Last Saturday the Calumet High
School played return game with
the L'Anse team, and for the second
time this season administered q
severe defeat to the home boys.
The game was played In Pecord's g
field, and owing to the soft condition
Of the ground any fast playing was
impossible. A rain set in before the
game was called, and at the end OF
the seventh inning the score was IL
to 8 in favor of the visitors.
The game was devoid OF feature,

for the poor ground work Of the

no excuse to offer. The Calumet
boys won the game on long hits to
the outfield, which, owing to the
above mentioned errors, went for
two and three bagaers, when they
should have been outs.

THE LATE
A. P. BREWER.
The Story Of His Career Is An
Interesting One.

uu'Soh =. DTeWeT, prOminent
pioneer lumberman Of Saginaw, who
died at his home in that city Thurs.
day OF last week, was well known in
thissection of the upper peninsula.
Mr.. Brewer was born December 20,
1926. in Hunter, Green county, NY,
beneath the shadow OF tho Catskill
Mountain House which stood on his
fathers farm. When the boy was
seven years OF age, the family moved
to forest covered Michigan, making
the entire trip by water as far as
Detroit. A small sloop carried the
party from Catskill to Albany, and
from there canal boat trip OF seven
days was made to Buffalo, the pas
sengers getting en- route their first
view of railroad train, running
on the only line then existent in New
York state. From Buffalo to Cleve-
land the trip was made by small
steamer, which stranded on bar off
Erie, Pa, OBTAINING the people some
three days. The "Old Superior" a
famous steamer in those days, carried
the party from Cleveland to Detroit;
from thence it took two and half
days to travel in wagons, SO bad
we're the roads, to the home of an
uncle, % miles from Detroit. In
October, 1893, the family moved on
to Oakland county, and Addison
grew to manhood on the farm which
still remains IN possession OF men,
Der OF the family.
In the spring OF 1848, the young
man took up tho study of surveying,
joining a party under command Of
William Burt. son of the inventor of
the solar compass, and going into
the wilds in the nighborhood of Lake
Gogebic in the upper peninsula re-
ceived $50 per month for his services,
as chairman. While on the trip,
the compassman cut his foot, and
young Brewer was advanced to take
charge OF the instrument, giving
such satisfaction that he was re-
tanned in that position. AID re-
engaged for the same work in 1849,
which was spent in surveying around
LAnse. The year 1850 was q
memorable one in the young mans
life, for after q season surveying
south OF Cheboygan, be was married
on October "a to Miss Sarah Selinda
Graves, the wedding taking place at
the old Hodges House, in Pontiac.
which is still standing. In the year
1900, Mr.. Brewer had the happiness
OF celebrating his golden wedding
with Mrs. Brewer, who survives her
husband, and the occasion was
most memorable one, the happy
couple being surrounded by the
loving attentions OF their children
and grandchildren.
With his brother, J. A. Brewer,
Addison took his first surveying
contract in 1852, their work being
back Of Chsboygan, on the Black
river, Presque Isle county. In 1853,
he began examining and selecting
lands for the 500 canal company and
in 1854 had the heextraordinary expert
ence Of walking from Cheboygan to
Saginaw, the walk in effect being a
race with the late well known lum-
