HARRISON TAKES RANGE.
VIII Have Charge OF Mckinney Steel
Interests on Menomlnee Range.

). G. Harrison, for twenty years su-
perintendent for the Mckinney steer
interests at the Stevenson mine on
the Mesabi range has been appointed
general superintendent for the com
pany's mines on the Menominee range
and has already taken charge OF op-
erations.
Mr.. Harrison came here Monday
along with General Superintendent
Mcneil. He will move his family to
Crystal Falls in the near future and
will occupy the company residence on
Crystal avenue.
Mr.. Harrison will have charge OF
the mines at Crystal Falls and STAN
baugh, the only ones now operated
by the company on this range.
Mr.. Harrison Is Minnesota man. a
mining engineer from the Univerity
OF Minnesota. He started operating at
the Fayall mine In Virginia and was
there employed when George Wallace
took hold of the mining operations for
Corrigan, Mckinney & Co. in 1890. Mr..
Wallace secured Mr.. Harrison's serv-
ices and placed him at the Stevenson
mine where he has been superinten-
dent since the time OF the late Amos
Shepherd who. at the time OF his death
was In charge OF the Minnesota mines
for the company.
The Stevenson isn't the mine now
that she was when Mr.. Harrison went
there. She was at that time in her
prime, and had just accomplished tho
then remarkable feat of producing L.
100000 tons of ore in one season.
Mr. Harrison comes to Crystal Falls
very highly recommended by his old
neighbors in Minnesota. He comes
from the same source as did his pred
ecessor Capt w. j. Richards, whom
Crystal Falls people esteem highly
and who has set standard OF person.
al worth and neighborly interest that
only man OF sterling worth can
measure up to. Those who know Mr.
Harrison well say that he will not be
found wanting in any of the qualities
that make him a valuable member OF
a community

MERCHANTS OFFER REWARD.
Combine 10 Prevent the "Slacker'
Sales of Merchandise.

In another column appears an adv.
placed In these columns by the dry
goods merchants OF Crystal Falls in
an effort to stop the sale OF merchan-
disc at on hours and on Sundays.
This matter was brought to a head
during the week by the concerted ac-
tion Of the female clerks OF the city
who, because OF the opening OF the
stores after supper, are compelled to
work evenings
Last winter, the fuel administration
closed the stores after supper but
after the warm weather set in and no
fuel was necessary, some OF them be-
gan to open up again. One break led
TO another until the evening opening
OF dry goods stores threatened to be-
come general. The young ladies
started out to put stop to il, and
they had the sympathy of the commun-
ity with them on every side.
When Mayor Bridges was appealed
to, he Immediately dropped his work
and started out to put the authority
of the city back OF the request of the
girls. lie personally visited those ac-
cused OF violating the agreement to
close and served notice upon them
that every agency OF the city will be
brought to bear upon them unless they
close up after supper except on GER
tain evenings.
The upshot OF the affair was an
agreement which is printed in full In
another column. What the merchants
want particularly TO emphasize is that
the person who buys OF any merchant
who plays Stacker" in the future is
just as much Stacker as the mer.
chant who sells the goods.
The merchants have deposited $1,000
with The Diamond Drill which will be
paid to any person bringing proof that
on an evening not specified in the
published notice printed elsewhere
after dry goods store has been clos
ed for the days business, a merchant
opened it and sold goods to any per,
/ son.
This doesn't include the sale o
merchandise to customers who are al
ready waiting in store when the
clock strikes the hour of six. In sucl
cases the understanding is that tho
merchant shall lock his door, serve
those in the store and dismiss them
What is wanted is the prevention O
open stores after supper.

Iron County VIII Back Our Boys With
More Than the 1884, 900.

The quota for Iron county for the
fourth Liberty loan has been fixed at
1864 900 That Is the amount our peo-
pie are to buy OF the total which must
be sold II the government is TO sue
cessfully finance. during the next few
months. our part in the terrible con.
flict the kaiser and his hordes have
brought upon the world.
or course the people Of Iron county
are going to buy that amount, and
the only question Is how much more
and how quickly are we going to do II?
Iron county people are going at
this bond-buying proposition in just
the same way that our Iron county
boys are going at the Heinies in
France. We are not going to wait un-
iii the fight is over before we get into
Il, and we are not going to stop at
the fixed objective OF 1894 900 any
more than our boys stop when they
reach the first German trench or Ger
man machine gun nest
We are going to put Iron county
dollars back OF Iron county boys and
let them work together so that in the
end the world may be decent place
to live in"
The Diamond Drill expects that Lib
erty bonds will be sold in every home
in Crystal Falls.
Every person who buys all the
bonds he or she can is doing a "bit"
toward defeating the kaiser, and Is
entitled to the credit OF doing IT,
Their names should have place on
the Crystal Falls roll of honor, and
The Diamond Drill proposes to put
them there.
While we are confident every home
in this community will be represented
by at least one name in this roll OF
honor, we are in hopes that for very
many OF the homes the name OF each
member OF the family will be included
i'm the list. We should like to see this
roll Of honor contain the names OF
every man and woman, every boy and
girl in Crystal Falls
This roll of honor will be printed
In The Diamond Drill and the only
way to get on II is to buy at least one
bond. We do not propose to print the
amount of bonds you buy, because
that would be unfair to those who
buy only small amount. and the
person who does buy one $50 bond is
entitled to just as much credit as the
person who can afford to and does
buy much larger amount
The name OF every real, 100 per
cent American and the Diamond
Drill believes all OF the people of Crys-
tai Falls are that will be found in
this Crystal Falls roll of honor buy
ers.
4 Beginning with the first issue after
The sale of bonds opens The Diamond
4 DriH will begin printing the names
Of purchasers. giving in that edition
All names that have been reported Ia
the sales director up TO the day before
the paper is issued Each following
issue will contain additional names Of
purchasers. and this will be continu
ed up TO the time the sale closes and
the names Of all purchasers have beer
printed.
If YOU buy a bond and do not find
your name In the issue Of the Diamond
Drill following its purchase be sur,
to report II TO this Office.

SUBSTITUTE FOR
pneumatic TIRES
LEADING CITIZENS OF ALPHA ARE
INTERESTED IN SPRING WHEEL
C.J. McCORD IS THEINvENTOR
Invention Will be Offered U. S.
Government. Inventor Describes
Wheel and Its Operation

Suddenly finding ones self in bill
lion dollar atmosphere Is an exper-
fence unique and thrilling; but that's S
exactly what happened representa-
tive OF The Diamond Drill Thursday
upon our arrival at Alpha.
The toYn was full of embryo bill
lionaries, and wore the aspect OF hav-
ing been placed on the map. And all
this because OF the highly successful
demonstration of spring wheel in
which most of the leading citizens OF
Alpha are interested.
Substitute for Pneumatic Tire.
A try-out of the wheel showed con-
clusively that substitute for the
pneumatic tire had been found The
solution OF the pneumatic tire problem
has been engaging the attention OF
the inventive genius OF the world for
many years, but until the advent OF
thS AiPia hhStl nos AChoihSu u ihS o
terry. Yet the solution was simplicity
personified.
Through the courtesy OF Mr.. G. j
McCord. the inventor. we are able tc
give a fairly ineligible description OF
the wheel and its operation.
A system or combination consisting
of four fiat steel springs, so arranged
that the strain or shock, occurring tc
vehicle is received in the exact ra.
ito of its intensity equalled by each o.
the springs OF the combination and alb
sorbed gently and gradually. provides
medium for shock absorption that Il
ideal Four OF these springs are at
tached to each spoke; and there ar,
sixteen spokes In the wheel so ar
ranged as TO create what is termed {
floating hub. This arrangement in
sures an equal distribution of any
strain or shock that may occur
or course. the basic idea Is to pro
duce a medium OF shock absorption
only equal to the capacity of the pneu
matte tire to absorb shock. but a tes
/ positively demonstrates that thu
spring wheel will not only absorb ;
shock so slight a to have no effec
whatever on the pneumatic tire, bu
will readily aborb shocks far beyont
the absorption capacity of the pneu
matte tire.

WHAT ABOUT THE MARKET.

II Is time that our farmer friends
began their fall marketing OF produce
again. The market which was carried
on last fall until nearly Christmas
time was huge success In every way
and farmers got rid OF lot OF their
produce in that way.
The city authorities haven't any
objection to the farmers marketing
their produce in that same way again
this year
a reporter for The Diamond Drill
called upon Mayor Bridges in regard
to the matter during the week, and
he tells us that he certainly hasn't
any objections and he thinks that the
other commissioners feel as he does
about the matter.
With this condition existing what is
the matter with the farmers about
Crystal Falls starting on the first
Saturday OF October with their prod
ucts The people want to buy and
have the money to buy with.

4 Novel Feature OF Wheel.

A most valuable and novel feature
OF the spring wheel is that It's con
struction Is such that should a spring
break IL can have no effect on the per
feet operation OF the wheel; in 9TH
er words, the wheel performs all its
functions equally well with a broken
spring, paradoXical as IL may appear.
The most interesting feature from
IA commercial standpoint" said Mr..
McCord, "is the fact that our wheel
costs no more than one-ffth as much
as the pneumatic tired wheel And
from the standpoint OF efficiency, we
have the pneumatic tire backed ~
the board. for the reason that no blow
outs with all their attendant evils are
possible"
