There are five candidates for the
office of treasurer in Laurium, ana
four looking for that of village asses
sor, to fiji the vacancies, which will be

terms of Frank Baggiore and c. Heusa,
respectively. The latter is seeking re-
election.
In mentioning the list of candidates

Gently, the name of Frank Tobinski

Rowe states that he is receiving lot
of support from his friends. He Is a
property holder i'm the village, and has
resided here many years. Fred j.
Sherman also is making a hard fight,
as are Michael Jaerling and Matt Gipp.

the retiring assessor, Charles Heusa.
There are four known candidates i'm

CIVIC COMMITTEE WILL
Met MONDAY AFTERNOON
Plans for the Equipment for New
Laurium Playground Will
be Considered.
TO PLAN FUTURE ACTIVITY

Arrangements have been made for II
ment committee. and all others who
are interested i'm the movement, To he
held at the Laurium bank hall, Mon
day afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. All who
are anxious to see civic improvements
OF this kind brought about, are urged
to be present and to cooperate with
the committee. complete report Of
the committees work so far Will be
presented and IT is thought that plans
will be outlined for future activity.
One of the subjects to be considered
is the equipment for the new Laurium
playground on Hecla and First streets.
While all the ground work has been
the park must still be fur
nished with suitable playground appli-
ances and provision must be made for
the cultivation of flowers there. About
half of the park ground has been ar
ranged for playground and the re-
mainder will be used as a flower gar
den and beauty spot. The two will be
kept entirely separate and 1t IS
thought that they will be source of
pleasure to young and old alike.
While 1t is not known whether or
not the committee will consider plans
for work on the site of the park which
1t is hoped to secure for Red Jacket
and Calumet generally. II is not likely
that this question will come up. AS
have been received that land
will be provided for the contemplated
park but no grant has been secured
and the committee will doubtless deem
It advisable to wait for something
more definite.

Project to the Voters.

Council May Submit New Fire Hall
Project to the Voters.
At the regular meeting of the Laur-
ium council. next Tuesday evening, 1t
is likely that the question of submit
ting the new fire hall project to the
voters at the regular spring election
will be considered. While there is not
sufficient time to bring this question up
in the proper and legal way at cleo
ton time, II might be possible for the
council to secure an expression OF
opinion informally. which would serve
the purpose giving the trustees an idea
of how the taxpayers feel on the prop
ostion, Unless such action is taken,
IL is not likely that efforts will be
made this year to bring about reali-
cation of the plans for this improve
ment.
The council will likely take action on
the annual report of the village which
will be presented at the meeting. The
report will be the first complete report
of the village affairs under the present
administration.

BIG CROWD TO WITNESS
GREAT WRESTLING MATCH

Promoters OF the Zbyszko-Lehto
wrestling match TO take place at the
Palestra next Tuesday evening assert
that the capacity of that big amuse-
ment Mace will be taxed with the
crowds of sport lovers. Tickets which
have already been disposed of indi-
cate that the house will be a record
breaker. While there are few tickets
left i'm some of the outlying towns OF
the copper country no difficulty is an
ticipated I'm disposing OF them on the
night of the match. as many have de-
layed purchasing until then. All ~
the unsold tickets will be returned
Tuesday afternoon and will be placed
on sale at o'clock in the evening.
on Monday night the Palestra VIII
be closed tight. and carpenters VIII
cover the ice with planks and plat
form in the center. for the big match
Every effort will be made to have the
rink warm and comfortable for the
wrestlers and the fans. The wrestlers
will appear only a few minutes before
the actual contest. and are not likely
to suffer from the cold.
Good preliminaries have been ar
ranged, the most important being
the Cornish wrestling match between
Jack Rowett and VIM. Yauch, which
promises to be almost as interesting
as the main bout. Another prelimin-
ary between young boys will be pro-
vlded.
DIR. John Miller of Calumet VIII act
as referee for the match, and the sup
porters of both men are satisfied that
he will be fair and impartial i'm his de-
cislons. While he undoubtedly has
hard task before him, II is thought that
he will give entire satisfaction.
