PROPOSED
new BALL LEAGUE
COPPER COUNTRY FANS WILLING
TO JOIN HANDS WITH THOSE
OF THE IRON coUN-
TRY.

Apparently the prospects of closer
baseball relations between the copper
country and iron country for 1912 arc
growing brighter The Withdrawal OF
the Escanaba team from the Mar
ouette and Delta County league yes
terday, makes Il necessary for the iron
country to look for new territory into
which To expand and the organization
of a Copper Iron Country league with
three teams from the iron country
Marquette, Negaunee and lshpeming'
and one team from the copper country,
either from the Portage Lake towns
Calumet, or Mohawk, is now looked
upon as a certainty.
Manager Horbins, who is familiar
! with the local situation, recently stated
that Calumet would await the deci-
sion of the Portage Lake fans, rela-
tive To entry into the new league, but
that II favorable action is not taken
Calumet would be willing TO enter a
team in the league. Mohawk is also
DESTROYS of securing admission and
there is little doubt that at least one
team will make an effort 10 enter.
Calumet fans look with favor on the
proposal to organize n copper-iron
country league. Last year games with
the iron country teams were greatly
desired but could not he arranged. II
is generally conceded that better base
ball would result, from the new league.
xpfI
make the proposed circuit more COM
pact and feasible is the fact that the
South shore road intends to establish
n better service throughout the upper
peninsula this summer.
Concerning the proposed league the
Mining Journal says:
There are numerous arguments TO be
given in favor OF an arrangement with
the copper country. and there can be
no doubt that IL will be as much or a
success financially as a league with
Escanaba. There is n certain amount
Of rivalry between the two sections
which would tend to swell the gate re-
GENTS. The copper country no doubt
will not send outside for players, but
II has enough material at home TO or
ganize an exceptionally strong team.
The copper country is anxious TO
corm a league with the iron country
teams. Several Marquette fans have
heen under the impression that the
copper country wants tive-team lea
cue, but the interviews given out by
the managers of the various teams
there do not hint at any such ar
| rangement. All the Marquette county
teams would have to do to organize
league would be TO send representa-
tive To the copper country to arrang
the details, and no plausible excus
can be given for any delay in thi
matter IL il is the desire OF the lrol
country TO have baseball this season

the Association of Commerce,
spoke before the Electrical Club
yesterday. Among other things,
he said:
The reason a man cannot af-
ford to stay at home in the even
ings is that he is needed else
where. It is his duty to go out
and look after the affairs of gov
ernment-to make himself &C
quainted with the needs of his
city and his state.
"You business men need to go
out and enter the forum and kill
off the demagogue who appeals to
the peoples prejudice. You need
to know and discuss such ques-
tions as the workmen's compen-
sation and employers liability
acts.
''The great contest in lifeis be-
tween labor and capital. The
laboring classes have been dis
cussing the questions involved in
this contest. They have been de-
veloping able speakers. They
know more than you do about
some of the economic questions
which affect your business.
"All of this means that we have
got to take care of these people,
to give them vocational education
and to eliminate the terrible hous-
ing conditions"
There is not much use in saying
anything about most of this. But,
on behalf of the plain people of

time to keep all dogs running at

HEALTH BOARD REPORT.
To the Hon. Mayor and Council,

To the Hon. Mayor and Council,
City Of Virginia, Ai'r,l l. 1912.
Gentlemen:
In submitting herewith my annual
report the City is to be congratulated
on the record shown for the past
twelve months. The death rate has
been comparatively low al..l the num-
Der of contagious and infectious dis
eases prevalent away below the av-
erage. The vital statistics for the
year ending March 31st, 1912, are as
Follows: Births 443, deaths 176. OF
the latter the causes were as follows:
Intestinal diseases of children 80,
heart disease IA, nephritis 3, dia-
Oetes 2, cerebral hemorrhage and
embolism 6, pneumonia 16, (adults
), children ID, infantile paralysis
3, carcinoma 2, intestinal obstruc-
titn 2, gastrl: ulce: !, Appendicitis
|, pulmonary tuberculosis s, violent
deaths, including accidents at mines
and lumber camps 81, still-born "a,
miscellaneous causes 20.
Taking into consideration the out
side cases the death rate for the city
proper has been very low. l am
glad to report that typhoid fever has
been practically stamped out, six
cases only having been reported with
cut one death. This speaks we'll for
our water supply and general clean
illness of the city. OF the deaths
from pulmonary tuberculosis the
greater number were people who
came here already in last stages of
the disease. The city has been re-
markably free from contagious dis
eases, the to:al hummer bei::r linz
tied to Is, namely, 10 cases Of scar
let fever, Of diptheria and OF
