ORGANIZATION NEEDED.

A couple of weeks ago the TRIBUNE
suggested to the citizens of this place
the Importance of having some Organi-
cation, the special duty of which would
be to look after the public interests OF
Cheboygan, inducing mandatory
enterprises to locate here, and adj
vertising to the world at large the
resources of this place and surround
ing country. This suggestion has
been met with approval by those
persons most largely interested in the
growth and prosperity of the village.
A number of them have been to the mani
ager of this paper and urged that some
action be taken i'm this matter. AS the
TRIBUNE stated i'll one of its first issues,
the only way that town can succeed is
by a hearty cooperation OF its business
men, all working to one common end,
with view to common benefit. The
only way that this cooperation can be
brought about is by an organization of
those interested in the result sought.
Cheboygan has many needs which an Or
ganization of interests and combined
strength would bring about, to the benefit
of all. The importance of this cannot
be over estimated, and we trust that
some action Will soon be taken to perfect
such and organization. The results
which can be obtained within year will
more than compensate for any trouble or
expense

OF an opportunity to bring it to mar
ket. Upon the hanks If this lake are ex-
tensive gravel beds, which will be valra-
BILE. Then there is any amount of excel
lent building stone which can brought to
market here, and when this is done there
will be no necessity of putting wooden
foundations under our houses. The cost
of transportation will be light. and the
necessity of bringing stone from distant
points will be forever obviated. The
main characteristics of tho soil around
Crooked Lake is similar to that around
Burt and Mullett Lakes, and the import
ance of giving the settlers in that part OF
the state the advantages Os cheap trans
portation to market are as great as from
the other lakes, and even more impor-
tant to Cheboygan. The distance back
is much greater, and to draw the trade
from that part of the state to this place is
very desirable. The navigation once
opened the business would come without
much further effort. The superior quail
ty of these lands and their ease of ac-
cess would soon become known, and
and their settlement and Improvement
would be certain, rapid and permanent.
All that is needed to secure the aid that
is asked for this Improvement is for people
to see the situati5H of affairs. Its i'm
portance can be seen at glance by
any one going over the ground. Prop
erty will be brought into market by this
that would not be improved in years by
any other means. 1t will add more to
the growth and prosperity of Cheboygan
than double the amount of money ex-
pended in any other way.

AN ENTERPRISE THAT WILL PAY.

It may not be generally known, but it
is fact, that great share of the print
ing paper used for newspapers is made
with large proportion of wood. The
using of wood for this purpose is of COM
paratively late origin, and out of it has
grown a new manufacturing business
the manufacture Of wood pulp for this
purpose. This is made out of what is
called poplar or aspen. 1t is 4 wood that
is especially adapted for this purpose,
but is one that does not grow very plen-
tifully in many parts of the country. 1t
has been considered quite a profitable
business. During the visit of the sur
veying party to the lakes a few days
since it was discovered that along por.
ton of the banks of the lakes and rivers
large quantities of this timber was grow
ing. 1t is nearly worthless for any other
purpose. 1t could be cut and brought to
this place at very low prices. A pulp
mill established here could not help but
pay. The wood would not cost over half
what it does in the southern part of the
state, where there are two mills i'm opera
ton, and the cost of putting the pulp
upon the market would be very small in
comparison to what it costs these mills
which are situated upon railroads, where
local rates have to be paid both for bring
ing the stock to the mill and taking the
manufactured product away. There is
no place in the country where such an
establishment would pay the profit that
it would in this place. We hope to see
some one investigate the matter and
make the necessary investment.

ment Of the navigation Of the rivers as
himself, for the purpose Of making the
surveys necessary to making an estimate
Of the cost of the improvement. Here
t0fore what we have said of the import
ance and advisability of securing this i'm
provement has been from information
derived from others. The facts as we
found them more than substantiate any
statement that we have made. The i'm
portance of having this work completed
cannot be properly appreciated except
by personal inspection of the lakes and
rivers. We can say emphatically thai
the project is feasible, and that the ex.
pense will be small in comparison to the
benefits derived.

tax tor 1875 is 1921, 232. 80, and the coun-

ton is therefore $685., 2O2, or AZ per cent.
This is the lightest state tax since the
year 1864, when the amount was $780,

state tax might become needless if we
were not clogged with constitutional
