Association Ball All Right.

The grand ball and supper given un
der the auspices of the Athletic Asso
citation of L'Anse H. S. which too
place Friday evening in the Oper'
House was one of the most delightful
affairs ever given under the manage
ment of the members.
. There was liberal patronage and ev-
erything in connection went off swim
mingly. Music was furnished by Hu
go's Orchestra, consisting of four piec.
es, and gave general satisfaction.
The banquet which was gotten up ex-
clusively by the members of the asso-
sociation was satisfactory one in very
respect.
Following the supper dancing was
resumed and continued until after
o'clock, every one voting that the boys
were royal entertainers.

Forest Fires In
This Vicinity.
Barasa County Enveloped In a Dense
Pail Of Smoke, the Result OF
Destructive Flames.

Dating back to Saturday last Barags
county and in fact the surrounding
counties have been enyeloped in dense
pail of smoke, the outcome of several
serious and destructive forest fires.
Those of the most damaging nature
within the county lay in the close vicin-
ity of L'Anse and Baraga villages, and
during the fore part of the week every
day was one of the greatest anxiety to
those who resided west Of Baraga and
south of L'Anse.
The greatest and most destructive
fire was located on the Baraga side of
the bay and at one time it was feared
that the mill town would be wiped off
the earth, as the fire had reached q
point within quarter of mile of the
village.
In the direct belt of the flames every
thing went down and on Tuesday morn
ing word was received to the effect
that the farms of Charles Hanson and
Andrew Mattfalk had met their fate,
also the school house at Pelkie, and
it was with supreme effort that the
little settlement of Pelkie was not
burned beyond recognition.
On the L'Anse side the fire was con-
fined mostly to the district near the
new power plant, and in the vicinity OF
Dault's farm, although some had spread
to a point within half mile of the vii
lage. Watchmen and laborers at the
power plant stopped the nearby ones by
dint of hard labor, but even then it wa
surprising to note how deeply it hat
rooted itself in the ground in its raw
ages.
There were several false rumor
afloat concerning fires in the Huron Bay
district but the only one of any import.
ance was located at Point Abbey, where
it was destructive to considerable de-
gree.
A rumor to the effect that the camp
operated last season by Joseph LeDut
and A. Gamache, also P. Roberts mill.
were destroyed, was unfounded, al
though every precaution was taken il
all cases for their safety.
Thursday morning between the hour
of and O'Clock brisk thunder an
lightning storm visited this section bu
did very little in suppressing the fires
owing to the wind carrying it beyon
the fire limit. At Arvon the rain fe
heavily, as it did further on in that di
rection.
AS we go to press, the most of tn
fires have either burned themselves ou
or have been extinguished and unles
the extreme dry spell which has so loni
prevailed continues, there will be bu
little further danger.

The Copper Country Fair.

With this weeks issue will be found
an advertisement on page four setting
fo tn few of the interesting facts in
connection with the approaching Copper
Country Fair, and if we are permitted
to ldge for ourselves after conversing
with the managers of the enterprise,
we can safely say that the public will
be given many treats this year which
wifi surpass all previous efforts of the
association. The bill for the week
from a free attraction standpoint
promises to eclipse all other years, as
Manager Mcnamara has spared no
time, efforts or money in procuring the
very best which the prominent booking
companies afford, and in one or two in
stances it has been the pleasure of the
writer to witness the performance of
some,, and especially in the case Of
Rice and Elmore, in their comedy act,
entitled "A Rube in Chinatown" also
Johnny Riley, the famous comedy Jug
ler and hoop roller, and basing the 9TH
er attractions, namely Robson and his
year old lion in a balloon act and Lutz
Bros, the armless wonders, on what
we know of the former ones, we can
assure our readers that what the man
agement has to say is all truth and the
public will be given great treat in
this respect.
The seasons products will, it is ex-
pected, far exceed all previous show
ings, and the outlook now is that the
mammoth exposition building will be
taxed for room for display.
AS heretofore, deposit stations have
been established in the various central
points within each county, and again
the store of J. B, Smith will be the re-
ceiving station for L'Anse, Skanee, Pc
quaming, the Mission and surrounding
community, while in Baraga the Big
Store will again care for such articles
as may be sent from that side of the
bay. All articles so deposited will be
shipped to the Fair free of expense.
The general outlook now is for the
most successful Fair in the history Of
the association.

Peacefully At Rest.

Sunday afternoon last occurred the
funeral of the late Mrs. John Curtis
Campbell, announcement Of whose
death was given last week, which took
place in the M. E. church of this village.
The services were conducted by Rev.
H. N. Aldrich, who in well chosen
words preached sermon that will be
lasting in the memory Of the large
number of friends and relatives of the
deceased who were present. The at
tendance was of the largest ever
known upon an occasion of this kind
here and plainly attested the high es-
TEEN in which Mrs. Campbell was held
in the community. Aside from the
large cortege of friends and acquaintanc-
es, the services wereattended by Meadow
Brook Hive L. o. T. M. M, of whic l
deceased was a member and for many
years its chaplain.
The remains were laid at rest in the
family lot in L'Anse cemetery.

Suffers from Hallucinations.

Wednesday morning Messrs Carl
Hsrtvigh and Olof Gust, of Skanee,
were in town, having in their care Will
liam Erickson, who was mentally un-
balanced rs the result of excessive use
of intoxicants.
Mr.. Erickson is Z man about forty
five years of age and for the past few
years had been in the employ of N. M.
DeHaas in the capacity of lumber
piler. He is well known among the
milling men throughout the county, hav-
ing worked in similar capacity for the
past twenty years for various firms.
He has been suffering from this
trouble for nearly three weeks and fin
ally it was decided best to bring him to
E'Anse and place him in charge Of
proper officials.

LOCAL ITEMS.

Rev. H. N, Aldrich was copper
country visitor several dayst this week.
Rumor was afioat Thursday that fire
had played havoc to the mill property
of Prosper Roberts, at Huron Bay. This
report however, proved false.
Joseph Peltrie has resigned his
position as cook at the Detroit Graphite
Co.'S, mining camp and expects to leave
soon for Skanee, where he and his wife
will have charge of the DeHaas cooking
camp.
A. w. Anderson, of Houghton, was
in L'Anse Thursday looking over the
progress on his Court House wall job.
He brought with him few additional
workmen, it having been found that the
local supply was about exhausted.
J. A. Graham, who for the past few
months has conducted restaurant and
bakery in the Sicotte building, dis
continued busine ss the fore part of the
week and has taken position as cook
at the Hydro Electric Power Plant,
succeeding James Deneen.
While engaged at work in handling
one of the large stones which is to
constitute part of the retaining wal
at the Court House, Thursday, Joseph
Cheput had the misfortune to get his
left leg caught in such manner as to
inflict quite an injury. Although it was
a painful one at the time it was not
serious enough in nature to lay him up
completely.

Spent The Day Here.

During Saturday night and early
hours of Sunday morning Houghton
Light Infantry came to L'Anse where
they camped Sunday. The outing was
one of the most enjoyable, as well as
an instructive one for those who par
ticipatei. Early in the morning the ar
duous camp life was commenced and it
was continued throughout the day,
Capt. Cole putting the boys through all
kinds of drills, skirmish and forced
marches. The proceedings were watched
with great interest by the citizens of
the village and especially the members
Of L'Anse Cadets, whom we are assured
learned many new and importent ideas.
The company returned to Houghton in
the afternoon.

Meeting With Some Reverses.

While certain portions of the work on
the retaining wall are progressing in
most satisfactory manner, there are
other portions which are greatly ham,
pered by the numerous cave-ins. A
serious one occurred Monday and
second followed Wednesday evening
and has necessitated the employment Of
number of men in keeping the cave
sand away from the work in progress
on the wall. A little trouble was also
experienced Tuesday in the refusal of
the few union masons employed to work
with the non-union men. The outcome
was the discharging of the union men
and the securing Of as many others as
was possible and at present almost every
man working on the job is L'Anse or
Baraga county man.
1t is certainly an amusing thing to
converse with few who are seldom
found at work, and listen to their tale
of woe; mo work, no work" is the cry
but those who are looking earnestly
for work have but little trouble in
finding it in Baraga county, and espec-
tally so in L'Anse.
With the work at the Court House,
the Hydro Electric Power Plant and
the numerous camps now opening and
other minor enterprises, there is certain
ly little cause for such cry. But then
there must be dog in the manger"
in every town for it to be successful.
