profitable on the western prairie, is not
SO here, although some of the earlier va
rieties would ripen; but there are other
crops so much more profitable that lit
tie attention is paid to raising corn.
That farming can be made profitable
here can be shown beyond doubt by
many farmers who have been here for
years, even before the market facilities
were what they are present, or will be in
the future.
Farming lands can be purchased here

instances the cost Of clearing can be de-

made into lumber or wood, or, in the case
of hemlock, by the bark, the extract fac

ANTHOLOGY.

The NORTHERN TRIBUNE appears this
week with new heading, one which we
expect will now become as much part
of the paper as the name itself. It was
our expectation to have had it appear
with the first issue, but owing to poor
mail and express facilities it failed to ar
rive on time and the paper had to be is
sued with a temporary heading.
Since deciding to establish paper
here it has been the intention Of the
manager to make such a paper as would
be of the greatest benefit to the pros
perity of the place and the welfare of the
people. A slight acquaintance with the
situation of affairs convinced him that
the greatest need of the place was proper
advertising; sending abroad information
of the place and surrounding country,
together with the advantages of its loca-
ton. When these are once fairly under
stood the improvement of this country
is certain. Outside there is very great
lack of knowledge of Cheboygan. Very
few people know that there is such a
place. Feeling assured of the necessity
of disseminating this knowledge the
manager of the TRIBUNE conceived the
heading witch now adorns the paper, and
at a considerable expense had it en-
graved. He regrets that it did not ar
rive in time for the first issue, but the
fault was not his. Now, the first thing
that strikes the recipient of the paper
will be the location of Cheboygan and
surrounding towns, and that cannot but
exert an influence favorable to the place,
while the contents of the paper will at
all times be such as will interest the
reader in this northern country. We
shall expect the citizens of the place to
join with us in our endeavors to thus
benefit the place by assisting in general
distribution of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE
throughout this and adjoining States.
1t will be seen that we have on the
map completed the two railroads that
are near here, and also the proposed rail-
road from Mackinaw to Marquette. We
did this because we anticipated the early
completion of the roads and we did not
wish to then have to 90 to the expense
OF a new map and, besides, if they were
not shown, the map would not give cor
rect idea of the future of the place.
