a PROBABLE FAILURE-Tnfor-

the probabilities are the much

working on the road, and the bic
tie contract which was to have.
been let has dwindled to call for
tenders tor 1000 ties only, hardly
sufficient to lay three quarters of q

HEAVY FAILURE.

The Bank of California failed last week
with liabilities of upwards of SD, 100000,
and assets about half that amount. 1t
had been considered throughout the
whole country one of the most substan-
tial institutions. The failure is attributed
to the Encouragement of its president,
VIM. G. Ralston, and at meeting of the
directors on the 9th ult., he was re-
quested to resign, which he did. A few
hours later the city of San Francisco was
thrilled with the announcement that he
was dead-drowned; whether suicide
or not is not yet ascertained, probably a
suicide. Ralston was one of the most
public spirited men in the country, and
his death produced intense feeling. His
funeral last Monday was attended by
over twenty thousand persons. The eff
feet of the failure must be quite disas-
trous to the commercial interests Of Cali
fOrnia

CO.OPERATION.

Ever since its inception the TRIBUNE
has constantly labored to discriminate
Information regarding the resources of
Northern Michigan and the Importance
of Cheboygan IS its business center. We
have the pleasure of knowing
that the effects have already been felt.
Parties have come here to inspect the
country whose attention had thus been
attracted to it. This is only the COM
mencement of what the future will be.
All those who have been here have gone
away much surprised as well as pleased
with the place and its surroundings.
Those who come should be treated and
entertained in such a manner by our citi-
Gems as will render their visit pleasant
one, and going away will carry with them
pleasant recollections of the place and
its people. When people come here the
province of the newspaper ceases. The
mere getting them here is not enough.
They should be made to feel by their re-
ception that they are not in strange
land and among strangers. In this work
every citizen, whatever his station and
business, has a duty to perform that
should not be neglected. This work
should not be left for a few individuals to
do. There should be general co-opera-
ton among all citizens to see that not in
a single instance is this duty neglected.
1t may be that the governing motive
should be a higher one than selfishness,

WHAT Is NEEDED.

The towns and cities throughout the
country which have rapid and perma-
nent growth are those whose citizens
work tremendously together for the pur-
pose of securing that growth. The only
way to secure this necessary and general
cooperation is by forming an associa-
ton. There are great many large cities
which attribute their growth largely to
the work done by such associations.
Jackson some time since organized citi-
zens association specially charged with
the duty OF presenting the advantages of
that city to the notice of capitalists, and
inviting them to locate there and engage
in manufacturing or other business.
What is the result? Jackson to-day is
growing more rapidly than any other
city in Michigan. An association of this
nature is precisely what Cheboygan
needs to insure its permanent prosperity.
We trust that some action will soon be
taken looking towards the accomplish
ment of this important object.

vention on the Both ult., unanimously re-
solved to present William A. Galbrath, OF
that city, as candidate for Governor at
the coming State Convention, but Mr..

to allow the use of his name and will not
be candidate.
The Springfield Republican says that
s:the credit of preventing Matt Carpenter
from making fool of himself by going
to the soft money pow-wow at Detroit
is due to lack Chandler and John Sher-
man. That ineffable donkey of an ex-

ing a belief that the arguments used by
Chandler were of a pecuniary nature"
The Democrats of Oregon have been
left out in the cold by the consolidation
Of the Independent and Republican par
ties in that state. The declinatiOn Of Mr..
Whitney, Independent candidate for Con-
gress, has been accepted in good faith,
and it appears to be settled that the Re
publican candidate will receive the full
party vote. The result will probably be
a Republican victory.

but this is work which will pay and
pay largely-something that everybody
can appreciate. In reality there should
be some organized plan of operations.

just what this plan should be. Any way
which may be devised will meet with its
hearty support. 1t is only by all citizens
Interested in the Improvement of the
place and surrounding country working
together as one man that the greatest
results can be accomplished. We trust
that some interested party will take this
matter in hand and devise some organi-
cation which will have the effect Of pro-
ducing the above named results

THE CLOVER CROP.

In many sections of the country the
farmers depend upon the clover crop to
fertilize their land and to keep it in good
condition for crops. Glover is in reality
the most profitable crop that the farmer
can raise. for without it the other crops
are of very little value. 1t is the univer-
sal testimony of farmers that soil which
will produce good clover is always first
class farming land. One great objection
which is urged by farmers further south
against this as farming country, is that
clover would not stand the winters here,
and therefore there would be no cheap
method of keeping the soil in condition
for other crops. This belief is, and has
been, general for years. Actual demon
stration has proven beyond a doubt the
falsity of this idea. There is no place In
the stdtceohere clouer aoill do better than
5ra Cheboygan and adjoining counties. In
fact we do not believe that there is a
place where it does as well. In almost
every other section of the state clover is
an uncertain crop for two reasons. First,
the winters are of such nature that too
often the crop is injured or totally de-
stroyed; and. second, owing to the ex-
tremely hot and many times dry wea ther
shortly after the young plants are up in
the spring, they are often killed at that
time.
Here everything is different. Clover
is one of the most, if not the most, GER
tain crop that a farmer can raise. The
winter is never known to injure it. The
SHOWS come ON in the fall and remain
the entire winter. There are not those
sudden changes of freezing and thawing
which heave the clover roots out of the
ground and thus destroy them. The re-
suit is that the crop comes out in the
spring in splendid condition with sure
crop in the near future. This qpiu con-
ttraue as many gears as the farmer mag
choose to permit his field to remain seeded
This may seem an exaggerated statement
to those farmers who judge from their
own experience that clover will "run-
out" after two or three years. To the
doubling ones we would say, come and
see for yourselves. Fields of clover can be
seen in this vicinity which have been
seeded over twenty years, the growth OF
which is as strong and healthy as ever.
Clover grows equally we'll upon our
hardwood soils and upon the lighter and
more sandy portions. This shows that
the climate is peculiarly adapted to the
growth of this most important crop.

MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN.

The Detroit Tribune says that the re-
suit Of the recent state census in Wis
consin seems to indicate that that state,
so nearly equal to our own in area and
has since 1870 been increas-
ing in population at nearly the same rate
with our own. Between 1860 and 1870
Michigan outstipped Wisconsin, and,
whereas the latter had 26,66S more peo-
pie in 1860, it had 129,3S9 less in 1870.
At the last named date the population of
Michigan was l,1s4,O59, and that of Wis
consin 1,054,670. The census of Michi-
gan taken last year showed population
of 1880, Ill, an increase in fue years of
6,052, or 36,574 year. The census OF
Wisconsin which has just been COM
pleted shows population of 1896, 500,
which gives an average increase of 81,
$50 year. The race is close, it will be
seen, but Michigan holds her own, and a
little more.
