WITH PLURALITY OF 215
ROBERTS WON IN A WALK
Pioneer Resident Gets a Splendid
Testimonial From His Many Old
Neighbors In The City

James j. Gaffney won out in the
city primary by a majority OF 217 ov-
er Axel Axelson in last Mondays
election. Mr. Gaffney won major
ity in every preceinct in the city. his
vote in the second ward surprising
everyone.
The vote last Monday was a record
for a primary. A total OF S19 votes
were cast and all but ten of that num-
Der were counted for mayor. The
size OF the vote was a surprise for
the day was not one calculated to
bring out voters. IL was dull and
cold and sheet OF glare ice covered
the entire city, making walking dan
gerous dn many places. Automo-
biles were out to convey the voters
TO the polls. As a result a large
number OF women voted.
Second Ward a Surprise
The surprise OF the day was the
result in the second ward where
Gaffney beat Axelson by majority
OF so votes. The second Is Mr.. AK
elson's old home and II was thought
that he would get his big vote there,
which he did IL was far from
majority, however.
The first ward gave Gaffney ma
jority OF "a and the third gave him
a majority OF 143 so that be went into
the second ward with a sufficient ma
jority to oyerturn anything probable
that Mr.. Axelson might pull out in
that ward. II was not necessary TO
write Off any OF his majority in that
precinct for when the votes were H.

was based primarily upon the question

THE MARQUETTE AFFAIR
Conditions at Prison Bad But Not OF
the Sensational Kind Reported.

The Marquette prison affairs, which
have been given more or less airing
throughout Michigan dhring the past
two weeks are being given a rest
this week, the legislative committee
having completed its labors and gone
back TO Lansing.
From one In. position TO know
The Diamond Drill learns that the
real bad feature OF the AFFAIR is the
relation OF the prison management
TO the prisoners in a financial way
1t seems that the most OF the defal-
cation has been with the money which
the prisoners earned and had on de-
posit with the institution West. the
defaulting bookkeeper, was supposed
TO have record of every penny OF
this money but il develops that no en-
entries were made in the books for
several years. He kept the accounts
on memos or in his head. The only
record that the board had to go on
was stack OF memos about a foot
thick. These have been entered i'm
the books and soon the prisoners will
be given a statement OF their ac-
count. II is expected that more or
less friction will arise when this ad
justment Is being made as il is Ger
tain that many errors ors-shortages and
overpays will be made.
We are told that the state will not
in all probability. lose anything
through Vests operations as ample
security has been turned over.
Contrary TO reports the condition
OF the prison so far as general clean
Illness is concerned Is good-as good
as can be expected with the over
crowded condition that exists. Last
week there were 160 prisoners sleep
ing in the corridors OF the prison and
not another cot could be put in. Pri-
soners are being received daily so
that the condition is fierce.
The board has made demand for
a cell block but so far they have re-
ceived scant encouragement from the
legislature. IL is reported that un-
less relief Is obtained the board will
refuse to accept any more prisoners
and thus the matter will be brought
squarely up TO the state.

DYNAMITE AND WARNING POSTERS
DISPLAYED AT THE T0BIN MINE
WoRKMEN DISPLAY SORENESS
Reports Are That These underhand
Warnings Nave Been Going
On For Some Time

II is reported that the pumpmen
working at the Tobin mine found two
sticks of dynamite embedded near the
collar OF the shaft recently. The
finding OF the dynamite was followed
by the posting. few nights later. OF
warning signs at the shaft in which
II is claimed that the writer gave no.
tice, under skull and cross bone
heading, that unless work was start
ed soon something dire would result.
Just how authentic these reports are
or how much their tenor reflects the
feeling OF some OF the workmen to-
towards the company cannot be faith
omed. II is claimed petty grievances
against the local management are re-
sponsible for the display OF force
signs. II was known that the local
management Is in bad, both with the
workmen and the community, but II
WASN'T suspected that the thing had
reached such degree.
The Tobin mine was closed down
last fall along with the Dunn mine
and many OF the men put at work on
half time at the Odgers. In the Sc
lection OF those TO whom half time
work was doled out II is probable
that hard feelings were engendered
Nothing to Trifle With
However, the significance OF the af-
fair at the Tobin, il they were as
drastic as II Is claimed they were,
ought not be passed over lightly by
this community. Whatever may be
ones feelings against persons. the
lives and property Of others ought not
be put in jeapordy and that ds GER
tainly what would be the case II the
crazy notions indicated by the report
ed findings were carried out. Neither
will any such indications OF TERROR
ism bring a resumption OF operations
any sooner. The Mckinney Steel Co
like all other independent mining
companies, have found it necessary
to curtail operations They haven't
done IL through malice or because
they are advese to operating in Crys-
stal Falls. II is because OF general
business conditions which they, as
we'll as others, regret exists.
II. as IL is claimed. the action was
taken because OF animosity TO the To-
cal management 1t is certainly III adj
vised and will get nobody anywhere.
Is Disgrace 10 Community
The actions at the Tobin are
disgrace TO a community that has
heretofore borne a reputation of peace
and orderly appeal in cases of griev-
ances. II is the general opinion that
the thing IL the work OF somebody
who Is not entirely right in his head.
AT any rate il should be a warning
TO our citizens and especially to the
officers TO be alert and put damper
upon such procedure.

VERY FEW LOGS WERE LOADED OUT
so FAR THIS SEASON
MANY CANNOT SELL OUTPUT
Small Mills Will Be Pressed Into
Service This Year To Save
Logs From Spelling

Logging operations in this vicinity
are wound up. A few stragglers are
draying out ties and small stun which
they were unable TO get out while
sleighing lasted but in the main there
Is little or no logging work now be
ing done and the large number OF men
that were employed In the industry
are idle.
Jacks are moving about freely seek
ing work which is mighty scarce and
places that were logging centers are
reporting a lot OF idle men on the
streets.
The past season has differed very
much from others in that while there
is large harvest OF woods products,
but very little OF the output has been
put on cars for shipment.
High Rates the Cause
One reason for this condition with
buyers who have contracts with log
gers Is the fact that the exceptionally
high freight rates pile up money fast
and with the present high money
market the disposition is TO allow logs
to stand at the siding until the mill
is ready for them, especially logs that
must be shipped long distance.
Jobbers who sold early and whose
contracts were not cancelled. are in
luck. Many small jobbers who got
out logs expecting to sell them on the
general market are stuck There are
no buyers.
A great many of these men are figur-
ing on using portable mills TO cut the
logs that are liable to spoil into lum-
ber. Most OF the hemlock will be
carried over unless Dc can be sold at
a price that will at least bring back
a new dollar for an old one The
pulpwood men were hare during the
week and some small sales were
made but at prices that are no attrac-
tion.
The lumber market is looking up
IL volume can be considered a symp-
tom OF Improvement Prices even In
the retail end are away down. espec-
tally in the soft woods. The reason
for this Is that yellow pine Is being
thrown on the market at a scandal
Gus price. This naturally effects the
sale OF other soft woods. especially
the hemlock which has TO compete
with that wood In the big markets
The Increased freight rates are
having their effect In stiffining the
market. but II Is reflected mainly IN
higher prices for construction work.
Sales 10 the automobile interests are
being made In fair sizes. A sale OF
about so cars OF hardwood 90 the
Ford interests was made by a Detroit
dealer last week. the condition being
that some OF the lumber must be in
the kiln in a short time. The bulk
or the shipment comes from the cop

 In speaking of conditions in Arizo- ma, Mr. Benell stated that the auto mobile and truck would be the mak- ing of this state. just as they had been the big determining factor in California's development Roads. Trucks! Automobiles, They will do more to pioneer the resources of your state than anything else you can bring to bear" he stated. "The railroads today are not carrying the products of the nation The motor truck is doing it. The railroads are not carrying the great bulk of pas sengers of the country. The automo- bile is carrying many times the num- Der the railroads are carrying. Truly the automobile and truck have dem onstrated their right to the fostering hand of business. for they bring the markets to the farmer and the farm products to the city, and the state question of good roads and adequate transportation in the state which is forging ahead commercially and indus trially"
 Mir. Bennell was surprised that Ari- zona possesses no automobile club. You should have a biz. strong club here" he declared, .'one that will take care of the tourists from the time they reach the state until you have made tourists of them no longer. In other words an automobile club can be of such service to the state that | the great percentage of people who come here will be persuaded to cast their lot with you and remain in Ari- | zOna."
