NORTHERN TRIBUNE,
SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1881.

Salt we'll down to depth of 100 feet
last night.
The frame of the skating rink has at
last been taken down.
The masons are at work on the walls
of A. Fexer's new building.
According to VennOr this is to be one
of the hottest days Of the season.
Several fine fish were captured in the
river last evening by parties trolling.
The masOns have commenced laying
the walls of Daniel Williams brick
building, on Main street, south of Lynn's
meat market.
Since they put the tubing down in the
salt well, the well at the mill Of the
ChebOygan Lumber company has COM
menced flowing again.
The men employed in removing the
slabs and edgings from the railroad
dock, have rather moist job of it, being
compelled to work in water waist deep.
One of the men at the salt we'll. We'd
nesday evening, undertook to cross the
mill boom on the logs and boomsticks
and slipped ins getting a good ducking.
The brick masons have completed their
part of Kesseler's new building and it
shows what it is to be. 1t is decided
ornament to our village and credit to
MIR. Kesseler.
Several hard showers this week, that
of Monday evening was accompanied by
considerable thunder and lightning. A
tree a few rods distant from Jacob Walt
Ons residence, was struck and badly
shattered.
Tuesday forenoon man named Fee,
employed on the railroad stuck pick in
his right foot, near the instep. driving it
nearly through the foot making very
serious wound that will lay him up for
sometime. DR.. Perrin dressed the wound.
young lad, second cook, on the steam
er Lawrence, fell on an ak last Monday
and cut his hand very severely, the blade
of the AK splitting the hand about half
way up. Mr.. Kimball, the clerk, took
him up to doctor PERKINS, Office and had
it stitched up and dressed.
Sinking the test salt well has caused
the magnificent flowing well at the mill
OF the ChebOygan Lumber company to
dry up. 1t is thought, however, that
when they get down to the rock with the
tubing that the well will again flow.
The men at the mill will miss their
spring.
DR.. Champion is moving the old build
ing, in the lot purchased by him from
Mrs. Rogers, back and will erect in front
a nfx fxx,c hxy
forty feet. When completed Mrs.
Champion will have better opportunity
to display her fine line of millinery
goods.
The ChebOygan cOrnet band have ar
ranged for grand dance and excursion
on the steamer Saginaw next Monday
evening. The Saginaw is fine large
steamer and these warm days nothing
could be more enjoyable than ride on
the lake where the cool and refreshing
breezes play.
The old piles on the west side of that
portion of the slab dock purchased by
the railroad have been sawed off down
near the water and the pile driver has
been engaged driving them down even
with the ground. They were driven
pretty solid and it makes rather slow
work sinking them deeper.
W. G. Moore has received large as
sOrtment of the latest styles of gentle
mans neck wear and furnishing goods,
all fine goods selected by himself with
special regard to meeting the wants of
his customers. Elsewhere will be found
an interesting advertisement which will
undoubtedly attract attention. Read it.
Owing to a strike of the hands en-
pioyed in the mandatory, Carleton
Brothers have been unable to get their
brick machine. Their contract with the
manufacturers called for its shipment
several weeks since. We understand,
however, that it is done and is now on
the way here, and it is expected that it
will not be many weeks before they are
ready to commence manufacturing.
A large force is at work fastening the
building of the new planning mill. The
boiler has been set and the foundation
for the tOiler room is laid, and only for
the fact that brick could not be had be-
fore next week, the masOns would have
been at work laying up the walls. The
frame for the planning mill is about
ready to raise. They have sunk well
and secured fine flowing one Of clear,
cool water.
The numerous compliments the TRI-
BUNE has received from our citizens,
over the recent change, is highly crafty
ing and we hope to continue to merit all
the kind things they have said, and their
future friendship and good will by keep
ing the papcr I'M to the standard IL haa
