NyLUND NABBED.

Erick Nylund. young Finn who
has made Crystal Falls his headquar-
ters for many years, was nabbed on
the train at Iron Mountain last sun
day and is being held at Iron Noun
tain to await an examination by the
federal authorities. Nylund Is a par
TALLY demented agitator. He has
been busy here peddling pamphlets
and carrying a Socialist banner but
recently he joined the l. w. w, and
has taken TO spreading the doctrine
of that anarchistic organization. When
apprehended he was denouncing the
action OF our government in declaring
war and peddling literature opposing
the war.
II is the belief Of those who know
Nylund that he IS demented and ought
to be stored away in an asylum until
these trying times have passed,

MICHIGAN WEATHER con-
DITIONS DURING APRIL

Tic temperature averaged slightly
less than the normal in the Upper
Peninsula and the northern part OF
the Lower Peninsula, but in the
southerly sections OF the State Il was
above normal.
The advance OF the season was
fairly steady, no protracted period OF
unusually high temperatures occurred.
Some very cold weather occurred
during the first decade of the month
in all sections temperatures decided
ly below zero in the Upper Peninsula
and northern counties OF the Lower
Peninsula. In the central and south
ern counties zero temperatures were
not recorded
The precipitation was more than an
inch in excess of the normal over the
Upper Peninsula but slight deficiency
was quite general throughout the
Lower Peninsula.
There was less snowfall than usual
ly OCCURS ih March and the ground
in the central and southern counties
of the Lower Peninsula was practical
ly bare most of the month. Ample
snow covering prevailed in the north
ern counties of the lower and through
out the Upper Peninsula.
There has been very little frost in
the ground throughout the winter
and the snow as it melted has been
rapidly taken up by the soil instead
Of being entirely shed into water
courses. Al the close OF the month
the moisture in the soil was apparent

ernments program.
The iron and steel men OF the coun-
try have offered their properties 10
the government, even proposing that
the government fix the price at which
the steel shall be paid for. Just at
present no action in these matters
has been taken because the govern
ment officials are busy shaping up the
policy to pursue and the lines TO fol-
low. However. just as soon as this
preliminary work is done with, the
hand OF the government will be seen
in such matters and then those who
attempt to thwart the program will
feel the strong hand OF the law.
Suspected OF Alien Leinings.
There is another consideration. Al
most all OF the members OF the |. W.
w. are aliens and there is general
suspicion that these alien agitators
are i'm the pay OF the German govern
ment for it is known that Germany
has spent money layishly in this coun-
try in an effort to nullify or impair
the authority OF the government. Re
cent court testimony has shown clear
Iy that Won Bernstorf built up a sys-
tenn OF spying in this country that has
extensive ramihcations. All such or
ganizations as the /. W. W.-organi-
cations that are known to be against
government OF any hnd-haye been
easy To enlist as the leaders are gen
orally susceptible TO the influence OF
coin and no more natural action than
one looking to put the 1. w. w. on the
pay roll OF the German government
can be contemplated.
Thus, the secret service men are
shadowing these l. w w agitators
who just now are crying against this
country entering the war. One OF
these men was picked up last Sunday
at Iron Mountain and others have
been taken quietly into tow whenever
there Is any excuse for making an
arrest.
Prosecuting Attorney McDonough
has had orders from the federal gov.
ernment TO make a census and list
every alien in Iron county. This ac-
ton is undoubtedly connected witt
the move for public defense Aliens
who harbor these agitators must not
get away with the idea that the gov
ernment doesn't know Of their acts
Every move is known and those who
harbor and associate with such per
sons are placed in the same class.
For the above stated reasons ii il
we'll that all think twice before any
associating with agitators is gone
ahead with.

The ruling OF the Wisconsin high

with Gogebic at Watersmeet with
Iron at Long lake, with Dickinson at
Quinnesec and with Menominee at
Marinette. All other connections are
inter-county connections as is the
case OF the connection between Iron
county and Florence county at Brule

the connection which Is proposed
south west OF Iron River with Forest
