standard of value There has been no fall

The charitable people of the entire
country have recently had their atten-
tion attracted to northern Wisconsin
By the pitiful tales of destitution exist
ing among the miners of the once
famous Gogebic iron mining rerion.
The meager dispatches calling atten-
ton to the sufferings of these unfor-
tunate people have been in no sense
exaggerated. The Gogebic range ex-
tends through the upper Michigan
peninsula and northern Wisconsin 90
or so miles south of Lake Superior and
some 400 miles north of Chicago The
principal towns are Hurley. Pence and
Vaughn in Wisconsin and Ironwood
ard Bessemer in Michigan In these
towns and in the surrounding country
there are 5000 idle men. They are
mostly men of families and careful
estimate shows that 20 900 people are
absolutely destitute and are living On
the charity and benevolence of the
more fortunate people of Wisconsin
and Michigan. The official appeals for
aid were promptly answered and car
loads of supplies have been hurried 10
relieve the most pressing needs of the
helpless army of unemployed
The first appeal for aid came from
q small gathering of men at Hurley
They wrote polite but firm note to
Gov. Peck and told him they were
forced to be idle, had had no work to
speak of for six months, winter was at
hand and their families were starving
Gov. Peck hastily made an investiga-
ton and satisfied himself that the de-
mand was just and reasonable and set
out at once to furnish them food and
clothing He made public call and
it was quickly responded to and cart
loads of supplies were started north
within few days. Gov Peck visited
the sufferers with his military staff
and personally directed the distribu-
tion of the first special train of sup
plies. The governor visited scores of
the unfortunate people and assured
them that everything in his power
would be done to help them through
