ALPHA DEPARTMENT
WASHOUT WAS A HA II ONE
Mr. ItfJrhanU Droit Through From
JlenomJnee After the Delude
"I never saw anything worse tha
that' washout' was the way Mr. Rel
diardt of the Alpha Hotel described
the effects of tho big deluge that fell
In Dickinson county and stopped traf
flc both on the railroad and the high
way.
Mr, Relchardt came through via
automobile from Menominee tli
morning after the big" storm; He met
"with the washed out uectlon about half
a mile this Bide of Wauceedah, on the
flat between the two lines of the
Northwestern track. At one p!ace a
tig hole was washed out of the road
and several -cars were stalled so
that the driver had to wait until they
got out of his way. A man with a
pair of wading boots was on hand
to help motorists through.
From that point on to well west
of Norway the road was all cut up
with gullies and the banks or Alls
Mere so washed away that one had
only the width of the automobile to
navigate over.
At the West Vulcan mine condi
tions were the worst. The crossing
"was entirely washed away and a new
one was being hastily provided. Mr
Relchardt had to wait while the
crossing was rocked and he went to
Bee a house on the location a short
distance away where sand to the
depth of two feet liad been washed
Into tho house. A number of men
"wcto busily engaged shoveling out
the sand.
All along the railroad grade, where
n was In tight Mr. Itelchardt could
fee two, three or four ties In
uumji entirely undermined and at
Norway the big washout of over 100
feet in length was viewed.
It will take both the county and
uie railroad company a couple of
weeks with big crews to repair the
damage. Trains nro running slow
over the affected section now and nl
most utl trains from the south are
n hour or two behind.

WAGES CUT
A reduction of 10. effective at the
mines of the IMckanda-Mather Inter
ests went Into effect at Alpha on last
Wednesday. The reduction Is not
quite as great as expected and a eaves
the wages of the miners slightly
above the 191$ schedule.
At one of the mines on the west
fcde the second cut was 23 so that'
the Alpha mines have no real kick
coming.
