AUTOMOBILE MEN EXPECT
TO SELL MANY NEW CARS

Since the close of the Detroit and
Chicago automobile shows, local rep
resentatives of some of the big motor
car companies have grown very opti-
nistic and predict that no less than
thirty-five or forty new cars will be
seen upon the streets of Calumet this
summer. Dealers report that the new
1910 models have made a very good
impression upon prospective buyers
and that many who have been half
hearted are becoming enthusiastic
The fact that the slump in the mar
ket value of copper stock securities
has apparently run its course may
also influence some prospective buy
ers this year.
Calumet dealers have probably dis
posed of at least twenty-five new cars
already and it is likely that they will
sell many more before the arrival of
spring.
Every automobile garage in Calumet
is busy this month with repair work,
and this business will probably in
crease materially between now and
spring.
The suggestion which comes from
the iron country that efforts be made
TO secure a highway connecting the
two districts of upper Michigan meets
with favor among the auto owners of
Calumet For years this project has
been asitated without success, but the
feeling prevails that a concerted move
ment would bring about the desired
results this summer. BY the con-
struction of a road about thirty miles
in length through Baraga and Mar
quette counties, 1t would be possible
for automobile owners to drive into
the copper country from the lower
part of the state and from Wisconsin,
or would permit local enthusiasts to
visit other sections with their ma
chimes. 1t is thought that If the pro-
per influences were brought to bear
that the state might aid i'm the realiza-
tion Of this project.

HEADED BY The GREAT
"EDIS0N" FEATURE FILM
"A Japanese
Peach B0y'
WITH
Mile. Pi|ar-MOrin

Mile Pillar NORM, the celebrated
French pantomimist, who is under n
years contract with the Edison Man
ufacturing Co, and whose great film,
COMEDY and Tragedy" which lately
appeared at the Royal, will long be re-
membered as the most notable film of
the past year appears in the Japan
csc Peach Boy" a fairy story founded
on an old Japanese legend, which was
put into pictorial form by Mile. NORM
herself In this picture Mile. NORM
appears as two characters. assuming
first the role of the mother and later
on the grown-up son. The story Is
very interesting and is as well known
i'm Japan as "Puss i'm Boots" and Gin
derella" are known in this country.
While the story is of much different
order from COMEDY and Tragedy"
in which she made her first appear
ance, the Japanese Peach Boy" gives
Mile. NORM every opportunity for the
display of her wonderful art. The
japanese Peach Boy" is n beautiful
fairy story showing numerous scenes
of wondrous beauty and many strange
transformations, each more marvellous
than the previous one, and each an
other chapter in the adventures of the
baby who was discovered in a peach.
1t is one of the most attractive pic
lures of this sort ever produced. 1t
would be difficult to conceive anything
more beautiful than the interior of the
cavern, nor would it be possible to
produce anything more attractive than
the final transformation scene, where
the humble cottage is changed into a
glittering palace hung with Japanese
lanterns through the door of which is
seen a lake with swans upon its sur
face, while dancing Geisha girls ap-
pear in mystic figures of the Japanese
dance and suddenly disappear into the
air. This transformation scene is
beautiful beyond description. This
picture is one of the most elaborate
productions that the Edison company
has yet put out. and the great artist
Mile. NORM who plays the role of the
little Japanese mother, and later of the
bo. finds herself surrounded by beau
tiful scenic vesture and effects.

mestics are To be Americanized first
why, there is an endless demand for
this on both sides, on the part of those
who need the work as well as the peo-
pie who need workers. and the de-
mand is from both sides Of the ocean;
those who want TO come could be pre-
pared for places of actual usefulness.
Then this domestic science work would
cover the training OF cooks, laundress-
es. chambermaids, second girls, and
seamstresses. Then comes the train
ing of maids, ladies' maids and nurse
maids; To properly train these two
classes of people nursing would have
to be introduced, that it, simple, sensi-
BILE methods of caring for a sick baby
in such a way as to prevent its being
sick, and simple. sensible methods of
caring for a sick woman. a knowledge
of what To do for her when she is not
sick enough to need the attendance of
a professional trained nurse. From
these two classes of course there
would be culled some people who would
want to go on from that school to one
of the many already established train
ing schools for nurses. II does not
seem to me (because there are already
so many training schools I'm connec-
ton with sanitariums and hospitals) il
would be wise to attempt to establish
a regular training school for nurses,
but the time is ripe for the establish
ment of a school for nurse maids;
many Of these foreign girls would be
especially eligible to this because Of
their command of another language
than our own, many people counting 1t
the part Of wisdom TO teach the little
child just learning to speak English,
some other language at the same time
that he is getting his mother tongue"

TOWN HALL RENTALS.
laurium Village Has Received But q
Small Remuneration,

A concrete illustration of the need
In the fact that the entire rentals for
the town hall during 1909 did not ex-
coed $73. OF this amount only s3S has
been collected, this latter amount rep
resenting the gross receipts during the
past year. When IL is stated that the
combination town and fire hall repre-
sents an investment of approximately
$4,000, IL will be seen that the village
is receiving very poor interest on it's
money. Estimating the total valua-
ton of the town hall and fixtures at
$4,000, for which amount they are
rated among the assets of the village,
II may be safely stated that the hall
proper and fixtures, including seem
cry, are worth at least $4,000. on
this basis II will be seen that the re-
turn upon the investment Is less than
l per cent.
The principal objection TO the use
of the town hall for social parties and
dances is the fact that the village
stables are located directly beneath II.
This fact has long been recognized by
the members OF the council, who.
through lack OF funds have been un-
able to correct the difficulty.
IL Is possible that the present coun-
ell will ask that the matter be voted
upon by the tax payers OF the town
at the regular spring election. AL
though the town is practically with
out funds. IL is felt that this i'm
provement cannot be much longer de-
hyed. and II the tax payers approve
the plans. steps could be taken to

IARP GAIN
 K COTTON PRICES Tie IlNsr pol Market Is Much --.s.4e. Than Expected SUPPLIES ARE SMALL Bulls Do Not Buy Heavily But Are Con- tent to Take Profts-The Market Closes at Good Advance
 for the Day

New Orleans, October 12.-Cotton fu- lures opened firm at an advance of 16 to 19 points on much higher Liverpool market than expected. In the early trad ing the market was active and excited with shorts covering in confusion Bulls bought very little cotton but were con- tent to take profits for the most part. Offerings came almost wholly from this source. Private cablegrams did not say much in explanation of the advance in kthe English market, except that supplies of both cotton and cotton goods were .small and the demand improving. The weather map was more favorable than otherwise but had no influence. Little rain was reported and temperatures were reasonable. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were 19 to 21 points up.
 Private dispatches from New York and also from England stating that it seemed almost certain that the bills of lading question would be settled shortly in a manner satisfactory to all interests stimulated buying again around the mid dle of the morning, when the market showed signs of hating in it's advance and the most active positions were put 23 to 26 points over yesterdays final quo- I. .tations. Galveston's large exports and heavy receipts at both Galveston and Houston which pointed to more large shipments in few days, were among the bulish features of the news To- ward noon profit-taking by longs in- creased and at noon prices were 3 to 5 points down from the highest and 20 to 23 points over yesterdays close. e
 In the afternoon session profit-taking by longs increased and prices fell off under it. At o'clock the trading months were 15 points down from the highest of tthe day and from to Il points over yes- terday's close.
 The close was firm, F to 16 points up.
