The convict Miles, the Barre, bank rob-
her, has sent to- Il Washington cores
pendent the statement that the contrac-
tor in the closet of the room where the
district safe was broken open, was
Evans, and the party he conferred with
at the hotel was Gen. Babcock. The
burglar Benton was promised $4,000 Ey
Harrington to stick to the story that
Alexander hired him to commit the burg
larry, and the terms OF agreement with
Mites were that he was not to be arrested
by detectives or others. Miles says Bah
cock got up the whole thing to break up
the investigation into alleged false
measurement.

Range Lights.

The government light house supply
steamer, Warrington, was in this port on
Saturday, having on board the officers
who are to inspect and determine upon
the location and style of the range lights
to be erected here. We did not learn
what, if any, decision was arrived at.
There seems to be a great many diverse
opinions among our own citizens upon
the subject. We presume, however. that
those having experience i'm such matters
will have very little difficulty in decid-
ing what will be for the best interests of
the harbor. 1t is to be hoped that they
will be pushed forward to completion in
season to be of service by the opening of
navigation in the spring.

A special dispatch in the Detroit pa
pers few days since, announcing that
the steam barge NJ. Mills had sbroken
the key to her jibboom," doubtless con-
veyed shudder to hundreds of mariners
and horror to thousands inland who have
comparatively little knowledge concern
ing marine phraseology. Had it been
the glib key of her connecting rod Or
some other not very well known part of
her machinery that gave way, it would
not have been so bad, but the breaking
of the key to her jibboom! The thought
of it curtlles the blood and makes one
think of those awful ocean disasters.
Steps should at once be taken to render
such accidents hereafter impossible.
Every captain should be provided with
an extra key so that he could wind up
the boom in any event. They should al
so be prohibited taking the jibboom
ashore. perhaps to leave it at their board
ing house or forget it at the theater.
And. as 10 leak can be stopped without
the aid of a jibboom. let it be penal of
tense for any of the crew to steal or dam
age the key. However, for the relief OF
the public mind we would say that not
withstanding the nature of the accident
she succeeded in reaching this port i'm
the early part Of the week, after cargo
of lumber. and from her appearance an
inexperienced eye would not have sup
posed that she had passed through such
an ordeal.

any intimation, the party, consisting of
neighbors and friends to the number of

were heartily welcomed and it was not

We understand w. II. Ware is meeting
with success in canyassing for his history
of Cheboygan.
Yesterday was a field day for the n.
t. boats here. During the day there
was four of them in the river-one go
ing up and three going down.
Jos. Affair is mad. A cow got into his
cabbage patch last night and destroyed
the crop, in which he had taken much
pride. From the appearance of the cab
bages, it is thought that it must have
the work OF the cross-eyed cow. This is
another outrage for the Republican party
to answer for.
In accordance with resolution passed
at the last meeting of the council the
lookup yard has been cleared up. For
some reason, bestLnown to the one doing
the work, large pile of the rubbish was
placed against the side Of the building
facing the street. The back side of the
building would have been more appro-
pirate.
Bears are quite numerous in this vi
cinity at present. We hear of them be-
ing seen in almost every direction. Yes
terday Mrs. Jos. Dcmaro started to take
her husbands dinner to him. and upon
entering an oat field she discovered three
large bears. Not wishing to encounter
them, she returned to her home, locked
the door and set the dogs on the bears.
Since the completion of navigation i'm
provements as far as Crooked lake be-
came certainty, almost every acre OF
state and government land around and
in the vicinity of Crooked lake has been
taken up. This includes some of the
best farming lands in this section of the
state This Improvement viii! double
the value of every acre Of land III that
section.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-09-23

In section 50, west, between Burt and
Crooked lakes. there is section of as
fine land as there is in Cheboygan coun-
ty. This land has been nearly all taken
by homesteaders, who are, at present, en-
gagged in erecting buildings and improv-
ing their farms. Thus far the trade of
these people has mostly gone to Petos-
key, they having cut road through to
that place. This trade would naturally
come to Cheboygan. and would. provided
any efforts were made to secure it. The
improvement already completed at the
entrance of Burt lake makes communi-
cation to them direct by water. All that
is needed to secure this trade-nOt only
for the present, but all the future-is to
construct few miles of road from the in
terror to the landing on the lake shore.
The expense, compared with the benefit
to be derived, would be nothing. This
peninsular, formed by Burt lake, Crooked
river and Crooked lake, is bound to be
one of the garden spots of the county.
In oIr opinion, all kinds of fruit can be
successfully and profitably grown there,
while for all kinds of farm crops it will
be unexcelled. The opening of naviga-
ton will give this place an opportunity
OF securing permanently all this trade,and
immediate steps should be taken to ac-
complish it. Once secured, it will always
remain with lis, and increase every year.
We trust that the proper township Off
GERS will take the matter in hand; but if
they do not our citizens should interest
themselves, for Chehoygan should lose
no opportunity of gaining such an i'm
pOrtant advantage.
