HoWE'S MOVING PICTURES.
Fine Program Will be Presented at
Theater Sunday and Monday.

Lyman II. Howe's new program at
the Calumet theater next Sunday and
Monday promises to be a travel fes-
tlval beyond compare. 1t is inimita-
Bile not only because of the scenes
themselves, but also because of the
way they are presented. Mr.. Howe
links the sense of sound with the sense
of sight so precisely and yet so natur-
ally that the effect is hypnotic i'm its
compelling power. lie knows how to
Undue the mere lights and shadows of
electric rays with vitality that is
akin to life itself. Hidden corners OF
the earth, life and customs in strange
climes, and the scenic spots of foreign
lands are all produced in picture form
that is perfection. 1t lifts the veil
which distance has placed between us
and foreign countries and enables us
to realize how others dress, move. and
have their being. 1t teaches without
dryness and imparts certain knowl-
edge which no books or lecturer could.
The new program is truly remarkable
in more ways than one. 1t includes
the first really adequate moving pic
lures of American army life. Relieving
that the country at large should be-
come more familiar with this import
ant phase of our nations life, and
knowing the great popularity, prestige
and success of Lyman IL. Howeb
Travel Festival, the government au-
thorized Mr.. Howe to secure the most
intimate and comprehensive series of
military life that has ever been at
tempted i'm America. 1t did even more.
1t extended all it's facilities to Mr..
Howe's photographers at West Point,
Annapolis, Fort Meyer, and at the
proving grounds" of armor plate and
lguns-everywhere. In this big game
of war" every branch of the service is
seen on review, on the field of action
i'm camp, at the barracks and veterans
like Admirals Dewey and Schley-at
home. The superb natural color eff
fects in other features such as wild
birds i'm their native haunts; a great
conclave of Mohammedans at worship
at their great mosque, form another
innovation which distinguishes this
program over all others.

council meeting next Tuesday evening,
the matter of extending Fifth street
viii be brought up II is understood
that the street is Ia be extended the
coming summer. and preliminary mat
tiers looking TO that end are about to
be taken up.
Before the street can be heightened,
Il will be necessary for the village to

thousands of dollars. Some buildings

moved before the street can be extend
ed.

men who have warehouses i'm the vi
oinity of the Copper Range railroad
yards. At present these warehouses
are without water With the extension
of the street the installation of water,
to serve that particular district. will
follow. \ sewerage system has al

II. Mining company. This work was
done two years ago under the super
vision of Engineer Clausen.

count, too, will be an important one.
