TRAIN SERVICE REDUCED

i. o. Rochon, agent for the North
Western railroad received word last
Saturday that beginning Monday all
regular scheduled trains running to
and from Crystal Falls over that sys-
tenn would be cancelled.
The Northwestern cancelled all
trains coming north from Chicago to
the upper peninsula OF Michigan, ex-
cepting two trains, the early morning
train that runs TO Ishpeming and the
afternoon train with which our paper
connected. This latter train runs as
far IA Escansba, instead OF to Ishpem-
ing as formerly. The early morning
train connects at Powers with a
train which comes from Escanaba and
which will run from Powers TO Wat
ersmect over the peninsular division
and continue on TO Ashland over the
Ashland division. Roturn trains viii
be run for these two trains. the one
starting from Ashland about noon
and the other at Ishpeming about six
o'clock. connections being made at
Powers between the two trains. A
connection will be made at Stager for
Crystal Falls by stub train that will
serve the stager-Amasa line both for
passenger and freight service.
The greatest inconvenience caused
by this cancelling OF trains is in the
afternoon mall service. especially In
the daily paper line. The Chicago
papers are now a day late In arriving
here.
No notices OF change on the St.
Paul have been received yet but II Is
expected that tho afternoon train
through Claiming and the morning
day train south will be abandoned.
This curtailment OF train service
applies only TO the passenger service
and Is made to conserve coal for
freight service and for other pur-
poses. How long II will last depends
upon how long the tie-up In tho coal
situation lasts.

ROUND HOUSE BURNED.

The round house of the North-wes-
tern railroad at Stambaugh burned
last Saturday night Two engines
were In the house at the time and
they were damaged somewhat but just
what the damage was is not known
here.
Tho origin of tho fire Is unknown
here. "A round house man "a kept on
at night and II 10 expected that he
will keep watch against just such an
emergency.
The works couldn't have burned at
a better time 80 far as trailc is con-
csrned, as tho ore shipping is all over
with and the company will not be
inconventenced from tho lack OF
round house facilities. When the ore
is moving the Stambaugh round house
is very important place as from a
dozen to twenty engines are employed
Ia the district at such times.

HIS ONE REQUEST

"Buckskin Charley" was run In late

into Judge Davisons court he was
told that II hee would divulge tn

THE NJ. +. CONFERENCE.
Special Session Of the Detroit District
Called 10 Meet Dec. rs mt Detroit

Methodist ministers OF the upper
peninsula have received notice during
the past two weeks OF special con-
vention OF the Detroit Conference OF
the M. u. Church. which conference
includes the upper peninsula OF Mich
igan.
II is expected that every Methodist
minister in the conference will be
present at this meeting as plans viii
bo formed there for the coming drive
which Is being made by the Methodist
church 10 add 100000 members to
its rolls. The quota assigned TO
Michigan is 10000 members and to
secure this membership Bishop Hem
derson thinks is a mighty task for his
ministers to perform.
II is rumored that the quota assign
ed TO the upper peninsula is 1000 and
the church authorities OF the 15 coun-
Ties of this peninsula are making plans
to produce their share OF the members
called for.

OVER 100000 EMPLOYEES LAID
OFF IN MICHIGAN FACTORIES
SUFFERING GREAT IN CITIES
Coal Restrictions Must Be Kept in
Force Force For a Month Even
Though Strike is Off

The coal strike has hit almost ey-
cry village and hamlet IN Michigan.
III II hasn't caused suspension of
work at the mill or the factory Il has
shut OF rail communication or alb
ridged the mail service 80 that the
average business man is clear up In
the air.
Fortunately Crystal Falls has expert
enced no direct Inconvenience so far.
The mines that were operating when
the strike started are still operating
full time. Electricity Is largely en-
ployed In the mining operations at
the Crystal Falls mines and this fact
makes coal consumption quite small
The private residences are fairly
well supplied with coal and those
who are shy on coal get some wood
20 help out so that there is no suff-
cring.
Our greatest inconvenience is in
getting the malls. The trains that
are allowed 70 operate are so bur-
dened because OF Che double duty
placed upon them that they are invar-
iably late from two 70 four hours.
The afternoon mail Is entirely cut
out and that means that the Chicago
and Milwaukee papers cannot be had
the same day that they are issued.
Iron River Is more fortunate as the
Green Bay-Saunders train is running
and the papers for thai, locality are
being shipped over that line. An ef-
fort Is being made TO have Crystal
Falls mail routed that way and IL II
succeeds the papers will get here
from Saunders at 7:10 p. IN.
Keep Freights Running.
We are assured that the freight
trains will continue operating. The
output OF timber Is so great In this
locality this winter and the number
OF men employed In logging opera
tions so many that suspension OF
freight traffic or even curtailment
would do great injury.
We have been informed that there
is coal in sight sufficient 10 keep the
freight trains moving.
The ST. Paul has made no curtail-
ment OF passenger service and II looks
as IL none will be made. The South
Shore has made but few changes

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
Iron County Surveying Crew Is Well
Along Towards CovIngton.

The Iron County surveying crew

Is we'll along towards Covington and
hope TO complete the survey before
Christmas. Last Week, when Leo
Leonard came down. the survey had
been completed over IL miles and the
work was then entering the hard
wood timber lands. This stretch OF
timber begins east OF Parks Siding
and extends pretty well to the north
line OF the county.
The FIRST camp was near the Red
Rock exploration and as the road
follows the railroad about three miles
distant ii Is probable that the camp
has been moved along the railroad
as the crew moved north.

con. JAMES VISIT.
Was Entertained by Legion and Club
Last Saturday Night.


Congressman w. Frank James OF
Hancock came TO Crystal Falls last
Saturday night and was the guest OF
Crystal Falls friends over Sunday.
Mr.. James has been home on a short
vacation since congress adjourned
late In November and he expects to
return to Washington very soon--as
soon as hearings are resumed on the
military committee OF which he Is a
member.
Mr. James met about 100 OF the
Legion members and Club members
when he was escorted TO the Club
rooms after the arrival OF the night
train on the ST. Paul road. A lunch
had been arranged for and as the
train was late plenty OF time had been
given the waiting friends to digest
Their supper and the lunch was high
ly enjoyed.
Mr.. James was called upon for
talk and he responded for about forty
five minutes with q very interesting
and instructive account OF his trip to
Europe and the conditions he found
existing among the allies OF the Unit
ed States over there.
His portrayal OF conditions there
showed the habitual dlscord that is
rampant and OF which there is no sign
OF recession. Mr.. James has op-
posed tho peace treaty with the
League OF Nations covenant included
for the reason that he doesn't feel
that our young mon should be sent
across the seas TO fight for any coun-
try other than tho United States and
he knows from his conversation witt
Premier venseious and other foreign
dignitaries who helped frame the
peace treaty that they think II means
that the United States must como to
their aid even though the United
States isn't menaced by the quarrel
nor interested any way in It's outcome.
Mr.. James states that the French |
authorities have already announced |
that one OF the first matters that will
be laid before the council OF the Lea
que OF Nations when II meets at GeL
neva Is that OF dividing the war debt
OF the allies against Germany In the |
late war among all OF them in pro-
portion to their wealth and popula-
tion.
The congressman's talk was punct-
uated frequently with applause from
the soldier boys who could appreciate
more than any others the conditions
existing in Europe.

The Mckinney Steel Mines

What Is true OF tho Hanna proper
ties is likewise true OF the Mckinney
Steel properties, the Dunn and Od-
gers. which are now being operated.
Both OF these two properties cleaned
up their ore piles last year and are
now producing at a rapid rate for
stockpile. The odgers, in addition to
the mining operations, is engaged on
q big new shaft which is proposed TO
serve the mine as its chief avenue OF
output Tho work OF completing this
new Improvement will be continued
well into the summer as there are

tho 4th level OF the property.
The operators propose an innova-
ton in the equipping OF this property
through the placing OF the crushing
plant underground. We have been
promised a complete survey OF the
work at this new shaft with sketches
and drawings that we hope to produce
in some subsequent issue and which
will give some interesting data as 20
the sinking operations and the plan
ming for the handling OF the ore
through this shaft when II is put into
operation.
The Tobin mine OF this company is
still idle although there are rumors
OF its resumption. One story Is that
the shortage OF coal is holding its re-
sumption OF operations back. II so Il
Ia likely that 1920 will roll around
before there Is any work done at the
property.
