PRAISES EARL ROSS WORK.

We are in receipt of copy of the
Lubbock Avalanche, published at
Lubbock, Texas, in which there Is
contained an article dealing with the
completion of very important branch
of the Santa Fe railroad. S. f. Ross,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. NJ. Ross is di-
vision engineer on the Santa Fe and
was in charge OF the construction on
this branch In speaking OF the line
the article says:
Mr.. s. f. Ross, the engineer in
charge, gave this line his entire at
tention, to which is due the good work
and celebrity with which Il was COM
pleted. Mr.. Ross has become well
known in Lubbock and endeared him
self to all, as we'll as having married
one OF our charming young ladies.
The contractors on this railroad
have finished same under many dis
advantages, among which may be
mentioned. high cost OF supplies and
scarcity OF labor, which has handi-
capped. and in some instances en-
tirely prevented the finishing OF some
lines in the Southwest.

SOLDIERS NOT BABIES

Column after column has been
printed in the Iron River and Crystal
Falls newspapers, based on letter
written by one OF the Iron River boys
who didn't get fresh milk every time
the train stopped on It's journey to
tie south. The young man was in the
Iron River contingent that went with
the last draft. We believe that the
soldier already Is ashamed OF his
letter. 1t seemed to US to have but
one intention and that was 10 take a
nasty slap at the Iron county draft
board, which board had nothing what
ever to do with the milk served en-
route. Evidence that there was food
aplenty shows that the boys had as
good a trip az could be given them.
II they go through the war they will
be delighted with such trip on the
way home. Anyway. II was an unfor-
tunate thing and is not illustrative OF
the spirit which dominates the great
bulk OF the soldiers. Most OF the
boys do not require nurse when
they start away to be soldiers. They
may need one when they get through
few battles. but not on their way
to the cantonments-M Mining Gazette.
Forty-fve carloads OF sheep have
been brought into the peninsula dur

THE GRANGE PICNIC.


The Grange picnic, held at Fortune
Lake last Monday. was the biggest
success OF anything ever held in Iron
county.
The day was an ideal one for such
an affair and as all work was sus-
pended in the district, the people
fiocked to the lakes about here In
great numbers. Farmers from , all
over the county took advantage OF the
day to hob-nob with others. talk crops
and war. What farmer boys there
are left were there in their best and
all OF the girls were out TO enjoy the
day much as is the custom at coun-
ty fair.
The Grange officers had made am
pie preparations TO take care OF
everyone and IL any attended and did
not have a good time II was his own
fault
The Grange OF Iron county wish to
thank all OF those who contributed
towards making the affair the success
that It was.

back from Camp Wheeler" said Dan
O'Hara TO a Diamond Drill reporter,
Monday. I'VE want Iron county to
know that their boys are soldiers and
that they have no whine over being
given soldiers fare.
II know that almost all OF the boys
who have gone out before us feel just
as l do and are ashamed OF the fact
that one or two should attach a stigma
to the hundreds OF other boys who
bave gone and are going and who are
willing TO stand up to the rack and
act as soldiers. We want our people
TO know that there isn't any yellow

NEwBERRY NOT SCARED OUT.
While we are not supporting Tru-
man II. Newberry for the Republican
nomination for U. s. Senator, yet we
must compliment him upon his decis-
ion not to let the Manipulating by a
few democratic politicians. re-inforc-
ed by an evidently pre-arranged in
reference OF the president OF the U.
S. into Michigan's politics, scare him
out OF the race.
Mr. Newberry was candidate for
senator long before Henry Ford was
mentioned. Had Mr.. Ford entered at
the front door, as Mr.. Newberry and
Mr.. Osborn did. no one would have
questioned his right TO contest for
the republican nomination, but com
ing by the underhand route that he
does, 1t arouses the fighting blood Of
every republican who wants TO see
the old party continue and be an in
fiuence in American politics. In con-
nection with Mr.. Newberry's inten-
tions, his manager. Mr. Paul King
says:
Il have been asked for a statement
as to the position OF our Committee,
and am very glad, indeed, TO make
one, although as matter of fact II
had not occurred to me that one was
necessary.
THE fact that few of our good
friends in the Democratic party have
met together and decided upon a can
didate for United States Senator has
not in any way disturbed the friends
Of Commander Newberry. who are so
earnestly and successfully advocating
his nomination.
This action has certainly aroused
the spirit OF the Republican party
in the state. Many Republicans do
not hesitate TO express themselves as
believing that the party in Michigan
is able to select its candidate for
senator without outside suggestion
Moreover, the attention OF everyone
has now been called to the necessity
Of the selection at this time for this
high oflce of the ablest man available
1T is unquestionably the patriotic
duty OF every citizen to lend his ef-
fort to help bring about the selection
of such a man.
"Mr Newberry's friends believe
that he Is Just the man TO unite al
elements in the Republican party, ant
as senator he would acceptably serv,
the people OF the whole state.
I'VE shall go steadily forward Will
our efforts in his behalf until the day
Of the primaries We have literally
thousands OF assurances of support
and we are confident Of his nomina,
tion and election"

felt. to the end that his ideas may be
put into effect. and become an active
influence. Mans accomplishment Is
measured by the degree in which he
can influence others. Let man be
ever so potentially great. unless he
can make that greatness felt his In
fiuence upon the worlds history Is
negative.
Captain Richards possessed that
power OF drawing TO himself, through
his good Judgement in practical mat
ters and his charm OF personality so
cially. Thus he has become respected
honored. loved. In laying down the
scepter he forfeits none OF the res
pect or the good will that Crystal
Falls has always evidenced for him
and wherever he may go. he will have
friends in Crystal Falls on whom he
can rely.

CAPTAIN RICHARDS.
ra ra r

Our news columns this week tell of
The passing OF William ]. Richards
from active supervisory work In Iron
county. Mr.. Richards came to Iron
county in 1900 and Immediately en-
tered into the spirit and activities OF
the community. He came here from
the Mesabi range, although he was a
product OF the copper section OF the
peninsula, having been born at Rock
land, in ontonagon county. Captain
Richards is a fine example Of the self
made man. the men who have brought
the United States to the forefront
of practical, productive industry since
the days OF the Civil War. The per-
iod OF his life that spelled the great
est success for hiur has been spent in
Iron county and in Crystal Falls.
While other sections of the state
or nation may claim him as a resi-
dent in the coming years OF leisure
that he has so well earned. Crystal
Falls will always claim him as her
own and he, undoubtedly, will cling
10 the memories OF his successes
scored here as the eliminating per-
iod OF well spent and active bust
ness career
Crystal Falls people will be glad
to know that Mr. Richards will not
leave us Immediately, but that he will
continue to make this place his home
FOR time at least They hope that
he will consider this place his head
quarters for the balance OF his life.
and will be honored II he so decides.
To one who has been so active in a
public and business way a a COM
munity as Captain Richards has been
here, the severing of acting super
visory work, even though II doesn't
bring with II severance OF interes,
and public activity, is a transition that
is OF great moment. IL is equally mo-
mentous TO those with whom he has
been associated
Captain Richards lays down his au-
thority with the best OF good will both
from those who succeed him in com
mand and those on the outside who
have been his fellow citizens. II Is
but natural in public and private mat
ters that differences Of opinion should
arise occasionally. II IS the mark OF
aggresslveness. II is likewise the
mark OF big man and OF good citi-
zen that he doesn't allow these diff
ferences TO drag on and. perhaps, in
jure his possibility to do greater
things and do them better. Thus. in
the case OF Captain Richards, while
there have been oppositlons on differ
'ent matters, there is but one opinion
expressed today and that is that Capt
Richards is one OF Crystal Falls
strongest personalities.

Iron county contingent that left for

the members OF which live in Crystal
Falls. Naturally the Crystal Falls pa
per defends the draft board, and It's
editor has undertaken an investigation
with a view OF determining Just who
was to blame for the poor accommo-
dations on the trip.
without knowing the real condi-
tions prevailing In Iron county. the
Record would hazard the guess that
the draft board will be found inno-
cent OF any negligence. The rail-
roads probably did all they could to
provide the boys decent accommoda-
tons. The investigation. we believe.
will show that the apparent neglect
was due in most part TO traffic conges-
ton or some such condition over
which neither the board nor the rail-
roads had control.
It's a pretty serious offense to
charge a draft board with wilful neg
lect OF duty unless evidence amply
supporting the accusation is at hand
This, We believe, was not the case In
the Iron county controversy. Other
communities in Cloverland having
contingents on the same Journey have
not protested against what were un-
questioned poor conditions. They
have made the best OF IT, knowing
the great extra burden being carried
by the railroads. The attack on the
Crystal Falls draft board was. 1t will
probably develop, an ill-advised one,
inspired by something more than the
mere inconvenience of the journey to
Camp Wheeler. Record
