An IrreparabIe Loss.

Contained in Mr. Chandler's satchel
which was lost i'm coming over the straits,
among other articles of value, was a
manuscript law book, belonging to one
of the leading lawyers of southern Mich

important subject of taxation and tax.

nOtations and references. 1t had been
loaned an attorney at the Sault who had
unfortunately taken this occasion to re-
turn it to its owner. If it was book
which could be replaced its loss would
only be pecuniary one, but the loss of
such book is simply irreparable. Mr..
Chandler took every means in his power
to recover it but thus far without sue
cess, and there is probably not one
chance i'm thousand for its recovery.

The Salt District.


The Bay City Tribune publishes the
substance of the article printed last
week in the TRIBUNE urging an effort
upon the part of our citizens to form a
company to test the question as to
whether or not ChebOygan is in the salt
district and closes with the following
comment:
Should the suppositiOn of Mr.. Garigues
and the statement of Prof. Winchell
prove true, ChebOygan would be imme-
diately placed in the fore rank of salt
producers, and would, at once secure a
most important industry. Goodrich salt
ranks among the best made, and there
can be but little doubt that, should bOr-
ing intimate the presence of brine at
ChebOygan, like salt will be made there
as i'm Goodrich. The shipping facilities
are excellent by water, and with the
completion of the Jackson, Lansing and
Saginaw road, at an early day, these
facilities will be increased and so give
an outlet during the winter when nayi-
CATION is closed.
The citizens of ChebOygan should take
the TRIBUNES advice and raise the nee
essary sum for such an enterprise for,
though it should prove failure, the loss
would be but small compared with the
gain should it prove success. !.

AnImportant Project.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says several
Chicago and Buffalo capitalists, who are
vessel owners, and who sailed during the
best years of their lives, are agitating a
project for telegraph cable connecting
the ManitOus, the Foxes, and Beaver
Islands, at the foot of Lake Michigan
with the main land. Their plan is to
form stock company, and, inasmuch
as the funds necessary will not be large
there is no doubt but that it can be car,
ried out successfully. In stormy wealth
er, immense fleets of steam and sail craft
seek shelter at those islands, and are
sometimes stOrm-bOund there for a week
at time. There is no way of hearing
from them, and the anxious relatives
and friends of those on board, and ship.
pers, cOnsignees, and underwriters, must
wait until the storm ceases and the craft
themselves make their appearance tC
learn of their safety. Craft in distress
outside are also often supposed to be safe
at the islands, when if it was known
they were not there tugs would be sent
out in search Of them and perhaps save
vessel, passengers, and crew. 1t will be
remembered, as instance, that the AIpe.
ma was supposed for several days to be
lying at the ManitOus in safety. If there
was cable our shippers and vessel
agents could be also notified when theil
steamers and vessels pass, and there are
numerous other ways in which this
means of communication would prove
beneficial and remunerative to marine
and commercial interests, and to the
projectors. 1t is to be hoped that the
nlan can be carried out.

Steamboat Line to the SauIt.

We learn that l.. P. Trempe of Sault
Ste. Marie has determined to fill long
felt want, by putting on passenger
and freight boat between Cheboy gan
Mackinaw and Sault Ste. Marie and to
that end has lately let contract for the
reconstruction of his steam barge Ste
Marie, fitting her for the business by the
addition of upper works. The Ste. Marie
is propeller 100 feet long and will be
fitted up with a good sized cabin, smOk-
ing room, and eight or ten state rooms
together with kitchen, pantry, &C., and
will also have ample deck room to carry
large amount of freight There is
some talk among other Sault parties of
forming company to purchase another
boat and thus make daily line between
the two places. The enterprise will un-
doubtedly be paying one.

A Double Wedding.

The residence of S. d. Wheelock, Esq.
of Inverness was the scene of very
pleasant and interesting social affair
on Dec. 26, 1880. The object of attrac-
tion was the marriage of two Of his
daughters, viz: Miss Susan A. WheelOck
to Mr.. S. R. Tucker, and Miss Ettie Z
Wheelock to Mr.. f. A. Heilman. A sump-
tuous dinner was served, the table being
loaded with a rich variety of luxuries to
tempt and crafty the most fastidious
appetite, showing that Mr.. and Mrs.
Wheelock evidently understand the hap
by art of entertaining a company right
royalty. The bridal attires were elegant
and in excellent taste; the brides being
dressed precisely alike. Rev. w. W.
Campbell, pastor of the NJ. E. Church of
ChebOYgan, performed the marriage cere-
mony and pronounced the event one of
the most enjoyable of the many at which
he has officiated. The TRIBUNE office was
remembered by share of the wedding
cakes, and all hands join i'm good wishes
for the newly welded pairs.

Water Works.

The committee appointed by the cOun-
Gil, consisting of Trustees Miner and
daliagher and Village Attorney Brown,
to visit Cadillac and Investigate the sys-
TEN of water works in use at that place,
returned Thursday evening and express
themselves highly pleased with the
works as operated in that city. The water
works there were put in and run by priv
ate parties, the city paying so much per
year for fire protection. Mr.. Green, the
owner of the works, gave the committee
all the information he could as to the
material used, manner of putting in the
works and and the cost of the same. A
committee from Petoskey accompanied
the one from this place and we
understand are equally enthusiastic over
the system.
The TRIBUNE has always advocated
water works i'm preference to any other
method of fire protection and hope that
the day is not far distant when our vii
lage will have such protection. As we
understand it, the question to be decided
is as to whether the works shall be put
in by the village or by stock company.
We are decidedly in favor of the village
putting in the works and running them,
believing that it would be the most
economical plan and for the best inter-
ests of all. Ii stock company can make
it profitable, why cannot the village do
so? We are confident that a sufficient
income could be secured at once
from private parties for supply
of water for culinary and other
purposes, to more than pay the
the expenses of running and keeping
the system in working order and with
the growth of our village the income
would largely increase. We believe that
the first cost of the works would not ex-
ceed that of an adequate protection by
steam fire engines and certainly the ex-
pense of a steam fire department under
the most favorable circumstances would
be much greater than the care and ex-
pense of running water works and there
would be no chance for any income.

The Fourth Annual Meeting of Che
boygan Conference.

The fourth annual meeting of the Che
bOygan conference of the Congregational
church met at Manton, Dec. 2l-23. The
afternoon of the first day was spent in
prayer and conference, and listening to
reports from the various churches OF
which good representation of pastors
and delegates were present. In the even

the pastors of northern Michigan are
alive to the great curse of alcohol, and
mean to zealOusly oppose it with the
gospel. AT the evening session the Rev
Geo. L. Beach, of Reed City, delivered a
most interesting sermon from Esther
Ala, on Providences of God and Human
responsibility. No one could feel that
the sermon was for any other than for
himself.

most interesting character.
