To Be Allowed to Buy From This Com
pany Is Sort of Favor.
Some exclusive clubs are next to i'm
possible to break into, such as the Cor
sair club, which the late ]. Pierpont
Morgan founded, for example, but they
have nothing on one world known or
ganization which keeps houses waiting
years and years for the privilege Of be-
coming one of it's customers. This con.
Germ only has ten or twelve customers
in America. It nas refused for years
to have more, and it's methods of do
ing business are amazingly independ
ent.
To illustrate: If you want to buy
goods you write and ask when you can
see them. Then date is set, but in
stead of salesman calling at your Of
fee you pack your little grip, sail to
England and take taxi to HolbOrn
viaduct, London. Here such goods as
the house cares to show are spread be-
fore you. You look at them, take or
leave, as suits your pleasure, and If
you buy you pay the price stated with
the price is $150,000, sometimes $780,
OOO,. and incidentally the transaction is
invariably G. o. D.
If perchance you don't like what is
shown you go home empty handed
there is nothing else to do. One man
hemmed and hawed and hesitated for
an hour on one OCCASION and on in
quiry he explained that he didn't quite
like, the goods, so the representative
babe him good day, and it was some
thing over two years before he was
given an opportunity to either like or
dislike the houses wares again.
The concern Is the London Diamond
syndicate, owners of the South Afri-
can diamond mines, the De Beers, Pre-
mier and the balance Of the earth's
producers of fine stones. Its annual
business with the United States totals
about $1OOOO,OOO, and its expense for
statesmen runs little less than moth.

IRON RIVER
Pioneer

Pioneer
The Upson mill in this city Will
have noyel power system IN the
near future. The little mill is 10
Gated on the banks OF the Iron
river and a six foot dam was built
to provide water power for It's
operation. This power has been
found inadequate, to drive the saw
mill, especially at this time OF the
year when the water is low, Sc the
plan was hit upon to augment The
water power with gas. A gasoline
engine has been ordered, and in a
week or ten days gas and water
will be used in combination to lug
the machinery. When the water
is higher is the spring it is thought
that the gas engines SCI vices can
be dispense with.
Maurice Hansen, buttermaker at
the Iron River creamery, received
his markings. last Saturday in the
January butter scoring contest,
which is conducted by the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. His average
score was SO, and while the mark
ings for the month made by all
competitors have not been received
as yet. this score is among the top
notchers of other months, hence
Mr.. Hansen feels gratitied over the
result.
A few years ago. l.. A. Young. a
prominent wire manufacturer ct
Detroit, Mich j)urneyed into Nor
thern Wisconsin for little recrca
ton. He and party of friends
had heard of the fame of the Iron
river as a trout stream, and came
here to satisfy the longing which
comes to to every trout fisherman
to try out waters that are new &c
them. Mr.. Young got enough fish
to satisfy him. but he saw some
thing else that deeply interested
him. He waded through clover
growing wild in the woods, and
made up his mind that land and
climate which would produce this
wonderful grass was valuable, and
recently he purchased, through his
agents, Alfred aud Jacob Johnson,
a tract of 800 acres ia sections 2, 3
and TO- Township 49 g. and it is

Of the silver birch.
The lakes of Finland. of which there
are five or six thousand, cover about
a sixth of the country, but these lakes,
rivers and waterways all take their
share in the wood trade. In the au-
tumn the trees are felled and left for
the first fall of snow, when they are
dragged two or three. one behind the
other.
BY this means the trees are convey

they are stamped with the owners

On the completion of the floating

THE MARKET PLACE
Facts. Figures and Comment Concerning Lands,
Mines, Stocks, Bonds, Men and Matters
That Pertain to the Making of Money.

A demand may send the price of
zinc up quickly. That demand
often lessons just as quickly.
Stocks that jumped up almost in
a night, slide down even more
quickly. :
There is a pronounced reason
why zinc and zinc mining stocks
have slumped in price and that
is, the memorable law of supply
and demand.
Today, confronted with oper-
ating at a loss, a number Of zinc
plants have shut down; still
others have greatly curtailed
their output. July l, 1917, four
teen zinc plants had shut down,
their combined yield probably
being 100000 tons Of spelter per
annum. Two smelters that re-
Gently closed down had a COM
bined capacity of $4,000 tons of
spelter year. 1t is expected that
one Of the CRANKY smelters soon
will close. Shelters of other in
terests are decreasing their out
put, if not actually closing.
Government figures say that,
June 80, last, there was an ac-
emulation Of $4,000 tons of
spelter. It is believed that, de-
spite curtailment, unsold stocks
have increased since then. Do
nestle demand has fallen flat
and the export movement has
materially subsidized.

Both teachers and reputable
residents of that section of the
city, being interviewed, declare
that conditions really are worse
than stated by Prof. King. De-
spite that, mayor Konkel's state
ment in his personal organ says:
"The writer Of this article has
lived in Superior a long time. He
knows conditions as they are today
and as they have been during all
the years that have passed. The
Fourth ward is made up almost
exclusively Of laboring people, and
it needs no argument to prove that
there is just as much virtue in the
homes Of laboring men as there is
in the homes Of the rich.
"The people of the Fourth ward
are not unduly excited about con-
ditions there. They come and go
today just as they have been COM
ing and going during all the
years, with about the same risk
of being molested. Happy chill
dren play on the streets, just as
they have always played, and t hey
are just as safe in the Fourth ward
as they are in any other ward.
"Women should avoid being out
alone at night just as much as
possible. That is true of Supe-
rior. It is true Of every city in the
world, in every country village
and even in farming communities.
Just a short time ago a young
woman was assaulted in Kansas,
going from one farm house to an
other after dark. That was not
due to the awful condition Of
Kansas, but simply proves that
there are still brutes in the world.
They are to be found in dry states
and wet, in dry cities and wet.
"There has been so much stuff
in the papers about the awful con-
ditions Of the city (mest of it writ
ten for political purposes) that
some people honestly believe that
conditions could not well be worse.
The fact of the matter is. that con-
ditions could not we'll be better
considering the vast number Of
transients that are coming and
going from day to day and week
to week."
