that the bridges spanning the stream
should have a span of at least 100
feet in order that rafting OF logs
will not be embarrassed by bridge
piers.

was had. Cards, music, and refresh
ments were among the chief enjoy
nents Of the evening, and the balance
OF the time was spent in reviewing
many incidents which occurred at
intervals during the outing.
Progressive pedro was the feature
game of the evening, and the prizes
we're awarded to the following con-
testants: Miss Tessie Vaughan,
6rst prize for ladies; George Barry,

With the reopening OF the L'Anse

enthusiast in this branch OF athletics,
was chosen as coach, with Hubert
Brennan as his assistant.
Practice games are being con-
Quoted daily or the school campus,

RATE IN EFFECT.
Minimum Charge on Freight Of 100
Pounds Is Now Forty Cents.

The new freight rate on packages
of 100 pounds or less in weight for
all points west of Chicago went into
effect last week. The change was
brought to the notice of the business
men Saturday. The minimum rate at
forty cents is an increase of fifteen
cents. la many instances this will
mean very substantial increase to
business men, particular those who
send out large number of small
packages. Many Of the business men
will have large freight bills to pay
on the packages they send away.
There will be no change whatever in
the rate Of packages 10 excess
of 100 pounds so that the
dealer receiving goods in large
quantities will not be put to ad-
ditional expense. The increase in
the minimum rate will make vast
difference to the railway companies,
as there are great many more
small packages than larger ones
handled.
People who are buying groceries
and other supplies from the city
concerns will notice the difference,
as under the old rate they very
seldom had to pay more than twenty
FIVE cents for their packages, the
average weight being between fifty
and 100 pounds. The additional
fifteen cents will add to the cost of
their goods and eventually it may
result 10 good to the merchants of
the smaller towns, as the freight is
paid in practically all cases by the
consumer.

GALA DAYS FOR
THE FARMERS
Secretary Mcnamara. of the Copper
Country Fair, Opens Rapid Fire
Advertising Guns for the
Great Event.

On page eight of this. issue readers
will find an advertisement proclaim
ing the coming event of the year in
the copper country-the Copper
Country Fair-which since its inaug.
uration has found warm spot, not
only in the hearts OF the people OF
Houghton county, but likewise Bar.
aga county, and in a letter from the
secretary we are informed that
Baraga county is looked toward with
great favor again this year as one OF
the chief counties from which the
society expects splendid repre-.
sentation.
In years past Baraga county's ex.
hibits have made some excellent
showings, and the recognition of
this is plainly manifested in the ur-
gent appeal for a similar showing at
this year S fair.
1t is understood that the commit
tees in charge OF the fair this year
are sparing no pains whatever TO
give the public one of the greatest
exhibitions in the history of the as
sociation. Many new and novel at
fractions have been secured for the
amusement loving people. and judg-
ing from the rapid progress and the
general enthusiasm, which is being
shown by every one in the four coun-
ties which is embraced in the asso-
citation, the outlook is for one of the
best.
The big building in which the fair
will be held will be laid out accord
ing to an elaborate scheme prepared
by the manager. In general, the
booths and pavilons will be arranged
in the form of gigantic cross, one
promenade extending down the cen
ter of the floor and another inter-
secting at right angles. At one end
third promenade will be laid out in
the form Of an arc of circle.
Here the features OF the old-time
cattle and stock show will rub elbows
with the ultra, modern devices and
exhibits OF the residents of the coun-
try. Pumpkin pies and doughnuts
will be arranged alongside the pro-
ducts of tireless cookery and electric
ranges, and in the stables the milk
ing stool and mechanical mixer will
be found side by side.
Besides the many exhibits will be
the thrillers, such as the balloon as
tensions and other forms OF enter
tainment. A feature of the entire
show will be the electric lighting of
the big building. The electric light
ing will be arranged, not alone to
furnish brilliant light, but also to
bring about many novel and beauti-
ful effects.
