]. ABNER CREBASSA
DIED SATURDAY.

One of the greatest shocks the peo-
pie of L'Anse have ever had was Civ
en- to them last Saturday evening,
when it was learned that j. Abner
Crebassa, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S.
Crebassa, had passed away at the
Calumet public hospital, after short
illness, from a complication Of dis
eases.
Although Mr.. Crebassa had been
ailing a little for the past few
months, matters were not serious and
his sudden taking was unexpected.
The young man, who was serving
his fourth year as prosecuting attor-
ney of Keweenaw county, had spent
Thursday at Eagle River, and return
ing complained of being tired. He
took to his bed Immediately and on
Saturday was taken to the hospital,
passing away the same evening.
Abner, as we like to call him thru
our very intimate friendship with
him, was &c years of age, being born
in L'Anse October 6,1892. He was
raised here and in 1911 graduated
from the local high school, He then
left for Detroit, where he took a
three year law course at the Universi-
ty of Detroit and graduating in June
of 1914. On the 10th of ember,
1914, he was married to Miss Anna
King, of Detroit, and she, with Abb
ner's father, mother and brother, Nef-
son, are left to mourn his demise.
Mr.. Crebassa was young man
who had a very promising and rosy
future before him and the very least
we would have wanted was to sec him
live longer to show what mark he
could have made in this world, rs
L'Anse had q great deal of faith in
his ability. But this case shows that
mortal life is very uncertain prop
osition, and Baragg county and those
of the copper country who knew him
grieve with the relatives atsGlr. Creb-
assa's sudden passing.
The deceased was a member CT the
Calumet lodge of Elks, and the Calu-
met council, Knights of Columbus.
The remains We're brought to
L'Anse, funeral services being held at
Sacred Heart church Wednesday
morning at ten o'clock, Rev. Ding
fielder officiating, interment being in
the LAnse cemetery.

TO BUILD new WALK
ON BROAD ST. HILL.

State Highway Commissioner Rog-
srs was in L'Anse Monday and Tues
day and settled several important
matters with the village council in
connection with the new road running
through Broad street.
II has been decided to build con-
crete curbing along both sides Of the
road on the hill, and from the rail-
road track to the top Of the hill con-
crete walks will be built on both sides
of the road next to the curbing. The
railroad track will also be raised a
foot at the street TO give more of q
gradual slope to this part of the high
way. The alleyway on both sides Of
the road near the Frenette home will
be opened up by the state, although
this will necessitate a deep cut in the
side Of the main highway. The main
water pipe will also be lowered by the
village forces, although the state
will foot the bill.
Messrs. Smith and Sparks, who
have charge of the construction of
our section of the road, stated Tues
day that they expect to get at the
concrete work in both L'Anse and
Baraga in a few weeks and once the
work is started it will be rushed
through to completion. The concrete
retaining wall at the Red Rocks at the
head of the bay will be built first,
however.
The village council plans on having
the whole square at the bank corner
filed in with concrete.

BUYS MCKINLEY HOTEL.

T. W. Berry last week purchased
the Mckinley Hotel property in Bar
aga from the Rubicon Lumber Com
pany. The property covers 100 feet
on Superior avenue, running from
Hands confectionery store to the
residence now occupied by F. M. En-
mis-. 1t is located in the heart Of the
business district Of Baraga and a
very valuable piece of real estate.
Mr.. Berry will tear down the south
end of the hotel and erect a cottage
on the land made vacant. He hopes
to interest some hustling hotel man
and have the Mckinley Hotel re-op-
ened with more modern and up-to-
date facilities.
This old hostelry has been famous
for years for its service and with the
extra demand on labor in the village
Baraga can support the place when
re-opened very handily.

substitute beans, fresh pork, bacon.
hams and sausages for beef products.
You arc not to serve beef more
than four times weekly. Roast beef
may be served only on Monday at
midday meal;stewed, boiled or beef
hash only On Wednesday and Satur-

Thursday only at midday meal. By
products of beef, such as oxtails, lv-
ers, tongues, sweetbreads, hearts,
kidneys, brains and tripe, may lie
served at any time.
In view of the necessity for this
