SATURDAY A BANNER DAY.
Calumet People Avail Themselves Of
the Golden Opportunity to Buy
Pianos at Saving.


That the people oGtCalumet and vi
entity are quick TO grasp a golden OPP
portunity when presented 10 them,
was manifested to them very clearly
Saturday during the progress of the
GrinneH Bros. Car Sale of high grade
pianos and player pianos, which is be-
ing conducted from car located on the
Mineral Range railroad side track at
Oak street, Red Jacket.
FROM early in the forenoon until
about s o'clock in the evening the car
was visited by number of citizens
and their wives who were seeking to
purchase one of the Company's beau
tiful instruments. Many of those who
were present had the delightful dis
tinction OF meeting Mr.. c. A. GrinneH,
the Junior member of this great con-
Germ. which has well earned the en-
viable reputation of being Michigan's
Leading Music House, and were giving
his personal assurance of the many
safeguards with which their beautiful
instruments are surrounded during
their existence. owing to his inability
to remain in the city but few hours,
the final proceedings of the day fell
upon the shoulders of the Companys
special representative, Mr.. John w.
Cliffe and his corps of able assistants,
the result being the disposal of six OF
Grinnell Bros famous piano produce
tons.
While i'm conversation with Mr.. Cliffe
we were informed that among the pur-
chasers for the day were Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Chapman of Tamarack No. b,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Johnson, 1856 Water
works street, Mr.. and Mrs. jacob ia
cobson of Osceola, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Larson of Centennial Heights, Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Harris of Tamarack, and
MIR. and Mrs. William Medlyn Of
Laurium.
Due to the fact that the cleanup OF
stock on hand came so suddenly and
the failure of the third installment TO
reach here i'm time. the car was prac-
tically pianoloss Monday, but to the
satisfaction of both statesmen and other
prospective buyers n new supply ar
rived today and was Immediately in
stalled in the sale car and aside from
those which were delivered to purchas-
ers from the ear in transit, who had
seen the instruments previously, nice
new. bright line. will be opened for
public inspection tomorrow morning
A very cordial invitation is extended &c
everyone to visit the sale car where
delightful entertainment is furnished
and the courtesy of gentlemanly sales
men Is to be had. 3l1

LAURIUM HAS A HEAVY
DELINQUENT TAX LIST

The second installment on the spe-
cial assessment taxes of the Laurium
village is now due, and the authorities
are urging prompt payment of the
same. The village needs the money
for current expenses and will probably
adopt special measures TO collect IT,
An early settlement of the special as
sessment taxes will likewise mean a
big saving for the property holders
upon whom the tax is levied. Accord
ing to the resolution adopted by the
council. covering special assessments
for municipal improvements. the de-
linquent tax payer will be called upon
to pay interest at the rate of per cent
after the tax becomes due. Ii there
fore. is to the interest of the taxpayers
to make prompt payment.
The water taxes i'm the village for
the quarter ending on oct. l are slow
in coming in. Efforts will be taken
by the secretary of the water board to
collect outstanding taxes as soon as
possible.
OF the regular taxes for the village,
there is still about $4,000 delinquent
However, the treasurer hopes to re-
reive a large portion of this total
amount after next Saturday. which Is
pay day at many of the local mines.

HowE's MOVING PICTURES.

Polar PICTURES Shoulo DE OF MUCH IN

How the problem of centurics-the
discovery OF the North Pole--was soly-
I'd will be shown in pictures at the
Calumet theater on Saturday and sun
day by Lyman II Howe. What it
means to penetrate to the apex of the
world where man has never trodden
since the dawn of creation will be re-
vealed in moving pictures that are alb
solutely authentic in every sense. To
be able to present the great story by
that modern means of moving pictures
actually taken in the depths of the des
olate polar regions is a privilege on
which Mr.. Howe justly prides himself
There Is no questioning the veracity
of the reproduction. IT bears that un-
mistabablc atmosphere that will con-
vince everyone that here are indeed
the scenes Of actual facts and nothing
else. Such scenes could not possibly
be posed Mr.. Howe's reputation
for integrity Is so wcll known that his
positive guarantee Of the genuineness
OF the scenes may seem unnecessary.

cry sense that it bears the stamp of

HAT QUESTION REVIVED.
Protest is Entered Against Ladies' Big
Hats in Church.

The following communication is SELL
explanatory:
on Sunday evening, oct. 81, gentle
man having been invited to attend the
Hart and Gagann services accepted
and went. Just before him were two
ladies with large hats. BY getting
down low i'm the seat he was enabled
to see the speaker through small
opening between the lower edge of the
hat and the shoulder
He became very much interested in
the discourse, when change of posi-
ton on the part of the ladies shut off
his view entirely. His Indignation was
intense and he said You can go plump
with your d hats" He folded his
arms and sat back in the seat and said
TO his friend: when this thing is over,
wake me and 1 promise you l won't
get caught like this again"
The above was the basis of an earn
est plea for the removal of the hats by
Rev. Mr.. Ward of the Laurium Meth
odst church and the response was
prompt and hearty. Nearly all the
ladies complied.
This IS only one of many similar
cases and ii is becoming serious when
Christian women will bar the door OF
salvation against men in such way
In view of such facts 1t seems to me
that no Christian lady or self-respect-
ing lady would hesitate for a moment
to do the thing that should be done
either to remove the hat during tho
service or wear a small inconspicuous
hat.
II Is rumored that the official board
of the Laurium NJ. T.. church has taker
action and by vote request the ladies
to comply with the request of the pas
tor. We trust that the rumor is wei
founded and that other churches will
follow their action.
The case is difficult one, for ms
Rev. Ward said recently while in q
theater compulsion may be used. in
church the only force that can be
brought to bear is an appeal to Chris
tian principle or to the instincts of q
lady and when these fail one scarcely
knows what to do next.

State Highway Commissioner Ely
says that since July the state has ac-
cepted about 100 miles OF state re-
ward road. and there are applications
on file for nearly IS miles more.
We are making n special effort 10
keep in touch with the people regard
ing the lettering OF the highways. and
we find that more interest is being
displayed than ever before" adds Mr..
Ely
He also says that out Of the SO
counties so are working Tor the state
reward in the construction of roads.
Eight Of this number are upper pc
nlnsula counties, and many OF tho
northern counties of the lower PENN
sula are also after the reward.
II is noticed that some Of the
southern counties of the state have IS
yet made no such move. and in some
counties little progress has been
made.
Sixty per cent Of the roads already
built and under construction are n.
stone or macadam. the balance gray
Ell.
As is known. for a stone or macad-
am road the state pays a reward ri
$1,000 per mile and $500
for gravel roads. Many OF the
roads that have been constructed are
wider and better than required by the
state, which shows the interest taken
by some townships.
The department has several inspect
ors on the road and inspections ar
made of the roads. both while under
construction and after completion
About 60 per cent of the highway
commissioners who are holding office |
in the state this year are new men. |
and the assistance given them by the
state inspectors, II is said, aids great |
ly in the work Of building the roads.
The estimated cost, states Commits |
sioner Ely for a gravel road is
from $500 TO $500 per mile, and for |
stone or macadam. S3.5OO to $4,000 per |
mile, according TO conditions existing. |
The department has report from /
Munising where two miles of maca-
dam road have just been completed "a .
a cost OF S1S,0O415. Part Of this road. |
according to the report, was through
an old cedar slashing and swamp.
where the muck was from three 10
five feet deep.
A large portion Of the stone used In
the state in the construction of high
ways is limestone which is said TO
make a fine road.
Tn Minngton township. Tuscola !
county and in an adjoining township. /
four miles Of gravel road is under
course OF construction. Screened !
gravel is being used and I'm the opin-
ion Of Commissioner Ely the screened
gravel makes far better road than
when ordinary gravel is used. 1t US
ually takes longer time for packing,
but when once packed makes a road
that wears.
