WILL CELEBRATE
WEEK OF JULY II
TIE TIME OF CENTENNIAL
HOME COMING SELECTED AND
COMMITTEES NAMED
LAST EVENING.

time for the celebration, IL being the
week following the July payday i'm
the mines. This time was agreeable
10 most of those interested, in prefer
ence to having the homecoming at the
time of the mining school quarter-cen-
tennial in August. despite the fact
that President Taft is expected at the
time of the latter. The opinion was
EXPRESSED that If the president does
visit here his stay will be short and
that It is unlikely that he would be
able to devote time to both Houghton
and Hancock on the one day.
The question of financing the cele-
bration was the main subject of dis
cussion and slight snag was en-
countered when one of the members
of the executive committee of five who
had made brief canvass of some of
the local business places. reported that
a number of saloon men refused to
contribute IL the celebration was to
take place at the driving park. This
aroused considerable Indignation and
ii was determined to go ahead and
make the celebration a success with
the aid of other business men of this
city. In the interval between now and
two weeks from last evening, when
mother meeting is to be held at the
city hall, the financial aspect will be
thoroughly canvassed and upon the re-
suits reported the arrangements of

cock will have it's "Adit" leading to
treasures gathered together for the en-
tertainment of the thousands of Wis
