Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-03-25

The TRIBUNE feels somewhat like re-
tracing many things it has said regard
ing the "patent' process of publishing
newspapers. 1t has come to the conclu-
sion that there is some good In them af-
ter all. One of the patent publishing
firms has done the TRIBUNE and this
county a good turn, and We desire to ex-
press our obligations therefor. There is
one advantage about~the patent papers
that cannot be denied. and that is, when
an article is printed upon its patent side,
it has an extended circulation, for it takes
run through all the papers published
by that firm. which, in the case of the
Chicago companies, amounts to having
an article printed in several hundred diff
ferent newspapers. Of course this man
ner of conducting journal does not
make first class local paper, but as an
advertising medium it cannot we'll be ex-
celled.
1t has been the aim of the TRIBUNE
since its foundation to publish such q
class of news, as would be extensively
copied by other papers and thereby bring
this region Of country prominently be-
fore the public. We have no hesitancy
i'm saying, that although the TRIBUNE as
yet is not a year old, it is the most extern
sively quoted from of any paper in Nor
thern Michigan, and with one or two ex-
ceptions in the entire state, and III this
manner Cheboygan and this section of
the state has become more widely known
than ever bef,re. The people of Che
boygan cannot appreciate too highly the
advantages that will accrue to the place
in this manner.
1t is for giving wide circulation to
matters condensed from the TRIBUNE re-
gaIding the advantages Of this country,
in connection with the inland navigation
project, that we are indebted to Kellogg's
auxiliary print OF Chicago. Mr.. Kellogg
supplies the outsides for nearly one thou
sand country papers, and this article is
undoubtedly printed in then of them.
The following extract is the commence
ment of the article:
In Cheboygan and Emmett counties is
chain of charming lakes and rivers, fed
by the clear. cool springs of that region,
which afford a somewhat Distracted in
land steamboat navigation of about fifty
miles, starting at the growing anti enter
prising city OF Cheboygan and passing
through ChebOygan river, distance of
about six miles into the beautiful waters
of Mullett's lake, more than dozen miles
long by two to- four in width, through
Indian river into B,lrt's lake, whose wa
ters are equal in beauty and size TO Null
let's lake, thence through Crooked river
into Crooked lake, a steamer penetrates
TO within league of the waters of Little
Traverse bay. No region i'm the state at
fords finer water than the trout brooks
which empty into these lakes and rivers,
which are alive with finny tribes of supe-
rior excellence for table use. The region
is timbered with superior maple, piue anG
C bar, and is rich in Il most excellent and
productive soil, and will, and does now,
when cultivated, grow fruits. roots and
cereals tf remarkable qualities and in
large quantities.
Then follows description of the inn
provements now under contract as taken
from the TRIBUNE. If the beauties and
advantages of this section of the state can
be fully given to the public, the summer
travel here, as well as the settlements,
will be large. We are always glad to see
these advantages IS given in the TRIBUNE
extensively copied into other Journals.
