REFUSED FIRE SIGNAL.
Investigate Cost of Pipe Line from
Plant 10 Stand Pipe.

The city council last Monday night
ordered City Clerk Gribble to notify
Gurney Webb that the fire signal
which was sent here by the company
with which Mr.. Webb is dealing Is
not up to specifications and that the
same is here at the order OF Mr.. Webb
Mr.. Gribble notified MIR. Webb on
Tuesday and II is probable that the
matter will now be settled at the
next council meeting.
The specifications upon which the
sale was based calls for a 3 h. p.
motor while the one that was sent
is listed as h. p. motor. This dis-
crepancy in size together with the
horn that h. p. motor would call
for probably answers why he ma
chine will not produce the noise that
was expected OF Il.
A number OF widows were exempt
ed from taxation by having the taxes
assessed against their property re-
bated, and orders were given Treas
urer Miller for the same.
One very important piece OF work
was the instructions given the com
mittee on electric light and water TO
make an investigation at once into the
cost OF laying a l2-inch pipe from the
power plant TO the stand pipe so as
10 give a bigger supply OF water
supt. Sanders informs US that IL is
the intention to lay the new pipe in a
separate trench, independant Of the
present S-inch pipe that is doing duty
al the present time. With the install
Iation OF this new pipe supply OF
water is always TO be had for the
stand pipe for II one pipe happens TO
fail the other will do duty. AT the
present time should a break occur in
this main pipe the city would be alb
solutely without water.
The committee will take its time so
as TO make a thorough investigation
OF this subject and II is not likely
that anything will be done until after
the new council takes hold.
Mr.. Sanders also informs as chat
the pipe will not be laid across the
river 10 connect up the Great West
ern extension until along in the sum
Imer as citssr dam must be con
structed across the river and in or
der 10 do this the water must be at
low level. The pipe will be sunk
about two feet under the river bed.

4 FINE OUTFIT.

Visitors at Iron River last week
tell of a dog and sleigh outfit owned
nv a boy who lives on a farm north
OF Atkinson The outfit consists Of
six collie dogs hitched tandem on an
Alaskan sleigh. The dogs are trained
to perfection and the OUTFIT makes =

The two lead dogs keep up con.
tinual barking as they lope along over
the road but the other four bend right
down in the collars and pull. The
young man was offered a handsome
sum for his OUTFIT by a mining man
who chanced to be in Iron River
when he visited the place last week
but he refused to part with his dogs.

CAMPAIGN STARTED.
Drys Have Launched a Movement 10
Keep Iron County in Dry Column.

In another column will be found
the first ad of a campaign started by
the "drys" OF Iron county under the
management OF Mr.. Claypool to keep
this county dry"
Mr. Claypool will make his head
quarters at Iron River and will take
active charge OF the work in this
county. He started work with the
first OF the month and promises TO
make house TO house canvass OF the
county in an effort TO pnrsuade the
voters that IL will be folly to change
the basis for one year.
The Diamond Drill is informed that
there will be very little OF the plat
form specie OF campaign this time.
The leaders feel that the people have
had their fill OF that style OF work.
What Is needed now is TO have a
heart TO heart talk with the voters
and show them why they ought TO
vote dry" even though their disposi-
ton may be to vote the other way.
The dry" leaders feel that there is
lot OF difference between voting
wet" for all time and voting wet"
for one year and they propose TO
show that the fellow who wants to
rake In a lot OF coin for one year
is the only one interested in making
the county wet"
The ''wets" haven't given any ink
ling as to what they intend doing.
They figure that they have sure
thing from the fact that the county
went wet" last fall. They argue that
the vote as recorded then shows the
feelings OF the people now and that
II is unnecessary to spend any money
on sure thing.
A gentleman from Iron River gave
us the dope two weeks ago. He says
that the people of his town are inn
patient for the election to come SO
that they may be able 10 vote wet. .
Just how accurately those who feel
this way have sized up the situation
remains to be seen. The "drys," when
told OF this feeling, nod their heads
knowingly and leave an impression
with you that they have somethil
up their sleeve. yg

FOUR MILLION
TONS FROM co.
WEST SIDE SHIPMENT DOUBLE
THAT OF THE EAST SIDE
BRISTOL BIGGEST SHIPPER
Lake Superior Shipments Amount
to 66,658, ,466 Tons. Largest
in History of Trade

The annual report OF ore shipments
from the Lake Superior district as
complied by the Iron Trade Review,
was issued last week. The shipments
for 1916 establishes a record that
many believe will stand for several
years. Some expect the 1917 ship
ments to exceed those OF 1916 but
many OF the wise heads OF the trade
fear that the shipping capacity is
less now than Il was in 1916 and for
that reason they fear that the pro-
duction OF 1916 may not be equaled.
There are reports Of additions TO
the tonnage by new ships but these
additions are undoubtedly balanced
by the transfer OF lake boats to the
ocean.

Carney on Thursday Those who
supported Munns see his election
without a doubt through the vote
given him in the several wards. He
received total OF 264 votes in the
three wards. Figuring that there
will be 500 votes cast in April. Munns
needs only 81 more votes in order to
win. There were but s75 votes cast
which means that Munns needs to get
but about IL per cent OF the absent
voters 10 win.
On the other hand Gribble got 33l
votes so the Gaffney supporters figure
that Munns ran 81 votes behind his
ticket or 20 per cent which means that
Gaffney has 10 pick up but 81 per
cent OF the vote on April 2nd to win.

The Vote a Light One.

The vote cast was an exceedingly
light one. the two contests not arous-
ing sufficient interest 20 bring out the
voters
Mr.. Eldred had an automobile run
ming all day up and down the streets
TO convey the legweary voters TO the
polls. Outside of that evidence. one
wouldn't know there was anything
doing.
Gaffney Only Democrat Candidate.
The interest now centers in the con-
test for mayor between Robert Munns
and Jas. j. Carney Mr.. Gaffney will
undoubtedly "go it alone" as can
didate on the democratic ticket There
were nominations made for the other
Offices but II Is probable that none OF
those nominated will allow their name
to be printed upon the ballot.
Dan Riordan was nominated by one
vote for clerk; Clyde Henry got the
nomination on both tickets and in the
wards nominations were made against
the republican nominees by vote or
two.

Eskimo Carving.

All of the Eskimo carving today is
done with steel tools, but there is
work in existence that dates back to
the stone age. The older EskimOs say
that their ancestors used tools Of
flint, and it is known that they have
been carving ivory for many genera.
tons. Some Of the very poorest Of
them and those that live in the most
out-of-the-way places are noted for
their work of this kind. They seem
to do it for pastime, and make many
toys and dolls for their children. They
have a way of sOftening the bone,
horn, or ivory before they work it, and
to make the carvings more distinct
they etch lines on the surface with a
black paint made of Il mixture of gun
powder and blood. This, when put on
the freshly-cut bone, makes a perma-
nent stain.

WORKERS IN JAPAN RECKLESS
Result Is That Accidents in Mills and
Building Operations Appear to
Be on the Increase.

Accidents in the mills, furnaces,
factories and in building operations
appear to be greatly on the increase
in Japan, according to the Tokyo
newspapers, says East and West. The
Nichi-Nichi every Day. has set
on foot an investigation, extending
over nearly every branch of opera
tive labor, and the conclusion reached
is that many workmen are dissatis-
fed with their lots. Doubtless,
growing discomfort is due to tales Of
fabulous wages paid to working men
and women in munition factories of
the United States and Great Brit
ain. Japan has supplied Russia with
vast quantities of cartridges and
weapons of all kinds, but the wages
of her workmen have not been mate
rally advanced. This is due to the
claim that goods so supplied to their
ally have yielded only fair profit
that there has not been any attempt
by the Japanese people to "get rich
quickly" The Nichi-Nichi finds that,
due to the uncertainty Of their posi-
tons, Japanese wormen are prone
to grow reckless. They become un-
steady and are often injured by being
caught of their guard at work.

OUTLOOK FOR SEED
GROWERS ENCOURAGING
BY F. L. Brukow, Assistant State
Seed Analyst

BY F. L. Brukow, Assistant State
Seed Analyst
The farmer who has a good acre.
age in clover or alfalfa seed may con-
slider himself fortunate this fall. The
pure seed department of the univer-
sity extension division have been in
ispecting the clover and alfalfa dis
tricts in southern Idaho this summer
and find the acreage is far below nor
NAL. Last year Twin Falls county
grew about 10000 acres of clover
seed, whereas this year it is estimat-
ed that more than 5000 acres are
being grown for seed in the county.
This enormous reduction in acreage
was caused by the ravages Of the
clover aphis and grasshoppers during
last season, by winter-killing. and by
the great national cry of raise more
food" which was advertised so ex-
tensively this spring. The high price
of hay has also induced some grow
ers to raise hay instead of seed.
Idaho grown seed is becoming most
favorably known in other states, as
Illinois and Minnesota, for its vitality
its size, its luster, and other good
qualities, and as a result a demand
for celan-grown, Idaho seed is COM
ing from those states. Therefore, be-
cause of the decrease in the acreage
and supply, and the increase in the
demand for Idaho seed, it looks as
tho the grower will receive high
