: Michigan opposite Minikanna. There
{ were dances at the Dunlap House, Mari
nette, ind the Menominee House, Menom
inee, fer the entertainment of the Editor
ial party. Carriages were in attendance
for conveyance to these dances and from
any of the three villages to any Of the
others These dancing entertainments
had each good band of musice and
were continued until sometime after 10
O'clock Dr. Sherman of Minikanna
gave hisattention mainly to those allotted
to Minikanna and he and Capt. Jockey
nude all feel at home. In the
morning, carriages were furn-
ished tor ride to the boom, half
mile above Marinette and to the dock
in Mtnominee A bridge crosses the
river at Marlnctte and tug plies between
Menominee and Minikanna. These vii
lagos all have large number of saw mills.
Mlnikanna claims the largest and best
None OF them Is equal to the mill at
/ Peshtlgo Landing. There is an abundance
of water power, but steam being CHEAPER,
there is but little of it used. Like
Peshtigo, saw dust is every where. Roads
are made of it, and land is made of #
Saw dust and slabs are burned to oct rid
of them. Speeches were made at Memo
minee, but we can refer to the speech of
President Seymour only He spoke ol|
the need of q harbor at Menominee, the
obligation the Government was under to
make appropriations for it, and the duty
of the press in relation to it.
At Menominee the Editorial party
divided, part going to lake Superior.
The main party took the Saginaw at $50
} for Big Sturgeon Bay Capt. Trowell
generously run his noble steamer five
miles up Big Sturgeon Bay to Sturgeon
Bay village. Here the party landed and
contrary to the announcement made bv
+, Senator Harris at Peshtigo, that not being
informed in season to prepare dinner, the
party would visit Sturgeon Bay, there
would be no dinner provided, We found
7 tables sit in the shade and spread with
: bountiful repast. After Senator Harris
left, the ladies' learning for certainly
: that Sturgeon Bay would be visited, set
themselves to work, time or no
t time, to prepare picnic dinner, and they
succeeded Captain Trowel, preparing
dinner for all on the boat and finding it
would not be wanted, sent to the boat
and had brought to the table strawberries
/ aud Ice cream. With strawberries pro
vided by the ladies and strawberries
and ice cream by the Captain the party
Q had double labor to perform. Here we
met Dr.. Young, once of Kenosha, now of
= Sturgeon Bay, acting with the Committee
OF Reception. Here Chaplain Walworth
:: made prayer Of thanksgiving, and short
i addresses were made by President Sey

entitled to an appropriation for improve ment

20 an appropriation. Piers have been and arc
being built and the dredge is at work exca
