Next Monday the fremen and their
friends to the number OF probably thirty
five or forty people in the aggregate will
leave here for Sault Ste. Marie TO attend
the annual tournament OF the firemen OF
the Upper Peninsula and they intend to
have a good time while they are gone.
All those interested to 90, whether men,
bers OF the racing team or not, members
OF the company or outsiders, should be
on hand at meeting in the council room
tomorrow evening, when all plans for the
trip will be finally decided upon,
The people at the $500" are making
every possible arrangement for the en-
joyment OF the outsiders who attend and
count on nearly 5000 visitors during
the tournament The 800" News ex-
poets the Filth Regiment band to attend
and counted on that as one OF the most
interesting features OF the big parade,
However. an agreement could not be
reached and the Lake Linden band will

signed quarters at the Bay City House
and at the Milwaukee House and the
Lake Linden department with the Wha-
len Apartment House.
The boys have continued their train
ing since the start and all the members
OF the team have shown a remarkable
degree OF regularity in training, turning
out at each practice night, and il they
do not take some OF the events it will
not be their fault, At present their
chances are certainly good. In the flag
and hose races good time has been made
and the Improvement has been marked
since they commenced TO practice for the
races. In the ladder and other individual
races they expect to stand fair show OF
winning.
1t is probable that President Vivian
and Alderman Blumenthal will accom-
pany the party and do some hustling to
get the next tournament here. At any
rate, an effort will be made in this direc-
ton and it is hoped the effort will be
successful, for such thing would be ben
efcial to the merchants of the town.
Calumet has the support OF the other
Houghton county companies in this
move and the iron country cities look
favorably upon Calumet, as "a copper
country city has never had an opportu-
nifty to entertain her sister cities in this
way

The Evelyn Gordon company presented
an unusually interesting play at the
Opera House last evening when 1.-The
Modern Woodman" was played to an
appreciatiye audience. The plot OF the
play was laid in the frontier country and
the characters introduced were OF the
rough appearing, but strong hearted
kind that helped to make our country
what it is and who will always have a
warm spot in the hearts OF young Amer
lea. The parts were all well taken and
reflected credit upon those who acted
them, the principal character doing I'M
usually fine acting as was also the lead
ing lady. The villains character was
not up to the others and the dialect
characters were fairly good. The COM
pany has been playing to well filed
houses all the week and receiving the
patronage it deserves.

Every afternoon large numbers OF Y.
NJ. c. A. boys are at work in the park
training for the inter association field
day and the bicycle meet which will take
place on August 8. Most OF those at
work are bicycle riders, but some OF the
track athletes are doing good work. A
well known Hancock 100-yard dash man
was heard to remark the other day that
that association was sure OF the first,
second and third place in the 100-yard
dash and in several other of the distance
runs. 1t is pretty broad statement,
but it was made by one who ought to
know, and it behooves Calumet athletes
to get out and train for the Hancocks
will not let our boys keep the cup an

and it generally goes long way in that
direction.

some body was doing underhand work.

occurred yesterday at Laurium. Two
boys were arrested, but soon after dis
charged, as it was easily proven they
were the wrong parties.

band moved down the street and the
other then finished the overture.
