CONSOLIDATION OF NINE TOWNS

Calumet, Mich, May 25.-(SpeciaD
Plans are under way here to com

eight other towns in Houghton coun.
ty into a single CITY, which VIII
have population OF 10000 and will
be the third largest city in the state.
Petitions will be circulated shortly
and IL they are successful the matter

Upper Peninsula. Already business
revival has set in. The improvements
planned or under way include post.
Office for Calumet, several office build
ings for Red Jacket and n series
of parks for Red Jacket and Iaurium.
The Lac La Belle Traction and Pow

electric railroad through the heart
of the copper country from Calumet

tending to Calumet and many of the
old mines are being reopened.
The district in which the new city
