MANY ALIENS ARRIVE.

Hundreds OF foreigners have arrived
i'm the upper peninsula since Christ
have had considerable difficulty finding
employment at the mines, most of
which have been reducing their work
ing force since the first of the year.
Most of the immigrants coming to
this region are either Firms or Ital-
ians. The copper country is getting a
larger share of them than the iron dis
trict and the Mesaba range is getting
a larger share of the foreigners than
any of the older iron ranges.

OSBORN HAS BIG cINcH.
Upper Peninsula Majority of $4,000
viii Land Him at State House.

"lf EaHu TIM FlOuSc.
III Chase s. Osborn receives $4,000
majority in the upper peninsula at the
Urinary election next September he
win be the next governor OF Michigan"
Such was the emphatic declaration
Il Charles e. Brewster of Washington
in a conversation with the Iron Noun
tain Press during his recent stay in the
city.
Mr.. Brewster now holds the posi-
ton Of game law expert with The Uni
ted states government He was chief
deputy game warden under Chase S.
Osborn for eight years and naturally
is very much interested in the political
fortunes of his former chief, for whom
he has great admiration.
Brewster is a shrewd politician and
keeps i'm close touch with political
sentiment During the past few weeks
he has spent much time in southern
Michigan and his business brought
him in close contact with people who
are i'm position to correctly judge the
lrift Of sentiment among the voters.
He declares that there is much Os-
born sentiment in the lower counties
ana that the vote for the 500 candidate
will be surprisingly large. AS quoted
above, Brewster states that, if Mr..
Osborn comes to the Straits of Mack
mac with $4,000 majority, he will be
nominated for governor with several
thousand votes to spare.
And the Press assured Mr.. Brewster,
formerly of Grand Rapids, that the
upper peninsula expected to send Mr..
Osborn to the straits with a larger
majority considerably more than 25,-

FISHING IN AFRICAN RIVER.

an agreeable and pleasant change.
Such. at all events. was the opinion of
Sir Samuel Baker, who. after a long
march in Africa. through wild and
dangerous country. arrived upon the
borders of broad river He took his
fishing rod. and wandering up stream
cast his line over the water in the hope
of enticing some beauty of the deep to
take issue with him.
Il put on large bait and threw it
about forty yards into the river, well
up the stream, and allowed the float
to sweep the water in half circle.

distances from the shore.

moved. I was just preparing to alter

control over him whatever.
Holding him was out Of the ques-
ton. The line flew through my hand
and cut them till the blood flowed
and | was obliged to let the fish take
his own way.
This he did for about eighty yards
when he suddenly stopped. This unex-
pected halt was a great calamity, for
the reel overran itself. having no check

caught the handle just as he rushed
forward AGAIN and with hat
nearly pulled the rod from my hands
he was gone.
There were no rocks down stream.
all was fair play and clear water. and
away he went at racing pace straight
for the middle of the river. To check
the pace / grasped the line with the
stuff of my loose trousers and pressed
it between my fingers, so as to act as
a brake and compel him to labor for
every yard but he pulled like horse
and nearly cut through the thick cot
ton cloth. making straight running for
at least a hundred yards without a
halt.
Il now put so severe a strain upon
him that my strong bamboo bent near
ly double, and the fish presently so far
yielded to the pressure that / could
enforce his running in half circles in
stead of straight away.
Il kept gaining line until at length I
led him into shallow bay, and after a
great fight Bacheet embraced him by
falling upon him and cutching the
with hands and knees; he
then tugged to the shore q magnificent
