TROUT SEASON TOCLOSE;;
SPOSTSMtN AFTER DUCK

Tomorrow is the last day of the open
season for trout fishing in the state
of Michigan, and those who are cogniz-
ant of the fact have been making spe-
clal efforts To bring the season to an
suspicious close. Several large catches
have been made by the fishermen dur
ing the last few days. The open sea-
son for other species Of fish will not
close for several weeks yet and the an
glers will still have an opportunity to
follow their favorite pastime.
With the closing of the trout season
comes the opening of the season for
duck hunting and the indications point
TO some excellent sport. Although the
birds are not as numerous now as they
will be later In the fall, good sport is
expected. Wild rice is growing nicely
at various places where it has been
planted and ii is believed that il will
prove the means of attracting large
number of these birds.

SUNICh IfllS OF ESCAPE;

Il didn't remember much after fall
ing" said Mike Sunich, timberman,
in recounting his narrowing expert
cncc Of being preciptated into the
Red Jacket shaft of the c. & III. mine
yesterday morning, the deepest vertical
shaft in the world it being consider
ably over one mile in depth.
n remember being bumped after |
mis-steppod from the cage, and later
felt another bumn put out my hands
ard they came in contact with some
thing. / graspcd it. and afterwards
found it To be The steel tail rope. The
wrench to my arms was something
awful, but / managed To hold on, aud
after sliding considerable distance,
during which | tore the skin from my
hands, ] got my legs round the rope,
ana hung there for twenty minutes
until rescued"
1t will be remembered that Sunich
fell $50 feet yesterday morning I'm the
Red Jacket shaft and his miraculous
escape from death was the all -absorb-
ing talk in Red Jacket last evening.
Hundreds can hardly credit the story.
II is true, nevertheless, and Sunich is

100000 PEOPLE
LIVE IN CALUMET
BY TAKING OFFICIAL FIGURES
FOR COUNTY, POPULATION OF
CALUMET MAY BE Es-
TiMATED.

Since the official census figures for
Houghton county have been made
public by Director of the Census Du-
rand, speculation as to the possible
population of Calumet and of Red
Jacket and Laurium villages has in
creased. 1t Is not likely that the OFF,
cial figures for the townships of
IIoughton county will be announced
for several weeks, but the Houghton
county data provides a basis for COM
parson, from which the township pop
ulation may be estimated.
When the last state census was taxi
en-, six years ago, there were 2S,5S7
people In Calumet township proper
and T0,625 In Houghton county, or Cal
umet had .405 per cent of the total
population of the county. If Calumet
has grown rs rapidly as other parts of
the county, and there seems every
>eason 10 believe 1t has, the same
percentage OF Houghton county's SS,09S
people, would give Calumet township
population of $3.50. Osceola and
TamaraclS locations, which are really
"a part of Calumet, although Osceola
people receive their mail at a differ
ent postofiice, comprise about-one half
of the total population of Osceola
township, and the population of these
localities might reasonably be includ-
ed with that of Calumet. The popu
lation of Osceola township i'm 1904, was
7,44S or 1856 per cent OF the total
population of the county. This same
percentage of the total population OF
the county at the present time would
give Osceola township 1904 people this
year. by combining the estimated
population Of Osceola and Tamarack
locations, one half of the Osceola
township total. with that of Calumet, IL
will he found that Calumet has 4O,332
(estimatedD people.
In 1904, there were 1858 people In
the village of I,aurium, or 1883 pei
cent of the total population of the
county. If the same ratio exists al
present, Laurium has "A population OF
9.541.
The population is Red Jacket was 3,
| 7S4 or .O535 per cent of the countys
population. The same percentage OF
the total population of the county, ac-
cording to the official figures just an
nounced, would give Red Jacket a pop
ulation of 4.713 this year.

den Claimed BY This Disease.
Word has been received in Lake
Linden announcing the death at Port
land, Ore, of the second child of Mr..
and Mrs. j. III. Gasser of diphtheria.
AS the Gasser family was proceeding
west to locate on farm. few weeks
ago. il was discovered that some of
the children were victims of this dis
ease. The car I'm which they were
riding was detached from the train
at Mandan, n. ID. and placed under
quarantine, while other passengers
were forced to submit TO health regula-
tons concerning fumigation. one of
the children died at Mandan, and the
other children were sent to Portland,
ore, their destination while their par
ents remained behind. Upon their ar
rival at Portland, little brother, OIL
lie, who had proceeded them contract

arrived few days later, they discov-
cred that the second child had sue
cumbed. Lake Linden friends extend
the deepest sympathy to the stricken
family, in it's double bereavement.
