noticed the above sign, and being of an
inquisitive turn of mind, we decided to
investigate the interior of the building
which bore such an inviting name. Upon
entering we were met by the gentlemanly
proprietor, Byrcn Glover, who respectfully
asked us IL there was anything he could do
for us, and after explaining our mission,

Luke WEIGH
There is probably not another man in
the upper peninsula country, who has Il
better knowledge about the Lake Superior
country than Mr.. Luke Welch, the subject
who heads this sketch. For nearly half
century he has made this country his
home, and he has made its resources and
advantages close and careful study, and
the fact that he has resided here so long
would certainly indicate that he has
found it to his liking. When Mr.. Wech
came here he " as only barefooted boy

Indian teepee, and he was subjected to all
manner of hardships, but he manfully
stuck to his work in the face of it all In
1865 he received the government contract
to carry the mail from L'Anse to HougE-
ton, which he did by team for several
years. He was also engaged in following
the avocation Of II fisherman on Lake Su-
perior for seven or eight years, and from
which he derived nice profit.
