CHINESE ARE WORKING.
Will Secure Special Counsel to Help
Out Countrymen.

Out Countrymen.
The Chinese residents of Calumet
are taking an unusual interest i'm the
legal controversy which has arisen over
the order demanding the deportation
of some thirteen of their countrymen,
which was recently issued by u. S.
Commissioner oliver of Hancock.
That the case is to be contested when
il comes up for trial at the term Of
district court at Marquette is very
evident. 1t is claimed that the Calu-
met Orientals, are now negotiating
with one of the foremost Chicago law
yers to represent their interests at
this time. The Chinese residents Of
Calumet have been travelling extern
sively of late, and II is believed that
they are preparing some very inter-
esting features to be presented when
the cases are called for trial.
Two of their number have recently
returned from Washington. where they
had a long interview with the new
Chinese minister, in an effort to secure
his intercession in their behalf. II is
impossible to learn what success at
| tended their effort.

SICKNESS IS PREVALENT
In COPPER COUNTRY NOW

Calumet and Laurium physicians re-
port that an unusual amount of sick
ness is prevalent in the copper coun-
try at the present time. The mild wea-
Their which has marked a large part of
this month is probably responsible for
this condition. one of the local ply
sicians in discussing the epidemic of
winter diseases stated today that Ia
grippe is the most prominent at the
present time, but that colds and more
serious affections of the throat and
lungs are likewise numerous. Typhoid
fever has not been entirely stamped
out in Calumet but is not as preva-
lent now as n few weeks ago.
There are not many contagious di-
seases in Calumet now except small
pox. Scarlet fever and diphtheria are
scarce. Although smallpox has not
yet reached stage where it may be
considered epidemic, there are a large
number of cases under treatment al
the county detention hospital. one
well defined case of smallpox was dis.

parts OF the county now.
Because of the presence of severa
cases OF smallpox, the physicians o

been called upon to perform a larg
number of vaccinations in Calumet

TRAFFIC is VERY HEAVY.

Calumet railroad men report that an
unusually heavy traffic for this sea-
son Of the year has been noted during
the past few weeks. There are more
outgoing passengers than incoming,
due perhaps TO the fact that some of
the mining companies in this section
have reduced their working forces dur
ing the past month. Many of the ira
velers are leaving for distant points
in the west. where they expect to To-
cate upon homesteads and follow ag-
ricultural pursuits.

BIG POLITICAL INTEREST
IS AROUSED IN LAURlUM
Warm Fight Expected Over Pos-
ition Of Village Treasurer
at Election.
OSBORN ENTHUSIASM SHOWN

VIM. Wass, OF Laurium, yesterday
announced himself as a candidate for
the position of village treasurer at the
coming spring election. lie is the first
candidate to enter the field for the po-
sition left vacant by the retirement of
Frank Baggore who is no longer ell
gibe for election he having filled
this position for two successive terms
There is every indication of spirited
fight over the position of treasurer this
year, as number of prospective cam
didates have been mentioned in this
connection. The names of John Nc
Lean, VIII Lamore, Mike Jearling and
T.. II. williams have been suggested as
possible candidates and although none
of them have made formal announce
ment yet, it is expected that some will
enter the race.
No Opposition for Reynolds.
1t is not expected that an opposition
will develop for the position of pres
ident since the announcement made
by w. j. Reynolds, the present incum-
bent that he would be i'm the field for
reelection. Mr.. Reynolds has made
very successful president in every
way, and his administration has so
far been marked by progressiveness
along economical lines. Although a
few weeks ago it was rumored that
there would be opposition, this is not
considered likely now.
Trustees James A. Torreano. w. r.
Vivian. and NJ. +. O'Brien will prob
ably all be i'm the field for reelection.
No candidates have so far announced
themselves for these positions.
At the next regular council meeting,
the date of the village caucus will
be set, and the inspectors of the cleo
I ton as well as the registration boards
will be named
Big Vote for Osborn.
With the chairman of the different
precincts in Calumet township work.
! ing in the interests of the Chase S, Os-
born gubernatorial candidacy through
the Osborn club the voters generally
more than enthused. and the Calumet
political club. known sometimes as the
J"Triple Alliance" pledged to support
Osborn both ut the primaries and the
polls, there is every reason to believe
that Calumet will give Mr.. Osborn the
biggest vote ever recorded in this
township for governor OF the state.
The members OF the Calumet poll
teal club, which is composed of Slo-
venian- Croatians, Firms and Italians
as well as a number of American born
citizens. are working hard for the Os-
born candidacy. A meeting was held
recently when It was decided to pledge
the club TO vote and work in the in
terests of the 500 man.
Now that the Calumet Osborn club
has been launched, every effort viii
be made to keep the interest aroused
and to bring about a heavy enrollmen
for the September primary in April
Calumet voters are anxious to see thu
500 man nominated and will worl
early and late in his interests.
