The INLAND EsOute.I

The steamers Northern Belle and
Valley Queen, have been making regular
trips to the head of Crooked lake this
week, but unfortunately for the route
the new locomotive which had been pro-
vided for the railroad part of the route
had to be sent back to Grand Rapids for
some minor alterations before she could
be used, and this has made it somewhat
inconyenient for passengers. Captains
Keeny and Smith, however, have been
untiring i'm their efforts to make the
trip as comfortable for their patrons
as possible. The Northern Belle has been
landing her passengers at a landing 10
to II miles from Pet0skey where team
meets them regularly and carries them
in. The passengers on the Valley
Queen, Mr.. Smith transfers to small
boats and takes them to the head of
Round lake, and team meets them at
that point and conveys them to PetOskey.
The locomotive is expected to be in work
ing order the first of next week when
the cars will meet the boats at the land
ing at the head of Crooked lake,

Detroit. Mackinac & Marquette Rail-
road.

From an interview of Post and Trib-
une reporter with Thomas McKeOwan,
chief engineer of the Detroit, Mackinac
& Marquette railroad we learn the fol-
lowing particulars in regard to what is
being done, and the future prospects of
the road: Much of the 20 miles contract
ed for last season is now graded, and
work will be Immediately begun on the
portion contracted for recently. The
first 13 miles of the road from Marquette
east is oyer pine barrens, though i'm
mediately to the south of the road is a
fine hardwood country. The next six
miles is over rocky bOulders to Deer Lake.
The grade rises slightly all this distance,
and to the Au Train river. Thus far the
line of the road is very close to the coast
of Lake Superior. Afterward it bends
inland. The summit" or highest point
in the grading, is at Munising. Thence
east the first 10 miles of the road is
through a fine hardwood timber cOun-
try, mostly beech and maple. Then the
road strikes the beaver-dam SwampS of
the headwaters of the MOnastigue, and
runs through them till it reaches the
region of the headwaters of the Taqua-
menOn. 1t has not yet been definitely set
tied whether the lower terminus shall be
at Point st. Ignace or POint-a-Bar. Both
these points have fine harbOr facilities,
and whichever one is decided upon as
the terminus will no doubt become a
large shipping point for through vessels.
Mr.. McKeOwan said he thought, from
an inspection Of the country through
which the road passes, there was almost
no part of it which could not be profit
ably and easily put under cultivation.
To complete line to the Sault. about 30
miles more of road will have to be built
than that now contracted for. Theprin-
cipal shipments for time will be ore,
lumber and the traffic of the Northern
Pacific. Ultimately, Mr.. McKeOwan
thinks, grain will be principally raised
i'm the western half Of the upper penin-
sula. The road will be completed. in all
probability. about September, 1881.

That the brides many friends might

The hour appointed was 9 A. NJ, and it is

After the ceremony the enewly-married

The bride was tastefully attired in a
handsome dress of bronze silk, with a

bountiful and well arranged breakfast
was served to the guests, and everything

In the midst Of the festivities the

The Harborl Appropriation.

Hon. Geo. W. Bell is in receipt of let
ter from Representative HOrr, of this
Congressional district, in which he states
that the prospects are that CnebOygan's
interest In the River and HarbOr apprO-
priatiOns will not exceed $4,000. The
old adage is that ''half loaf is better
than nothing" yet we think the govern
ment makes mistake in making such
meager appropriations for our harbOr.
Last year only $4,000 were appropriated,
and good portion of that amount was
used up for the pay of the services of the
engineers and their assistants, leaving
but small amount, to be used for the
dredging of the harbOr. 1t is to be hoped
that the full amount of the apprOpria-
tiOn made for the harbor this year will
be used for deepening the channel. This
is badly needed, as has been manifested
several times this season by the trouble
several boats of the Northern Transit
line have had. Last Sunday the Garden
City came in, bound down, drawing II
feet, and she experienced considerable
difficulty in getting in and out; in fact
she got so hard aground i'm the river OPP
pOsite Macarthur, Smith & Co.'s ware
house that she was obliged to get the aid
of tugs to get out. At the time the
dredging was done it was calculated
there would be plenty of water, and there
was at that time, but the water in the
lake has lowered very much since then,
and the consequence is there is not a
sufficient depth of water to accommodate
the boats. Last season the Western
Transportation steamers, which had
called here the season before, would not
come i'm on account of there not being
water enough in the channel, and it is
still worse this season. The $4,000
would, if properly used. remedy this, and
we hope to see it put to that use.

Another Veto From President Hayes.

Last Tuesday President Hayes sent a
message to the House of Representatives,
yetoing the immediate deficiency apprO-
priatiOn bill. The message is short and
to the point. The bill appropriated about
SS,OOO0OOOf which $6,0O0,OOO was for the
payment of the fees due United States
marshals and their deputies, earned dur
ing the current fiscal year, and their in
cidental expenses. While admitting the
urgent need of the appropriations, he
vetoes it on the ground that it contained
provisions which materially change, and
by implication repealed, important parts
of the laws regulating United States
elections, and by thus attempting to
annex conditions to the passage of need
ed appropriations, he looked at it as
tending to deprive the executive of that
equal and Independent exercise of dis
cretiOn and judgment which the con-
stitutiOn c0ntemplates. He considers
the practice Of tacking upon apprOpria-
tiOn bills general legislation as danger
Gus, and one which would open up the
doors to hasty, incOnsiderate and sinister
legislation by affording an easy and
effective way of cOnstraining executive
discretion. While admitting that it has
been practiced by all political parties he
believes that it is condemned by the en-
lightened judgment of the people at
large.

The Cheboysan and Gross Village
Road.

The State Board of Control, at its regu

week, considered the bids for construct
ing the east division of the ChebOygan
and Cross Village State road, consisting
of 1871 miles from this village west.
The contract was awarded c. p. Sweet,
of Kalkaska, who, it will be remembered,
was the lowest bidder. Local Commis-
sioner Robinson was instructed to enter
into contract with Mr.. Sweet in accord
ance with the terms of his bid, which
were to do the work for $4,000 and have
il constructed on or before December 1st,
1880. Mr.. Robinson has had the con-
tract drawn and it has been forwarded
to Mr.. Sweet to be signed. We are glad
the matter is at last settled. The road
is one that is very much needed. The
portion of our county through which it
passed has been settled uprapidly within
the last few years and the settlers have
been at a great Inconvenience for the
need of a road to reach the village.

| Nice Middle.

As stated in the TRIBUNE last week the
mail route between ChebOygan and
Mackinac island has been discontinued
by order of the POstOffice Department at
Washington, the last trip being made
Friday of last week. Postmaster Con-
nable, of PetOskey, writes Mr.. Ford that
the roads from Little Traverse to Macki-
nav City are so bad that it is utterly
impossible to carry the mails by that
route and that it will be sometime be-
fore they will be in anything like pass
able condition. and that the mail must
either come by the ChebOygan route or
else lay over at Little Traverse. This
is certainly nice state of affairs and
must be highly interesting to the citizens
Of Mackinac and Sault Ste. Marie. The
latter place has been deprived of tele-
graph communication for some time and
now the mail route is busted. 1t seems
to us that a great blunder has been made
upon the part of the POstOffice depart
ment. They should have ascertained the
condition of the new route before dis
continuing the old one, and what is
more singular is that postmaster Con-
nable received no notification to forward
the mail over the new route. 1t is GER
tainIy nice state of affairs and should
receive attention at once from the de-
partment.
