ROADS IN GOOD SHAPE.
Calumet Township Board Considers
Minor Improvement Projects.

Members OF the Calumet township
board. following their inspection of
the roads and the various localities in
the township yesterday, express general
satisfaction with the condition of the
roads. With a few exceptions, where
Improvement and repair work is al
ready under way, the roads were found
to be in excellent condition.
A short section of the Lake Shore
road was found to be in need of re-
pair and it is probable the board will
authorize steps to place 1t in first
class condition. Better draining Will
be required and it may be necessary
to shape the road up somewhat with
n road drag. Board members also
look with favor on the plan to build
n short piece of road in the Trap Rock
Valley farm district, which will make
il possible for farmers in that region
to gain a permanent connection with
the main highway. They are now
forced to cross through the farm or
another, practice to which there is
more or less objection, both on the
part of the farmers and the owner OF
the land thus trespassed upon.

BAD VIOLATION
OF GAME LAWS
Warden Macdonald Reports Blast.
Ing of Fish Recently

Deputy Game Warden John T. Mac
Donald of Laurium has returned from
Ontonagon county and while there dis
covered what he claims is the most
the copper country for a number of
years. lie asserts that during the past
TWO weeks some miscreant has blasted
Lake Courtney, one of the prettiest in
land bodies of water in the copper
country district, and killed thousands
OF fish, including black bass as we'll as
perch. Residents of Onionagon are up
in arms against this wholesale destruc-
ton and promise vengeance if the Of
fender can be apprehended. However,
there is no reliable Information obtain
able as 10 who was responsible for the
outrage. The game warden will con-
tiuue his Investigations.
Lake Courtney, according to the dep
uty warden, is a small spring fed lake,
with 40 inlet or outlet, but with water
as clear as crystal and splendid
fishing ground. Several years ago,
black bass fry were planted in its wa
ters and during the last few seasons
there has been excellent bass fishing
there. Perch are also very numerous.
The ideal location Of the lake makes il
very popular camping ground.
When the warden visited Lake
Courtney last week, he found the bank
literally covered with Ash killed by the
dynamite and washed ashore. Among
them were a number of bass. AS the
lake has a hard bottom, Mr.. Macdonald
is of the opinion, one heavy dynamite
explosion was sufficient 10 accomplish
the result and he estimates that fully
nino-tenths of the fish in the lake were
killed.

tivities of the class from freshmen Ia

school song, the first TO be introduced
and sung by n graduating class, was
a delightful feature and was we'll re-
ceived by the large number of alumni
present. The class poem written and
delivered by Miss Ruth Erikson was
a splendid effort, depicting the various
types OF students and tracing the sue
cess OF some and the failure of others.

trial system. His address showed good
thought and was ably delivered.
one of the most pleasing numbers
was a piano solo by Stanislaus Ster-
benz. Mr.. Sterbenz is a young musi-
clan of marked ability and his ability
as a pianist was a subject of much
comment by those present. The pro-
phency, given by William Beck and

optimistic future for the graduates
and interest in it was marked

GOOD PROGRESS MADE

ward In Many Sections

Memphis, Tenn, June 2l.-
Good progress has been made by
the cotton crop during the past
two weeks. Exception to the gen.
eral progress should be noted IN
that part of Arkansas outside of
the St Francis basin, much OF
West Tennessee and some Of the
hills Of Mississippi. In other sec
tions much improvement is sho sn
over conditions that prevailed two
weeks ago.
In Texas and Oklahoma great
headway has been made against
weeds and grass, and while there is
yet much to be done, cultivation
has made such strides that the out,
look for a good yield on that part
of the crop up before the rams is
favora BILE. There IA much cotton
that was planted since the rains
and that Is late. Much acreage,
it is stated, can never be cleaned
out and this will be abandoned.
In Alabama and the Atlantic
states a series of local rains has
broken the drouth and the outlook
is greatly improved as a result.
Old cotton is growing rapidly, is
healthy and is fruiting freely.
Much cotton was not up when the
rains fell. Some Of this il up and
