/ VERY PLEASANT GENTLEMEN.
"Houghton, Mich, Jan. "a. Tom
Dunstan is o peach. That is what
everybody says. Capt. Duncan is
another peach. Everybody says
that, too. We had two banquets
yesterday, one at the hotel and one
out at the club house at Calumet. 1t
appears that the officers of the big
mining companies are employed
principally to entertain legislative
tourists. They don t seem to have
anything else to do, and it is evil
dent that the most of their time has
been devoted to the study OF the art.
The companies must be generous
with their expense accounts, too
The car never had good things and
Difference passed up to him any
faster than they are coming to us.
Lansing money is treated as
counterfeit up here, but it is q rule
that won't work both ways. Tom
Dunstan is peach. Capt. Duncan
is another. Ex-Speaker Tateum
just said so, and he knows 'em well;
they know him, too. Billy Bates
he s another of the herders that /
forgot to mention-says they are
very pleasant gentlemen. That
means the same thing.
Somebody is calling the roll at
the bar. We're going to put in
heating apparatus before starting
for sleighride out to the mining
, school.

2 came away. Porter says we're go
Q ing to Escanaba tonight. Every
S body asks Porter or Col. Baylies
h about everything now. Too much
b trouble to think. The colonel and

Chicago, Jan. 27.--Woke up here
