From the Pioneer Press, Dec. 5.
The sealed proposals for bids to pur-
chase .$45, 900 worth of St Paul five per
cent bonds opened yesterday noon in the
office of Aid. Pascal Smith, the chair
man of the common council committee
on ways and means. The result showed
concluslvely that the city's credit stands
envlably high, as its bonds bearing such
an unusually low rate OF interest were
taken in one lump by the Merchants Ma
tional bank at par. This bid was pre-.
ferred because the bonds all went to a
single purchaser.

A Collision In the Straits.

A Toronto Globe correspondent writes
from on board the Jessie Scarth, To-
rOntO schooner, giving the particulars Of
a collision in the following words: "The
propeller Portage, of the Union steam
ship company, cOllided with the Jessie
Scarth in the straits of Mackinaw, not
far from Cheboygan lighthouse, carrying
away from the schooner one of her an
chOrs and about 80 fathOms of chain,
and destroyed cathead and other pOr-
ti0ns of wood work. The propeller did
not stand by to ascertain what damage
was done, but sailed on, carrying away
the schOOner's anchor embedded about
her starboard midships, and dragging
the chain along with it. The propeller
made very little headway with such an
encumbrance, and one of the schOoner's
boats was able to overhaul the Portage
after a pull of about three miles. There
was disposition to be insOlent on the
part of a subordinate on board the pro
peller when first hailed, but the adven'
ture concluded by the vessels coming to
gether, and about daylight the anchor
and the chain were shipped aboard tht
Jessie Scarth. The captain of the pro
peller acted in a fair and considerat,
manner. There was not much damag'
done to either vessel; but six feet of diff
ference in the situation of the blow
would have sunk the schooner. In fac
her anchor saved her."

Story for the Marines.

The Detroit Free Press says: 'Yester-
day afternoon Captain Vincent was en-
tertaining a crowd of lake captains at
the foot of Woodward avenue by telling
them of seeing a raftsman at Alpena
cross the river at that point standing
erect on an empty oil barrel and propell-
ing himself with pike pole. The story
was accepted in wonder as arare exhibi-
tion of nerve and skill, at which Captain
Preston, another well-known lake cap
tain, told of an exhibition given by a
Muskegon raftsman, who crossed the
Muskegon river on AKA scantling,
twelve feet in length, sitting astride of
it and padding with his hands. The
ball having been started rolling, Cash
P. Taylor gave an account of steam
boat trip he made from ChebOygan to
Petoskey. The chief point of his story
was that his boat had such beautiful
model and his pilot was so competent
that he took the boat overland from one
lake to another on water sprinkled from
a sprinkling-pot, Mr.. Taylor carrying
the pot"

Marquette and DIack,naw Railroa

Marquette and DIacktnaw Railroad.
A correspondent of the Detroit Post
and Tribune, writing from Marquette
says: Everywhere through this coun-
try the people are asking: Why don't
Detroit build the Marquette and Macki-
nav railroadr She once had nearly all
the Lake Superior trade, and would have
held it but for the fact that Chicago has
given them an outlet. Merchants large
ly say that they had rather do business
with Detroit than with Chicago if they
could reach it equally as well at all sea-
sons. of the year, but having to go there
for their winter stocks, they continue to
trade with them during the summer.
But for the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad this whole country would still
be isolated for fully one half of the year.
They are unable to understand how it is
that Detroit should sit quiet and allow
Chicago to steal away their trade and
they cOnstrue this apparent Indifference
to want of interest, if not of positive
neglect, on the part of the southern part
of the state, and of Detroit in particular
The completion of a road from Marquette
to Detroit would at,once remove all OF
this unpleasant feeling. The appropria.
tiOn of nearly 10000 acres to every mile
of road to be built between Marquette
and Mackinaw, with the business such q
road ought to do, ought to make this, a
line sought after by capitalists. Aside
from the numbering interests, the, i'm.
mense quantity of hardwood valuable
for charcoal would give large amount
of business to the road. Furnaces now
out of blast, and new ones to be erected
would consume thousands of bushels Oi
charcoal per day. 1t was Col Pickland's
opinion that this road, in running oper
alton, would result in putting in blast g
dozen or more furnaces, consuming
near:y 10000 bushels of charcoal pei
day. Whoever shall build this road will
at no distant day own a valuable con
nectiOn with the Northern Pacific. :. TIL,
$50 miles between Marquette and Mack
nav is through section in which it il
said to be comparatively easy to con
struct the road-bed, besides it is a goo(
agricultural region. At Marquette thi
road would connect with the Marquette
Houghton and Ontonagon road, now il
running order to L'Anse, some 65 miles
This is well managed road, and is do
ing an immense business in the ship
ment of iron ore. They have large AM
commodious docks, both at Marquett
: and L'Anse, though the chic
shipments are at the former place. The
employ about 30 engines and over 100
! ore cars. --.

The Base Bail Match.

% The base ball match between the Nep-
tunes, of Alpena, and the Cheboygan
club will take place Tuesday of next
week. We understand the match will
take place upon the grounds of the ball
club and not in Mr.. M. w. Horne's field
as formerly contemplated, and as stated
in the TRIBUNE last week. An interest
ing game May be anticipated. The Al
pena club claim to be the champions of
the lake shore. The ChebOygan club
make no such pretentions, having played
together but little, but will do their best
to furnish amusement for the Alpena
boys, and we shall miss our guess if they
do not make it lively for them in the
game next Tuesday. The Neptunes will
arrive on the st. Paul. Monday evening
Since the above was in type a telegram
has been received from the Alpena clut
stating that they would not be able II
play Tuesday but would come up at a
early q day as possible. Tiai

tributed thereto, for the elegant and

We are under obligations to VIM. Jen-

last year there was 1,571,9 1926 acres in

that last May the number of acres in

was slight increase in the number OF

The Range Lights.


There is great complaint made upon
the part of masters of crafts making
this port in the night, about the tempor-
ary range lights in use to guide them in
to the harbor. The Canadian propeller
Arcadia tried to enter last Monday night
to report, but was unable to get the
ranges, and the captain, after spending
a couple of hours in a vain attempt to
pick up the ranges, was compelled to
lower his yawl and come in with it.
The Northern Transit steamer Lawrence
had the same trouble Wednesday night
and it was only owing to the fact that
Capt. Williams was better acquainted
with the harbor that he. succeeded in
getting in. He knew about the course
and checked the boat down and felt his
way in, and it was not until he reached
the outer buoys that he succeeded in
getting the range. He said it was al
most an imposibility to get the range
if the wind was blowing in the least
Cannot something be done to hasten the
erection of the government lights for
which an appropriation Of$1O,OOO was
made some years ago. The importance
| of the harbor and its increasing bust
ness demands that something should be
done. If the government requires yes.
sells passing into Lake Michigan from
Canadian ports to stop at this port to re
port, it should provide suitable range
lights to enable them to come in with
out delaying them unnecessarily. 1t il
bad enough for them to have to stoI
long enough to report without causing
them to lose several hours hunting fol
the harbOr.
