- x ,
Head Of Keweenaw Copper Company
Makes an Offer to the State. -,

CALUMET, MICH.-President Charles A.
Wright Of the Keweenaw Copper company has
offered State Road Commissioner Earle all the
road-making for the next 200 years gratis
In addition President Wright has offered to
the state Of Michigan an ideal site for a
state prison This is also gratis.
Mr.. Earle visited the proposed site and was
more than favorably impressed with the prop
prison.
The site is about a mile north of the mouth
Of the Montreal river and about three mile
north of Bette Girls. There is trap-rock for
miles in the vicinity, and the commissioner
says it is ideal for road-making purposes. In
addition to the gift Of the trap-rock and the
prison site, President Wright agrees to make
a rate OF 10 cents ton for hauling the rock
from the proposed quarries to the Bette Girls
harbor over the Keweenaw Central road
The state road commissioner Is confident that
since the supreme courts recent decision rela:
tive to prison labor his scheme for making
convcts break rocks for state roads is bound
to succeed. He has two other sites for prisons
which will be taken under consideration by the
legislature. One is Eagle Harbor and
the other near Marquette.
The steel plant Of the Lake Superior cor.
poration at the 500 broke all former records

FACTS ABOUT HATS

THE PRICES Of the furs used in the manufacture
of Hats are much higher than. they were in
1905. A fine hat costs the manufacturer from Is
to 20 per cent more than it did year ago. @*
With the present prices Of raw material one of
two things must happen---Hats will be cheapened,
or prices will advance .z
No manufacturer can afford to sell the same
quality Of Hat at the same price he did a year ago.
The manufacturers Of The Gordon Hat are de-
term!ned to maintain it's perfect quality and, if
necessary, will 9dvance the price Of The Gordon
to cover the actual additional cost Of manufacture

the high price Of hatters' furs will not last, and
