PIONEER RESIDENT DEAD.
Patrick Grattan Passed From This
Life at Chicago Hospital.

Word was received here last Mon
day that Patrick S. Grattan died AZ
Mercy hospital, Chicago, on Sunday
after a brief illness.
Mr.. Grattan's condition was not
generally known to be serious until
about two or three months ago when
he went to Green Bay for medical ad-
vice. He had been complaining for
some time previous to that but his
complaints were not such as to cause
alarm
When the announcement came three
weeks ago that his condition was
extremely serious, il caused great
deal of surprise He went TO Chica-
go in hopes Of getting some relief.
but his ailment was too Tar along
and death soon came to him.
While in the hospital he expressed
time and again wish that he might
be able to get back to Crystal Falls
to see his old friends again before he
died but his wish was not TO be
granted for his condition was toe
serious to have him removed.
The deceased was born in Upper
Nelson, New Brunswick, Canada OF
February 16, 1852, making him 6E
years OF age at the time of his death
Mr.. Grattan spent his childhood and
early manhood in Canada. Ii was
the days of primitive logging opera
tions in that well known timbered
region and the young man followed
the calling of the great majority OF
the people Of his province I'm those
days-that of numbering. Some OF
the foremost loggers OF the middle
west came from New Brunswick ana
the deceased was one OF them.
He was married I'm Chatham, n. b.
in 1877 and soon afterwards came to
the United states settling first at
Oshkosh when numbering operations
were az their zenith in that locality.
He gradually worked north and I'm
1885 moved TO this locality where he
has been constant resident since
that year
Mr.. Grattan followed the logging
work in this locality until the decline
of the pine timber by which time he
had accumulated sufficient worldly
goods so that he could take life cas-
Ter and while he was still active. he
did but occasional logging work. lie
was always a horse fancier and was
never without several teams which
he kept busy.
In 1895 he purchased the beautiful
residence on Fifth street which he
occupied as a home until his death.
Eight children were born TO him and
they are all useful men and women
and a credit to their parents They
are Joseph Grattan. OF Cobalt. Ray

Annie Nylund, daughter Of Alfred

in an automobile accident on the

STOCKED ORE IN DISTRICT HAS
BARELY BEEN TOUCHED
NO NETWORK CONTEMPLATED
Stagnation in High Phos Ores Has
Chilled Explorers in Searching
For More

S'N IA iluh county
that showed up on the docks on Nav
! IS about all there yet. The mining
companies are not shipping out their
stocked ore and, as one operator SAYS.
II keeps them busy getting rid of the
daily output.
In the Local District.
The Judson Mining co. shipped 4
small part of its pile, a cargo or so.
early in the year, but since that time
there has been none of that ore
shipped
The Balkan mine has sent out none
OF its stock ore although a siding has
been put in and II Is the intention 10
get started there soon with chances
good that all of the ore therein will
go forward
The Dunn mine has small pile
still intact. The Carpenter has a
very large pile which includes a lot
OF ore carried over from last year
and a chunk OF Monongahela ore
hoisted through he Carpenter shaft
A cargo or so Of this ore went out
very carly In the year. but since that
time there has been no ore sent for
ward The understanding is that this
ore will go forward or at least
large proportion OF il will but just
now the shovel is busy shipping the
ore that was in stock az the Ravanna
mine Operations have ceased at
the Ravenna shaft and the company
wishes to clean up that piece of ore
first.
The Tobin pile stands as It did ON
May | and the steam shovel Is busy
making room for more ore so that
the outlook for any large shipmen;
Of stocked ore at the ToBin is not
good
AT the odgers the pile remains lust
As II did on May /, but the informa-
ion Is that all of the ore in stock
Will be sent forward before shipping
season ends.
The Bristol mine has shipped but
little of its ore. II was the inten-
ion to clean up this pile when the
nine closed down last month so that
'perations could be resumed there
Iext fall
A small lot OF Great Western has
'een shipp on and on but no great
mount The Hilltop will ship what
title ore IL has I'm stock.
At the Porter some of the
lie has gone forward and all of IL
iill go before the season ends The
Warner will also clean up its ore
ocks.

Watson Was Selected.

In the meantime Mayor Gafney
was considering the placing OF Chas.
III. Watson's name before the council
and he announced TO Alderman Meis-
Ter that IL was his intention to do SO.
In conference, Alderman Shells
said that the compromise seemed all
one-sided; that the council felt that
MIR. Watson should be the man to
compromise upon. TO this Mayor
Gaffney assented but there was some
objection. Alderman Nelson thought
that Mr. Fraser should be retained
until he went TO the army. Alder
man Klesges though that Mr.. Mortar
~ should be confirmed. and Alderman
Penglase Thought that Mr. Watson
would be satisfactory TO ali The
mayor suggested that be no moretalk
over the matter; that he intended 20
place Mr. Watson's namo before them
anyway and If they would return 10
their seats ne would quickly give
them chance TO express their choice
The nomination Of Mr. Watson was
confirmed by a unanimous vote and
the mayor called up the next order
of business.

The deadlock which has been in
existence in the council has last.

Zourt OF annoyance 10 all sides. Ii
started over the confirmation Of the
mayors appointments The council
refused 70 confirm Mr. Dwyer most
of them for the sole reason that they
wished II. r. Fraser retained and not
because OF any personal dislike for
Mr.. Dwyer When the council re-.
fused the second time 10 confirm his
appointment Mr. Carney refused 10
call up the next order Of business.

Causes OF the Cuts.

The reason that the pavement has
been cut up so badly is that the wa
ter mains and service pipes freeze up
during the winter and break. II is
absolutely necessary to cut the pave
m6nt in order TO get at some OF these
breaks. The water and light depart
ment cannot be blamed for that. II
is also necessary TO leave the fixing
of the torn-up piece until the fol-
lowing sprinig II would be impos-
sible 20 fix the cut until the frost is
entirely out OF the ground.
It is also necessary, in order to do
a good job, to wait for the rolling and
tarring Of the torn up sections untl
TIE warm weather OF summer So, as
ia" as the criticism applying to those
sections torn up last winter they are
not valid They are in place, how
ever, in regard TO those sections torn
up last year and during previous
years The criticisms are also IN
place as against the method Of car
ing for for the rock which Is taken
out and the attention paid to getting
The sub-grade in shape TO receive the
stone.

COUNCIL DEADLOCK
BROKEN MONDAY
y ION. CHAS. n. WATSON WAS CON-
FlRMED AS CITY ATTORNEY
A COMPROMISE BY BOTH
Business Was Immediately Resum-
ed and it is Thought That City
Business viii Progress

The name Of Charles H. Watson
was presented to the council by May
or Gaffney last Monday night and
was confirmed by unanimous vote
Immediately following the confirm
alton Of this appointment the trans
action OF city business was resumed
and things went along as they usual
ly do without any further Interrupt
tion, the employees were paid, the
bills allowed and business went
through swimmingly
Mayor Suggests Compromise.
Immediately after the reading OF
the minutes of the previous meeting.
Mayor Gaffney read to the council
statement which he had prepared.
The mayor said that as ii appeared
to him that a majority OF the council
were not satisfied with his appoint
ment OF Clarence ID. Dwyer 20 be city
attorney and as the business had been
tied up by the deadlock he thought II
best If compromise of some kind
could be entered into whereby the
business Of the city might be resum-
ed and the men who were in the en-
ploy Of the city get their pay.
He then presented the name OF
Hon. II. NJ. Moriarty TO the council
as his compromise choice. but the
council was not yet in a frame OF
mind TO compromise and four of the
aldermen, Penglase, Shells, Nelson
and Klesges voted against the con
firmation with Axelson and Meisler
In favor of IT, The mayor then pre-
sented the name of William S. Ar
nauld for chief OF the fire department
and he was again turned down.
Then there was a luli Alderman
Shells asked II a motion TO allow the

Holes Open for Two Years.

One opening in the pavement in
front of Paul Schook's building stood
fer two years before It was closed up
ana the chances are that It wouldn'.
have been closed at the time had IT
not been that an autoist ran his car
into the hole and the council had
bill for damages to the car served
upon them.
There are some holes now Of over
years standing and for the existence
OF which there is absolutely no ex-
cuse. When one OF these places IS
allowed to stand unattended to the
surface water drains under the pave
ment and when freezing weather
comes the pavement is lifted and II

On Way TO Spread Eagle.

The three were on their way 70
Spread Eagle where a dance was 20
be given that night. They were rid
ing in the Nylund Ford runabout. tho
three of them in the one seat.
They had had tire trouble on the
way and at Florence, where the last
trouble was taken care Of, they
remained long enough to get some
ice cream. The several stops made
them late for the dance, and It is
thought that they were husryine
along for that reason,
AZ Florence the dead girl changed
places with Eva Mendelson, and Il
Is claimed that the latter was sitting
on the side of the car close to the
door when the accident occurred
The place OF the accident is on the
curve at the Commonwealth school
house, II is not dangerous place
by any means as the road is clear
and the curve is fairly sweeping
one that driver can take at a fair
rate OF speed and not be in danger.

Another theory is that the driver

rock that stood IN the way; that the

still another theory Is that the

that IN getting back me speed az

that the car rolled over and righted
