Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1877-09-26

A ride to the burnt Lands" of
Long Rapids will do more to dis
pell the doubts regarding the sue
cess of farming in Alpena county,
than anything else a person can do,
and the traveller, il he be of an OBJ
servant mind, will return with the
fact firmly fixed in his mind, that
Alpena has not, by long ways,
begun to reach the height of her
prosperity. He will also have a
firm conviction left in his mind,
that there are thousands Of acres
of valuable farming lands, as yet
undeveloped, waiting for the adj
vent of the enterprising farmer, to
produce abundant crops Of wheat,
oats, vegetables, etc. He will also
be surprised at the vast improve
ments that have been made in the
short space Of six years.
From Alpena to Trowbridge's
dam, O distance Of about seven
miles, the land, adjoining the road,
is almost all unoccupied, and, at
present. is a wild looking burning.
The soil is yellowish sand, but il
has been proved to be able to pro-
duce good crops. As proof, the
farms of C. w. Richardson, James
A. Case, and others will conviuc-
ingly testify to. These farms are
near the city. Back from the road
the soil is of q heavier nature, par.
taking of a clayey character. The
land on both sides of the road has
been numbered over 10 the years
gone by, and most of the heavy tim.
Der thus removed, while fires run
ming over the land, has destroyed
what remained, making 1t an easy
job, in comparison with Its former
condition, to clear up and put in I
shape at for cultivation The M

A Narrow Escape.

But few people are aware, says
the Bay City Tribune of the 10Th
inst, that on the night Of the Bird
inst, the steamer Dunlap had
narrow escape from being sent to
the bottom of Saginaw Bay by COL
lision with one of the floating mon
sters which make periodical visits
to this port for salt for Chicago and
Milwaukee.
On the night in question Mon
day. the Dunlap was on her down
trip from Alpena and somewhat
late. A few miles beyond the can
buoy, and while the steamer was
swinging to get in range of the river
lights, Capt. Brown noticed large
propeller coming towards him, and
he sounded two whistles, indicating
that he would take the starboard
side This proper course under the
navigation rules), and the propeller
answered with two whistles. AS
the boats neared each other, how
ever, the propeller attempted to
cross the Dunlap's bows, and Capt.
Brown then sounded one whistle
and put the wheel over to take the
port side. The propeller again at
tempted to cross the steamers
bows, and Capt. Brown was forced,
in order to avoid collision, to stop
and back the Dunlap. Thisprompt
action alone prevented a collision
which would have sent the Dunlap
to the bottom in few minutes, as
she was flying light and the pom
derous weight of the deeply laden
propeller. coming as she was at the
rate of about eight miles an hour,
would have crushed her like an
egg-shell. There were quite a
number of passengers on the steam
err, hut, happily, none were on deck
to witness the scene. Capt. Bown
;.ro.,ooJ o,r ro,,ortar of the Oc-
currence, and said that he drew a
long breath when he rang the bells
to "stop" and "back hard" as the
accident was so narrowly averted
as to send q chill through his sys-
tenn. The identity of the "wild'
craft is not exactly known, hut it
is said that she was one of the Com
mercial line.

thing in orerd will, we presume,

sinking It to a depth sufficient to
carry off the water from that Sec
