Now thatthererare- so many unemployed men needing work. It would be :tho best form of charity for the various municipalities in the Calumet region to have all of the street improvements done at the present time. The cities of this region are growing fast that there Is probably not a section of the country in the world where there are so many streets being laid and where there is so much work to bo done in the future. These improvements, are usually paid for in ten annual installments, and It would not work a hardship on the property owners to have the improvrnent made Immediately. There is an added advantage in that labor can be secured for a much lower figure now than would have been the case six months ago. Contractors say that where a laborer would tell them to go to warmer climate if they were , offered work at $2 a day a while ago, they are now willing to work for $1.50 and many of them would be glad to get a job at $1.25. A saving of 25 to 50 cents a day on each laborer's salary would mean a. big saving when figured on the price of a- Job and the property owners can well afford to have their streets paved now than to wait until times pick up. In fact there Is every reason for having work of a public character done now and wltli the exception of a few property owners, who would probably enter an objection, the general letting of paving contracts would be generally approved. The only objection to this program would be the fact that if it were

undertaken now it would require three weeks for the publication of the no- J promise to hatch ot a very gay assort -

tice that the Improvement is to be made, another month to adverlso for bids, j ment of men's attire this spring, any

end then some delay before the contractor could begin work.

But there are a great many Improvements that can be begun immediately and if employment of this kind can be given to the needy, it would be a great deal better than to ' spend the hundreds of dollars that the township j

is now expending for charity.

SPORTS IM THE CITY HALL

There is probably not another place In the city where the readers of the sporting pages of the newspapers are worse "bugs" than In the city hall. Its an off day when one can't step Into one of the rooms and talk "Cubs," "White Sox" or a rooster fight pulled off somewhere in Ilegewlsch. Peter Lyons, the city engineer, can keep up a rapid fire comment while bending over the tracing table. A wide difference of opinion with that of his however, causes him to lay down his pen and "tell you something that you didn't know." By the time you know it ho generally has you backed up In a corner shaking a finger at you while you aro trying to get out of his reach, but not until you know it all can you make your escape

Otto Duelke, the city clerk, is of a

more easy disposition, but he does like the recess of an argument ,while copying one of the big ordinances that has been passed in the council lately. His range of sporting knowledge is not limited to any one particular game, although he is right at home with the

"Cubs."

There is no more ardent fan when the

, Herbert H. D. Pierce, the United States minister to Norway, was born

in Cambridge, Mass., April 11, 1849, and graduated from Harvard college in 1871. After leaving Harvard he studied geology for a time In the Royal School of Mines In London. He entered upon a diplomatic career In 1894, when he was appointed the secretary to the United States legation at St. Petersburg, and in 1898 he became the first secretary of the American embassy there when the mission was raised to that rank. Mr. Pierce was one of the representatives of the United States at the coronation of the present czar. He remained in St. Petersburg until 1901, when he returned home to accept the position of third assistant secretary of state. This position he occupied for five years, during which time he made two tours of in

spection commissioned by the president to investigate and report upon

the condition of the American consul

ates in Europe. Mr. Pierce also had a prominent part in the arrangements

Abe Halleck of Rensselaer, was nominated at Montlcello Friday, last week, as state senator from this district. The Republican prints a glowing picture of Abe and his many virtues, and It is probable that a new set of wings will soon be required. If Abe is the beauty spot of nature pictured by the Republican, his peculiar talents will come in good play in the next session of the legislative bodies. No one would object to the passing of a law fixing the standing of sauerkraut, or the amount of dogs per capita that may be owned, or even no one would kick on a little broad-minded

legislation on the question of how, when and where and why the web-

footed duck is no true barometer of

attention of the coming senator to the

THE CREAM OF THE Morning News

Some Interesting Facts Concerning the Opening of of the Big League's Baseball Season Next Tuesday Afternoon. FACTS AND FIGURES CONCERNING THE MAJOR LEAGUES. ! q Seasons opens April 14 and closes Oct. 5-8. National League to play 154 games and American League 152 games. Opening games In National League: New York at Philadelphia, Boston at Brooklyn, Pittsburg at St. Louis, and Chicago at Cincinnati. Opening games In the American League: Detroit at Chicago, St. Louis at Cleveland, Philadelphia -at New York, and Washington at Boston. The conflicting dates for tho entire season have been reduced fifteen, which emphasizes the spirit of peace between the two leagues. ' New York, April 11. Weather permitting, the baseball season of the two major leagues will open Tuesday. Judging from the attendance at the pre-

liminary and practice games, the interest In the national game si more wlde-t

pread than ever this year. Predictions are freely made that this will be

baseball's banner year. Some of the minor leagues that were in existence

last season have disbanded, but more than enough new organizations havei

sprung up to taKe tneir place, in ract, the number or proiessionai league that will be seen in competition this year is larger than ever before.

The sixteen clubs that comprise the American and National Leagues ara?

reported in good shape and ready for the umpire to cry "Play ball!" Accord -

ng to the experts who have closely studied the clubs In both the big leagues

since they have been in training, the race for the championship In the res

pective organizations will be closer than it has been for several seasons past

It Is estimated that the total expense of the two major leagues for tha;

season of 1908 will amount to more than $2,000,000, Including ground rent,,

alaries, training expenses and railroad farces for the season. A fortune ls

expended in railroad fare alone. In order to fill their scheduled championship dates for the season the clubs of the American League will have to.

travel 95,722 miles and the National League teams 92,465 miles, making at

the rate of 2 cents per mile and at the average of eighteen men to eaclx party, the sum of $67,765.32 that will be paid to the railroads for transports tlon alone. Of this amount the American League will contribute $34,477.93 and the National League $33,287.40.

The St. Louis Browns are scheduled to do more traveling this year than

any other club of the American league. They are down to journey 14,507miles. Twice they are to make the Jump from St. Louis to Boston a distance

f 1,299 miles. The longest jump for the New Yorks and Chlcagos of the Amer-

can League will be the trip from New York to St. Louis, which is 1,066 miles.

The longest trip for the Philadelphias will be between Philadelphia and St. Louis (976) miles and the star jaunt of the Washington club will be front

the home city to St. Louis (S92) miles.

Of the National League teams the Plttsburgs will find traveling the mostl

expensive. They are slated to make thirty-seven trips and will cover a dlstance of 15,057 miles. The Philadelphias, on the other hand, will have to travel less than 1,000 miles, the difference between the two teams being duel

to the fact that the Pittsburg team will be obliged to constantly leave homa

to fill Sunday dats in Chicago and Cincinnati.

The Plttsburgs and the Clnclnnatis are to make the longest jumps among?

the National League clubs. The Brooklyns will make fever jumps than other National League team, the schedule calling for them to leave home only

twenty-three times, or fourteen less than the Pittsburgs. The big Jumps between Boston and Rt. Louis will be taken during the season by three of the National League clubs the Bostons, Chlcagos and St. Loula.

The Philadelphia club in each league wll have the smallest amount ot

mileage to pay, the total for the season amounting to $3,395.40. The St.

Louis club in the American league must put up $5,150.52 for railroad fare, the largest amount of any club in that organization. The Pittsburgs, head

ing the list in the National League, will pay out $5,420.52 fo rthe season.

Before the club treasurers can begin to put figures on the right side ot

the ledger, something like 360,000 fans must pass through the turnstiles.' After that, as the saying is, it is all "velvet" for the owners of the team.
