NORTHERN TRIBUN NE,
SATURDAY. JULY 90, 1881.

BUNE Office with two handsome boquets
the first of the week.
We hear that Col. Jno. Atkinson has
purchased lot at Mackinac and will
erect handsome cottage for summer
residence.
Tuesday the wind raised such dust
that it was almost binding, fortunately
the fine shower of Tuesday night settled
1T handsomely.
The work of constructing the planning
mill is being pushed. The frame is up
and masOns are at work laying up the
walls of boiler and engine room.
The dredge broke one of its spuds, by
which it is anchored when at work We'd
nesday afternoon, while at work in the
river and had to lay by for repairs.
The pile driver at work on the railroad
dock had rather serious break down
last Monday, breaking its main pulley.
and had to stop work for repairs.
Three lorries, small cars for handling
railroad iron, were landed by the Ke-
weenaw Sunday te be used in laying the
track at this end of the j., l.. q S. rail-
road.
Macarthur Smith & Co. have the six
hundred feet extension Of their lumber
dock about filed in with slabs and edg-
ings ready for piling lumber. The front
piles are being capped with square tim
Der.
The Northern Belle came down through
the locks Thursday evening and landed
her passengers, quite number, at Nc
Arthur Smith & Co.'S dock. She and the
City of ChebOygan will hereafter land at
the lower dock.
Vim. Callum, lumber manufacturer at
Cecil Bay, above Mackinac City, is talk
ing of either buying or building steam
barge the coming winter to carry lum
Der from his mill and tow the schooner
X. j. Gibbs, which he also owns.
The ChebOygan Lumber company is
getting out timber for large barn. 1t
will be forty by eighty feet and contain
stalls sufficient to accommodate thirty
two horses. Mr.. INNS, who constructed
the drill house for the test salt well, has
the work in charge.
The Episcopal Sunday school enjoyed
"a very pleasant picnic Wednesday. Mr..
Macarthur furnished lighter and the
tug Clifford lowed it up into Indian river,
and the party disembarked in the grove
this side of j. Smith BOckes' hotel. A
fine spread was provided and all enjoyed
the ride and picnic hugely.
JnO. w. McGinn has the timber for the
pier at the entrance of the harbOr all out
and will commence building the crib
right away. He will construct it in the
river, and when completed tow it out to
where it is to be located and fill in stone
and sink it, The stone Is being gathered
and landed in the outer end of Macarthur
Smith e Co.'S. dock.
Look out for $40 notes of the First
national bank Of Detroit. The cashiers
signature is forged on sheets stolen from
the bank. and POS of the so notes will
not be redeemed, numbered 509,210 to
509,261, treasury numbers, and 1888 to
1884, bank numbers, all inclusive. Each
sheet contained four notes, with the
above numbers, and letters A, B, G, ID.
Lost, strayed, or stolen. All will re-
member that some time since the Grand
Central hotel engaged the editor of the
Democrat to complete its menagerie, and
ever since he has filled the position to
the satisfaction of all. However from
notice in that paper this week it seems
the animal has wandered away, but as it
is perfectly harmless no person need ap-
prehend any danger.
The friends of the editor of our cOtem-
porary will no doubt greatly rejoice to
learn that he no longer suffers from the
terrible affection under which he labor
ed so long. According to that paper his
hearing is now better than any other
persons, for last week he "hedrd" several
things in regard to the TRIBUNE that no
other person ever heard or dreamed Of
at least he says he heard them and, of
course, he would not tell lie. He is
like Mark Twain he "can lie, but he
won't" oh, no.
The Pressure Isle County Advances an
nOunces the death of William McGreg0r
MOllysOn, well known in ChebOygan, at
that place week ago last Saturday. In
connection with the notice it says: "Mr.
MOllysOn has been an officer in the Brit
ish army during the Crimean war, was
an erudite scholar and good civil en-
gineer. His family are highly connected
and he has an uncle president of a bank
in Glasgow, nevertheless at the time of
his death he was perfectly destitute and
had been for some time charge to the
poor fund of this county,"
We understand that the Ste. Marie has
built up such large trade already upon
the Sault Ste. Marie and ChebOygan
route as to require another boat and
that negotiations are now pending for
another boat to join the Ste. Marie on
the route. The TRIBUNE predicted that
the Ste. Marie would find this route
paying one. The Ste. Marie has changed
her days of arrival and departure. Com
ing down now on Mondays and Wednes-
days and returning, leaving Cheboygan
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3A. NJ.
