The Excursion

Ishpeming - 825 tickets, good for a trip from Ishpeming to
Houghton and return, are all ready in possession of the AOUW
committee, and members can now secure tickets for the excur-
sion to be given on the 28% inst. If any tickets remain un-
sold they will be placed on sale for the general public on
July 23, and can be found after that date, at the stores of
John B. Tibor, August W. Lindholm and Herman A. Jaedecke. A
limited number of tickets will be sold and every person who
buys a ticket will obtain a seat. The price of tickets for
the full trip will be $1.75 and those buying them will be
given their choice of returning from Houghton on the excur-
sion train or staying over and returning to Ishpeming on the
regular passenger train which will leave Houghton at four
o'clock on Sunday afternoon.

All the other lodges of the AOUW in the upper peninsula -
and their name is legion - has promised to send large delega-
tions, and there will certainly be the largest number of Work-
men in Houghton on July 28 and 29 that has ever been gathered
together at on place in Mi.
