How About Montreal Hill?

A controversy carried on in
Northern Wisconsin over the highest
point of land in the state, was settl-
ed by Prof. w. o. Hotchkiss, state
geologist, who announced that Rib
Hill near Wausau, had the highest
altitude above sea level of any
elevation yet measured in Wisconsin.
Thunder Mountain near Marinette,
considered by some to be the highest
point in the state, was declared by
Professor Hotchkiss to be con-
siderably lower than Rib Hill Sim
ilarly Irma Hill is unable to claim an
altitude that equals the Marathon
county elevation.
Rib Hill is 1910 feet above sea
level, the geological survey has
found. 1t towers high above other
places. and if equalled at all viii
only be surpassed by some yet un-
measured hill in Forest county, the
state geologist advised. He does
not expect that another hill will be
found to equal it in the state.

STORM TIES UP
TRAIN SERVICE
Range Towns Practically Isolated
for Two Days On Account of
Storm That Delays Trains.
NOT MUCH SNOW HERE
We Got the Wind and the Cold But
the Towns South of Us Got the
Heavy Snow.

Although Hurley and other towns
on the Gogebic range were not in the
direct path of the storm which sweet
ever the northwest this week the
effects We're felt through lack of
communication with the outside
world on account Of the stoppage of
train service.
For two days, Wednesday and
Thursday, range towns were practic-
oily isolated. On Wednesday all
trains We're annuled and not until
late Thursday evening did train
reach here from the south. The
Chicago 4 Northwestern train No.
~, Chicago to Ashland, arrived
here several hours late Tuesday
evening The morning trains from
Chicago Wednesday and Thursday
did not come throuph at all, neither
lid the Wednesday afternoon tram
from Chicago on this road. The
first train from the south for two
days pulled in about eight o'clock
Thursday evening.
Yesterday the train service was
somewhat better, although the
morning train from the south was
scheduled as five hours late.
The high wind and severe cold
was accompanied by heavy snow in
the region south of us, with the re-
suit that train service was badly
disarranged, The Gogebic range
got the cold and the wind but very
little of the snow, which many have
declared as rathes strange, since
whenever there is a storm the
range usually gets ITS share.
With the exception of Wednesday
morning, when street car traffic was
eff schedule for a while, local traffic
was not hindered very much.
Press dispatches indicate that the
storm was general throughout the
country, from coast to coast and ex-
tending from the north to the south.
1t was particularly severe in the
midwestern states, end as usual in
that section resulted in much hard
ship to the residents and number
Of deaths are reported
The storm was reported as quite
severe in the vicinity of Ashland
and from that city comes the story of
intense suffering experienced by a
farmer, Carl Hanson. who was on his
way to MelIen in the midst of the
storm Tuesday evening, driving a
horse attached to a sleigh. He be-
came bewiIdered, abandoned his
horse and sleigh aud sought shelter
n a shack but wa badly frozen be-
Gore relief came 20 him. At pre-
sent he is at the General hospital in
Ashland. His feet, hands and face
We're badly frozen and it is said that

NEW HIGHWAY MARKERS TO
WARN MOTORISTS
New Marking System IL Being Con-
sidered as Standard for Wiscon-
sins Highways.

The shape of the highway marker
will warn the motor'st on Wisconsin
highways what to look out for.
A round sign will mean Danger!
Stop
Diamond sign-"Dangerous road!
SLOW down."
Square sign-"CautionP
0hlong might sign" SLOW down
for turn"
This syst em is now being consider
ed by the state highway commission
as standard for the $500 miles of
state highway, the quarterly report
of the state CHIEF engineer re-
vealed.
The round signs will be placed on
railroad crossings, meaning dam
ger, and that a car should stop" the
commission said
Diamond shaped signs will be used
on dangerous curves to advise motor
lists to slow down.
Square caution" signs will be
Ised at each side of an intersecting
highway, and the sign will indicate
whether it is a side road or cross
road
The oblong might signs" that re-
fleets on coming headlights in red
will be placed so as to warn motorists
that the road makes a right angle
turn
The commission is attempting to
get away from the telephone pole
marker as much as possible" In
place Of the old signs, markers are
placed on the shoulder of the road.
Signs for all cities and villages
have been placed by the highway
commission in the last year and the
work OF marking the names Of all
lakes and streams along the high
ways is well under way.
The state trunk highway system
as a whole is in % per cent better
condition this winter than in pre-
vious winters, the report said.

THREE CANDIDATES
FOR JUDGE
Circuit Court Judge and Judge of the
Municipal Court VIII Be Chosen
at April Election.
RISJORD AND THOMAS UP
AGAIN
Present Circuit Judge and Also
Municipal Judge Thomas Will
Seek Reelection.

A Judge of the circuit court for the
district of which Iron county is a
part will be chosen at the coming
spring election. A judge of the
municipal court for Iron county will
also be selected and a county super
inten6ent of schools.
Outside of the judicial and com
tv superintendent of schools offices
re be titled interest in the election in
Iron county next April will center
IL the towns. Officers in the city Of
Hurley are safe for another year.
The present judge of the circuit
court, G. N. Risjord, of Ashland, will
be a candidate to succeed himself,
nomination papers in his behalf hav-
ing been circulated. So far no OPP
ponent has announced himself and
there are many who believe that
Judge Risjord will have no opposi-
ton.
The contest for judge of the
municipal court of Iron county
promises to be lively one. Three
candidates are already in the field
and there are rumors that there will
be more.
Judge Griffith Thomas, the pre-
sent incumbent, has announced that
he will seek reelection. The
venerable judge has not been en-
joyine the best of health lately and
if tl,. indisposition continues he will
be handicapped in making a cam
paign. However, he has thrown
his hat into the ring and will go be-
fore the voters of the county and
seek reelection on the strength of
his record during his many years
on the bench
A young attorney of this city
James A. Flandrena, has his eyes on
the municipal judgeship and has
announced his candidacy. Mr.
Flandrena was born and raised in
Iron county After graduating
from the Hurley high school he at.
tended the University of Wisconsin
He served in the U. S navy and fol
lowing his discharge entered the
Marquette University law school
and graduated in 1921. AT present
he is praeticing law in this city.
The third candidate is j. c.
Flanagan, who served as register OF
deeds for many years and also served
o term as judge of the municipal
court, hence the duties of the office
would not be entirely unfamiliar to
him should he be elected. Mr.
Flanagan was elected judge in the
spring of 1915. He was candi-
date for reelection at the Judicial
election in the spring of 1919 but
was defeated by Judge Thomas.
The present county superintendent
Of schools, Miss Ida Bradley, will
probably be a candidate to succeed
herself. Whether or not she will
have opposition has not yet been
made known.
