New Road.

We learn ftom the Petoskey Democrat
that MIR. j. A. T. Wendell, of Mackinaw,
was in that village last week talking up
project of a wagon road direct from Petos-
key to Mackinaw City. Such road Of
course would be an accommodation to those
who wish to go direct from one point to
the other, and to quite large number Of
settlers who are near the line of the pro-
posed road. 1t is probable If such road
was to be bnilt, it would have to be at the
expense of the state and we have our
doubts about the state being willing at
present to take hold of the matter. We
do not believe in holding out inducements
that we can see but little prospect of be.
ing fulfilled. The road would be of great
benefit to large section Ofcountry, but
it is one the necessities Of which cannot
be made so apparent as many others in
the state,

Since our issue of last week, the aspect
of affairs regarding the crooked wheat
have changed considerably. On Sunday
the insurance agent, Kennedy, returned,
bringing with him Deputy U. S. Mar
shall, John Horn, of Detroit. On Mon
day he proceeded to take possession of
all crooked wheat he could get track of,
and citing the holders to appear before
the U. s. court in Detroit, and show their
claims to the wheat. Quite number
of loads came over Monday, on their way
to mill to get ground. This was also
taken possession of by the Marshal, and
the unhappy holders compelled to I'M
load and go back empty handed. We
understand that quite number of par
ties with loads We're notified of the trou-
bic before they arrived. and turned back,
thus saving the wheat for while at
least.
On Tuesday the Marshal went to Mack
inaw to take possession of all that was
there. On account of the storm he
has not yet returned; therefore we can
not give an account Of the proceedings
there. Most of the wheat there was
held by Mr.. Dingman.
The wheat in possession of Mr. Stock
bridge, which caused the trouble here
last week, was also taken possession of
by the Marshal.
We understand that Mr.. Stockbridge,
who arrived here Thursday night, is
satisfied with the wheat in the hands of
the Marshal, for, as he says, he would as
soon sell the wheat that way rs any
other; but he considered the first at
tempt to get possession of it considera-
bly, g crooked
Had the legal course been taken last
week to obtain possession of the wheat,
there would have been no such runors
about town rs there Were, and Mr.. Ken
nedy, the insurance agent, would have
commanded much more respect The
right way of transacting business is gen.
orally the best way in the end.

Opening of Navigation.

There is prospect that navigation will
open unusually early this season. There
is but little ice, either on Lake Michigan
or Huron. The ice in the straits is about
eighteen inches thick, but it has been
partially broken up several times, and
it will not take long for the warm winds
which have prevailed this season to rot
it. Some predict that the straits will be
open the first of next month, but the
vessel men do not expect it much before
the 10Th. The indications are, judging
from reports in the Chicago papers, that
the season will be as dull as last. No
grain charters have yet been made, and
the dry-docks report very little rebuild
ing or repairing done. Navigation is al
ready reported open on Lake Erie, and
vessels running.
Since the above was written the pros
poets are not so favorable.

A Cable In Prospect.

We learn that the Mackinaw people
feel quite sure that Geographic cable
will be laid during the coming season
from the Point to the Island. This is a
matter which is highly important, not
only to the citizens of Mackinaw, but to
the numerous visitors who spend the
simmer there. Should the cable be laid
efforts will be made to secure the estab-
lishment of signal station at that point,
which will probably be successful. A
signal station is matter of great impor-
lance to the commerce of the lakes, and
should be established at some point on
the straits Immediately. If it's not es-
tablished at Cheboygan, it should be at
Mackinaw; and the cable should be laid
tor that purpose without.delay.

Railroad Runor.'

The rumor which had gained credence
over at Mackinaw, the early part of the
week, that the State Board would have
a meeting last Wednesdayssnight, for the
purpose Of making contract with the
company headed by Capt. Craw, for the
building Of the Marquette & Mackinaw
railroad, is doubtless unfounded. We
have very little faith that Mr.. Craw has
any real intention to build the entire
road, and we are quite sure that no con-
tract has been entered into as yet.

Compliment to our Railroad Laws. !,

The Lansing Republican says the COM
missioner of railroads lately received a
letter, saying that 'sas a modification OF
the railroad laws Of Great Britain is med
itated, and as the laws of Michigan on
this subject have been quoted as very
complete few copies of these laws Were
desired as an aid in the work mentioned.
They were gladly sent by MIR. Cobb. 1t
is quite compliment to have this state,
of only forty years existence, sought as
ouide i'm railroad law to the ancient king
dom of Great Britain, where railroads
originated.

The jackson, Lansing & Saginaw Railroad

The jackson Patriot says thatthe Off GERS
of the j., L. 81 S. railroad have decided
not to hold an election this year, but per-
NIT the present board of directors to hold
over. The road is doing heavy freight
ing business just now, lumber traffic hav-
ing begun two months earlier than usual
owing to low stocks i'm market. If there
should be any prospect Of the speedy
building of the Mackinaw & Marquette
railroad, the j., L. s. S. would at once
push on its line to Mackinaw.

Range LIGHTS.

Although the prospects are that an
appropriation will be made by Congress
to erect range lights in our harbor, it
can hardly be expected that they can be
completed to be of any use this season.
This renders it absolutely necessary that
Cheboygan takes some action to have
suitable temporary lights kept up until
these can be completed. They should
be maintained in better condition than
lastyear to be of any great benefit. In
our opinion, this is matter the village
council should take in hand. The ex-
pense would not be heavy, and should,
we think, be borne by the village. Let
the next council take action upon the
subject, so as to have all arrangements
made before the opening of navigation.

ANOTHER DAY OF BLAZING HEAT.

Hot weather for the Fourth of July has come
TO be regarded as nseparabe from the day and people
