final act in the logging of the Bad

The official figures are, 1867

white and norway pine, hemlock,
spruce, jack pine, tamarack, bal
sam, and some hard wood, includ-
ing hard maple and birch. Over

to Odanah and sawed by the ].
Stearns Lumber Co, and the mon
ey paid over to the Bad River Chip

There is some cedar left on the
lowlands, and the Bell Lumber COM

CHANGES ANNOUNCED IN
STREET CAR SERVICE
Bigger Cars to Be Replaced by Lighter
Cars on Bessemer Interurban Line.
Reduction in Employees.

In an effort TO stop the continuous
deficit iii the operation of the street
railway system, the Ironwoud &
Bessemer Railway & Light company
IS seeking the approval of the Wis
consin state railroad commission for
a change of service between Iron
wood and Montreal and for the
complete elimination of the heavier
iuterurban cars now used on the
line between Hurley and Bessemer
The demands of the company
will undoubtedly be approved by
the Madison commission and the
new schedules and service will be
installed at once. +. l.. Hinchcliff
range superintendent of the com
pany is of the opinion that the
new service schedules will be re
turned next week.
According to the plans of the
company, the present two-mau cars
on the Bessemer line will be elimin-
ated, and the smaller cars now used
in service between Montreal aud
Jessieville will be substituted. The
Bessemer cars will not be held up
at Hurley as in the past, but will
be run through to Montreal. At
this end of the line there will be in
stituted 40 minute service between
those localities and Ironwood, in
stead of the present 20 minute SCH
edule. The cars which formerly
travelled from Jessieville to Mon
treal will run only to Hurley
Ironwood will be thus benefited by
iO-minute service between Hur-
ley and Jessieville.
The new schedule has met with
the approval of mining officials at
Montreal, for they believe that a
commute service will be ample to
take care of the needs of the shop
pers and workers during the pre-
sent dull period, said Mr.. Hinch-
cliff this week.
The Io-minute service will be
advantageous to Hurley, Bessemer
and Ironwood people, +" he declared.
With the elimination of the heav-
ier cars on the Bessemer line, a
number of men will be struck from
the payrolls, while the power and
depreciation costs will be almost
cut in half" continued the super
intendent.
The retrenchment policy of the
company is made necessary by the
inactivity about the mine locations
and properties and by the excess
lively high costs of maintenance and
low fares.
When conditions return to nor
NAL, car service will be restored,
but something must be done now if
the street railway company is to
operate at all"
Mr.. Hinchcliff said that double
headers" will be run into the city
from the Jessieville switch as in the
past, but should the new system
work we'll, additional switches will
be installed or present ones moved
to speed up both the local and Bess-
emer cars. .-Ironwood Times
