The CONTRACT Let.

The contract for diverting the course
of Sturgeon river into Burt lake and thus
securing navigation into Burt and Crook
ed lakes was let last week by the Local
Commissioner to Mr. Alfred j. West. of
Capac, Mich, he being the lowest bidder
for the work. The necessity OF making
this ''cut, off, to prevent the inflow OF
sand into Indian river was fully exam
ined by the different members of the
State Board of Control, and was de-
cided that it was the only certain way If
the desired result. The
Board of Control therefore made the i.cc-
essary appropriation and the contract was
awsrded as above. The contract price
is 5000. Mr.. West. the contractor, is a
man of large experience in this kind of
business. and amply qualified 70 Judge
of the difficulties and how to overcome
them, It. is the expectation that he will
commence the work Immediately and
complete it this fall il possible. 1t is
very desirable that it shall be done as
quick as it can be. Local Commissioner
Chandler was in town and out upon the
river several days the early part of the
week making the necessary arrangements
tor its commencement. Although it
would have been much better had the
work been done year ago, still we are
glad to know that it is a certainty now.

The schooner james Norris, of St.
called in at this port last
Monday evening to report. The captain
reports that he was run into Sunday
night by steam barge having tow-barges
in tow. The accident happened twelve
or fifteen miles this side of Thunder bay
light. The. night was dark, and a thick
fog prevailed. The captain claims that
he kept his fog horn blowing at regular
intervals, but that he heard nothing of
the fog whistle on the steam barge, and
was not aware of the near proximity of
any craft until he discovered her lights,
and saw that she was bearing down
upon him. He Immediately shifted his
helm, and changed the course of his ves-
sci, so that the barge struck the schooner
a glancing blow upon the bow. He sup
posing from the severity of the blow that
his vessel was seriously injured, called
out to the captain of the barge to stop
and pick them up, but no attention was
paid them, and the barge and tow passed
on down. Fortunately the damage &c
the schooner was not so great as he sup
posed, some of the forward planking be-
ing started and his mainsail torn. Hao
the barge struck the vessel as her course
when discovered indicated, she woul(
have undoubtedly cut her in two. Th'

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1877.


The Port Huron correspondent of the
Detroit Post and Tribune, under date OF
October 13, says: "The report of the
wreck of the wrecking tug Prindiville,
mentioned by me yesterday, but to
which credence was not given, proves to
be true in every particular. The Prindi-
vile started from ChebOygan, as stated
in dispatch to her owner, Mr.. Geo. E.
Brockway, yesterday, to go to the rescue
of the schooner Portland, ashore near
Pressure Isle, and had her lighter, the
schooner ID. Provost, i'm tow. When in
the vicinity OF Presque Isle she burst her
steam-pipe. She was close i'm shore, the
wind was blo"inga gale, and the sea
running high. The quantity Of steam
escaping was so great as to enyelOp her
in a.cloud, through which it was impos-
sible to see, and she drifted helpiessly
toward the beach, and went OH. The
vessel, being of a lighter draft, went
nearer shore on fhe beach, and was scut-
tied to save her from pounding to pieces.
1t WAS at once evident to those on board
the tug that she was doomed to 90 to
pieces, and the yawl boat was launched
and headed fOr the beach, having OIL
board Capt. Cyrus Sinclair's wife and
two children and several of the crew to
manage The boat. They reached shore
i'm safety, but were unable for two hours
to relaunch the boat to rescue those re-
naming on board. By superhuman eff
forts, however, they managed to get her
aflOat and rescued the remainder of the
crew, who were by this time in peril
Gus situation. The tug was breaking
up, and her upper works washed off and
and went to pieces. Her fan-tail also
broke up with the heavy sea, and she is
doubtless by this time total wreck
The crew got ashore without saving a
particle of their clothing, anu Mrs. Sim
clair and children were only half dressed.
They were kindly cared for by Mr.. Sims,
who lives at PreSQue Isle, and who made
every eXertiOn for their comfort. They
arrived down on the propeller st. Al

important to Lumbermen.


AS our lumbermen are making their
for their winters work, we
would call their attention the fact that
when tobacco is kept IN camp, to be de-
Iivered to the men when called tor. that
a license should be taken out for that
purpose no matter how small quantity
may be sold. If return is not made
tor such tax, or license, during the
mouth i'm which they commence to sell
tobacco penalty of fifty dollars will be
added to the amount required for a IL
cense. We would recommend all who
intend keeping tobacco in camp to sup
ply their men that they may make
prompt application for a license and thus
save the additional penalty. ru

The Rosc.Do1glass SUIT.

The Lansing Republican says DIR.
Rose and r. A. Beal, defendants in the
detalcation suit, have petiiioncd the cir
cult court for re-hcaring on the ground
that Judge HuntingtOn's decision is err
roneous in 30 different particulars. They
claim that Prof. Douglass is liable for
the whole and every part of the delin-
auency. The reason given by the Ann
Arbor Courier tor not appealing this
case to the supreme court is that Judge
Huntingdon decision does not determine
the amounts due, but only lays down
rules for calculating those amounts. and
is therefore not final, and not in shape to
be appealed from.

Some Suggestions About am AErfcul.

The TRIBUNE has repeatedly urged
upon the citizens of this county the i'm
portance of forming All agricultural So
ciety. Had this been done so as to have
had all exhibition of the crops raised in
the county the present year, the result
would haye astonished our own citizens.
Few OF us, however much We may be-
lieve i'm resources of the county, fully re-
alize the amount and quality of the crops
which have been raised here. We all de-
sire that the county should become rap
idly improved. 1t We could show to the
Outsiur "v-ia-Anr ornns- ami thEs con-
vince them by actual observation of the
agricultural resources of the county, IL
would be flooded with settlers who
would desire to secure a home and COM
potency here. This can he done bsst
through an agricultural society. Then,
i'm connection, we would suggest that
some suitable person be selected from the
society and sent to the state fair with
samples of all our crops, and proper
statements of their growth, and be ex-
hibiteI as "ChebOysan County Produc-
tions." A show Of crops grown here
could be thus made, which would be OF
inestimable benefit to the future of the
county. We mention this matter thus
early so that Our people can see the i'm
portance of the project, and see that
measures are taken to carry it out. There
coald be no better way devised to adver-
tise and spread the knowledge OF the re-
sources OF this county.

Last Tuesday Capt. ChaS. E.. Kirkland,
with the wrecker I.eviatban, started 10
The assistance OF two vessels which he
had heard were aground on Middle island.
While going down, at Presque Isle, Capt.
Kirkland discovered the schooner Port
land ashore. Running along side of her
he found that the captain had gone to
Alpena to telegraph her owners the con-
dition of the vessel and get instructions.
The mate who was left in charge of the
vessel refused to take the responsibility
Of making any arrangement with Capt.
Kirkland tor the Portland's relief. Fully
realizing the great danger that the
schooner was in, and the weather
ut the time being favorable,
Capt. Kirkland then proposed to place
steam pumps upon the Portland, raise
her and take her to a place of safety
without making any charge against the
vessel, trusting that the insurance COM
panies having risks upon the vessel and
cargo would pay him for the time and
expense incurred, and if they did not he
would have the satisfaction OF knowing
that he had saved large amount Of
property. Strange to say the mate re-
fused to accept the generous proposition.
The result was what Capt. Kirkland pre-
dicted. The storm came up again and
both vessel and cargo became a total
loss. The effect that the action Of the
captain i'm leaving the vessel and mate
in refusing the proposed relief,
vessel will have upon the insurance we
cannot tell, but we know that such con-
duct as Capt. Kirtland's should not pass
unnoticed, and we are certain that it will
be appreciated by both the insurance
companies and the owners of the vessel,
Notwithstanding he failed to accomplish
his purpose The Portland was loaded
with salt.
