rIgating Canal Company is furnishing
a bountiful supply of water TO the

Evidencing the cooperation extended

the superintendent said yesterday that
when a call was issued a week ago
for go teams to assist in placing the
new dam, exactly 81 farmers responded
to the call with as many teams. With
that force the dam was readily estab-
lished and "a hours after the work was
started sufficient water was diverted
out of the river into the ditch head to
till the canal to it's capacity.
Fishing Good At Dam

Roosevelt lake, V. L. Wildermuth and
Arthur Vault returned Friday night

A BAD AUTO ACCIDENT
Rev. Bickford's Car Was Shunted on
the Road and Inmates Injured

Last Sunday morning as Rev. Bick-
ford's Ford car. driven by Ward Nc
Herman, was passing the Standard Oil
Cos. oil house near the 0dgers mine
II was crashed into from the rear by
car owned by John Kosk and driven
by Flora Oss. The impact was SO
great that the Bickford car was driven
into telephone pole which was snap
ped of by the collision. The car tur-
ned on its side in the ditchby the
road side.
In the car at the time was Floyd
Mortenson and the driver in the front
seat and Miss Ransome. one OF the
teachers in the Crystal Falls schools
and Mrs. ]. r. Baise, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bickford. Mrs. Baise lives at
Chicago and was here on visit to her
parents.
Ward McKernan escaped with sew
ere shaking up. Floyd Mortenson re-
ceived a severe cut in the neck that,
had 1t extended fraction of an inch
further, would have severed the Jug
ular vein. He has been confined to h 3
bed all week and will recover.
Miss Ransome was badly bruised
and unable TO attend to her work
in the schools, her injuries being
quite severe. Mrs. Baise had narrow
escape from being strangled to death
by a guy wire attached 10 the tele-
phone pole. besides receiving severe
bruises. The pole fell clear OF the
car but the attached wire fell across
Mrs. Baise's neck and shut of her
breathing. Fortunately her predica-
ment was discovered In time to relieve
the pressure Of the wire until she
could be removed from the wreck.
Ward McKernan says that he was
driving at a speed OF between Is or
20 miles per hour. He drew to one
side OF the road to meet rig that
was approaching and as he did so
Miss 0ss shot In between the rig and
his car, striking his car in the rear
and sending 1t at great speed in
to the ditch and against the pole.
The fact that the pole was cut down
Is evidence that there must have been
considerable force to the blow.
1t is claimed that the Koski car con-
tanned besides Miss oss, Mr.. Koski's
son, and that the car was not stopped
TO help the victims of the wreck or
learn II anyone was injured.
The accident is one that arises pure
ly from careless driving on the part
OF someone.

GOT BIG ATTENDANCE
l.. R. Mroz Concert Drew Biggest
House Of the Year Wednesday

The concert given at the City Hall
Auditorium last Wednesday evening
by performers for the Edison phono-
graph drew a s. II. o. house. Every
seat was filled although the night was
stormy one.
Miss Petler was taken suddenly Ill
at Eue Claire. Wis, and that fact was
great disappointment as there was
no one to take her place and sing with
the phonograph.
The lady violinist and the performer
on the cello pleased the audience
greatly, while the baritone singer ad-
ded much towards making up the loss
OF Miss Petler.
Mr.. Mroz who financed the big un-
dertaking, is entitled to a great deal
OF praise for his progressiveness.

THREE CARS IN CRASH
Heavy Fog On Urban Avenue Causes
A Bad Smashup

August Schaal was injured in an
automobile accident last Sunday
morning and his car was badly dam
aged. Mr.. Schaars injuries are sew
ere cuts on his wrist from wind shield
glass and are not serious.
The story of the accident is as fol-
lows: Mr.. Schaal and his family
started out TO drive towards Florence
on Route SO last Sunday morning.
The fog was very heavy and when Mr..
Schaal reached the west curve on
Urban avenue, near the old water
works, he stopped his car on the out
side OF the curve, away clear OF the
road. He was upon his own side OF
the road and had but partially round
ed the curve when a Ford car driven
by Frank Turbessi Of Iron Mountain,
came tearing along through the fog
ignorant, IL seems, OF curve being
in the road at that point. He was
going so fast that he couldn't stop
his car in time to avoid a collision
and had Schaal not been where he
was Turbessi's car would have con-
tinued right along on into the ditch.
Mr.. Schaal's car was hit hard and
both cars were badly damaged. The
occupants of both cars stood in the
road disputing about which was at
fault when they heard another car
coming through the fog from the dir
ection OF Florence. II proved TO be
a new Ford car owned by Mr.. Step
haney of Iron Mountain and driven
by him. Stephaney had plenty OF
room TO pass on the inside OF the
road (his proper side) but he didn't
do so. Instead he drove straight a
head as Turbessi had done and crash
ed into the rear OF Turbessi's car, do
ing TO the rear of the car what the
Schaal car had done TO the front and
at the same time injuring his own
car badly.
There was lively chewing match"
on that turn for a time. Schaal
claimed damages from Turbessi for
wrecking his car. Turbessi claimed
damages from Stephaney and Schaal
Tor damaging his car and Stephaney,
although II was plainly his own fault,
insisted that he be compensated for
his damages.
The end was the injured cars were
lowed to the garage in this city for
repairs and the courts will pro-
Dably be called upon to settle the
question of damages

Meetings Held af City Hall Tuesday

The meeting which was called for
last Tuesday night at the City
Hall TO discuss with the committee OF
the supervisors the question OF Home
Economics and Club leader and incl
dentally the correlating OF that work

present were all In favor OF having
the workers kept here IL possible TO
do so.
Mr.. i. w. Byers OF Iron River pre-
sided and explained TO those present
that the committee was considering
only the Home Demonstrators and club
worker but would listen 20 sugges-
tions in regard 20 correlating this
work with that of Americanization
work. He warned those present that
It was a question OF finances with the
county and that the committee could
mt, in justice to itself and the super
visors, recommend any program that
would call for more than an ordinary
appropriation from the county treas
ury.
DR.. Larson suggested that tho funds

For the past month there has been
a quiet lowering OF the big wages in
factories by very convenient meth
cd. II works this way.
A factory may be employing 1000
men at wage rate OF 75-cents 10 81
per hour. Two thousand of the men
employed will be temporarily laid of.
A few days after they are laid OF a
sign appears in the window, "2000
men wanted at Accents per hour"
When the 1000 men are secured at
Accents per hour the other 1000 draw
ing the big pay are laid of and the
process repeated There are various
ways OF pulling this thing but II is
being worked and worked success
fully right now.
The result is that workmen are
more efficient than they have been in
a long time. Employers say that
they don't object TO big wage, what
they do object 20 is tho diminished
return that comes with big pay.
Employers everywhere say that
they are getting better results out OF
their men than they have for the past
three years. Men are afraid to lose
their Jobs now for there are not the
number of opportunities 70 pick up

Papers Don't Garry the News

One cannot tell by the columns OF
the big city papers that men are out
OF work In large numbers, OF, course
there are always men out Of work in
the big cities. It's when the number
becomes so large as is now the case
that one needs TO be alarmed. There
is alarm but the big city papers have
quasi understanding that the publi-
cation of this condition would be bad
advertising SO they remain silent on
one OF the most important topics in
every day news just now.
The cause OF this idleness is the re-
adjustment that is now going on and
which will continue to dominate all
other things for several months at
least. The days OF the big wage and
little return are a thing OF the past
Employers have been passing the bur-
den on to the consumer until the last
straw was piled on and the camel laid
down on the job. The public Is refus-
ing to buy. The result is that big
stocks are piled up in most lines un-
I'll the manufacturers got scared and
refused to pile up any more.
