BUSINESS men
FAVOR TOURNEY
LITTLE DOUBT THAT RED JACKET
WILL BE IN FIELD TO EN-
TERRAIN FIREMEN
IN 1912.

During the last few weeks members
OF the Red Jacket fire department have
interviewed number of the business
men relative To the matter of inviting
the Upper Peninsula Fremen's assoc
lciation TO meet i'm this city i'm 1912. 1t
is said that the sentiment is found To
be almost unanimous i'm favor of Sc
curing the tournament for Red Jacket.
The matter will be given further con-
sideration at the regular meeting of
the fire department next week
The belief is expressed that the
tournament could be conducted on a
strictly business basis and made q big
/ success. Laurium's experience i'm this
direction few years ago having
proved that this is entirely possible
Red Jackets well known reputation for
hospitality viii probably help the del
egates from this city in their effort to
land the big event.
At the next meeting Of the fire de-
partment. the question OF sending
running team to the tournament at
Bessemer this year will also be con-
sidered.
1t is not likely that Red Jacket will
arrange a Fourth of July celebration
this year, for while the matter has not
been formally considered so far il is
generally conceded that the business
men of Red Jacket will cooperate with
the midsummer carnival which is be-
ing planned for Laurium that week.
This Years Tournament.
The annual tournament of the Upper
Peninsula Firemen's association will
be held at Bessemer the latter part
of the summer and the people of the
Gogebic iron range city already are
to make the event the big
gest reunion of the kind I'm the history
of the flame fighters organization. |
Aside from the funds raised by the
department and the money subscribed |
by the citizens i'm general, the common !
council has appropriated 81, 800 TO help |
the firemen. The tourna- (
ment will take place the latter part of
July or the first part of August. 1t |
VIII attract To the Gogebic county seat /
thousands Of people from all portions |
Of upper Michigan
meeting of the executive commit
tee of the flremens association will be
held at Bessemer a week from Satur-
day To arrange the race program. 1t
Is probable that the dates OF the tour
ney viii be set at that time.

Yesterdays EXCURSION
RATES MAY BE The LAST

prominent Calumet railroad man
this morning expressed the opinion
that the excursion rates on the Cop
per Range between Calumet and
Houghton on the occasion of the ded-
ication OF the odd Fellows temple
building yesterday will be the last Of
fered by the railroads operating in
the copper country for some time.
If the two cent fare bill passed by
both houses of the legislature receives
the governors signature and becomes
a law. IL will be impossible for the
railroads to grant special rates" he
said. The railroads are already max
ing plans for curtalling operating ex-

and FARMING
The American Farmer Instead OF la
borer Is Now Being Appealed
To BY Corporations.

Our corporation friends have turned
their attention from the American Id
.borer to the American farmer. They
tell him that reciprocity is bad lot the
farmer. The Canadian reciprocity
agreement will hit only these VINO are
now and have been for NUMBER oi
years past cornering the necessltles
of life and regulating the cost thereof
not by the law of supply and demand,
but by the height of the tariff wall
Every effort at a reform OF the Cd
noxious and unjust tariff regulations
heretofore maintained by the high
protectionists has been met by the
cry that any tariff reduction would
serve to bring the American laborer
into competition with the so-cailed
pauper labor of Europe. That cry sue
cessfully served the purpose of fright
ening American workingmen and FOR
years the tariff barrier has been re-
tanned for the exclusive benefit OF the
corporate campaign contributors and
their associated industries.
The appeal to workingmen is ended
Having discovered that they were be-
ing continually deceived and cheated
the American consumer finally woke
UP, and the result of last November's
election tells its own story on the
tariff problem. Now that the reel
procity agreement promises to open
the doors to the raw materials and
food stuffs of Canada, and to extend
our markets in the Dominion, the
monopolists and stand-patters are
seeking to array the farmers Of the
West against the proposed agreement
on the theory that it will serve to in
jure the American farmer by putting
his goods in competition with the Ca
madam product, OF course, as in the
case of the American laborer, the pur
pose of this sudden and unusual inter
est in the farmer is more imaginary
than real. If the farmer would TAKE

Meridian, Miss, June S.-The avia-
