Personal.

Hon. ]. X. Lockwood, who has
been absent from our city some
time, returned home Thursday
night, bringing with him Mr.. NJ. r.
Jefferds, President, Maj. f. J. Fair
brass, superintendent, and Mr.. A.
A. Wright, Contractor of the Grand
Rapids, Greenville & Alpena Rail-
road Company, which gentlemen
are here for the purpose of COM
mencing active operations in grad
ing, bridging and tieing said rail
road from this city southwest, thir-
ty miles Of which is to be complet-
ed and ready for the iron upon the
opening of navigation next spring.
Mr.. Jofferds has labored indefatig-
ably in the interest Of this road for
the past four years, and for the
last three years has devoted his
time wholly to its interest, and has
at last accomplished his desired OBJ
ject, namely: Secured the neces-
sary capital to iron and equip his
road. Major Fairbrass, for a long
time one of the officers of Gen.
Logan's staff, and for the past six
years connected with the Grand
Rapids & Indiana railroad, at Grand
Rapids, is the Superintendent of
the Grand Rapids, Greenville & AL
pena railroad, and with his expert
ence in railroad matters, should
make an efficient and valuable Off
Ger. Mr.. Wright is an old railroad
contractor, and is well known by
several of our citizens. He was
one of the principal contractors in
the construction of the Great West
ern railroad Of Canada, over twen-
ty years ago, and has since been
connected with several prominent
lines of railroads in the United
States, as contractor. These gen.
tlemen have como here for bust
ness, and expect to make Alpena
their future homes. We. gladly
welcome them here, and wish them
all the success that energy and
ability deserve.

natural channel to which commerce
is attracted as the needle OF the
pole. Here vessels of heavy draft
can load and unload their valuable
cargoes with ease and salty. Here
is the natural entry-pot for the
products Of territory embracing
hundreds Of square miles, now
rich with its orchards OF pine,
which, when cleared, will make the
best Of farms, producing heavy
crops of cerials that will seek nav
igation where cheap transportation
will convey them direct to England
and other foreign shores without
break of bulk. The rapid devel-
opcment Of the great pineries in
northern Michigan have opened
into our lap the product of its
treasures, and with railroad facili-
ties and their great and inexhaust-
IDLE power Of rapidly developing
wealth, will, each day lend its might
and strength in making Alpena one
Of the prominent cities of the great
northwest. Our facilities for docks
are unequaled, and when develop
ed, will offer to the shippers Of for
est products, for storage and trans
shipment, inducements rarely equal
ed. Cheap transportation and IA
cilities for handling and transfer
ring merchandise cheaply, will at
tract such attention as will in q
short time make Alpena pre- emf
nen.ly the great lumber mart of
Michigan.
Improvement will give ready en-
ployment to capital and labor, and
sharpen the industry Of our peo-
pie; and prosperity is followed by
Improvement, which, with the aid
of modern architecture, and the
liberality characteristic of an ener-
getic and thriving people, will make
our city one of great attraction
and elegance.
The contributing strength given
to our progress by the construction
Of railroad, will open channels
for the accumulation Of wealth
rarely equaled. The increase in
real estate values has been natural.
It's increase in the early future is
inevitable, and will reward the in
vesters in her faith with great re-
turns.
Opposition to our railroad inter-
e;ts has been exercised by some
who profess to have the interest OF
our city at heart, but who are, in
truth, our bitterest enemies. We
say that those who have the best
interests of Alpena at heart, will
put their shoulders to the wheel,
and wish the construction and COM
pletion of railroad to and from
this point, God speed.

Bright Prospects.

We are at last upon the eve of
a bright and eventful future. The
long talked of railroad that so
many of us have hoped for and
waited patiently to see, even in an
embryo state, is about to show it
self in our beautiful city, for even
now arrangements are made, plans
are perfected, engineers are at
work and ere this shall meet the
eyes Of our readers, laborers will
be actively engaged with shovels,
picks, crow-bars and axes within
our city limits, and for thirty miles
in southwesterly direction the
work will be pushed vigorously
to complete that division ready for
the reception of iron upon the
opening of navigation in the spring.
What its effects will be upon our
city is hard to conjecture. With
all the annoyances of, stage lines
monotony Of imperfectly con-
structod turn-pikes, the pestilential
smallpox and scurge of fires, we
have struggled to maintain our
identity until our young city now
numbers 5000 inhabitants, and can
boast of its good hotels, fine
churches, beautiful residences and
numerous mercantile, manufactur-
ing and commercial interests. At
tanning all this without a railroad,
what may wo reasonably expect
when the iron horse snorts through
our streets, giving us quick COM
mupication with all parts OF the
countryl
The unparalleled growth Of our
city, springing from the wigwams
OF Indians within the space of
eleven years, to its present mag
nificence, presents one OF the re-
markable incidents in the history
of the developments of the great
west. The causeso of her growth have
been natural. Tho excellent har-

OF creation, should beware OF the
nets and traps set by impecunious
and irresponsible Nestors of jour
nalization. Proudly anchored up
on the basis of journalistic GEN.
fury, the Pionea. should stand
among its compeers as gem in the
diadem Of their greatness. But
sad to relate, she stands like q de-
liquescent Egyptian mummy among
living Pharaoas. 1t is an unmer-
charitable bark upon the waters,
amid bright and glittering galleons,
upon whose annotated remnants is
the motto: "Peryeoerentia oinct
onanid, nee non ct iogloriana duca."
Amid the arduously exhausting du-
ties incumbent to impecunious
journalism, it is the prevalent pre-
rogative of the editor of the Pr
oneer to scoop in all the dirt and
scum that can be obtained from the
otfscuffs af creation. We hope in
the future to see some improve
ment in the Pioneer, and if it does
change its course, it will be but a
short time before it can afford to
wear an overcoat made to order, by
its own machinery, and hold a posi-
ton in the journalistic crypt OF
which it may we'll be proud.
