The Scow NItnnehaha.

The Detroit Post and Tribune of the
10th inst, had the the following among
its marine items:
The little scOw Minnehaha, which left
ChebOygan six days ago, loaded with 15C
tons of iron ore, has not yet been re.
ported. AS she was out in the recent
heavy gale, grave fears are entertained
for her safety.
The fact of the matter was that the Min
nehaha had arrived with her ore at De-
troit, unloaded it and on the 9Th inst
had cleared from Detroit to Cheboygan.
We would advise the marine editor OF
that paper to visit the custom house oc-
casionally and get posted as to arrivals
and clearances. The Minnehaha ar.
rived last Saturday, with cargo Of
brick from st. Clair for the ChebOygan
Lumber company's engine room OF their
new mill.

Railroad Ties.

The Lumberman's Gazette estimates
that as we have now about 5000 miles
of railroad, the annual consumption OF
ties or sleepers alone is 4O,COlCoO, OF
thirty years growth of 5000 acres
This tremendous destruction of cross
tie timber, only certain kinds and sizes
that can be used for the purpose, is
using up the stock within reach so fast
and good ties are in consequence be-
coming so hard to get in many markets.
that railway managers are seriously
turning their thoughts toward some
substitute. Some railroad companies
advocate tree planting, and others iron
sleepers, which are now extensively
used on Belgium roads, and which are be-
ing adopted by the German and some
English roads. Glass and prepared wood
sleepers are also recommended.

The Base Rail- Match.

The Neptune base ball club, of Alpena,
came up on the ST. Paul last Tuesday
morning to play the third and deciding
game of base ball with the Eureka club
of this village. They were accompanied
by the Alpena band and anumber of Ia
dies and gentlemen from Alpena. The
weather was not favorable for the game.
The copiOus showers of the night previ-
Gus had made the ground very wet. An
effort was made to get the club to re-
main over and wait for better day, but
failing in this committee from the two
clubs visited different localities and at
last settled upon R. PattersOn's field as
requiring less wading than any other
and the game was announced for half
past two of that day. t.s
The game opened with the Alpena club
at the bat, and the umpire allowed them
one run on the first inning, although the
Eurekas claim that they whitewashed
them fair, and this claim Is substanti-
ated by spectators. The Eufekas got in
two runs the first innings. The second
inning resulted in fonr runs for the
Neptunes. The ChebOygan club had
made three runs with only one man out
when it commenced raining and the
game had to be stopped. The Eurekas
went at the game as though they meant
business, and were batting as though
they felt confident they could knock th'
spots off of -dollars-and-expense'
without much trouble, Notwithstanding
they had two umpires to play against.
The Alpena band made fine appear
ance and favored our citizens with sew
eral pieces of music during the day
Their playing was highly complimentet
by all. One or two, who came up on tn,
Paul, failed to get around promptly a
6 o'clock, and in consequence were jus
i'm time to get left.

The Last Stone in the New Lock.

From the Chippewa Cop1-y News.
On the 25th day of July, A. D. 1876, the
first stone in the new lock of the ST.
st. Mary's Falls Ship canal was laid with
imposing ceremonies; the natives were
all out in their good clothes, and pro-
ceSsiOns, speeches and OratiOns, both
great and small, pyrOtechnics, suppers,
and the presence of dignitaries and ce-
lebrieties heralded and did honor to the
occasion. Since that time the work has
grown day by day, until last Monday, Sep
September the 9Th, A. d. 1879, at o'clock
and ten minutes, the last stone in that
gigantic piece of masonry was quietly
laid, in the presence OF the wOrkmen
and two or three engineers. . 81 .i'
This lock, now completed, is said to be
the finest piece of masonry in the United
States. The estimates as to total cost
and amount of material used have not
vet all been made. But an idea of the
work may be gathered from the follow
ing: The lock is 80 feet in width and
515 feet in length between the mitre
sills, with lit of Is feet. There is 33,-
347 cubic yards of masOn.y y in total, of
which 10,042 cubic yards are faced stone,
and %, 1873 cubic yards are backing. There
are 5000 pieces of faced stone, and of the
number of pieces in the backing no esti-
mate can be made. The cost of these
faced stone alone was SPACED, and the
cost of the masonry work was $180,C-0.
The stones are all laid with quarter inch
Joints, and it is estimated that the ce-
ment cost between $3.50 o and $4,000.
| The faced stone were all laiG in import
ed Portland cement mostly from Eng
land, costing on an average about $3.50
per barrel, while the backing was laid
i'm native cement. costing about $1.25
per barrel. During period of about
six months last season 1850 barrels of
cement were used, which cost just $24,-
661,l3. The bottom is laid and strength
ened with iron amounting to about seven
miles of twO-inch rods. n.lfni ~ :
Gen. Wright, Chief Engineer of the o.
S. A., and staff, will accompany Gen
Weitzel in final inspection of the work
some time during the present month.

The Lumber Trade.

From the Chicago Times.
The lumber trade of Chicago and the
northwest has been good this year, and
the outlook is decidedly encouraging.
Last year lumbermen thought they had
"logged" too much for this years con-
sumption, but the large operations which
have recently taken place have convinced
them of their mistake. To this date the
supply of 1879 exceeds that of 1878 by
1900 JOG feet, which is an increase OF
ten per cent. By the end of the year it is
expected that the increase will be 20 pei
cent. The low prices of material and
labor undoubtedly operated in favor OF
Over-prOductiOn, and the market weak.
ened and declined until June, when il
was discovered that the Mississippi dis
trict had greatly fallen of in its. expect
ed supply. a-l5i iE4IfE Hi
The stock on hand i'm Chicago in June
was less by 20,CC0,Cc0 feet than in the
same month last year, while July show
ed still larger decrease. On August
1st the receipts were 150,COO,(10 feet
more than for the corresponding month
of last year, and still there was a def.
cheney of stock here of 20,C(0,C)0, as
compared with August, 1873. OF course
under such considerations prices ad'
vanced.
Lumbermen discovered that the stock
was in excess of the tOwage necessary
to carry it, and carrying rates also ad.
vanced. Instead of $1.1215, the rate
early in the season, the rate went up to
So from Green Bay ports. This, of course
had tendency to increase the prices of
manufactured lumber.
The trade has steadily increased from
the beginning of the year until the ex-
ira shipments and consumption have
reached the amount mentioned above
All the yards have had more trade than
they expected, and in many cases more
than they desired, and the result is the
advance in prices. Business east and
west has increased in the same ratio
and greater confidence prevails than fol
some time past. s7
Persons who are generally considered
posted declare that there will be still
further advance of at least 10 per cent
in lake freights. This will tend to di-
minish the supply in this market and
cause the lumbermen to pile more at the
mills. The crops and rapid emigration
to the west are expected to have a bene-
fetal influence on the trade. As the de-
mand is undoubtedly ahead of the ca.
pacity of the machinery for manufac.
turing lumber, business is expected tG
be good during 1880.
This winter the prices of labor and
machinery necessary for logging will
probably range higher than last year
Many large operators are not anxious t(
make large sales, since they look for an
advance Of 10 per cent. this fall. ''-i

Said the officer in his testimony awe

go up stairs outside and looking over the
banisters laugh at us, and stand in the
halfway, and remain until we come
after them, and then run away In time to
escape arrest. The manager of the
Lin. ard Folly Company, who was here
last week, sad he never was at a place
where boys gave him so much trouble as
here. Well, last night the boys were
worse than usual, ami we told them we
would arrest them If they did not keep
quiet or oaway. They only laughed
at us and kept on with their noise. This
young man in the dock, Bernard Har.

told him would arrest him, but he
run up and laughed at me. followed
him and took blm under arrest"
