GENEYIEVE WARD,
ACTRESS DIES
Famous American Tragedienne
SUccurnbs To Heart Failure
In London

LONDON, August 18.-(By the
Associated Press )-Genevieve Ward,
famous American tragedienne, died
of heart failure Friday at her home
IN hampstead.
Genevieve Ward, American trage-
dienne, affectionately known to the
theatrical fraternity as the Grand
old Dame Of the Stage" endeared
herself to millions of theater-goers
in every corner Of the world during
the SIS years she appeared before
the public in almost every role from
grand operat ii light comedy.
Great as she proved to be in mock
tragedy, she was none the less re-
markable for the indomitable cour-
age with which she met and con-
quered genuine tragedy when it ap-
peared in her own life. Either of
two events occurring while she was
still quite young might have over
whelmed heart less stout. @The first
of these was an unfortunate mar
riage at the age of II to Count Con-
stantine de Guerbel, of Russia, from
whom she separated, and the second
was the complete loss of her singing
voice through an attack of diphtheria
after her success in grand opera had
been assured.
Mamad Ward studied singing in
Italy and in Paris, making her first
appearance in Paino's opera Stella
di Napoli" unde the stage name of
Nine. Ginevra Buerrabella.

During the week posters contain
ing the bargains that are offered by
the Crystal Falls merchants will be
distributed. Each merchant will ad.
vertise one bargain but IL will be a
real bargain. The present manage
ment positively refuses TO include any
item that Is not real bargain and
worth while one. 1t is the mutual
agreement that no other store will
sell the article advertised by any one
store on that day at less than the
regular price OF the article. In other
words each merchant will be left
free TO expand upon his one item.
AS there will be over twenty items
offered ii can be easily seen that o
bargain hunter can get some very
good values by trading around to the
several stores offering bargains.
IL is understood, OF course. that
that these items are offered for cash
only. A merchant who IS Offering an
article at below the invoice price
cannot be expected to cart IL home for
the purchaser and trust him for the

NOTE A FAKE

Last Tuesday morning a conductor
on snow plow that was operating
between Claiming and Iron River
came To the local ST. Paul station
with a note which he found in the
telephone shanty near the water tank
al the Bristol wye. The note was
written by boy named Walter
Auto, a resident of the Crystal
Fails location.
The note said that the writer in
tended TO suicide by drowning nim-
self in the Paint river between the sc.
Faul bridge and the power plant.
The note was turned over TO City
Marshal Broad who secured Jess
lessen to assist him and together the
men made thorough search OF the
river from the power plant north for
over mile. Not a mark OF evidence
could be found indicating that any
hole had eben chopped in the ice and
as there was no open water the offic-
ers decided that the note was fake.
The boy is on unruly chap and has
had trouble az home .s well as ~
school. He Is IA years OF age and had
been staying with a shacker near the
power plant for few days prior to
the finding Of the note.

there had been no drifting so that a

ket could be secured lie found the
snow TO just 26 inches in depth. Since
that time two or three additional In
ches have fallen so that the average
depth today IS probably about 30 inch

In places the snow has drifted TO
a great depth and along the roads
great banks are throw up by the plows
Unless there IS a heavy addition to
the snow blanket during March. the
snow this year is not az all out OF the

ROBERTS HAS SHAFT PLAN
Has Figured Out u Way 10 Stop Twist.
Ing Of Drop Shafts and 10 Increase

Hon. G. r. Roberts has submitted 10
the Engineering and Mining Journal
his plan for sinking drop shafts so
that they will not twist or bow. The
plan will get thorough consideration

published criticism will be made in the
near future.
Mr.. Roberts has had fully as much
experience in shaft sinking as any
man on the iron sanges. lie has pu'
down a number OF sand shafts by the
drop shaft method and has always
felt that there should be some way by
which the shaft could be directed so

they had been successfully lodged

WILL OPERATE ON MODERN LINES
WITH EXCELLENT EQUIPMENT
Only Ford Cars Will be Taken Care
of For Which Latest Mach
inery is Installed

The new Kingsford Ford Garage
which has been in the process Of con
struction since early last fall, will
open for business about the 18th OF
March with full line OF Ford cars,
Ford parts. special oils and tires ex.
clusively for Ford ears.
Ted Kingsford was In Crystal
Falls last Tuesday experimenting
the installation of some special ma
chinery. To a reporter for The Dia-
mond Drill, Mr.. Kingsford stated that
he will give a great deal OF his
time 10 the work of the Crystal Falls
branch and for his personal accom-
modations he Is having fitted up in
the garage. living rooms which he will
occupy while here,
The garage will be in charge o.
Ernest Jayne who has been with the
Kingsfords at Iron Mountain for many
years and who is one OF their most
trusted employees. Mr.. Jayne is a son
OF Captain and Mrs. VIM. Jayne of
this city and is quite well known
here.
Mr. Kingsford says that the bust
ness TO the Crystal Falls branch will
be confined entirely 10 Ford service.
Special machinery to facilitate the
repair OF Ford cars according to the
latest methods are being installed al
big expense so that when complete
the Crystal Falls branch will be the
best equipped repair station in Iron
county. or, for that matter, the Me-
nominee range.
The principal business of the bran
ch will be the sale and distriDu-
tion OF Ford cars and tractors. A
specially fitted truck TO handle tract
ors and TO facilitate the repair OF the
same will be kept at the branch here
so that the very best OF service can ne
given TO the farmers of the county.
I'VE are going after the tractor
business right, said Mr.. Kingsford.
"The price OF a tractor Is now abont
the same as the price OF team and
we will have tractor on every farm
before many years"
Asked about keeping the station
opeE for night and Sunday emergency
work. Mr.. Kingsford said that the
subject has not been fully decided up
on yet but that IL is quite probable
that some service nights and Sundays
will have to be given as il is hard for
working man or for q farmer TO
get in during the day for his repai'
or supplies.
Full information will be given on
this about a week before the garage Il
opened.

LOGGING OPERATIONS HAMrERED
Dislike Of Getting Into the Snow BY
The Men In the Woods l. Slow
Ing Down Innuf

There is a decidedly hostile dispo-
sition TO getting into the snow appar-
ent upon the part OF the men working
In the woods these days. Many camps
have slowed down very much because
OF the refusal of the men to get into
the snow" Before the disruption OF
labor caused by the war time wage
and working conditions there was new
er any hostility apparent upon the
part OF the men 10 get into the snow
in the woods to saw and swamp the
logs and much OF the logging was
done from the stump right TO the
landing. Last year and the year prior
there was little snow and the men
got out OF the habit OF wallowing In
two foot OF snow. Now they refuse Ia
do IT,
Several camps in Ontonagon county
haye about closed because OF this dis
position on tbe part of men and Her
work excepting the hauling OF what
logs he has on the skids. He dis
charged all OF his crew excepting his
teamsters and a loading crew Tues
day and as soon as the four thous-
and logs he has on skids are hauled
he intendes to close operations His
original attentions were TO continue
with full crew as long as he could
haul a log
Several other jobbers tell us that
the same conditions exist in their
camps and il is probable that there
will be an early closing of logging
operations hereabouts as result
and many men will be thrown into
idleness that could have STAYED at
