STADIUM MAY
BE TOO SMALL
IMMENSE THRoNes ARE EXPECT
ED IN STOCKHOLM WHEN
OLYMPIC GAMES TAKE
PLACE IN JULY.

Stockholm. sweden, April 23.-The
committee that has in hand the ar
rangements for the Olympic games,
which are to open here on June 20,
is beginning to wonder whether after
all, the stadium will be large enough
To accommodate all those Wishing to at
tend.
The stadium is splendidly and con-
veniently located. being within Is
minutes walk of the center of the
city and has a good service OF street
cars to the gates. AS the building is
intended to bc permanent il has been
seriously treated. 1t is of brick and
gray granite and very simple in or
namentation The architect Mr.. Tor
ben Grut. says the building is an or
ganic development OF medieval Swedish
architecture. II cost $3.50. 900.
The building is now practically
completed. All but a few of the
seats are in place With the exccp-
ton OF those i'm the immediate front
rows. all are rooted i'm. The eras-
in the arena is coming up nicely and
the cinder path is in good condition
although IL continues To DE worked
carefully and continuously each day,
Every thing should he in perfect order
on the opening day
Naturally the management is hav-
ing some difficulties. Thus far the
chief complaint comes from the French
and English fencers. who complain of
the rules drawn up for the government
of the contests In their art. while the
difficulties with which the British
oily mpic council is beset are having
their effect here.
The Swedish athletes expect TO
spring n few surprises ON their visl
tors. An American trainer has been
engaged and very thorough work is
being done to prepare the men for
the contests.

Carl is n fine big fellow. and has

he would never make good. Certainly
he has had many opportunities to- prove
he had the "makin's" of a champion.
and has fallen short Of the mark by a
great deal
1t is the opinion that Morris has
been very badly trained. He has been
given an overdose of IT, II man ever

is a great deal worse than too little
and especially when it's application is
misdirectcd. Ignorance of proper

LAURIUM
NO EXTENSIVE
imp ROY[MENTS
LAURiuM COUNCIL TO CONSlDER
WORK FOR THIS SEASON AT
NEXT REGULAR MEETING

At the next regular meeting Of the
Laurium council one of the most inn
portant matters To be taken up is that
of improvements to be undertaken this
year. II is probable that Immediately
before or Immediately after the meet
ing the trustees will devote an after
noon to visiting various parts of the
town, to see what improvements are
necessary Immediately and what can
be done without,
1t is certain that no extensive work
win be undertaken this year as the
revenue of the village. none too large
at any tmic. has been greatly reduced
by the fewer saloon licenses granted.
Probable the first work to be taken up
is the completion of the improvements
on First street about two blocks OF
which remain to be graded ana rolled.
There is now plenty of rock available
it is expected il viii require but few
weeks To complete the work. After
First street Is completed. ii is expect
ed the improvements will be confined
entirely TO sidewalks.
Street Commissioner Wills has al
ready started the annual clean up. Work
so far has been confined largely TO the
streets and the ashes but as soon as
conditions permit II will be extended
TO the alleys. BY May 10, the cleanup
day designated by Governor Osborn i'm
his recent proclamation. IL Is expected
the streets will be in ne condition.
President Wills i'm discussing the gov
ernors proclamation yesterday, stated
that Il is impossible to cleanup the
streets of village. as large as Laurium
In single day. He stated however
that as soon as the streets and alleys
are cleaned. the residents who have
not cleaned their premises will be urg-
ed to do so at the earliest possible
date.
The council probably will meet on
Friday afternoon for the purpose OF
acting on the bonds of the remaining
liquor dealers whose applications were
approved at a recent meeting. Sew
eral bonds have already been approved
but by this meeting IL is expected that

GAME LAW VIOLATION.
Game Warden Mac Donald Says
Streams Are Recedinq Rapidly.

Deputy Game Warden John II. Mac
Donald OF Laurium has arrived home
from Mass City where he secured evil
dence of game law violation which
led to the conviction yesterday OF
Charles Burgess on the charge OF
shooting deer out of season, near the
Ontonagon river. a fine of $25 and
costs amounting to S20.05 were levied
and paid. BY a peculiar coincidence,
Burgess had been subpoenaed as a
witness against another man suspect
ed of having been the real offender In
the case. but when all of the evidence
was presented and the real situation
learned, the charge was changed. Bur
CESS pied guilty.
Mr. Macdonald reports that the snow
has almost entirely disappeared from
the woods i'm Ontonagon county ana
that the streams are much lower than
usual at this time of the year, SO low
in fact that the Norton Lumber COM
pany was unable To conduct the log
drive proposed on the Ontonagon riv-
er this spring 1t was also impossible
Ia drive logs on the Huron river. Mr..
Macdonald does not believe the fish
ermen will experience any difficulty in
reaching the streams this year and
believes that the water will be low
enough to permit good fishing when
the season opens on May /.
