cmAReING FOR NINE WASTE
Supt Harrison Asks Thirty Cents
Per Yard For Mine Waste Rock

The action OF local Supt. Harrison
OF the Mckinney Steel Company in
asking 80 cents per yard for mine
waste taken from the rock piles at
the Dunn mine has caused a great
deal OF comment about the city, espe-
cially from those who are striving to
husband as much OF the public re-
sources as possible TO distribute
among the Idle labor OF the commun-
ity, almost all OF which has been
made idle by the closing down OF the
mines. Most people feel that the nm
ing companies should promote, rataer
than retard, the spreading out of pun
lie funds at this time so that the
money available may benefit the larg-
est possible number.
In fact. never until Harrison came
here. has rock. from the waste dumps
been charged for when the rock was
taken by the public officials and. even
at this time. other mine superintep-
dents are welcoming the taking OF the
rock II II will aid any in giving men
work.
One gentleman In discussing the
subject said that IL is a matter that
should be called 10 the attention of
the taxing officers for II the rock in
the waste dump at the Dun mine is
worth 30 cents per yard the township
OF Mastodon has a very large piece of
property to put upon the tax roll OF
that township and Mastodon needs
the money
Others call attention 10 the fac: that
the waste rock belongs 10 the fee
owners OF the properties unless the
mining companies wish TO dispose OF
II and pay royalty upon the rock A
continuation OF this niggardly policy
on the part OF the local mining Of

The base ball enthusiasts or our
sister city are organizing team TO
contend with other teams OF the To-
cality this season. Iron River Is a
good base ball town and the fact that
they have a strong team over there
will add very much to the prosperity
OF the local team for it's the rivalry
between these two towns that makes
the game pay.
In speaking of the new organiza-
tion the Reporter says:
While all OF the positions have not
been definitely decided upon, the fol-
lowing represents for the greater
part these positions which are now
thought permanent:
Frank Dahl--Catcher
r. Furcell-Finst Base.
+. Smith Second Base.
+. Hamacker-Third Base
A. Tegge-Left Field.
w. Byrns-Conter Field.
II. Hagelin-Right Field.

as yet been selected. Despite the va

positions, enthusiasm IS high and lit

GAME A THRILLER
seasons Opener Was Record In
Length, Boners, ThriIlers and
Many other Features


A game of baseball running through
fourteen innings and lasting four
hours was what Crystal Falls-Alpna
people were treated 10 at the opener
last Sunday Fourteen innigs of sen
sational ball and cold beans for sup
per. Some evaded the chilled stun by
going home 10 supper and returning
to the game which commenced at ais
and ended at 7:15.
Everyone had his moneys worth.
He who claims differently has poor
conception OF value. OF course there
were some errors and also some bon
ers pulled but what does one expect
at the first game Of the season; Ger
tainly not mid season ball There
was plenty og sensational fielding,
lots OF stick work and considerable
pep tn evidence all through the game.
Along towards the end the pitchers
were pretty tired but they stuck dog
gedly through and the termination
was no disgrace TO either team.
Bowman was in the box for the Nj
agara boys and he had his curves
working right. He wasn't as impreg-
nable as when he shut the locals
without hit last fall but he was
good and when Bowman is good the
game rs bound to be interesting.
Kinder held the mound for the To-
calls and he held IL down with a ven
geaDce. 1t was his first workout for
the year and when a man pitches
fourteen innings right at the start 1t
means that he has some endurance.
The score 4 10 doesn't indicate
much OF the real contest IL shows
that that the two teams were about
an even match. Crystal Falls bad the
best OF it when II came to support for
the men behind Kinder fielded well
and sharply cutting of many runs
that otherwise would have given the
game to the visitors. One freak play
was the dropping OF fly ball by "Bill'
Johnson in right field and his recover
ing OF d in time To. work a Gouble
play. With man on first and second
the ball was hit out and should have
been an easy out. The Niagara run
ners we're justified in holding close
10 the bases. Johnson dropped the
ball and with a quick recovery he
snapped 1t to third and Kenny relayed
It back TO second forcing out both Of
the runners.
There was some talk OF psitting
the game at 500 o'clock but Captain
Demerasky put his fot down upon il;
said the people came to see a game
and It should go on as long as there
was light enough 20 see the ball.
The break came in the fourteenth
inning when with one on Williams
lined a sizzier through second scoring
the man from the keystone sack and
terminating as heart racking a game
as has been played on the Local
grounds.
There was big delegation from
Niagara and other towns in the neigh
borhol so that the visitors had plenty
of support They played their usual
gentlemanly game. clean and inter-
esring.
The attendance was very good and
the baseball boys feel much encour-
aged

ALLIANCE SESSION LAST MONDAY
NIGHT WAS INTERESTING
MISS HALLS TALK PLEASED
Directors Assured That Road Work
Will Start in Ernest During
Iune Month

The laboring men are getting
tired OF promises; they want to see
some action and are looking to us TO
bring about some concrete results"
said director Chadbourne OF hhe
Citizens Alliance at the meeting OF
the directors, held Just before the
public meeting was called last Mon
day evening.
We want to know why the road
work has not been started so that
men who are our OF work may get
employment" continued Mr. Chad
bourne.
The replies to Mr.. Chadhourne's
request for information we're graft
flying in that the directors were able
for the first time since the Alliance
was formed 10 give some definite
answer to the request.
The news had just been received
from Escanaba that the Iron county
Baraga county road would be let on
the l4th of June That will open up
places for about $50 men almost all
from this side OF the county.
The Chicagon ke-Stambaugh
road was let Tuesday and that will
furnish employment to about 100
men, all from the west side.
In addition Mr.. William Holmes
has made the preliminary survey Of
te Villas county cutoff and that will
be ready for letting in about a
months time, making places for. 20O
more men from the west side.
Officials Helping Out
The committees appointed TO call
upon the Crystal Falls township and
Crystal Falls city authorities re-
ported that they had found those Of
ficfals very willing 20 help out; tha;
the township has $4,000 TO spend
upon highways and the city has about
the same amount.
Criticism was made OF the city be-
cause OF the small number OF laborers
actually employed against the large
number idle. the directors being OF
the opinion that as much OF the
money spent as possible should 60 to
labor where, results of about the
same cost could be got.
Meeting Poorly Attended
The general meeting was poorly
attended there being not over sew
enty-dve present when President
Byers called Il TO order
The High School band turned out
and furnishe the music after which
there were addresses by MIR. Bycrs,
Mrs. Oxman, Rev, Father Lenhart
and Miss Hall
The addresses were all listened TO
with interest as most OF them dwclt
upon what team work can do for
Iron county.
Miss Halls talk was on the sub
ject OF Home Buying" and during
her discourse she presented figures
showing costs OF living and OF sup
plies in different places in and about
Iron county and also prices iiustrat-
ing the saving that can be made by
collective buying.
Her talk was well worth listening
TO and II caused a great deal Of dis
cussion after the meeting ended
Another meeting was held at lion
River last night at which the pro-
gram was practically the same as at
the meeting held here
The purpose OF these meetings is
TO stir up public interest and sonae
