
ton over the figure ruling the last
few days, is regarded as evidence
that railroad men are now accept
ing the inevitable, realizing that a
break in the market is not likely to
occur for some time to come. The
Northern Pacific is said to have
closed for As, 900 tons, the Great
Northern for 55, 900 tons and the
Omaha for 81 900 tons and to be
rolled at the Chicago mills of the
United States Steel corporation.
The New York Central has distri-
buted orders for 175,00O tons of
rails and the Pennsylvania is re
ported to be inquiring for POS, 900
tons.
Summing the situation up, the
head of an Eastern plant says that
orders from the railroads, ship
yards and builders for next year
delivery of steel are being placed
without regard to price. Consum-
ers are of the opinion that the diff
ficulty of obtaining materials as
needed during the next twelve
months is likely to grow worse
rather than better.

viii Operate Old Norrie.

Ironwood is to have new min
ing company to operate the old
Norrie mine. What the name of
the corporation will be has not yet
been decided upon, but LC. Brew
er, one of the most capable mining
men in the Lake Superior district,
and formerly manager of the New
port Mining Co. here, and George
Rupp, prominent mining engineer
of the range. are the chief promot-
ers of the project.
We propose, said Mr.. Brewer
yesterday, to start development
work and exploration work at once.
1t is the plan at present to open up
the old Townsite shaft, directly
east of the Miners Home on Suf-
folk street, and make a thorough
exploration of the property. The
Townsite shaft, after being sunk
to depth of about 400 feet, was
abandoned during the existence of
the Metropolitan Iron Co. S activ-
tiles on the range, and was never
opened up by the Oliver interests
while they were in control of the
lease of the Norrie property.
Contracts have been let for
modern electric hoists and other
machinery, and it is expected that
delivery will be made this month
Local contractors have been award
ed the construction of the necessary
buildings on surface.
During the week the lease Of
the property described as south
half of the southeast quarter of sec
ton p in township AZ. range AZ
for a period of 20 years has beer
filed with the register of deeds a

readiness for the immediate begin
ming of the exploration activities.
