INTEREST INCREASESA AS 4 8
RACE MEETING PROGRESSES

though the frequent weeping of the
heavens compelled the crowd to seek
hasty shelter many times.
With the increased attendance, play
in the ring naturally picked up but not
much to the benefit of the layers, for
the talent proved adept in picking the
winners and three of the five favor
ties were successful which caused the
books to pay out probably more than
they kept.
With the baby race out Of the way,
interest conferred on the closing NUM-
Der as the feature but there was
plenty doing in the four proceeding
events to keep the crowd amused.
Starting OF with the first race OF the
day. the talent went strong for
Cheeky. backing the favorite steadi-
Iy at even money. A number deemed
Eventide capable OF repeating but the
wise coin went for the Bagley FLY

easy winner with Eventide in the sec
ond hole.
Encouraged by their success in the
opening affair they went to Lucetta

though the favorite did land out of
the money. Carew in the fifth look
ed like a cinch to the players, the
steady hammering at the old cam

Last One the Best.
The best race of the meeting took
place in the closing number, when
Shawnee, St Dunstan and Chess, the
latter the choice, fought it out hard
in the final sixteenth to end up with
a nose finish, Shawnee getting the
call while the favorite, Chess, only
lasted for the show end.
The opening dash proved of much
benefit to the pale students of the
dope for Cheeky, steadily played at
even money, was an easy victor, max
ing every pole a winning one TO
score easily by a length and a half.
Eventide, a close second choice to the
winner. was a determined pursuer the
entire trip and hung on gamely in
the closing drive but was not good
enough to overtake the flying leader.

The worlds prosperity and its rapid In
crease in population are. of course. the chief
causes Of the extinction Of fur. As recently
as ten years ago the people of the United
States we're not counted among the great
buyers OF fur. Now the majority Of women
among ninety million people are purchasers
OF fur OF one kind another. Five years
ago London was the worlds greatest fur CEN

enormous has the demand for fur become In
this country well across the sea, tnat
there are over 5000 establishments for the
treatment of fine furs and the making OF fur
garments in New York City alone.
London and Paris have now taken second
and third places In the actual making of fur
garments though London handles more raw
fur than the other two combined. Last year
the value of New York's finished" output was
nearly 500 900 600 and fully sixty per cent.
of this was represented by the furs which

less.

This passing of the old romance OF fur Is

were taken last year. and relentless was
the slaughter on account Of the princely sums

during the season. chiefly of starvation be-

Matter May Be Brought Before Up
per Peninsula Sportsmen.

Ping" Foster. who has been i'm the
woods for some time investigating
depredations on the hunting camps and
lodges OF Local sportsmen. attributes
these depredations TO the desire OF
the trappers To keep the hunters out
OF the woods. He suspects that the
trappers have been trapping beaver
and that so long as the hunters re-
main out OF the woods during the win
ter season. there is but little danger
of detection. according TO Foster. Sew
eral camps owned by Houghton hunt
ers have been burned down Of late
and others have been entered and ar
ticles of value removed. Several in
stances have been noted where game
was stolen and i'm some instances the
hunters have lost rifles and other val
liable articles. Conditions have be-
come such that hunters invariably re-
move the stoves and windows from
their camps each fall TO prevent
them from being stolen.
1t is probable that the matter will
be taken up at the meeting of the
Upper Peninsula Sportsmens associa-
ton at Marquette next Tuesday and
that some means win be found to coun-
teract this work of vandalism.

positive action was taken only in a
few instances.
County Road Engineer Martin ap-
peared before the council and suggest
ed the construction of a road between
south and Edwards streets, west OF

road would form a part Of the pro-
posed county road between Houghton

will on Monday, in company with En-
gineer Martin, inspect the proposed
route.
Attorney Joseph Hambitzer called at
teution To the fact that the ordinances

Hambitzer and Clerk O'Sullivan.

The chief of police was instructed
that ne must not permit minors to
frequent saloons during keno raffles

+. w. Nichols, agent Of the South
Side Mining company reminded the
council of the fact that the village is
using 81 acres of land for water sup
ply purposes which belongs to that
company, and suggested that he would
recommend that the company grant

acre.
