Brady and lots more, all of whom can
talk French f1uently.

"Presque Isle" visited by people from
all over the world; it's beautiful

lshpemng is another very good and
prosperous Michigan city and next to
Hancock and Calumet the liveliest
place in northern Michigan. Here is
our best friend, Rev. Father Langan,
E1 Hickey, Pat Sullivan, T. 2. Dordan,
P. Fitzpatrick, Richard Grant, John
McNeff, Mike Carsen, VIM. Ryan, Tom
Hickey, Tim Cooney and others who
treated your representative first-class
whilst among them.
We come to Hancock. 1t is lively,
costly place, and, with Houghton
across the great river, both on side
hills, the places remind one of the
pictures drawn Of the South African
kopJes and veldts. No army could
take them, front or rear. At Hancock
the Standard has such friends as John
HOwlan, M. Rourke, Thos Russell
Ihos. Lynch, John Driscoll and sever
al more that 1 cannot at present re-
call.
| Passing along we arrive ut Calumet
the possessor of the deepest and larg-
est machinery mine on earth, the So
called Calumet and Hecla. This Cal
umet is without doubt a curiosity of
place. Nothing but old burnt
stumps of tamarack pine trees to be
seen and wooden houses without end,
high chimneys and shafts, church
steeples and thirty-one different ma
tionalities with their different tongues
continuously wagging at each other,
$4,000 souls, 25 churches and one lone
policeman. A majority of the people
here are Catholics. No A. P. AIS, no
police, no crime and everyone happy.
Such is a record not easily excelled.
Here is our good friend Capt. O'Neill
Z. OShcrdan, M. G. Sullivan, John ].
Sullivan, z. Harrington, Jerry Cronin
and Richard r. Racy, the new Irish
Standard hustler Of Calumet, and one
of the brightest Fenians we have met
on our travels. AT Apachee we met
John Howard 2. O'Connell, M. Goggin
and others, and at Lauraien our old
friend Attorney P. II. O'Brien, Michael
Kane, J. II. Murphy, and, strange to
say, another Michael Kahn, subscrib-
er to the Irish Standard. a good Boer
Dutchman). On our way back we
met Dan Crowley, the good Hancock
A. O. III. man.
Here is IrOnwOod, Mich A vcrit-
able hot bed of iron and good people
| lronwOOd is another one of those pla-
ces that person hates to leave. The
ST. James Hotel here is very far the
most popular place Of the kind along
the line of our travels. John Brennan
showed me around and helped me out
wonderfully here. He is the best
known man in town. Then there is
John G. Shea and Denny Shea, Jerry
Il. Sullivan Ed. d. Cuff, b. McKevitt,
Mrs. X. Walls, ]. Mcnamara, Jerry
flanley, John Lahey, p. G. Murphy,
Jas. A. Sullivan and the great A. o. II.
man, John w. Mullen. AS usual we
met more but can't think of them now.
Rhinclander, Wis, is good healthy
business place and great numbering
center. Mills and mills here galore
and Tim O'Conncll, Rev. Father
Schmidt, Felix Dolan, J. MCGOWAN,
Mike Kcarns. Owen Ryan, John II.

vey. will all swear by the Standard
and our good friend Clancy. the Glare
man. who showed us around. will new
cr be forgotten. And here is Ashland,
the owner of the finest harbor in
America, so they say. Mills aud lum-
her "nd iron here in plenty and no
doubt about it. 1t is the coolest place
on earth in winter time and the cool
est place on the globe in summer time,
Il chronic kicking gent SO expressed it.
More iron comes in and out of here,
he says, however, than any other port
in all the world. Here I met Billy
Mccullough, Jas. T.. Mullrooney, who
owns the largest fruit commission
house in Ashland, of st. Paul, James
Rogers, r. Nloc1ller, John O'Brien
D. Mahoney, Mike Whelan. and mine
host of the Leland, VIM. Irish. Ash
