A number OF the firemen have been in.
teryiewed concerning the proposed move
to form an association OF the firemen of
Hougbton. Baraga and Marquette coun-
ties with view of leaving the old asso-
citation, which included all the fire COM
panles OF the Upper Peninsula. Every
one has expressed a desire to see the
movement advanced and there can be no
doubt but that the Red Jacket company
would be glad to leave the old associa.
ton and join the new one and the Houeb.
ton and Hancock companies would un-
doub'edly do the same The treatment
received in the contests at SauIt Ste.
Marie last Summer has lett the local
company with bad feeling toward that
company and also toward the Ironwood
company, where it ia now known that
they had professional men in their team in
direct violation OF the rules and the spirit
IN which the association was formed
1t is supposed here that the new asso-
citation will be formed soon after the
holidays.
