"A JUBILEE
INSTEAD OF
THE PICNIC.
Frustrated in Their Scheme TO
Hold a Range Picnic the
Maccabees are Talking Of
Holding a Jubilee in This
City Soon. Boyington to
Come,

The weather last Monday was so
frightfully against ali kinds Of out.
door pleasure that the Maccabees had
to abandon the picnic Tickets had
been sold at all places where the tents
intended going but agents were on
hand in the morning to take MP the
tickets and return the money. A
dozen people went to Spread Eagle
from Iron Mountain and Mr.. Jessen
went from this city, more to sypmath-
ize with the hotel keeper at the lake
than TO take any pleasure ont Of the
trip. The hotel man had spent about
800 preparing for the crowd aud Il
ont that much money Had the day
been right he would have been amply
repaid
What will I've dore now is the
question that is being put to the local
Maccabees. Nothing definite has been
settled upon but il il thought that no
picnic will be held as when an affair
of the kind is postponed it il always
spoiled a number "a the local Mac
cabees are talking of having rousiug
time in this city later on and inviting
Father Boyington 20 meet with them.
The delegates elected by the various
tents will certainly meet aud it is
thought that a good rally here will be
about the best that can be had now that
the picnic failed Next year the
picnic will be tried again.

Sundays Game
The game on the following day was
of far different kind and may be
called good exhibition of the game
Frank Mckenzie, the former Crystal
Falls back stop, arrived in the city
on Saturday evening and went into the
game for the Daggett boys on Sunday
Joe Meneau went to Menominee Satur-
day night leaving the Daggett boys a
player shy. The crowd was well
pleased TO have Mckenzie help the
Daggetts cut as il evened up the
game very much more. Gundstrom
was at the slab and his work was a
genuine surprise to all He kept the
hits well scattered except in two
innings when the locals found him for

pulling out a victory. The crowd took
mp the spirit of the contest and each
side was enthusiastically cheered the

applause.

locals with Densmore on the receiving

into which the order was bound to
fall and with other members made
fight to change the assessment method
from the uniform rate to the graded
rate plan which has recently been ad
opted The United Workmen assessed
all members at the rate Of 81 per
thousand of insurance irrespective Of
the age of the member. Old and young
paid alike It was discerned that
this method would operate TO dis
courage the younger men, and they
did not come into the order in the
numbers that they should and many
were driven out. The gray heads Of
the order were against us younger
men when we tried TO bring about this
reform, and voted us down in the con
vention, without listening to us. They
talked of 'perpetuating the order by
recruiting the membership. said to
one of our opponents at that time

Incident.

There WAS meeting Of the city
council l. last Wednesday evening. and
while IL was no as important as some
meetings that have been held IN the
city hall yet there was considerable
work done that was of importance.
The matter Of protecting the road at

for some time. the result being that a
resolution was adopted instrucitng the
street Commissioner TO at once begin
the u ction Of break water so as to
prevent the water from flowing over

is sadly needed and the prosecution

BEST BASKET MATERIALS.
California Produces Roots, Grasses
and Ferns Much Sought After
by Indians.

Collectors of Indian baskets agree
In conceding the. greatest beauty of
form and design to the products of
certain parts of California. AS yet,
though, the source of some of the
material incorporated into those ex-
quisite pieces Of handicraft has been
a mystery. c. Hart Merriam sup
plies in Science some interesting in
formation on that point.
One color of which much use is
made is a buff brown that grows
richer with age. By careful selec-
ton handsome dappled effect is Sc
cured with it. This material, the In
dians told Mr.. Merriam, is the root
of marsh plant, which they travel
far to get.
After long hunt he obtained speci-
mems, and a California botanist iden-
tilted it as ''cladium mariscus." The
split root is wound around the
foundation of yellow grass.
For black the Indians use the root
of the brake fern. Red is generally
obtained from the redbud tree, the
twigs being gathered after the au-
tumn rains.
Another red, employed by the Kern
valley Indians, is sometimes called
"cactus root" Mr.. Merriam has dis
covered, however, that it is the un-
peeled root of The yucca.
The plant is found in the upper
part Of the Mohave desert, and
reaches over the Sierras into the vi
cinity of the Kern. Here, again,
there is variation Of tint which
permits beautiful shading with a sim
gle substance.
Blacks are produced in the Death
valley by the split seed pods of the
"devil's horn" (martynia), and the
root OF marsh bulrush. By burying
the latter in ashes it can be made to
assume a brownish or purplish hue.
In the Colorado DESERT Of Cali
fornia, black and orange brown are
secured from the leaf of a desert
palm.
Either in combination with yucca
root or alone, the bright red shafts
Of the wing and tail feathers of
woodpecker give striking effects.
