and the very best brands of both foreign
and domestic liquors can always be found
there, as we'll MS fine line of cigars and
tobaccos. Mr.. Mauger has been engaged
in this business so long here that he fully
understands just what kind of place the
people want, and his saloon is one of the
most quiet and orderly in the city. Mr..
Mauger also owns 100 acres of fine red
stone lands in Houghton county, part of
which has been developed, and he also has
fifteen acres of brown stone lands near
Baraga and 1t has almost an inexhaustable
supply of this building material. Mr..
MaIger has held the Office of city recorder
for seven years and has filed the same po-
sition for the A. o. u. w. lodge, of which
he Is a prominent member, for eight years,
and he is one of the boys. He is one of
Baraga county's prominent tax payers,

August Menge.
We would indeed be doing an injustice
to the city of L'Anse and her business men
should we fail to include the name of
August Menge in this write up, for he has
done his share toward the advancement
and Improvement of the city; he has
erected and still owns three of the most
substantial business houses in the city, be-
sides fine residence. Mr.. Menge came to
this city in 1871 and opened up saloon
and is still engaged in the same business
and is the pioneer saloon keeper. Mr.

L'Anse and he is of that class of men who
believe in investing their money right
where they make it and has done as much
toward building up his home city as any
one other business man He now has one
of the best equipped saloons in L'Anse,
and his long experience i'll the business has
made him thoroughly cognizant with its
every detail. One very noticeable feature
about the saloon business in this town is
the fact of its being represented by some
of its most wellto-do and responsible of
citizens. 1t is too often the case that
places of this kind are carried on by a law
less and fearless class of men, who have
not a spark of manhood in them and who
make their place of business source of
terror to the more respectful class of
citizens. Such is not the case, however,
in L'Anse, for every man who is engaged
in the business today have the best in
terests of this prosperous little city at
heart, and they one and all conduct their
business in quiet and orderly manner,
and at the head of the list stands the
saloon conducted 10y the subject of this
sketch, which occupies n building 2ix60,
and has extraordinary fine fixtures and
the very best imported and domestic
liquors are handled.
Mr.. Menge is also quite an extensive land
owner, having some 1000 acres of mineral,
stone and timber lands, and some of which
is suitable for agricultural purposes He
has held nearly every office in the gift of the
people, and county treasurer years,
member of the school board 10 years,
county supervisor 4 or terms, and is to-
day mayor of the city, and was holding
that office when the water works was put
in, and it was mainly through his influence
that this city now has such an excellent
system His shoulder has always been at
the wheel and his hand, word and pocket
book has materially aided every laudable
enterprise that has been carried through
in the town. Mr.. Menge has raised fine
crop of apples, plums, cherries and pears
this season and says that this country is
