Railroads Cannot Haul Autos.

If you have purchased an auto
mobile and expect delivery this spr-
ing you will probably have to wait
a long time before the railroads can
deliver your buggy, due to the con
gestion in freight shipments. The
popular way is to go to the factory
and drive the newly acquired car
to the distributing center. DR..
Dodd, of Ashland, this week went
to Detroit and drovea car via Toledo,
Ohio, and Butler, Ind, to Racine,
and upon his return to Ashland
gave some interesting sidelights on
the freight congestion.
DR.. Dodd stated that the auto
mobile industry has grown so far
beyond the ability of the railroads
to handle the business that cars
must be driven BY the buyers to
their distributing centers, and
freight of all kinds must be conduct
ed by means of trucks.
In Detroit, the cars are brought
to receiving fields, as soon as they
can leave the factory, where the
agents, who have bought them may
get them and then they are driven
to the distributing centers. Dr.
Dodd stated that i'll his party, were
ten cars, and they met hundreds of
similar parties on the way.
The roads from the automobile
center to Chicago are filled with
trucks, doing the work which the
railroads are not able to meet. All
of which seems to point to the fact
that the Great Lakes to the Ocean
route must be accomplished in ord
ct to meet the needs of the industri-
es which are growing beyond all
belief, in the Great Lake region.
Great lines of freight cars. load
ed to capacity, were moving ont OF
this region, but the shortage of cars
to meet the needs of the automobile
industry makes shipment, at this
time, impossible.

Big Ore Season Predicted.

An enormous season Of ore ship
ments is ahead of us according to
officials at the NorthV estern docks.
The shipments will be way ahead
of last year and if the labor condi-
tions remain settled the orly thing
which will keep the ore from going
in a steady flow down to the lakes
will be the lack Of sufficient dock
room to store the ore and to tie up
the boats.
Already most Of the ore mined in
the Gogebic range has been sold
and as soon as navigation opens W
the ore will begin flowing down the
lakes in a greater stream OF boats
than ever. Every available boat
has been grated into the service OF
ore carrying and a season of in
dustry from the mines to the steel
mills is going to boom

the information that I.yance was to

train stopped at Sandrock for some
special reason as ordinarily Sand
rock is not a stopping station for
the evening train. That the train
would stop there was also known
to I.yance, but he did not get into
one of the coaches as an ordinary
passenger would have done In

State Road Constr 4etion to Continue

Madison, Road construction in
Wisconsin for 1920 has not been
abandoned by the Highway Com
mission, as has been erroneouslv
reported. The engineering depart
ment of the Highway Commission
has announced that rather than pay
extortionate prices for labor or
material, it would postpone part OF
its construction program.
This does not mean, however,
that construction will be abandon
ed for the year. 1t means simply
that the Commission will exercise
common sense about construction
as it has in the past, and adopt
the rule which prevails in all states
engaged i'll larger construction,
that where piece of road cannot
be built at a reasonable cost, all
things considered, its construction
will be temporarily postponed.
Whatever the Commission deter
mines upon as to construction at
different points, the roads in the
state which comprise about y 900
miles including the state trunk
system and the countytrunk system
will be maintained. The highway
maintenance program, which will
involve the expenditure of nearly
two million dollars, will be carried
out as originally planned.

last Friday morning. When the
scook opened the door Lyauce grabb.

corridor and with his partner pass

ONE CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR
ALREADY In THE FIELD.
Attorney VIM. T. Lennon Has Made
His Announcement and Ii Is Posi-
bic that There Will Be
Two More.

/ With tie prospects of three Candi-
dates for mayor at the spring cleo
tion in Hurley il may be expected
/ that the local political pot which
/ during the week started to simmer
will reach the boiling point ere cleo
ton day comes round.
For the office of mayor there has
already been one announcement
that of Attorney VIM. I. Lennon,
who this week made known to
his friends that he would be a can
! didate. Mayor Henry Meade has
not declared himself as yet but
among his friends it is taken
for granted that he will seek an
other term. 1t has also been rumor,
ed that r. r. Trezona will throw
his hat into the ring ard seek the
mayoralty, although confirmation
of the rumor was lacking at this
writing.
The avowed candidate for mayor
and the other two possibilities have
all had experience in the political
game and know all the ins and outs.
Mr.. Lennon has served the people
of the county in the capacity of
district attorney number ofterms.
Mr.. Meade has held various posi-
tons of public trust during his
many years residence in the city
aud has the honor of being Hur-
ley's first mayor, being elected to
the position two years ago follow
ing the change from a village to
city government.
"Cap'n Dick was prominent
in local politics in the early days of
Hurley, and, although he was abb
sent from the city for many years
while serving as superintendent of
the Fayal mine at Eveleth, he kept
in close touch with Hurley affairs
and a couple of years ago returned
home" after retiring from the
duties of his vocation.
In addition TO a mayor and city
treasurer two aldermen III each
ward will be chosen atthe coming
election. Joseph Pollock, alder
man from the second ward, an
nounces that he will be candidate
for reelection. Other aldermanic
announcements are expected in the
near future. Nomination papers
for city and ward Offices must be
filled before election.
LATER Since the above was put
into type we learned from an
authoritative source that Mr..
Trezona had declared to number
of his friends that he would be
candidate for mayor

Her replies to the pointed questions

but thought 1t had been about seven
years, and said that she had lived with
her husband up to a short time before
she procured a divorce, December 10,
1918. She finally recalled hat she met
DR.. Hart professionally while she and
her husband were living at 432 McGraw
avenue. and insisted that the doctors
calls were purely professional, although
she did admit later having sen him
a birthday card and to having received
a letter from him, in which he told her
that his return to her was the thought
