banking institutions in the state of
Minnesota, leaving there with an envi-
able record for conducting business
along banking lines. Mr.. Eckern is
one of the heaviest stockholders in
the Citizens State bank, a man of ex-
ceptional pleasing personality, which
is an asset not to be computed in fig
ures.
One of the good things I have not
iced throughout the country is the
deep impression reports of crop fail
ures in the eastern and middle states
has made on settlers of the Pacific
northwest. Thousands of eastern pa
pers reach the people of this section,
papers published in their odd home
towns, and with few exceptions they
record the fact that crops are poor
this year and hard winter ahead.
These reports are supplemented by
letters from friends in the east ask
ing for information about our wonder
full country, with the end in view OF
selling and coming west. 1t looks in
fact, as though the next six months
would witness the largest influx of
homeseekers we have ever had.
While we regret beyound words OF
expression the fact that it is losses
that creates the cause for effect, we
are exceedingly glad to know that it
is the Golden West that will furnish
the homes and the farms of far the
greater portion of these people. Let
us all get busy and see that our east
ern friends are given good, reliable
information concerning the particular
sections they are interested in, the
wonderful possibilities of the country
as whole, the A-Y-P exposition, our
Alaska market for produce, and the
hundred and one things they would
be glad to know, and though they will
receive quantities of printed matter
exploiting various sections put these
facts in your own writing and they
will carry more weight than tons OF
cold type could relate.

In about a week one of the biggest

Shaded Streets-Comfortab Homes
The streets are well shaded; the people
live in comfortable homes. with some
pretensions to architecture; there is a
beautiful library, a city hall of imposing
design and dimensions, group of three
stately buildings occupied as state nor
NAL school. numerous public school
houses, ten handsome churches and a
county courthouse, recently finished, that
is one of the most admirable examples Of
architecture in Michigan.
The public library Is the gift of Peter
White, the first citizen of the northern
peninsula. and the building, which was
erected in 1904, at a cost Of $50, 000 bears
tributor. Several other citizens assisted
in bearing the expense. In the vestibule,
however, is a marble bust placed there in
his honor. Another Of his gifts to the city
is chapel erected in memory of his son
Morgan, who died some years ago. 1t Is
a beautiful little structure of brownstone
and adjoins the Episcopal cathedral Mr.
White is an Episcopalian by profession
and an active churchman. but has assist

| The building material chiefly used here is

name of the city, and the quarry from

He fought it with great determination, and

shipped to Brookline, Mass, where he
bought a slightly lot and re-erected his
home exactly as 1t stood in Marquette 1t
took three years to make the removal, and
1t cost over $4,000.
Marquette has daily paper that is rec

ton among people who are Interested in

it has a handsome opera house three
flourishing banks. two furnaces several

are as complete, although not so extern

nearest mine is at Negaunee, fourteen
miles distant to the southwark. The for
ests have been cleared away for a consid-
cradle distance around the city, but many
sawmils still send their lumber here for
shipment to market.
An Interesting Character.
infer that Peter White is the great man
of Marquette and of this vicinity, which
is strictly true, and he is one of the most
interesting characters in the country. He
came here boy at the beginning of
things and has grown up with the coun-
try. He has seen 1t all and has been a
large part of it. He assisted to strip the
soil from the first iron mine on Lake Su-
perior; he wrote the bill of lading for the
first shipment of ore; he came here with
the founders of the city, carrying a pack
upon his back; he sailed before the mast
on one of the first vessels that carried
| freight on Lake Superior; he cleared
away the brush to make room for the
first house that was built in Marquette:
he cut the first tree that fell on the site
OF the city; he set up the first steam
| boiler on the northern peninsula of Michi-
| gan; he organized the first bank. of which
| he is still the president, and very little
| of inspection has ever been done In this
| locality In which Peter White did not
participate.

Iron range. He was sentenced for life
and has been here for sixteen years. He
was very ugly at first and made a great
deal OF trouble. HolZley tried to kill a
guard, had four fingers shot off and was
sent to the state insane asylum, where,
under treatment his disposition was en-

prisoners has been very helpful.
When Holzley was sentenced he could
scarcely read or write. Since he came

library, Is remarkably well-informed on
all subjects and Is patient, thorough
student. His editorials in Progress on
current topics and pending problems are
quite remarkable.

The men are employed making overalls
for sale to the miners, and turn out about

Each man has a stunt which is re-
