met yesterday in front of the Johnston
building, 80 to IS Broad street. They
were in at the post mortem over one
of the landmarks of the financial dis

some of the best known brokers OF the
city and has been the scene Of some
strenuous occasions The landmark Is

the construction OF - seven story struc-
ture which will be exclusively cablo

As workmen throw out parts OF the old
walls men who have been frequenters Of
the financial district for forty or more
years recall incidents which centred wide
attention upon the structure. Perhaps
the greatest excitement in and :bout
this building was caused by Tom Ennis
and Charley Stoppani who under the
Arm name OF Ennis & Stoppani, had a
lease on the property FOR ninety-nine
years and occupied two floors at IS

the property but could not. Between

WE LOSE MIR. QUIGLEY.
Wyoming Stockman VIII Not Move
Stock to Diana Siding.

The Diamond Drill is informed that
Mr., Quigley who was scheduled TO
move his sheep from Wyoming 10 Di-
ana Siding north OF Amasa. will not
move. A letter received from him
since he returned to Montana conveys
that information.
Mr.. Quigley. so the report says,
found that the grass was not as badly
damaged by the drought when he got
back TO Wyoming as he expected and
that his sheep were in much better
condition than he expected to find
them.
He sized up the remaining pastur-
age and found that there was enough
to keep the sheep about month long
er and his bankers advised him to
sell them out there when the pasture
end was in sight rather than move
them east. He decided to take their
advice, but says that he still has
great hopes Of this section and is
boosting Il with his fellow stockmen
In the west who have to move.
In this connection, II might be re-
marked that Pres. Harmon OF the U.
p. ID. Bureau, after trip through the
west, gave out a statement to the ef-
feet that the damage there is not as
great as was at first reported.
But the fact that our friends in
the west are not as hard hit as re-
ported is no reason why Cloverland
people should lie down in their efforts
to get stock raising going here. II
is the coming business and sooner or
later we will be crowded with men
looking for lands.

Shimka was willing at all times to
mix 1t. while King went on the defen-
sive from the tap of the bell which
started them off. Several times dur
ing the bout Shimka dropped his
guard hoping King would come out
OF his shell and take a chance. Aside
from few wild swings which went
harmlessly around his neck, Shimka

LIMA sCHOOK WON.

Miss Lima Schook won out in the
contest staged by the fire department
boys of Iron River for a gold watch
to be given to the young lady selling
the most tickets for them on cash
prizes. Miss Schook beat out her
principal opponent, Miss Jackson Of
Iron River. by about $50 in money.
The victory was highly compliment
tary to Miss Lima whose energy and
resourcefulness carried her success
fully through the contest to the posi-
ton Of winner.
Miss Lima was ably assisted by Miss
Bessie Sensiba and Miss Mary Lee
who gave her yeoman assistance for
the sale of the tickets. Miss Bessie
Sensiba was especially effective and
a favorite with the ticket buyers,
winning them by her singing and
adroit soliciting.
Taken as whole the girls did
nobly and Crystal Falls can we'll be
proud OF them.

PULLED A B0NER.,
Standard OH Representative Makes
Expensive Mistake.

About the biggest "boner" that has
been pulled by any representative OF
a large corporation was pulled in
Crystal Falls three years ago by
representative OF the Standard Oil Co,
Of Indiana.
The company decided to erect fil-
ing station In this city, and chose
very well located site at the junction
OF Fifth street and Urban avenue.
The city council insisted that the
company erect brick building. Now,
brick construction at that time was
but little more expensive than wood,
but this cheap guy who had the mat
ter In hand, wanted 10 build a tin and
wood building right in the heart OF
a residence district, The council was
very considerate with these people
when 1t consented to allow them to
locate In that quarter even with brick
construction.
But, the official who was engineer
ing things thought he could get some
thing cheaper and so he went out in
70 Crystal Falls township. one mile
from the business district of the city
and located the filling station on the
Odgers mine property.
The odgers people recently decided
TO change their shaft and ordered the
filling station removed. Now the oil
company must purchase piece OF
land and erect its buildings all over
again at an expense that would have
built two. brick stations at the time
they located here. They will insist,
however, in locating out in the coun-
try rather than come into town where
business interests are.
Such a policy would be criticised If
IL was followed by a penny-ante pen
nut vender, but In a big concern like
the Standard Oil Co, it is ridiculous
or course the Standard Oil higher Of
hcials don't know anything of this.
The matter is of too small char
acter to engage their attention and
the hepenny-saver-and-pound-loser that
they have looking after this work is
able to camoufiage 1t so as to keep
them from getting wise.

 maI Welcome.

New oYrk, Sept 17.-Cardinal Mer- cier arrived in New York early today from Baltimore. He was met at the Pennsylvania station by a committee of clergy and laity and the Belgian bureau and was driven imm ediately to the residence of Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes.
 At 10 o'clock the cardinal was es corted to the sanctuary of St. Pat rick's cathedral for solemn high mass of requiem offered on the first anniversary of the death of Cardinal Farley. All the clergy of the diocese were invited to attend, and after the mass were given an opportunity to meet Cardinal MerCier informally.
