COS sPARRoWs PAID FOR.
Time for State Bounty Will Expire al
End of February.

Clerk Martin Prisk of the village OF
Laurium has purchased no less than
COS sparrows this year. OF course
Clerk Prisk has acted merely as an
agent i'm the distribution of state boun-
ty for sparrows. the above represent
ing the total number OF sparrows pre-
scented for bounty so far.
The time provided in the state laws
for paying bounty on sparrows expires
at the end of this month and the rec
ord of the young hunters will probably
excel the record of other years. At the
present time the total bounty paid,
$12.l0, equals the total amount paid
last year and it is likely that during
the present week a large number OF
birds will be presented.
John Jeffrey of Laurlum holds the
record for the largest number of spar
rows presented. for bounty at one time,
he having brought So to the village
clerk during the Christmas vacation.
w. w. Mercer is next with 81 and Al
bert Schaefer secured so.

FUND is STILL LOW.

Ed Bast, treasurer of the fund
which is being raised by the sports
men of Calumet with which to secure
rabbits, fish and other game for the
purposes of propagation in the copper
country, reports that the money at his
disposal so far is very small When
the c. & ii. Rod and Gun club started
the movement to import rabbits for
the copper country and bring about
concerted action by the sportsmen IN
the matter Of planting fish, Mr. Bast
was named treasurer of the fund. The
contributions have been very limited
so far. A meeting of the sportsmen
will be held next Sunday to urge legis-
lation which will restrict and prohibit
the sharing of rabbits, and to discuss
other steps which will improve the
hunting conditions.

COLD WEATHER TO HELP
OPERATIONS IN WOODS
Operators Assert Season Will be
Prolonged by Recent
Cold Snap.
LUMBER MARKET IS SOARING

The recent cold snap has been very
woods according to well known con-
tractor who was in Laurium yesterday
Although the work has progressed rap
idly all winter. the contractors were
beginning to fear that they would be
unable to bank all of their product be-
fore the spring break-up and would
consequently suffer loss. However,
the danger Of this circumstance has
now been reduced to a minimum.
Logging operations this winter have
been stimulated by a rising market
for all lumber products. All contract
ors and jobbers, who at the opening of
the season had contemplated small out
puts, have changed their plans and
the indications now point to a harvest
which will exceed the record for other
recent years. Immense quantities of
sawlogs, cedar products, mining tim
Der. pulpwood and cordwood are being
cut and in addition to these, a consld-
cradle amount of hardwood for CONVEX
sion into charcoal by the iron and
chemical companies. Pulpwood now
commands 81 cord in the open mar
ket, which is the highest price reached
since the financial panic. The demand
for cedar ties and other products is
also heavy and they are bringing al
most record prices in the market. AS
many of the mining companies in this
section have on hand large supply Of
mine timber, the demand for the same
is not as heavy as in other recent
years, but is larger than it was last
year.
There is now no danger of n short
age of work for the various sawmills
and manufacturing plants in upper
Michigan. Timber already cut in the
woods, will be enough TO keep them
busy through the summer If the oper-
ators meet no difficulties in floating
the product in the spring.
1t is expected that during the COM
ing summer recently organized chem
ical companies will operate in the cop
per country to extract turpentine from
the pine stumps which cover a large
area i'm this section. Considerable in
terest is manifested in the success Of
this new enterprise.

A story teaching a wholesome lesson
In this Biograph subject most power
full moral is presented against all forms
iof gambling. and IL is indeed a con-
vincing lesson TO those given TO such
/ follies. for although the hero was res
cued from his desperation by means
of the game, still the ordeal he passed
through was so terrible that he swore
never to tempt fate again in the game
OF chance. At the solicitation of a
friend. who paints his possibilities in
brilliant hues. he uses his employers
money in stock gambling. II is the
old story. He finds his neck i'm the
moose of desperation, particularly as he
learns that his books are to be exam
ined by the expert accountant. Dis
covery is inevitable, so he confesses
TO his employer. who grants him one
day To make up the deficit. 1t seems
hoping against hope. but he goes home
and tells his wife of his troubles and
she allows him to take her jewelry, on
which to raise a portion of the amount,
but he declares he can borrow the ball
ance. Pawning the jewelry, he takes
the proceeds to n gambling parlor. with
the virtual impression of at least dou-
bling them. So he enters the game
Meanwhile, his wife at home is praying
that he may be successful in obtaining
the amount OF his Indebtedness, Of
course. not knowing the method he has
adopted. While she is thus employed
her brother from the west, whom she
never seen her husband, arrives. At
length an idea strikes him. He is an
expert gambler and will go to the par
Tor and try his luck. He enters the
game. just as his brother in-law, whom
he does not know, is enjoying a streak
of good fortune. He has hardly start
ed before things begin to come his way
and at last the game is between him
and his brother in law, the others hav-
inc drawn out. Being an experienced
gambler, never losing his nerve. he has
the best of it, 1t is n desperate battle,
ending with the westerner in possess
sion of nll the chips. The poor hus-
band staggers home. and driven to the
wall is about to finish it all in the con-
ventional way when the westerner en-
tiers. Each now sees who his vis-a-vls
was, and the young man is able to
make restitution, but he loses his posi-
ton, for he has lost the reputation Of
trustworthiness. The westerner, how
ever, is prosperous and promises to
assist him, at the same time Impress
ing him with the criminal folly of gam
bling, The story is an interesting one
and is extremely convincing in detail
and action.

a Most Facinating
Picture
"COALS OF
FIRE"

A most beautiful spot i'm the Spanish
Pyrenes, on the French border, is the
scene in which the present story is en-
acted. Wild scenery, different from
any yet depicted in film picture, lends
beauty and charm to an already fascin-
ating subject.
A poor peasant boy, whose mother
is lying seriously i'll in a poverty
stricken cottage, goes out to endeavor
to earn a few pennies by playing on his
mandolin.
He succeeds i'm attracting a crowd Of
peasants and is entertaining them
when a rough fellow rides up on a
mule and after speaking roughly to
the poor boy, cuffs him cruelty. The
muleteer and one of them, a good
hearted farmer, takes him by the hand,
hears about the poor, sick mother and
accompanies the child to the bedside of
his parent who, in the meantime, had
passed away.
The peasant leads the child to his
home where his sympathetic wife
adopts the little boy.
The mule driver, who has not forgotten
the rough handling he received from
the peasants for mlstreating the child,
now brings a barrel of gunpowder'
places IL on the doorstep of the cottage
where the boy is living with his foster
parents and sets fire to the fuse to ex-
plode the powder and kill the entire
family. However, the fuse is not Ions
enough so the gunpowder blows up
prematurely. totally binding the mule
teer. but doing no harm to his intend
] ed victims.

TO inaugurate I'm the near future d

Calumet, Mich,
Dear Miss Walz:
The work OF the legislative commit
tee of NJ. 5. +. w. c. as you already
know, Is an effort 10 help the women
of our state to better know the laws
by which Michigan as well as United
states is governed. We hope this year
70 create such an interest in govern
ment that our club women will try to
learn TO know the value OF good laws
and the need of the enforcement of
the same. Women are asking for a
voice in the making of laws. They
have already the privilege of fran
chise in certain municipal questions.
Can we not as a committee help the
women of our state to study these
problems and use their power of fran
chse to better the conditions?
our committee this year consists of
thirteen Q3) members-one from each
congressional district and chairman.
My plan Of work is 10 make each
member a chairman Of her own dis
trict. 1t is her privilege to carry on
the work among the women of her
division as she thinks best, TO obtain
certain results. In no case TO confuse
Woman's Suffrage with the work of
our committee, and as your chairman,
/ would ask that no matter what our
personal feeling in this regard might
be. that it may not enter into our COM
mittee work at this time.
am having printed copies of the
bin which we are TO work for in next
years legislature; these | would like
placed i'm the hands of each federated
club Of the state.
This years work ! would make en-
tirely educational and next years
when the Legislature is in session,
practical.
Very sincerely yours.
KATE o. ENGLISH.
