Railroad Prospects.

C. M. Hubbard, of that live paper, the
Bay City Daily Tribune, has been taking
observations along the Jackson, Lansing
g. Saginaw railroad and writing up
Northern Michigan. In regard to the
prospects of the extension of the road he
says:
"The Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw
railroad affords every facility to settlers,
and offers its land to those who are seek
ing homes upon reasonable terms. By
the timelanOther year rolls by, the con-
nectiOn with the straits of Mackinac
will be completed and the desirable land
lying between Gaylord and ChebOygan
opened up to the tide of immigration.
The surveyor is is now at work stalking
out the line as far as Indian river, some
thirty miles from Gaylord, and / am as
sured by one of the officers of the road
that force of men will be set to work
in the course of few weeks clearing
and grading the road bed ready for the
iron. 1t is hardly probable that anything
more than the grading of the road will
be accomplished this season, but have
the assurance from those in authority
that before the snow flies in 1881 the
connection between Bay City and the
straits of Mackinac will be complete"

Farm g,aborers' wages.

The annual report of Colonel Worth
ington, the statistician of the Agricul-
tural Department, just made public,
gives some interesting facts concerning
farm labor and wages. In the Pacific
and mining states and territories the
range of wages for farm labOrers with
out board. is between S30.75 in Montana
and $22.5O in Washington territory. Of
the states east of the Mississippi, Mime
sofa pays her farm laborers better than
any other Northern state, monthly wages
with board being 1858, while Vermont
pays only $126O In the Southern States
the prices paid range from $12.26, in
Louisiana to 1872. in South Carolina, the
average being $3.50, The cost of the sub
sisting the labOrer for the average of the
whole country in 1880 is $7.l7 a month,
against STA in 1879. The demand for
laborers is good in all sections of the
country.

The meeting voted that Geo. W. Bell
be authorized to receive the money and
hold it for the purposes for which it was
subscribed. We are glad to note that
the subscribers are paying their sub
scriptiOns promptly and willingly, ST.
240 already having been paid, the most
of it paid to Mr.. Bell at his Office. 1t is
important that the money should be
paid in as there is no telling how soon
it may be needed, and as the committee
has already done considerable hard
work, we would suggest to those who
have not paid, that they do not wait to
be called upon, but call upon Mr.. Bell
at his office and pay. 1t will be seen
from the above that there is yet lacking
over 5000 to make the $1,000. Several
citizens have not yet contributed and
we have no doubt the small sum lacking
can be raised without much trouble.
Next week we will give the names and
amonts Of any further subscriptions.

General for the PostOffice Department,

office insufficiently prepaid, or where
first-class matter is deposited without
one full rate. the postmaster shall not
forward it, but if by inadvertence it is

that if first, third or fourth class matter
be deposited in postoffice without any
prepayment, it should be held, but. If
forwarded by mistake. the amount cGl-
lected upon delivery should be double
the postage which should have been pre-
paid. /. -

pleted his report for the fiscal year end

local interest:
During the year duplicate fog signal
was erected at Spectacle reef station,
Lake Huron. A shore station is much
needed, and an appropriation of $4,000
Is recommended for this purpose. Pre-
viOuS reports have recommended the es-
tablishment of this station in cOnnec-
tiOn with buoy stationed at ScammOn's

A fifth order lens Nd longer meets the

making this change. An appropriation
of $4,000 is recommended for the estab-
lishment of lighthouse in the straits of

This is one of the important stations in
the district.
A station at Little Traverse has been
recommended i'm the last seven annual

An appropriation of $1,000 is availa-
BILE for small beacon light on Frying
Pan island, at the mouth of St. Mary's
