NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JANUARY l3, 1877.


Both Houses met Wednesday, the Sd
inst. and perfected their organization.
The Senate electing the nominees of the
Republican caucus by party vote of %
to s, as follows:
Secretary-James III. Stone.
Assistant Secretary-John l.. Frisbee.
Sergeant-at-arms-C III. Perkins.
Assistant-MoseS B. Houghtvn.
This makes the third term for Mr..
Stone as Secretary. which speaks well
for his efficiency in the position, and is a
deserving tribute to his taithfulness. We
understand that in each instance he has
been the unanimous nominee of the Re-
publican caucus upon the first ballot.
The House met, and n. A. Hamilton,
of Berrien, was chosen temporary Speak
er. AS announced in last weeks TRI-
BUNE, John L. Rich, of Lapeer, was
elected permanent Speaker, receiving
II votes to % votes for E. +. Conely, of
Wayne, the Democratic nominee for the
position. Mr.. Rich is well-tO-do farm
er of Lapeer county, anil is serving his
third term in the Legislature, and has
served on several of the most important
committees, discharging his duties with
ability. lie is conceded to possess con-
siderable parliamentary knowledge and
will, doubtless, discharge the duties of
Speaker ably and impartially.
Daniel l.. Crossman, Clerk of the last
House, was reelected to the position by
a strict party vote, receiving 72 votes to
% for his Democratic opponent, Isaac G..
Wooden. of Bay. The reelection OF Mr..
Crossman would indicate satisfactory
performance of his duties during the last
session.
crossing and Enrolling Clerk. receiving
81 votes to % for Geo. w. Chandler, the
Democratic nominee.
Thursday, Governor Bagley's message
was read, and on Friday Governor Cros-
we'll delivered his inaugural. Both were
able documents. and both the retiring
and incoming Governor confinel himself
to state affairs.
The Republican Senatorial caucus was
held in Representative Hall Wednesday,
Sd inst. and was attended by all the Re
publican members of the Legislature,
with the exception of two who had not
mously re-nominated by acclamation, he
receiving hearty support from all por-
tions of the state.
Friday both Houses adjourned until
O'Clock last Tuesday evening, for the
purpose of giving the presiding officers
time to make up their committees.

The Mail Route.

The postofice department at Washing
ton has written that the mail may be
brought through from Petoskey with
out stopping at the Mullet lake office.
This will be quite an advantage to our
citizens, as it will enable the stage to
arrive during the winter from an hour
and half to two hours earlier than it
otherwise would, and in the summer
time, and especially when the roads are
bad, the advantage will be much greater.
The contractor, however, is obliged to
deliver the mail at the Mullet lake office
three times each week. This arrange
ment will shorten the route several
miles. and lessen the tediousneSs of the
trip over the route to the travelling pub
lie just that much, while it will be no
great Inconvenience to those residing i'm
the Mullet lake region, and receiving
their mail from that office. This con-
cession of the department will, no doubt,
be appreciated by our citizens, but we
think they might give us a daily mail.
The importance of the place and this re-
gion of the state demand it. and we be-
lieve that with the proper effort it could
be secured.

Dangerous.

Although teams have been crossing
the straits for several days. the ice is not
altogether safe. and great care should be
taken by those venturing over. Last
Saturday. Mr.. LelOt, the mail carrier. got
his horse and sleigh i'm, and on Sunday,
Mr.. Joseph Burns was unfortunate
enough TO have his team break through.
1t seems that n considerable portion Of
the ice has been formed by the ice piling
up in layers and freezing. In some
places the under layers have been washed
or worn away by the current, thus
leaving a shell of ice up from the water
and consequently having no chance to
to accumulate thickness, and it is these
places that are extremely dangerous.
The quantity Of snow upon upon the ice
also has tendancy to prevent additional
ice forming. and the dangerous spots
from being discovered. Until plain
and safe track has been marked out be-
tween this place and the island it would
be we'll for those crossing to take extra
precaution. Mr.. Lelot came very near
getting in last Tuesday, but discovered
the danger in time to avoid it.

Inland Route steamer.

Mr.. S. III. jerks, of IOnia, was in the
village this week with model OF steam.
er which he thinks would be just the
thing for the inland route. The model
is of a side-wheel steamer with fiat
bottomed hull. and a cabin running near
the full length. Mr.. jerks claims that
when loaded it would not draw to ex
ceed twenty inches or two feet Of water
The boat is to be provided with two
engines. which are so arranged that by
the use of lever they can be made to
work Independently. thus enabling the
boat to turn in a very short space, as one
wheel could be backing while the other
was working in the opposite direction.
Those of our citizens who examined the
model were very favorably impressed
with its utility and its adaptability to the
route. Mr.. jerks expected to have met
with Mr.. Page, the general passenger
and ticket agent Of the Grand Rapids &
Indiana roiroad, at this place, but failed
to do so, and consequently made his visit
shorter than he otherwise would. Being
anxious to confer with Mr.. Page. and
learning that he contemplateda trip to In
dianapOlis, Mr.. jerks left for Grand Rap
ids 10 see him before he should leave. and
the matter, so far as this place is concern
ed was let open for further cOnsidera-
ton.

ACall for Aid.

A letter has been received by the ed
itor of the TRIBUNE which states that
there arc a number of families residing
on the west side of Burt lake, in this
county, who are greatly in need Of help
at the present time. The following
named families are especially mentioned:
Mat Kink, wife and two children, two of
them sick ; Edward Wilber. with fam
lily of six children; David WILDER and
NJ. Crawford. also with family of six
children. Rev. John Redpath, Of Pc
toskey, endorses the application for aid
and says that he knows the NEIL. and
hopes that some immediate action be
taken for their relief.
This is something that should receive
the attention of our citizens. Some ac-
ticn should be taken whereby their
wants could be supplied. We are conf
dent that our citizens will not allow any
deserving families to suffer for the want
of the necessaries Of life. But there
should be some organization effected, in
order that contributions could be prop
erly distributed. and the needs of the set
tiers looked after. The want of any
definite information as to any suffering
in this county has prevented any concert
of action upon the part of our citizens,
but here are the above eases. and they
should be looked after at once, and their
wants administered to according to their
necessities.

Mexican War Veterans.

There will be grand reunion of the
soldiers and sailors who served in the war
with Mexico, held at Grand Rapids next
Tuesday, afternoon, commencing at
o'clock. Those who are not enrolled in
the state organization, who desire TO
join are requested to be present. Re-
duced rates are expected on all railroads
for those having state or national badges,
and it is hoped all will be in attendance.
Matters of Importance to those partici-
pating i'm that war will be brought be-
fere the association. and a good time
socially is anticipated.

The New Bridge.

AS will be seen from the proceedings of
the Town Board of Benton, held last
Saturday night, and from the notice to
contractors in other portions Of this is
sue, the bridge question has assumed a
definite shape. The elaborate and de-
tailed plan drawn by Geo. w. Bell, Esq !,
has been adopted by the Board, and pro-
posals for its construction are ADVERTISED
for.
The total length of the bridge. includ-
ing approaches and bridge proper or
swing. is to be 1863 feet. The swing to
he 135 feet in length. giving a clear chan
mel on each side when swung of 90 feet.
The approach on the west side TO be l5O
feet in length, and the one on the east
side 7S feet. This will bring the east
side of the east channel about where that
side of the present channel is situated.
thus getting the full benefit OF the pres
ent channel 1t is the intention. for the
present, to use only that one channel, the
west channel requiring a considerable
amount of dredging, and the removing
OF distractions, such as the old docks
above and below the bridge. The one
channel will afford sufficient facilities for
passage for the present, and the expendi-
ture required to complete the other can
be deferred until such timefas the ne
cessitles of business upon the river de-
mand it.
Mr. Bell spent considerable time and
labor upon the preparation of the plan.
and the manner in which it was drawn
reflects great credit upon him, and the
minutedetail presented in the plan would
indicate that he had thoroughly investi-
gated the subject and given it much
thought, and the fact that the Board
made so few changes, and those of minor
Importance. in his plan as drawn is evi-
dence that he had mastered the subject
and presented just such Il plan as would
meet with the appreciation of.all.
| Il is designed TO have the entire worl,
completed by the first of june next
Proposals will be received for both 4
wooden and iron bridge, but it is the de-
sign to have an iron swing if it can be
built and not exceed the amount appro-
priatcd. Proposals will be received un-
/ til o'clock p. u, Thursday, February
18th. 1877. Full particulars can be as-
certained by reading the notice to con-
| tractors in another column.

Town Board.

A meeting of the Town Board of Ben
ton township was held at the office of
Geo. w. Bell, Esq, last Saturday night,
for the purpose of considering the bridge
question and take some action upon the
plan drawn by Mr.. Bell.
Present-Justices Sutton, Summons
and Stevenson. Supervisor Kezar, Il. j.
Crumley, Highway Commissioner, and s.
Harris Embury, Town Clerk.
. The plan of the approaches and bridge
proper, was taken up in detail and fully
discussed by the members of the Board,
and each separate part acted upon singly.
The result was the adoption of the plan
as presented by Mr.. Bell, with the ex-
ception of few alterations and additions
in some of the minor details which the
Board thought would add to the durabil-
ity of the structure.
1t was decided by the Board TO let the
contract in three different sections. One
to consist of the approaches on each side
of the bridge and the removing the pres
ent bridge and approaches, another sec
ton to be the building of the pier for
the bridge to swing upon and fender for
protection of the bridge when swung. and
the other for the bridge proper. The
Board decided to advertise for proposals
for both wooden and iron bridge. The
wooden bridge to be of the Howe truss
plan, with tower support.
The Commissioner of Highways was
authorized to advertise in both the viii
lage papers for proposals for furnishing
the material and doing the work upon
each section, the same to be received up
to the 18th day of February, the Com
missioner to reserve the right TO reject
any or all bids.
Upon motion, the Board voted to allow
Mr.. Bell the sum of 1925 for his services
and expenses incurred in investigating
the different plans for bridges, and draw
ing plans, specifications, sc.
htZaI Stdteit lilttO MIS Il
gan was unable to pay the taxes upon
her house and lot, and suggested that the
Board take some action for her relief. A
motion was made and adopted that al
order be drawn upon the treasurer fol
the amount.
Mr.. KeZar also stated that Mr.. M
Chandler had been taxed on about double
the amount of the value of his personal
property, and thought the Board should
reduce the amount to be paid. The
matter was fully discussed by the Board
and resolution adopted that Mr.. Chan
der's tax be reduced to S75.
1t was stated to the Board that Mr.
Isaac Strewart had been assessed upon
his personal property in both Inverness
and Benton. Mr.. Kezar was authorized
to confer with the Supervisor of Inver-
ness and see what arrangement could be
made between the two towns TO adjust
the matter so that no injustice might be
done Mr.. Stewart.
Upon motion, the Board adjourned.

senator Christiancy Robbed.

Senator Christiancy was robbed on a
train between Michigan and Washington
not long ago of $500, some valuable pa
pers, and his baggage check. The thieves
presented this last ut Baltimore and were
given his trunk, and the Senator conse-
quently arrived at Washington without
money or wardrobe. He Immediately
drew his mileage and months pay, and
that night was again robbed, the bur-
glars carrying away what clothes were
lett him with 5000 he had just drawn re-
posing in the pockets. This is what
might be called putting it on pretty
thick. 1t is to be hoped that the thief or
thieves may be caught, made to disgorge
and be punished
