the means Of bringing large share Of

LACK OF APPROXIMATIONS.

When we go to the southern part of
the state, or in fact any portion of the
country outside, we find woeful lack OF
information regarding the great resources
of Northern Michigan. There is gen
eral idea that great share of the coun-
try is swamp and of very little value
even for the timber that is on it.; that
the pine lands are of no account after the
timber is taken off for farming or any
other purpose. Let person fully in
formed regarding the comparative value
of this and other land 60 abroad and en-
deavor to convince, the people of what
this country is capable OF, and doubtless
he will be eonsidered a monomaniae upon
this subject 1t is only when, parties
come in from abroad and we hear. their
expressions of surprise and establishment
at the appearance of the country and
productions that we can fully realize

not intend to speak of this country any

The heavy rains throughout Southern
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky have made
it very difficult for farmers to harvest
their crops, and the result is that wheat
has grown in the shock and oats remain
uncut. The rainy season began about
June 20, and the amount up to July 20
had been ten inches. Thousands Of acres
of corn along the Ohio and Wabash Riv-
ers are under water and many of the
people are living in the upper stories of
their houses. Nothinglke it is said to
have been known in those sections for
thirty years.

now living. When he. was inaugurated,
the only survivor of the men who were

1t seems hardly necessary to enumerate
the benefits that this would be to the
place. It would make all this vast coun-
try south of us tributary to Cheboygan
for. the present and the future. The
sooner that the work is done the greater
viii be the advantages derived. If Che
boygan would be the business metropo-
lis Of the north, it must let no opportu-
nifty pass of opening up communication
with the interior, and making itself felt
in the Improvement of the country.
This work may be finished sometime
in the future by individual enterprise,
but it is not right that it should be, for its
benefits are of public nature. Should
we selfishly. wait. for this we will lose
some of the greatest advantages, and the
time will never come when they can be
regained. The Improvement is in such a
state now that a very few days would

permanent work could be proceeded
with as fast as practicable, only that it be
completed before winter. Is not this
work important enough that some means
be taken at once to have it pushed for

two to three months benefit Of it this
