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 excursion train or staying over and returning to Ishpeming on the regular passenger train which will leave Houghton at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
