RAIL RATES ADVANCED
Decision Of Interstate Commerce Com
merce Commission Adss Mater
tally TO Charges

Interstate Commerce Commission
announced last Saturday that a grant
of an increase in freight, passenger
and Pullman rates on the railroads
OF the country was deemed necessary
by that body TO allow the roads 10
earn sufficient revenue to give the
country adequate service and TO re-
turn the 5h per cent return on cap
ital that Is provided for in the Esch-
Cummings bill.
The rate OF increase for the mid
die west which includes the upper
peninsula OF Michigan amounts to 20
per cent OF milk. passenger and ex-
cess baggage rates, so per cent on
Pullman and parlor car rates and So
per cent on freight rates.
A concrete example OF this may be
had in figuring the rate OF fare from
here to Chicago. At the present time
the fare less war tax is s995, war tax
2Octs making the fare $10.15. II one
takes a lower berth in the sleeper the
present charge is $3.50 plus war
tax OF 20 cts or s270 cts. Total fare
and sleeper TO Chicago which with
the tip to the porter, etc may be
stated in round numbers as sl4.00.
Under the new rate there will be
added to the fare s1.99 cents making
a total OF sl2.S9. The berth rate will
be increased sl.25 making s3.75 and
war tax OF 80 cts makes a total berth
charge for a lower of s4.O5.
Adding the fare and berth charges
to Chicago makes total OF $1694 an
Increase OF about $3.50 on one-way
fare to Chicago. This passenger rate
will be felt the worst OF any increase
put into effect. Freight increases will
average higher on all commodities
but that increase is so widely dis
tributed that II will not pull like the
passenger increase.
The Increase will take effect on
Sept. / when the government guar
antee ceases. Applications are now
being made TO the state commissions
to line up the rates within the state
with those in interstate traffic and
such action will undoubtedly be TAX
en-.
The primary reason for the increa-
sed freight and passenger charge Is
the increases given railroad workmen
and the necessity for great addition
70 the equipment Of the roads.

CANNOT HIRE COW DOCTOR

The board OF supervisors OF Gogeb-
ic county put COW doctor on the Job
in that county on full time TO exam
inc the cows Of the county for the
purpose OF wedding out the tuber-
culor stock.
Objection was made by one OF the
taxpayers OF the county and the at
torney general was asked as to the
legality OF the action Of the board.
The attorney general advised that
pulic money cannot be used as fig
ured; that the board cannot put a
full time COW doctor at work.
II can, however, spend money to
protect the public health and II Is
probable that the COW doctor VIII be
kept at work until test is made OF
ali animals In the county. During the
few days that the COW doctor worked
he examined S5 cattle and found 20
OF them tuberculer so the board seems
to have plenty Of reasons for protect
Ing pulic health as the milk from
these affected cattle is being fed 20

CRYSTAL FALLS Alpha AGCREGA-
TON TOO STRONG FOR THEM
A THRILLING EIGHT INNG
Game Was The Most Interesting
OF Any Played so Far With
Complete Harmony Ruling

II was a fine game OF base ball play.
ed at Iron River last Sunday The
score OF 3 TO 0 In favor of Crystal
Falls indicates that II was close
one but It's real closeness isn't really
evidenced in the score. But for bon
er on the part Of the west side runner
and an error by the infield the score
would have been 2 to in Crystal
Falls favor.
The game was really a pitchers
battle in which Thieber OF the Iron
River team hooked up with Evans OF
the Alpha-Crystal Falls aggregation.
Both pitchers were in good form and
we'll supported. Iron River played an
errorless game with Crystal Falls pill
ing up four boners, none Of which
ended disasterously thanks 10 the
fact that in one instance il was a
throwers' boner against runners
boner and the runner had the prep
onderance OF hard matter else things
would have looked different.
To begin with Crystal Falls whaled
away at the wind as usual, until in
the third inning Kenny uncorker a
sizzling two bagger following a
scratch hit that registered the first
run and afterwards resulted in Kenny
scoring. That was the net result un-
till along about the seventh inniRe
when a couple OF hits following a
pass allowed another run to come a.
cross the plate.
BY far the thriller OF the game was
in the eighth inning when two singles
followed in rapid succession and put
men OF the second and third with one
down. Evans than pitched himself
into hole by hitting the next man up
and filling the bases. II was heart
breaking moment with the Iron River
fans sceeching and every Crystal
Falls fans heart humping as Dog
gy" Dale. the best hitter on the Iron
River team swung his club was ready
70 come up 10 the plate and clean up
with mate to the one he put over
the fence in Crystal Falls.
Evans steadied remarkably. famed
Thieber and then set Doggy" down
on three hysterical lunges. II was the
prettiest work that Evans has done
in any game yet and showed that he
come down to earth after an aseen-
sion with grace and effectiveness.
There was no more enthusiasm on
the Iron River bleachers for they
didn't get and opportunity to become
enthused again. A screaming hit TO
the outfield in the sixth was gathered
in by Youngel after he climed over
several cultivators, roller and mot
orcycle II was the stellar catch OF
the game.
The game was the third shou-out
that Evans has pitched and has done
great deal to enthuse the Crystal
Falls and Alpha fans.

BEWARE OF CAR BARGAINS
Don't Buy Cars From Strangers I'm
less You Want 10 Take a Chance

Concrete evidence OF the fact that
II is poor policy TO buy automobiles
from strangers was brought TO Cry
stal Falls during the week by an in
surance agent who came here to lay
claim to the Marmon car which Sher-
in Wilson purchased last fall. The
car turns out to be a stolen car, sold
through dealer in Chicago to the
man who sold II to Mr.. Wilson. The
Chicago dealer gave a regular valid
bill OF sale OF the car TO Mr.. Wilson
has recourse against him but the
question is how much the dealer Is
responsible for in this worlds goods.
IL will be remembered that this
Marmon car was mixed up in the an
air at Hermansville where a young
man from Detroit was killed by
500 Line train. The man killed was
driving a Stutz car and his companion
jumped into the Marmon car and was
apprehended at Iron River. The OFF,
GERS were returned to Crystal Falls
with the two men when the Marmon
car was run into the ditch at the
county farm and badly damaged. The
officer driving was under Sheriff.
Wilson's direction So in order to do
away with the damage claims Mr..
Wilson made deal with the owner
OF the Marmon whereby Wilson ac-
quired the car and the man, who res
ided al that time at Hurley, took the
Wilson Buick in part payment OF the
exchange.
II was claimed that the man who
made the trade with Wilson has dis
appeared from Hurley and no rec
ource can be had along that line.
AT the time OF the accident and sub
sequent mix-up, Atty. O'Hara OF Men
ominee county telephoned to Chicago
anr asked II the car was stolen one,
He was assured that It was not With
the car, when Wilson acquired IL.
came a bill OF sale showing that
Chicago second hand car dealer had
sold the car to the man who sold Y
70 Wilson. Mr.. Wilson has that paper.
or rather a copy OF the original sa
flied.
II is claimed that someone at Iron
River is haking a business OF look
ing up numbers OF cars reported them
by the insurance company.
Among the numbers reported was
tha, OF the Wilson car and II tailed
with a car from man named Kelly
and for which the insurance company
paid. An agent for the company sr~
rived in Crystal Falls last Saturday
and claimed the car.
Just what the outcome will be Y
not quite plain but Il is sufficient g
deter anyone from taking that Elad
OF chances in the future.

FIRST DOG CLAIM

The first claim against Iron county
because OF the destruction OF sheep

Iron River.
Under a new law fee Is collected
