BIOGRAPHY OF
PETER WHITE.
Marine Review Will Write Up
Development OF Iron Mining
Industry.

The Marine Review, of Cleveland,
o., announces that it will begin the
publication in its issue of Decem-
Der IL, of the biography of Hon.
Peter White, of Marquette, Mich,
or to put it more correctly, will be-
gin to relate the history OF the dis
covery and development of the iron
regions of Lake Superior. The
story will be concluded in three
numbers. The whole fabric of the
history of the development of iron
is woven about the life of Peter
White because it is a singular aud
impressive fact that his life encom-
passes all of it. He was practically
there when the first iron deposit
was discovered and he is there yet.
He was with the first handful of
white men who penetrated the will
derness of the upper peninsula of
Michigan. The only inhabitants of
the unbroken forests were the wild
beasts and Indians. At that time
the canal at Sault Ste. Marie was
merely vague hope of the future.
The only roadway was the Indian
trail; the only food, such as ones
skill with gun and line secured.
There were no vessels on Lake Su-
perior bigger than the birch bark
canoe save few which had been
dignified with the name Of schooner,
but upon which today no one would
think of risking his life. Under
these adverse circumstances the de-
velopment Of the iron mines, lying
in the hills IA miles from the lake
shore, became monumental labor.
Several of the companies went bank
rupt and none declared dividend
for 10 years. Peter White was 10
part Of this experience, serving as
clerk to an iron company, pene-
trating the trackless wilds with
dogs and sled to fetch the mail, act
ing as amateur counsel to minor
litigants, representing the region
in the legislature and finally estab-
fishing himself as banker to the
| community. He became the most
moving and picturesque figure in
the gradual unfolding of the won
derful industrial panorama of thu
Lake Superior region. He saw the
plank road give way to the steam
railway, the first great iron ore
| dock with its pockets and chutes con-
structed, the Sault Ste. Marie can
al built, and the great highway of
of the lakes made clear for that stu
pendous torrent of ore, which has
made the United States the great
industrial nation that it is. These
deposits today are the principal as
set of the United States Steel cor
poration. They are this great.com-
pany's bulwark chief thing
which makes its stock unassalable.
All the facts in the history,
brought down to 1901, are authentic
and many of them have not hitherto
been published. The narrative has
not only the quality Of romance,
touching as it does the fate Of the
Indian woman Angelique on Isle
Royale during the winter of 1915,
probably the most tragic Of all incl
dents connected with the father of
waters, but is Invaluable from the
historical standpoint. As the ed
ition of the Marine Review is of
limited character, those who de-
sire copies are advised to order
them in advance.

tion The Commissioners remedy for existing evils would be a prompt re- versal of the governments long-contin- ted policy of apron-string rule. He would pay more attention to the day schools and home teaching of the In- dian children than to the ornamental features of the present system. Having given the Indian a fair start, he be- lieyes that the government should throw him upon his own resources, as the only means of teaching him that the good things in life come from labor and thrift, and that there are obliga- tlons every one owes to society, as well as to himself.
 Commissioner Jones is on the right track but his talk is disturbing and so 1t may not be well received by the friends of the Indians.

NOT THE US U4L TALK.

William A. Jones, commissioner of Indian Affairs, has studied the Indian question, and he has come to some defi- mite conclusions. He points out that in the last thirty three years something like a quarter billion dollars has been spent on an Indian population of 1S0,- O0O-enough, if equitably divided. to build each family house and barn, pay for furniture, stock, agricultural imple- ments, etc, and fit it for as good a place in the world as it could fill. AS a tier of fact, after the passing of generation, a large part of the Indian popula ton is still on the reservations receiving help from the government in the form of food or money, or mechan- ics and farmers to wait on them, or all of these together, and the children are still going to school under government auspices, with a very fair prospect of being, when another thirty three years have rolled around. in no better situa-

OUR ERMAN FRIENDS.

Herr von Holleben, the German am
 bassador to the United States, has got
 back to Washington from his European
 trip, and he has brought back some good words. He says that the Kaiser
 has the most frank admiration for America's progress and the most cor dial and friendly feeling for the United States. All talk that he desires to bring the European nations together in a challenge of Americas progress in the commercial world is, "of course" with out foundation. And this is not all Ambassador von Holleben further says. You are without doubt aware that at regular intervals reports appear in the newspapers to the effect that Germany is trying to acquire coaling stations, or foothold of some kind, in South America, or in the West Indian waters. These stories are started again and again by our enemies who don't like to see us on too friendly terms with the United States. I can tell you now that I am officially authorized to state that Germany has no such purpose. I want to deny now, once for all, these ever recurring reports in an emphatic and way. I have told this to the President, who was especially grat- flied by it'
 it ought to quiet some of the rumors for awhile. With our great prosperity pretty comfortable.

THE MINNESOTA PROTEST.

The announcement that Governor Van Sant of Minnesota will attack the new Northwest railroad combine is in- teresting, but it is not regarded as very important. In the first place, it is not probable that the able and astute men who made the arrangement have done anything illegal. They hire the best lawyers to keep them within legal bounds, and they are doubtless safe enough so far as existing law is con- cerned. It is further said that they are ready to conciliate any opposition that may develop, so far as possible. They are anxious not to arouse adverse sen- timent, and while they are confident that their organization is sound legally they will make concessions to avoid, if possible, any public agitation of their plans. They will probably reduce rates and give assurances that there will be no consolidation of the various rail- roads, that officers will not be reduced, and that each railroad will be as inde- pendently managed as in the past.
 The new deal may not be as great business success as some say it will be. The air is full of big talk, and some of it may not pan out. But the great com- biners will probably continue their op- erations as long as they find them prof itable.

4 RICH RLRLE CLASS.

Chicago thinks it has the most nota- ble Bible class in the world. A revival movement there has taken such a strong hold on the women of the North Side that they have organized a Bible class and engaged William R. Newell, assistant superintendent of the Moody Bible Institute, to teach them. The class is known among those who do not belong to it as the Bible class for the elite" It meets every Saturday. There is such a display of fine horses and car riages, beautiful gowns and wondrous hats that a considerable crowd Is won't to congregate about the building where the meetings are held in order to feast its eyes. It is estimated that those who were present at the last meeting of the class represented fully s5O,0o0,0 ,00o.
 In their study of the Bible these rich women of Chicago will find that Jesus said unto His disciples: Tt is easier for camel to go through the eye of a needle than for rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" and it wont do them any harm if they get little scared over the difficulty rich woman may have in entering into that king dOm

 to it's destination. The Portuguese, on the ground that the former Boer repub- lies are now legally in possession of Great Britain as a prize of war, permits this material to pass freely through the , Portuguese port. Consul Hollis says the Boers, every now and then, are cap- turing trains on the line of the Delagoa Bay railroad. In this way they are adding fresh material to their war re- sources.
 As far as can be seen, the Boers do not lack munitions. It was reported, however the other day that the Brit ish had turned rack load of saltpetre which entered Delagoa bay en route to the Boers for their use in making gun powder. If at any time they become crippled for war resources, the fact will soon be made evldent.-From the New York Sun.

THE BOERS' SUPPLIES.

No Lack of Guns and Munitions so Far | The Boers, who are still sweeping down upon the British troops wherever | they see a chance to do damage seem to have plenty of guns and cartridges
 A British paper asked the question the
 other day, Where do the Boers get
 their munitions?" Many of the British
 are much surprised, both by the tenac- ity with which the Boer remnant still cling to their cause and by the fact
 that these bushwhackers seem to have
 all the rifles, powder and ball they need
 Nobody is able clearly to solve the mys-
 tery, but some facts point to the prob-
 able sources of supply.
 In the first place, the Boers had an enormous supply of munitions when the
 war began. They had been buying for
 several years, and in one year they spent about $4,O00,o0O. There is reason to believe that they had not nearly ex-
 hausted their munitions when they themselves became so overwhelmed by superior numbers that they could no longer fight with strength and energy. Pretoria had been supplied with every thing required to stand a long siege, but when the British got there, the Boers made no resistance to their occu- pancy of the town. The British found no war material in Pretoria It is prob- able that such munitions as had been reserved had been carried off to the eastern mountains and concealed The Boers declared that in the event of their defeat they would have plenty of arms left among the fastnesses of the mountains to carry on a guerilla war fare for years to come
 The Boers are improving every op- portunity to capture munitions from the British. It has been reported that in quite a number of the raids and fights of the past year the Boers cap- tured considerable quantities of muni- tions It is also known that the Boers have captured more or less material coming into the Transvaal on railroad trains. For months past, Consul Hol- lis writes from Lorenzo Marquez the entire transportation system has been taxed to its utmost capacity to supply rations and munitions of war to Brit ish troops in the garrsons and in the field. Much of this material has been kept for weeks at the various ports Lorenzo Marquez, waiting for cars in which it might finally be sent |

 GETTING THE OLD MANS CON- SENT.
 "It was settled some time ago that he was to marry my daughter" said the father of girl of the period, "but it yet remained for the young man to get my consent It was merely formality, however, as I had cut no figure what ever during the campaign, my girl ar ranging matters to suit herself without consulting me or my wishes.
 idation I had approached my wifes father when I asked him for her hand, and made up my mind that when that young man showed up to ask me for my daughetr's hand I would have re- venge not only for what I had to pass through when I urged my suit, but for being showed to the background during the present proceedings.
 Well, he called at my office yester- day, and I told my office boy to admit him and leave us alone and see that we were not disturbed.
 Just dropped in said he, easily, declining to take a seat, to tell you that I am going to marry your daugh- ter the middle of next month. It will be an informal affair, so you may con- slider yourself invited without further notice. Good day. @
