COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING
A new PLAYGROUND SITE
YOTTi LEASE TO BE RENEWED
IF NO OTHER PROPERTY
is OBTAlNABlE.

The renewal of the lease on the Yot-
ii property at First and Hecla streets.
the location of the Laurium play
ground, will be the principal subject
to be discussed at the forthcoming
meeting Of the council. While no def
mite action toward this end is antici-
pated, overtures likely will be made
To the owners OF the property To grant
renewal in the event that the board
determines to occupy the plot as a
playground. The lease expired several
months ago, but as there is no imme-
date prospect Of the property chang
ing ownership, the council is not par
ticularly obliged TO exercise it's option
early.
Meanwhile. the idea of securing a
larger ground will be considered and if
possible, tract of land situated east
of the Palestra will be secured. This
is more desirable for the purpose, re-
moved from the streets and business
houses and better situated in every
way to accommodate a thousand chill
dren at one time. It's proximity to the
big rink is favorable and if it is pos
sible. the tract either will be purchas-
ed or leased.
At any rate members of the board
are determined that the playground is
a permanent institution and with that
in view, either of the above mentioned
sites will be secured.

A BIG SUCCESS.

From the time the curtain goes up

feet sympathy between the players
and the spectators is noticeable. Moth

fails to elicit laugh, and Mary Jane
Jenkins" cCorinne") who is really
the heroine of the play. touches the
heart strings at the same time hand
ing out laugh.
There is plenty of fun all through
the play. There is genuine humor in
the contempt in which the New York
ers hold New Rochelle, which is char
acterized by them as Jay town."
though II is only forty-flve minutes
from Broadway" as Kid Burns says.
With Mary Jane, Kid Burns is the
foremost character in the play Burns
is n real tough one" from the Bow
cry, who has been employed as secre-
tary to q young, newly become, mil
lionaire. His part contains really fun
ny lines, and Bernard Riggs takes
advantage of them to the utmost.
But the play is not entirely COM
edy. In fact, in some parts 1t might
be called melo-dramatic, and the
splendid acting of the entire company
makes the story convincing. Mary
Jane also has a number of excellent
lines and situations not one of which
fails to get over when handled by
"Corinne" with her plaintive voice and
pathetic manner.
Besides all this the piece contains
some very goodd music, "Forty-Ffve

by the way is rated one of the best

already assured. Although Laurium
lodge is the only copper country
branch which has withdrawn from the
Upper Peninsula league and so far as

gued the Copper Country league would

REPUBLICANS WILL WAGE
 STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN

The nature of the campaign to be conducted by the State Democratic Central Committee in the Congress sional and Senatorial elections, which take place in November, is yet to be determined. The Republicans state they will wage a strenuous campaign and many speaking dates have al ready been arranged. Lack of funds is hampering the Democratic commit tee, and it is stated that none of the candidates in the November election have contributed to the cause, which may prevent any assistance being ren- dered to them. Harry Meyers, the Republican candidate for Senator, stated Wednesday that he intended reaching every section of the state prior to the election.
