of the Detroit, Mackinac & Marquette
railroad company have been looking over
the company's lands in Chippewa cOun-

done heavy trade at the cOmpany's ex-
pense. They also find many squatters
on these lands.
The stage started out Thursday even
ing with a full load of passengers who
were anxious to get through to PetOskey

their ride through, that night, 1t being
dark and one OF the worst snow storms OF
the season preyailed.

found the card of the Occidental Hotel
at PetOskey. This house has just changed
hands, Perry Address, who has. during
the past five years, gained and enviable

tirely re-furnished, and will doubtless

agement.

last week, and has been at Mackinaw
City this week awaiting an opportunity
to get to Point st. Ignace to investigate
the difficulty, but so far has been unable
to get over.
We wish to call attention to the weekly
market report contained in this issue.
This is new feature in the makeup of
the TRIBUNE, and we shall spare no pains
to make our reports accurate and read
able, so that merchants and purchasers
may be well posted in the markets. This
department will be in charge of a gentle
man qualified by experience in mercan-
tile matters, who will review the general
markets as occasion requires, and make
our reports an authority which we think
will be appreciated by this business
community.
