CONSTRUCTION RUM0Rs.
,Tis Said that Winston Bros. Have
Work In This Vicinity.

Persistent rumors are anoat that
the winston Bros. will ship six teams
here in a very few days and that the
teams will be put az work on con-
struction work In this vicinity. No
one about Alpha seems to know much
about this matter although one OF the
winston Bros foremen was here last
Saturday making arrangements.
One OF the stories is that new
track will be graded into the Balkan
mine. Another story has IL that the
Winston Bros. have the building OF
the new spur track from the st. Paul
road at the Carpenter to the Monon-
gahela mine shaft or rather to the
place where the shaft is TO be.
There Is rumor also that the
North Western has grown tired OF
trying to get right-of-way for its ex-
tension 10 Crystal Falls by way OF the
Dunn mine and that the line which
was surveyed across from the main
line TO the Dunn line. cutting through
the notch in the range OF hills to the
east about where the county road
runs at the present time will be used.
At any rate some construction work
Is TO be done i'm this vicinity this
spring unless the present strike talk
scares the notion out Of the heads OF
those responsible for the work.

people who still cling TO the idea that
a straw hat is out OF place before
Easter. grows less and less daily. In
fact, the tables are entirely turned.
and II Is hard 70 believe that the out
of-place hats are those bright, spring
like creations all a-bloom with flow
ers, and not those of darker hues and
heavier materials.
Even as early as this, hats OF satin
or satin and straw are giving place to
those OF all straw. Crepe and straw
combinations are very good style.
Sometimes the crepe is used for the
crowns OF the small high-crowned
turbans with a little straw around the
narrow brims. or else II Is used for the
brims OF the wide sailors which have
crowns OF straw.
Very high crowned and almost
brimless are some OF the most popular
shapes, but the picturesque, wide
brimmed styles and fancy shapes are
also being worn.
Hats are not heavily trimmed this
season. A beaded ornament, or flow
ers worked in worsted or chenille.
and placed in front. often take all the
responsibility OF trimming. Feather
fancies and narrow velvet or picot-
edged ribbon arranged around the
crown with studied careiessness are
other simple forms OF trimming. Very
frequently one sees the Chinese hats,
round in shape and sloping down
gradually from a point at the top.

BASE BALL FANS PLAN BANQUET.
VIII Give an Entertainment Mt Dodero
Theatre TO Help Along the Game.

The base ball fans OF Alpha are
awakening. Already there is talk OF
a club for next year and the boys are
looking around to seek means OF n
nancing a team here to maintain the
name OF Alpha on the base ball neid.
There has been some base ball talk
in other parts OF the county and some
OF the wise ones say that there Is go
ing TO be league in the county. III
there is Alpha will make bid for
admission into that league and II Is
proposed TO be in shape TO show the
other towns OF the county that Alpha
can not only play base ball but Il can
support base ball club.
Dave Mendelson managed the team
here last year and proved to all that
he can manage a team. There isn't
a bigger or better base ball fan in the
nation than Dave is and when he UNI
dertakes TO handle a team he gives
Il a whole-soled enthusiasm that gets
support from all sides.
Mr.. Mendelson has already taken
the initiative In an effort to furnish
Alpha with base ball and has induced
the Commercial Club TO give 1t loyal
support. The club has taken up the
matter OF getting behind and pushing
with the result that big benefit has
been planned.
This benefit show will be pulled on
in the Dodero theatre on Monday
evening. April 2. The affair will be
musical and will be given mainly by
local talent. Those who have volun-
teered to take hold and help out with
the program are; Miss Lucy Wright,
Miss Judith, DR.. Edwards. Mr.. Will
liams, Mr.. Day, Mr.. Sampson and Mr..
Har, Mrs. Bracegirdle and Mrs.
Wright.
Interspersed with the home talent
attraction will be FIVE reel film OF
moving pictures which alone will be
worth the price.
This first benefit will be followed
on April 4 by big Easter dance. The
boys are working hard to make this
dance the biggest thing pulled of In
Alpha in long time. Tickets to this
affair will be on sale several days be-
fore the dance comes off and it is to
be hoped that everyone who wants a
base ball team in Alpha will buy a
ticket whether the ticket is used or
not.
The prospects are good for win
ming team i'm Alpha. Six OF the old
team are now in Alpha and will be
seen in uniform again next year. They
are Williams, Murphy, Day, Pultz,
Cambray and Peterson. The man
agement knows where additional men
10 round out the team can be secured
and II there is prospects of league
being formed these other men will be
forthcoming. They are good men, too.
The outlook for an Iron county
league is good The talk heard most
ly Is for a league composed OF Iron
county towns. With Iron River and
Stambaugh both having teams and
Crystal Falls and Alpha also having
team each the entire population Of
the Crystal Falls and Iron River dis
tricts could be given entertainment
each week as there would be game
on each side OF the county each week
With each town pulling for It's own
team to win. there would arise a
competition that will be hard to beat
Alpha would like TO hear from
Crystal Falls and the west side on
this question.

Brennan Ahead
In Knockouts

Bill Brennan, "the Irish heavyweight
champion" holds the worlds knockout
record in the heavyweight division,
past and present. Statistics prove that
Brennan's record Of forty-one knock
outs has never been eQualled in the
heavyweight class.
Fitzsimmons, in ten years, from 1894
TO 1904, scored eleven knockouts. Or
the other hand. he was himself knocked
out five times--twice by Jeffries, once
by Bill Lang, Jack 0'Brien and Jack
Johnson and during his entire career
scored but thirty-six knockouts oEt Of
sixty-three battles.
James J. Jeffries met with but one
Knockout during his career inside the
ropes. Jack Johnson dropped JEFF of
at Reno, and Jef's seconds jumped
into the ring. and under the rules of
the prize ring Jefries was knocked
out. From 1896 70 1910 Jeffries
knocked out twelve opponents, includ-
ing all the great heayyweights OF his
day.
