arose from the lawless condition at
Iron River. the result of the lax en-
forcement OF the laws. The lax con-
dition at Iron River came from the
policy OF letting the county run itself
that the sheriff persued until the
newspapers got after him Things
are great deal better just now but
they will get Just as bad again II the
bars are let down. When they do Pat

county officials and see II he can get
as good results as he did with his
village officers.

Mr.. Ostrand was pretty well posted
ON the local supply and told us OF two
or three farmers that had from three
to 500 bushels on hand. which would
indicate that all OF the farmers didn't
clean up. Mr.. ostrand was OF the
opinion that there Is plenty OF pota-
toes for seed purposes and he hopes
that the supply will be sufficient TO
take care OF the local trade.
Mr.. John Tufts, Of the John Tufts
Co reported about 100 bushels on
hand. enough to last his trade about
three weeks, lie estimated at least
SIX weeks before the new potatoes
from the south would reach northern
markets. He had become alarmed
over the situation and thought that
some sort OF a survey should be made
TO ascertain exact conditions In the
county with view TO protecting our
own people.
He gave the local dealers side OF
the situation, saying that with price
OF potatoes at such dizzy height. a
local merchant cannot take the
chance of stocking up any great a
mount for the public doesn't take
cognizance of Efforts made in its be-
half when a question of price Is az
issue. The merchant may buy a lot
OF high priced potatoes to protect the
public but If the public can get along
without them or II conditions should
change SO that they can be gotten
otherwise, the merchant will be left
to pocket his loss for all the public
cares.
Mr. Neugebauer of osterberg e. Co.
reported his store TO be entirely out
of potatoes. He managed to get 10
bushels for his trade Tuesday but was
pessimistic on his ability to get more.
He was OF the opinion that the county
was cleaned out of potatoes. with the
exception OF few held for seed
County Should Make Survey
Most OF those intervied expressed
themselves as being of the opinion
that the county, through its agricultu-
raj department, should bestir itself |
and make a thorough canvass OF the
and arrange for seed enough |
10 insure good planting this year
In other counties, especially Goge-
bic. the county has already taken up
his matter of seed supply and a car
Dad OF special seed potatoes was inn
ported and distributed among those
Who wished TO plant.
Taken as a whole Il looks as II
here is not enough potatoes in Iron
ounty at the present time TO furnish
eed and care for the wants OF the
'eople until the new crop arrives.
Crystal Falls township farmers
eem to have used the best judgement
n this potato matter Several OF !
hem refused to ship out their potato .

County Can't Sacrifice

The county officials will not sac
rifice on the bond issue voted by the
county. In fact the election resolu-
tion restricts them from selling at
an interest rate above per cent or
below par.
This means that the new work con
templated by the commission must
wait. A crusher plant was to be e.
rected TO provide rock for the Iron
River-Crystal Falls road and the
streets in Iron River and Crystal Falls
that are included in the trunk lines.
This work has been abandoned for
want of funds and high construction
costs.
About all that is left Is resurfacing
work on the Crystal Falls-Iron River
road to complete that started last
year Even this work may not be
done because of lack of funds.
The station men are at work along
the line and they are doing what they
can to make the road as passible as
possible under present conditions.
The entry into Iron River Is in bad
shape and all who have to travel II
are fervently hoping that something
will be done TO make that short piece
travelable There has been some
talk OF running the road straight from
the McDermott curve through the
swamp to connect with Adams street
but Il looks as II the people OF Iron
River will not allow this unnecessary
expense to be gone TO. IL would
mean an expensive bridge which the
would have to construct In its |
entirety as Mr.. Rogers very sensibly |
decided that one bridge is enough |
for the state to build at that point. |
AT a mparatively small expense
the present road way could be inn
proved If the Village OF Iron River
would put the screws upon the street
ear company TO the extent OF either
the company to-raise and
pave its tracks or the village doing the
work at its own expense. With that
)ugbear out of the way we understand
hat the state will consent to a pave
nent being built but II will not allow
my such monstrosity as exists on
avenue.
The short piece from the old coun-
Y road end TO the pavement on Gen
see street in Iron River is the worst
,iece of road between Crystal Falls
nd Ironwood.
Question About Baraga Road
County Engineer Larson is not In
ormed II the decree against new con-
truction will stop the plans for let
ing the Baraga road contract this
ear He expects to have definite in
on this project soon.
The gravel jobs let last winter are
ompleted and the gravel will be roll
d soon which will make the road be-
ween Iron River and Elmwood much
lore serviceable, especially in wet !
leather.
The next three weeks will probably
evelop the road situation TO point Q
here something definite may be
nown about what Is to be done. ,

From the copper country comes II,

From the copper country comes tn,
report that the gas works at Han.
cock may be shut down unless tn,
municipality gives the works finan.
clal relief The closing of the works
would be a hardship on the good peo-
pie OF Hancock, likewise the raising
of the price TO grant the relief will
work OF hardship. There is an irony OF
fate about the affair that makes one
wonder why il is that with great wat
er power OF the Sturgeon river close
by, the copper country people sit i'd
ley and submit to extortion which the
development OF this great power
would alleviate. Walter Prickett
planned for years TO supply the peo-
pie OF the copper country with cheap
power, light and heat from his water
power but for some reason they turn
ed a deaf ear upon his plans. The
people of Crystal Falls are shaking
hands with themselves these days for
their foresight in getting possession
of and developing the Paint river
water power. When the people OF the
copper country wake up and refuse to
submit to being exploited for private
ends perhaps they, too, will enjoy
some OF the benefits OF the great
white coal that is running to waste
while they shiver.
