Water Works.

The subject Of water works for
the city of Alpena is the one now
before the people, and propositions
have been submitted to the Coun-
Gil, but as yet no action has been
taken. We are sure that no sane
man will attempt to deny the fact
that the city of Alpena is much in
need of some means by which the
many citizens may he supplied
with good, pure water; but 1t is
pure water that we want and that,
we believe, can only be got from
the bay. The talk of taking water
from the dam and running it
through filters to supply this city,
when there is so much good water
60 close at hand, seems to us too
much like some, grand scheme for
getting the city to pay handsomely
for something that would in time
he a curse to the inhabitants. If
the people want filtered water,
they can get filters and procure
water from the swamps and shallow
wells, and we believe II would an
swer the purpose as well as the
river water from the dam, which.
on examination, Is found to possess
countless numbers Of PARTICLES OF de-
caying filth in a single drop. Why
not run the dam water through a
sieve to catch the dead insects. tad
poles, frogs, etc. : We believe that
there are parties who will give the
city good water works, and bring
the water from the bay, and we
trust that the Common Council Of
Alpena will never look favorsbly
upon any proposition for water
works until We can have those that
will be Of value, unless they are
looking for water Tor yrotsst:ca

10 favor Of Michigan, rs shown BY
the agricultural report: Wher
wheat averaged 81 III in Michigan
10 Kansas it averaged Sc. Corn il
Michigan 52c in Kansas 24c. Oats
in Michigan 45c; in Kansas 22c.
Potatoes 10 Michigan 72r; in Kan
sas Soc. In fact Michigan is set
down as one Of the very best States
in the union for agricultural pur-
suits, while Kansas ranks about the
9th.
1t is not all milk and honey in
Kansas, and parties who go there
with the expectation of sitting in
the shade and having the dollars
roll in to them by the cart load, are
going to be somewhat disappointed.
Ia fact there is not part of the
country on this whole continent
where a man can do any better at
farming than he can in Alpena
county, and when any one leaves
here to look for better localities he
makes one grand mistake.

Detroit Free Press.

When the Detroit Free Press Of
June 9, came TO hand, we were un-
der the impression that mistake
had been made by the postal au-
thorities, and that we had received
three or four Daily Free Presses.
On examining the bulky package
we found that it was a single Daily
Free Press containing thirty-two
six column pages--an enterprise
we believe, that has never been ex-
celled by any newspaperin America.
Besides the above there was also q
four PACED four columned House
hold supplement. Of the one hun
dred and ninety-two columns con-
tanned in the daily, ninety-five
columns were advertisements. It It's
tho first number of the Daily Free
Press printed on its new Bullock
press from stereotype plates, and
the managers determined to cele-
hrate the event by astonishing and
pleasing their patrons, and they
did. The Bullock press will print
$4,000 complete copies of the pa
per, and fold them, in an hour.
With it's new dress and improved
shape of eight pages, the Detroit
Free Press can not help Int be-
come more of a favorite with the
people of Michigan than ever.
