JuDsos THRoUsH SHIPPING.
VIII Clean Up One Pile Tomorrow ana
Begin Stscklsg.

The Judson mine will close up its
shipments for 1917 tomorrow when
the shovel will be worked to load
some ore that was left in one pile
With the cleaning up OF that piece OF
ore. stocking OF the product OF the
mine will commence and be con-
tinued throughout the winter.
The reason for this early stocking
OF ore Is that the company mas sent
forward all OF the ore that It has dis
posed OF Some deals are hanging
fire az the present time that may ma
teriallze later on and II they do some
more ore will be shipped this year,
but the local officials have not much
confidence that there will be more ore
sold, mainly for the reason that the
transportation system on the lakes
is all shot TO pieces and tonnage can
not be secured now at any figure.
The government has practically
Communicated the lake ore fleet Tor
coal. All coal sent to the lower lake
ports is pooled and when a boat load
Is on hand the nearest boat must take
the load back to the upper lake ports,
no matter whether the boat is making
the port TO which the coal Is destined
or not. Many boats have been sent
back after having been allowed to
leave port after coal that they were
supposed to carry north. One boat
was sent back from the 500.
back from the 500.
In addition, the car supply at lower
lake ports Is as bad as 1t can POSSIBLY
be. Very little ore is placed upon the
docks. II is all forwarded directly
10 the furnaces by being loaded d.
rectly out OF the boat into waiting
cars. There was complete breaH
down OF the transportation system be-
tween the docks and the furnaces
about this time year ago from whici
the roads have not recovered yet ant
as result boats have had to wal
many days at lower lake ports to un
load. One boat that we know OF wait
ed one whole week and lake captain
told us that he will lose at least ter
round trips this year because OF wait'
AT lower docks and the compulsor!
hauling of coal.
For this reason the Judson com
pany doesn't expect to be successfu
in placing any additional ore tonnag'
this fall, and It is probable that at
tention will be entirely directed to tn
work OF developing ahead for mex
year.

They were given lunch from the OK

everything being free to them.
Barbecue Took Well.
The barbecue proved to be win

the size OF the OK secured. Much

ALPHA's BIGGEST rvaaeuT IN
history SCORED on THAT DAY
EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS
Promoters Feel Satisfied As Affair
About Earned Its Own Way and
Left a Good Impression

Alpha scored big success last Sat
urday when the first community fair
in the history OF Iron county was
pulled of so successfully that people
from all over the county were pro-
fuse in their congratulations OF those
who were responsible for the affair
The hurriedness OF the affair led
some to think that it wouldn't be a
success, but in this prediction all were
mistaken for the opposite proved to
be the case.
Biggest Crowd Ever Here.
Conservative visitors who had been
in Alpha on every occasion since the
place was put upon the map say that
the crowd on the street that day was
the biggest in the history OF the town.
Just how many we're here at any one
time cannot be stated with any de-
gree OF accuracy as the visitors kept
coming and going all throughout the
afternoon. II Is safe to say that fully
| 500 people were on the streets when
things were at their height, which
was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
After that the crowd thinned out some
as many went to Crystal Falls to be
present at the farewell to the soldier
boys, but most OF them came back
again after that affair was over with
and stayed with us we'll into the
evening.
All OF the attractions were well
patronized. and the exhibits, while
they we're not extensive, brought out
universal praise from all sides.
Better Than County Fair.
Many OF those who had been at the
county fair few days prior to our
fair said that what exhibits were
made at the Alpha fair were better
as general rule than those shown
at Iron River.
The committee on exhibits made nc
especial effort to attract any great
number OF exhibits; inst get the PEG
pie in and about Alpha who spent
considerable OF their time at garden

extensive for so small territory.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE
THOUGHT OF BUYING
A CHALMERS CAR

This is a business transaction
between two automobile
companies of probably no
more than ordinary interest
to the public but important
to you if you have thought
of buying Chalmers for
these obvious reasons: 4.
l. You obtain a good car. z
2. You obtain a car produced
in a magnificently equip
ped plant.
3. You obtain a car pro-
duced by an organization
materially strengthened by
the addition of able ex-
ecutives.
A. You obtain a car produced
by an organization mate
rally strengthened by
additional financial re-
sources.
5. You obtain a car from
distributor or de aler
who will have the support
of this organization.
In this way all three of us
prosper in the transaction.

An arrangement has been
effected whereby the Max
well Motor Company has
leased for a period of five
years the properties of the
Chalmers Motor Company.
The immediate effect of this
transaction is:
l. The Chalmers car will be
continued under the Chal-
mers name for period of
five years.
2. Those distributors or deal
ers who have been sue
cessfully marketing the
Chalmers car will continue
to do SO.
The appraisers of the prop
erty and their engineers
report the current Chalmers
model a good car and the
Chalmers plant wonderful
factory.
The first move we have made
is to increase the efficiency
of the Chalmers organization.
The second move was to
place behind the Chalmers
car the resources of the Max

SHAVED
IN SENATEB|

Less by $1,7S7 ,637 than the estimate
submitted by Gov. Pinkham in his
message to the legislature, the ap-
preparation bill introduced yesterday
afternoon by Senator Shingls will be
taken up for study by the upper house
members. The reduction was made by
looping off from the first estimate
submitted by the governor for the two
year period.
In the National Guard estimate there
is a reduction Of some $25, 900; attor-
rey-general's department. $4,320; pub
lie work, $4,000; board of health, near
Iy $500, 900.
One of the big cuts in the budget
set forth in the senate bill as reported
is the elimination of 1926, 500 for ar
moriess Already there are pending
several bills for special appropriations
for arInories, especially on the Big

mains to be seen.
In guard salaries the estimate for
the salary Of the assistant to adjutant
general of the militia is sliced $1,000
from the $4,000 which was asked A
similar amount is cut from the salary
OF the assistant to the property officer.
Other reductions are smaller. For of
ficers and enlisted men there Is cut
of g per cent from the $64.400 asked.
The biggest cut comes in the APP
preparations sought for the health de-
partment Here $4,000 sought for
new buildings is eliminated and there
is $4,000 cut from the figures asked

culosis.

CLAUSE IS HELD
TO MENACE new
NORTHWESTERN
Amending Bill Threatens Con-
stitutiOnality. Say Attor-
neys Studying 1t

House Bill 90. amending the work
mems compensation law. has at least
one big objection and several minor
cnes from a legal standpoint, in the
opinion of attorneys who have been
studying the bill since it was intro
duced February q by Representative
MARQUEE OF OAHU
The big objection is that il contains
a provision which. say several at
torneys, will knock the whole law OUT
as unconstitutional This is Section
s, which amends Section SO OF the
compensation law. The effect of the
amendment is to bar appeals on ques-
tons of fact and allow them only on
questions of law, according to the in,
depreciation now placed upon il.
The amendatory section now reads:
THE findings of fact made by the
board acting within its powers, shall.
in the absence of fraud, be final and
conclusive between the parties, except
as provided in Section 81, but the SUI
preme court shall have power to re-
view questions of law involved in any
final decision OF determination of said
board by oertiorari, mandamus or by
any other method permissible under
the rules and practise of said court or
the laws of this territory, and TO make
such further orders in respect thereto
as Justice may require, provided that
application is made by the aggrieved
party within ten days after copy OF
the decision or award of the board has
been sent to the parties. In no case.
however, shall such an appeal operate
as supersedeas or stay unless the
board of the supreme court shall so
order"
Section 81, referred to above, does
not provide for court appeal on ques-
tions of fact. but merely a review by
the board itself under certain condi-
lions.
Attorneys say that the amending
section takes away the right of trial
by jury and that it is plainly uncon-
stitutional.
1nasmueh as the bill vitality affects
many large corporations, including the
sugar plantations, the new bill is be-
ing closely scrutinized by legal ex.
perts. Other objections. none particu-
larly serious. are being tentatively
voiced and If there Is public hearing
are likely to come out. Insurance,
are also actively interested
In the amendments and the course of
the compensation legislation is being
watched as closely, probably, as any
measure now before the territorial
solons.
