(Continued from page 4.)
During tho lira; week or so nil labor was utrlctly manual. There whs ho
lior.se to le hail. No matter how heavy a log might Im tho men imlleil ami
hauled it about as lest .'they could. Py nome moans, however, a horse that
belonged to Silas Smith came into possession of tho party and Peter was select
ed to drive it. Th hoy was immensely pleased with his task. The horse was
n useful animal an 1 catholic in its apjietito. It could cat anything. Smith
even warranted him t thrive on sawdust, provided it was from hardwood. A
week or two after an old man named Oanon wandered Into camp with a team
of oxen, a cow and a calf.
"Peter, can you drive oxenT"sang out some one.
4I can", answered Peter bravely, but with Home hesitation.
Peter did not know whether he could drive oxen or not. He knew that
"Haw" mean to the oxen to go one way and "(lee" the other, but he did not
know which was which. He reasoned, however, that if he did not know the
oxen did. and taking the gad he drove them straigtb ahead until well out of
slghtof the camp, when he yelled "Whoa". The oxen dtoppod. "Haw!",
cried Peter.
The oxen turnd to the left. Then Peter knew that 4Ooe" meant to the
right. When he returned to camp and nonchalantly yelled "Haw' 'everyone
concluded that Peter had been driving oxen all of his life.
"Can yon milk?" asked Mrs. Whoelock, the boarding house keeper.
"Yes" answered Peter unhesitatingly for ho knew that he could do it.
And so he was let into the graces of a very gcuid and kind woman who volun
teered to do his washing ami mending and who iuvitod him to eat at the second
tabl, for all of which, indeed he was truly grateful.
Peter was proudly driving his oxen a week later when a stranger overtook
him and demanded the cattle, claiming that they belonged to the Jackson Iron
Co. Peter declined to surrender them and drove them back to camp. That
night the cow and calt were stolen ami it was reported on reliable authority
that the directors and president of the Jackson Iron Co., who had just arrived
at their mine , had had veal for dinner. More in sorrow than in anger, the
Jackson Iron Co. rebuked old (lanson for having sold the animals while he was
in debt to tho company for the freight on them up. Tho old man's heroic
reply was that the Jackson Iron company wcd everybody, but that he chose
to reverse tho order of things and owe the Jackson Iron company. In that
event, he said, there was a possibility that tho debt might some day be paid.
Ainu it this time Jim Presquo Isle, whose real name was James Hilliard.
informed Capt. Moody that there was a large meadow a short di.dauce trom
Presquo lhio covered with superb grass. The only trouble with it was that
the water on it was too deen to admit of mowing it. In a few hours, however,
lie thought a drain could bo t ut into the lake that would draw the meadow
dry. Moody coll'M tfil his men, and, armed with shovels, axes, scythes, rakes
and pitchforks, thev rowed t the meadow", ('apt. Moody was 'palpably ner
vous. He had never attempted to drain a field before, but he deli lieratoly
staked out the proper place for the canal and ordered tho workmen to proceed.
They dug each way from the center for four or five hours and then opened both
ends simultaneously, when to the great astonishment of the workmen and the
no lens nre.it chagrin of Moody the waters of Lake Superior rushed in and sub
merged the meadow. Tho field of ycientilic engineering was jermanently
abandoned by Moody and he directed his workmen to resume the clearing of
tho land at Worcester for the erection of t he forge, the machine shop, the saw
mill and the coal house, which were to Im, in his judgment and that of the
entire party, th forerunner of a great industrial city. It should bo noted
that the name of Worcester did not long continue. It was changed to that of
tho most illustrious of the Jesuit missionaries, lYre Marquette, who now sleeps
peacefully at St. Ignace.
Meanwhile the restless Oravareat had gone to Milwaukee and returned in
August on tho little schooner Pur Trader, with a lrgo numlter of Hermans,
some Irish and a few French to develop the iron mines. It was the great chol
ra year and various parts of the country were infested with the dread pesti
lence. The little schooner had a frightful voyage.

EDITORIAL NOTES
Congressman Sheldon announces that
Postmaster Kern will be re-appointed
at M enominee notwithstanding the re
ported opposition to him by ex-Congressman
Stephenson
Congressman Sheldon has introduced
a bill in congress for tho construction
of a public building at the Soo to cost
from f.ViO.ono to :;ui,ooo. The build
ing to 1m erected will provide not only
for a postoflice, but custom hoii.-o and
other govennicnt offices.
Following closely noii the resigna
tion of Postmaster Jeneral Smith came
tho announcement that Secretary (Jago
had resigned the treasury Mrtfolio.
Immediately there arose the query as
to tho intentions of Preddent lioosevelt
1o follow out tho policy of the late
President McKinley. (Jossips had it
that tho cabinet changes presaged a
swerving from the .marked path. Later
information on the subject gns to
show that the cabinet changes were
brought about by the President's deter
mination to erercise all of the func
tions that go with the office of chief
executive, that is, that instead of al
lowing th cabinet heads to do practi
cally as they like within their depart
ment, he proposed to exercise a super
visory charge over them. The presi
dent is held for the errors of his cabi
net ollicets and President lioosevelt
proposes to know what he is leing held
j for. The differences , of opiiioli to
ll ween tho President and his cabinet
have resulted from the distribution of
fisb-ral patronage. President lioosevelt
heiv (luso to the civil service line and
that contse did not suit some of the
cabit.et heads.

of late.
Killed By Cars.
John Honan. au old resident of Flor
ence, and a veteran of the i vil war,
was run over and killed by the cars
near that city late last Friday after
noon., The Honan family live on a
farm alsmt four miles east of Florence,
their residence being only a short dis
tance from tne North -western track.
Mr. Konan's son Frank has lately
been employed bv the railroad com
pany to attend the switch lights at hill
siding, ls'tween Commonwealth and
Spread Eayle. About . o'clock Fri
day afternoon the old gentleman
htarted out to liyht the lamps for his
son, anl while walking eastward
toward the last tiwitt h at the siding
was run down by switch engine No.
.".17, which was running between Flor
ence and Iron mountain as a special.

a,'e and had many friends.
Wa.nl i La.w Amended.
Land Commissioner Wildy wants
the law relative to selling state laud a
mended fo that the timber only, may
lie sold. He bases his ideas on the re
sults of last week's sales when 'A.'MO
acres were soltl for ;?', O.VJ that being a
little less than per acre. The
graeter portion of the land sold lies in
Chippewa and Mackinaw counties, but
a little of it is located in Iron county.
The purchasers bid to the value of the
timber on the lands leaving the value
of the land itself out of the question.
