TO BARAGA COUNTY
Copper Country Lumbermen will
Flock the Coming Winter.

According to the Calumet Even
ing News, the depletion of the pine
forests in Houghton county will
make work in the woods there the
coming winter rather scarce. The
News says: Although but little
pine timber was taken out last year
there was considerable hardwood
cut and which gave employment to
a number OF woodsmen. Even hard
wood is now getting to be scarce
article within few miles of Calumet
aad a majority of what is on hand is
shipped in from Baraga and the
south range. Several owners Of
heavy draft teams, who have found
employment for the teams in the
woods during the winter, have sig
nified their intention to transfer
their stock to the lumber woods
back of Baraga, where numbering
will be carried on quite extensively

AS to Truant Officers.

Judge Frank Shepard, in the cir
cult court in Cheboygan last week,
made a ruling in truant case that
will have an important bearing on
any cases that may be appealed un-
der the old law passed in April. A..
j. Finn, duly appointed truant
officer, caused young girl to be ar
rested and fined under the law for
not attending school. On appeal
the court held that Finn was no
officer, not being member of the
police force. Cheboygan has only a
marshal and two night watchmen
and IL has been supposed heretofore
that this did not constitute q police
force within the meaning OF the act.
The smaller cities have not, under
this ruling, had legal truant officers
for years, for In cites having a police
force he must be q member OF The
force and it has been the almost uni
versal custom to appoint some &C
tive man aside from the marshal.

who died at ST. Joseph's hospital,
Hancock, Friday morning OF last
week, the body being shipped to
L'Anse for interment, was held

were very lengthy and impressive,

Rev. FIR. Pinten, OF st. Peter S
Cathedral, Marquette, assisted by
Rev. Frs. Manderfield, of Houghton
and Sauriol, of L'Anse.
Relatives and friends present

Calumet; Mrs. Haun, OF Dollar
Bay; Mr.. and Mrs. A. Wendell, OF
Hancock; Marcus Sterk. of Calumet;
Mr.. and Mrs. John Sterk, Jr., of
Hancock; Mr.. Patrick Shea, Of
Negaunee.
The last named gentleman was
soon to have been married to Miss

as much of a blow to him as
it is to the immediate relatives.

Wipes Out the Old Portion OF the
y Douglass House Structure
At HoughtOn.
A LOSS OF ABOUT $4,000.
The Occupants OF the Hotel Were
Rudely Aroused From
Their Slumbers.

Houghton was again visited by a
disastrous fire early Tuesday morn
ing, this time the devouring ele-
ment consuming the old building
OF the Douglass House property, the
loss by fire and water being estimated
at from $35, 900 to $40, 900.
The flames broke out at about 3
o clock in the kitchen of the old
hostelry and before they were dis
covered had gained such start that
it was impossible to$saSe the old
building.
The Houghton fire department
responded promptly to the call and
devoted their efforts to protecting
the new Douglass House and the
Hodgson Bros. and Hoar building
from also taking fire. Several times
it looked as if the Hodgson building
with its immense. stock of dry
goods would be sacrificed to the
flames, but by the bravery of the
Houghton and Hancock departments
this catastrophe was avoided.
The Houghton fremen were on
the scene about five minutes after
the alarm was turned in and the
Hancock fire laddies arrived about
4
thirty minutes later.
The horses were rescued from
their perilous position in the Doug
lass House barn and removed to a
place of safety.
The occupants of the hotel were
aroused and every body removed to
the new building, many scenes of
the widest excitement going on.
Proprietor John G. Mann and his
aides working like Trojans to res
cue such furniture as they could
easily lay hands on and the heavy
supplies of liquor and bar goods,
table linen and bed clothing stored
in the old building. In spite of
their efforts the loss in hotel fix
lures, dining room and bar goods
viii run very high.
| AS near as can be estimated the
loss will amount up to between
$40, 900 and $50, 900 These figures
were arrived at by estimating the
value OF the old building which is
almost total loss, at 5000, the
the furniture and kitchen equip.
meut at 5000 and the bar supplies
in the neighborhood of $1,000 and
$4,000.
The insurance on the Douglass
House, meaning the old and new
buildings, amounts to $50, 900 with
the T. A. Douglass agency. Other
minor policies are carried on the
furniture and bar goods by the E. F.
Douglass agency, Skiff Sheldon
agency and NJ. Van Orden agency.
The new Douglass House, which
is practically fire proof and which
cost 1925, 900 for the building alone
exclusive of furnishings valued at
$40, 200, escaped practically undam-
aged and Proprietor Mann is attend
ing to the wants OF his guests in the
best manner possible, considering
the lack of dining room and kitchen
! facilities.

wEIMAR.
andra Louise, daughter of the Duke of
Cumberland and Teviotdale. The duke
also holds the titles of duke of Bruins
wick and Luneburg and was until 1892
claimant of the throne of Hanover.
Grand Duke William Ernest is 25
years of age and succeeded to his
grandfather's titles and wealth last
January. He is one of the numerous
petty sovereigns whose dominions help
to make up the German empire. His
wealth is immense, for he owns very
valuable estates in northern Germany,
Holland and Austria, besides fortune
of millions in cash. As he is q reign
ing sovereign, it is small wonder that
the Grand Duke William has been
considered the best ''parti" of Europe.
For some years royal and noble gos-
sips have been busy with his name, no
fewer than seven princesses and grand
duchesses having been named as OBJ
jects of his regard.
The engagement of the grand duke to
the German English princess is de-
scribed as a genuine love match. Prin-
cess Alexandra Louise through her IA
ther is descended from the royal house
of Great Britain, and her fathers chief
title. is British. He is a great-grand-
son Of George III. The mother OF the
princess is a sister of Queen Alexan-
dra of England. Princess Alexandra
Louise is quite wealthy in her own
right and is one of the most beautiful
Of European princesses. Her GRANDPA
ther was George V, the last king of
Hanover He lost that title through
