Probable That Candidates VIII
Enter the Race Fast Now That
Ice is Broken

Frank Purcell OF Iron River has
announced his candidacy for the Office
OF county treasurer To succeed County
Treasurer Reynolds who is serving
his second term and is therefore in
eligible for reelection. Mr.. Fur
cell was in Crystal Falls last Wednes-
day and met reporter for The Dia-
mond Drill on the street.
Please insert this announcement
in your issue OF this week" said Mr..
Purcell. II am candidate for coun-
~ treasurer"
The notice appears in another col
umn.
Mr.. Purcell is an Iron county young
man and is we'll known on both sides
OF the county. He is an accountant
and for the past few years has been
in the Office OF the Iron Range Lumber
a. Cedar Co. at Iron River. He Is a
member of the Iron River base bail
team and in all his playing has been
popular with the fans on both sides OF
the county.
SO far We have heard or no other
candidate for the Office but is quite
probable that others will crop up as
the time for the primary draws neigh.
John Wall. whom the chairman of
the state county clerks says is the
best county clerk in Michigan. will
again he a candidate for the clerks
office MIR. Wall needs no boost
from us as 10 his work In the office.
His office is famed throughout The
state for It's excellent condition.
AS a recognition of his ability as a
clerk and his knowledge OF account
ing he has been chosen as one MEM
ber OF the commission that IS TO con-
fer with Auditor General Fuller 10
re-adiust the accounting system OF
the state Mr.. Wall was chosen out
OF large number eligible for the job
and is the only man from the upper

Mr. Wall will be candidate for his
oliiAt az TIC NOhiinB ~ tiiai tltNAlohs
His excellent work i'm the office de-
serves for him a. continuance az his
post where, in these times OF adjust
nent and change, a man with know
ledge OF the work is badly needed.
II is quite certain thet Thad Waite,
who has had only one term as a sher-
if, will be a candidate, bit Mr. Waite
has male no formal announcement,
deeming the time too early, probably
August ]. Waffen will in all probab-
ility be in again for prosecuting at
torney but he. like Mr.. Waite. has
made no formal announcement.
or course Charles M. Rogers viii
be a candidate for register and II is
probable that he will have no oppo
sition as he Is thoroughly acquainted
with the very important position.
The opening OF the campaign by
MIR. Purcell will undoubtedly blow of
the lid for a general falling into line.

last Thursday night and raided sever
al houses which were reported to be
bling pigs. In all OF them they found
moonshine. the quantities varying
from an ounce 10 several quarts.
The evidence secured was taken a.
way and the owners or proprietors Of
the places viii undoubtedly be sum

The search warrants were secured
through the assistance OF an Indian

NETTING AN ORDINARY ONE

The meeting OF the.city commission
held at the city hall last Monday night
was not very important as there was
only the routine work to be done.
The claims for the month and the
bi-monthly pay roll were paid.
Among the new subjects discussed was
the proposed White Way" blue
print OF which. prepared by Mr.. Eidi.
miller, the city engineer. was az hand.
The entire plan calls for the cluster
lighting OF the two trunk lines
throughout the city proper. or In 9th
or words. Fifth Street. Superior Ave.
and Crystal Avenue where they come
under the trunk line mileage.
II Is probable that 40 more thai
Superior Avenue will be lighted ,hs
coming year. The cost OF the entire
outfit will be In the neighborhood OF
$1,000. BY dividing this up in two
or three years installments the cost
will not fall heavily on any ooe year.
Another matter taken up was the
equipplng OF the fire truck with
pneumatic tires. Since the failure
OF the truck TO successfully buci
snow at the chegwedden FIRE the an
thorities decided 10 change tires as
pneumatics are much better for work
on the snow.
Andrew Nelson asked that the
street passing his lumber yard ofice
be opened up and the matter was tax.

The question OF testing cattle fos
milk and meat was held In abcyance
to await the decision OF the county in
the matter.
