~ powerful TO De Oh very mucn service
i'm aiding vessels to enter the harbOr. If
the night is any way hazy OF thick they
are OF no account whatever. We believe
if this matter is looked after that the
proposed ranges by the government
could be had at an early date, and in time
to serve navigation the greater portion
OF the season.
Something ina which Ckebeygan is
Interested.
understand that the Western Union
Telegraph company have notified Mr..
Abram Badour, who has so faithfully
looked after the repairing of the line at
this end between Cheboygan and Rogers
City for several years, that after this
mouth his services will be dispensed
with. The repairer at Rogers City is
expected 10 take charge of the entire
distance between that place and Cheboy
gan. In making this change we think
the company is making Il mistake, and
one Which will work to their own injury.
1t is Well known to our citizens that
with the employment OF both of these
repairers there have been days at time
when the line would be down, and one
time last summer, tie time of the woods
being Oh fire.. the line was down
tor over Il week. If such delays happen
ed when there were two persons TO look
after the repairs, one starting from each
end anu meeting Oh the road, how much
greater delay may be expected when one
man has to take charge Of the entire dis
lance. This is something the citizens of
Cheboygan are deeply interested in, and
should demonstrate against What is the
Use of having "a telegraph line if il is to
be down half of the time so that ii can-
not be depended upon? Ii the change
is made for the sake of economizing We
think it will prove saving at the spigot
and losing ut the bung." for we believe
the loss In income arising from delay will
be greater than the amount saved.
More buildings going up in Cheboy-
gan ut the present time than at any one
time before for years.
Rev. j. l.. Maile commenced his pastor

The Detroit Evening News says:

The Huntington Record says parties
from Chicago have been there offering
an advance of 81 80 per NJ. on lumber
over last years pr.ces.
Those who profess to, know say that
yesterday and to-day govern the weather
tor the next six months. Ii this is so we
congratulate our citizens on the prospects
of pleasant weather tor the season.
The tug w. S. Carkin was the first

She will leave to-day. probably. with one

Sable.
We are Informed that there is to be u

there is not as much latemperapce in
Cheboygan as in some other places we
know of, yet there is plenty of work here
tor Good Templars lodge.
