In Rogers City and the township
of Rogers things are certainly looking
progressive. A court house aud Jail,
joint stock brewery, mill for the
manufacture Of extract from hcmlock
bark, three school houses in connection
with tho Union School district, and
two Churches, one Catholic, and the
other Protestant, are all only waiting
the opening Of the weather to be i'm
mediately commenced. A framcway
railroad company, with track extern
ding some six miles into the country,
for getting out cord wood, cedar posts,
poles, and hemlock bark, has been in
corporated. Foremost in all these en-
tcrprises are Albert Molitor, the pres
ent, Frederic Denny Larkc, the late
Supervisor, and J. Paul Mayer. Our
worthy fellow citizen Christopher
Burrell goes up to Rogers City with
a staff of competent mechanics to fin.
ish the new saw mill of Albert Moli-
tor & Co., of Rogers City, which will
he in running order by the middle of
May next. The season having been
very favorable for the getting out of
logs, this mill will probably run day
and night during tho comming sum
mcr. The company have made a
most magnificent addition to their
heretofore extensive dock and break
water, and stranger might almost
lose himself among the immense piles
of telegraph poles, cedar posts, etc,
that have been gotten out during the
past winter, and now lie ready for
shipment at Rogers City. The line
Of road for Geographic communica-
tion between Alpena and Rogers City
has been cut out sixty-six feet wide,
and magnificent roads have been made
throughout the whole country. 1t is
ll,asurc to witness the improvements
that have been made through this most
magnificent section of agricultural
land. Never before have we seen tax.
es laid out to greater advantage, and
we doubt not that the outlay will be
returned ten fold to the settler. The
public buildings in Rogers City and
also many of the private residences
may compete favorably with our own
and we noticed several frame building
among the farmers in the surrounding
country. As we travelled homeward
NC mentally speculated. Pine lands
though a good and profitable invest
nent. arc but fecting and transitory
speculation; but farming country
such as this, is ever progressive ant
ever increasing in value, and let m
shank the providence that so bcauti

of our State. / am
