BOOST FOR DR.. kiRToN.
keweenaw County Man Suggested as
Successor to Maxey.


The Iron River Stambaugh Reporter
suggests editorially in It's last issue
that Dr. j. w. II. Kirton of Phoenix be
sent 60 the state legislature To repre-
sent Barnga, Ontonagon. Keweenaw
and Iron counties, succeeding Hon.
John O. Maxey OF L'Anse, who has an
nounced that he does not care to re-
turn to the legislature. Although the
Reporter is pleased with Mr.. Maxey
the announcement of his retirement
causes that paper TO take ~ the cause
of KirtOn.
II is suggested that DR. Kirton was
a candidate for the legislature two
years ago. but retired in favor of Max
ey. The fact that Keweenaw county
has some claims i'm the matter is rec
ognlzed by Editor O'Brien of the Re-
porter, who asserts that DIR. Kirton
would make a very satisfactory sue
ressor to Hon. VIII Stannard and Hon.

CARRICAN and LINDfR TO

Hancock Hockey Players Decide to
Cast Their Fortunes With Local
Seven-GeneraI Rejoicing
is Manifested Here.

Announcement Is made today that
Joe Under, captain of the Hancock
championship hockey team last season,
and Mike Carrigan, the right wing
man of the same team, who was almost
unanimously chosen for the position
on the all-star team, will play with
Calumet. The management has been
negotiating with these men ever since
the opening of the season, and is very
pleased with their final decision. They
may join the local team before the
game with their old teammates on Fri
day evening, and If so a very interest
ing contest is assured.
The hopes Of the Calumet team seem
to hinge upon securing these men and
1t Is argued no opposition should be
manifested by other teams i'm the
league. Unless Calumet puts n team
on the ice which is able to cope with
the others, the entire league will suffer.
and as the ranks of the Calumet play
ers have been so thinned that IL would
be impossible TO organize a fast team
without new players, the question is an
important one for the league as well
as for Calumet.
