Three Grocery Stores We're Broken
Into This Week.

Some time Wednesday night or
early Thursday morning the Crystal
Falls COOPERATIVE store. osterberP
& Co.'S store and the Finnish &
Swedish Mercantile Association were
burglarized.
At the Cooperative store s3O.62
was taken from the cash registers.
The parties entered the store thru
the shed on the east side of the build
ing. A hole was cut in the panel OF
the door leading into the store and
then all the invaders had to do was
to pick the latch and walk in" One
of the cash registers is opeated by
electicity. and before opening ii up
the switch was turned off, and II was
necessary to stand on chair to reach
the switch They evidently were in
no hurry for they helped themselves
TO bananas and oranges and left the
peelings on the floor.
Entrance to the Finnish & Swedish
store was gained via the potato chute
and the two cash registers were min
us $7.9S Thursday morning. At Os-
terberg e. Co.'S store the party enter
ed by way of the coal chute, but
here secured no cash as the money is
placed in the safe every evening
since the store was broken into last
fall. While in the basement of the

over into the basement of Rezin's
drug store. AS nearly as can be as
certained no merchandise was taken
from either store. Cold cash is evil

Wednesday evening while Oliver
LaPlant, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. John
LaPlant, was returning home, and
when right in front of his home, he
was ordered to hold up his hands,
which he promptly proceeded to do
We are told that the naughty hold-up
man relieved him of fifteen cents and
and package OF cigarettes. Whether
the robberies and hold-up were per-
petrated by the same gang" is a
matter Of conjecture. There is no
clew 10 work on.

CONGRESSMAN MAY BE ABSENT.
James and Two Other Members May
Miss Opening Session.

If the latest reports from Paris
about the convening of congress turns
out to be we'll founded and the call
is made by the president for the sec
ond Monday in May, the assembly OF
the lower house will probably find
Michigan's delegation considerably
below its full strength, says the Cal
umet News.
Three of the twelve Republicans
from the state are in Europe, and
their expectations when they went
away were that they would hardly be
able to return inside of six weeks at
the earliest, while their tour might
detain them overseas for longer
time.
The three are: Congressman
James, Scott and Kitchener, taking
them in the order Of their departure.
James left Washington March 81, and
the other two few days later.
Before deciding to go abroad they
canvassed as far as possible the pros
poets for the next session and from
the indications at the time they rath-
er thought they might not get back
TO take part in the opening proceed
ings.
The best information then was that
congress would be called for May. In
fact the statement had the authority
OF two cabinet members. who had
privately told their friends to be
ready about that time, although they
both declined to say so for publica-
ton.
The possibility OF being absent at
the opening OF the new house was one
OF the obstacles all three men recog
nized in considering whether they
should make the foreign trip or not,
but as II was impossible to obtain
official adyices on the point and In
the case OF all there were urgent rea-
sons for going to Europe they finally
concluded TO take a chance.

Those in attendance then adjourn

100000 worth of road work to be
done in this county in order to EN-
ploy the labor that is being made

To get this work started it is nee
-essary for the electors to vote $780,,
900 worth of county bonds. The su-
peryisors were supplied with sched-
ule by County Engineer Larson
showing that IL the county financed
that much of the work the state, un-
der the new road bonding act and
the laws that will be enacted at the
special session of the legislature will
pay the balance of the 100000.
The Roads TO BE Built.
The board provided this money for
the following purposes.
First, TO construct a trunk line
highway from Iron River to Forest
county, Wis, connecting with the
Wisconsin trunk line highway at that

DUNN AND 0DGERS PILES WILL BE
SHIPPED OUT THIS SEASON
ST. PAUL GETS ORE AWARD
Its Claim of More Economical
Hauling Charges Seems to
Have Been Sustained

The closing OF the Mckinney steel
mines noted in last weeks Diamond
Drill, will not interfere with the
shipping OF the stocked ore at the
several properties OF the company in
this county. During the week the
shovels were placed at the odgera
and Dunn mines and, we understand,
that the Tully mine shovel was plac-
ed in position also.
1t is the intention of the company
TO start loading today and, the re-
port is, that the shovels will be kept
going continuously until the piles are
cleaned up.
This fact and the additional one
that there are no removals OF tools
form the shafts or underground at
the two mines recently closed gives
hope that the shutdown will not be
of long duration.
Closing OF Marquette Range.
During the week there have been
made addition to the idle mines in
the upper peninsula. The mines OF
the Republic Iron & Steel Co. at Ne
gaunee are reported to have closed.
The steel and iron market has made
no improvement but there are hopes
OF a getting together of the railroad
administration and the steel men and
OF the entering of the railroads into
the buying markets. Should this
take place 1t will bring some relief
and may stop further closing of min
ing properties in this peninsula.
NJ. Paul Gets Ore Award.
1t has been reported about town
during the week that the controversy
between the st. Paul and North West,
ern railroads over the Iron River ore
has been settled in favor OF the first
named; that the st. Paul road will
get the bulk OF the ore TO be shipped
from the west side districts.
It Is stated on the other hand, that
the matter isn't finally closed; that
the matter has been carried to high.
er authority with the intention on
the part Of the North Western OF get
ting back the tonnage that has been
taken from II.
In order TO meet the demand for
more economical hauling, the St
Paul has several of the very large
type OF engines in the yards at Chan
ming. Some OF these new monsters
measure 10 feet in length and II is
claimed that a larger engine is to be
sent up next week
The bridge crews have been out for
the past month strengthening the
bridges in anticipation OF the coming
Of these big engines. The new type
locomotives will be operated between
Iron River and Charming. II will not |
be necessary to send them over the |
+. a. l.. s. road as the engines that |
have been used heretofore can handle |
