THE HARBOR.

In his message TO the board of alder
men, Mayor Schuette referred to the Ne
cessity of doing something to secure q
greater depth of water in the river than
there is at present. Something should
be done aud that without delay. OF late
years there has been no dredging done.
The water in the lake has fallen consider
ably, and the deposition of sediment has
decreased the depth of water in the har-
with ea5e in our harbor, now find it diff
cult to enter. The Lake Superior boats,
which do large business at this point,
cannot come in when heavily laden. Last
fall Truman Il Cooper were forced to
ship the freig lit destined for Lake Supe-
nor, to Sheboygan, there to be loaded on
the Lake Superior steamers, which on
account of want of sufficient water had
to pass this port without calling in.
Some years ago We were SO apt to plume
ourselves on the superiority of our har
Dor over that of Sheboygan, that it is
humiiiating to be obliged to acknowledge
our inferiority now.
Our citizens entertained the pleasing
hope that the government would do some
thing toward deepening the channel. But
the realization of this hope is SO distant
that it is nonsensical to let expectation
make the city inactive.
The board should act..upon the sugges
ton OF the mayor and take immediate
steps to improve the condition Of the har-
Dor. Our lake tiade is 10y no means in
significant and we should not allow it to
anguish for the want of little enter
prise. The general government, even if
disposed to extend aid, acts too slowly.
The people must take this matter into
their own hands.

IMPROVING ROADS.

| The winter Just past and that of 1s1e
should teach people the necessity o.
working roads with judgment. The
roads in this county portion OF last win
ter and in 1878, were practically inpass-
able. The frequency of rain and the alb
senee of frost during the winter season
may be OF unusual occurrence. But the
fact remains that the roads of the county
ara always miserably poor in spring and
III fall aud sometimes in winter. Some
weeks ago we published the cost to the
different towns in the county o. maintain
ing roads. We feel satisfied that the ju-
dicious expenditure annually OF the aver
age annual amount then published woUld
in five years give Us roads that would be
good in any kind of weather.
In. the first place the road shoald be OF
sufficient width. Farmers should not be
allowed, every time they move a road
fence, to add portion OF the road terri
tory to their tillable land. 4 narrow road
cannot be well worked. It is liable TO
snow blockade in winter and to mud
blockades generally. Besides, narrow,
lane-lik road never looks well. Roads
should be well graded, and ditched on
either side, whore necessary. The kind
of clay placed upon the track shonld re-
ceive attention. The object in filing mp
low places is to improve that portion Of
the road when the weather Is bad. Where
gravel can be obtained it should always
be used 1t will pay in the end to draw
gravel distance OF three miles. i road
we'll graded and ditched, with coat Of
gravel on top can be kept in repair with
very little labor. In southern and cen
trail Illinois, where the soil is deep and
soft, and gravel cannot be obtained, tiles
are placed in the road at a proper depth.
Such roads are always good.
Farmers living at distance from the
city should take deeper interest in the
improvement of roads than in any other
public matter. A trip OF twelve miles on
bad roads does more Injury to team
than months work or the farm. Work
should be done with view to its perlna-
nency rather than as a .make-shift for the
time being.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.

Last night about seven O'clock a man
was seen to climb up on the east guard
of Eighth street bridge, and Jump DELHI
erately into the river. He went down
head foremost and upon reaching the
surface after the plunge cried out. Geo.
Houghton and VIII Colley were stand
ing on the bridge a short distance from
the man when he committed the rash
act. They ran for boat and found one
lying near the bridge. When they had
reached the spot where the man disap-
peared IN the water, he was not to be
seen. The current in the river was quite
swift, and strong wind was blowing
from the west, so that the body must
have hoated out into the lake in short
time.
Conjecture is rife as to who the unfor-
tunate person was, and the causes that
impelled him to end his life by his own
act. The man is described rs young
fellow not over thirty, rather stout, and
wore black coat. It was about dark
when he jumped from the bridge and the
two who saw him did not observe him
closely. Tue report is current that it is
a young fellow from the country, but
nothing is positively known and so we
give no names

ing a short distance from where the fatal
leap was made. 1t proved to be joni
