The dredge is at work for Macarthur,
Smith & Co. digging at the outer end of
their lumber dock.
The railroad company have force of
men employed filling in their dock with
slabs and edgings.
The Nashua last Tuesday morning
took several barrels of potatoes from here
for Cleveland, Ohio.
The dredge completed its work on the
booming ground of the Cheboygan Lum-
Der company last Saturday.
The Bay City Tribune reports sale
last Saturday in that city of one million
feet of lumber to be cut, at $3.50, $15
and $35.
This section has been visited with
several heavy showers this week, pa
inches of water falling from 10 A. NJ.
Sunday to Thursday evening.
Mr.. Hess has made good progress put
ting in the water mains down Main
street this week Notwithstanding the wet
weather has interfered with the work.
Macarthur, Smith & Co. have sold 100
tons of hard coal to st. Ignace parties.
They get $500 per ton delivered at st.
Ignace. 1t will be taken over the first
of the week on lighter.
The sunken lighter in Crooked river
has not yet been removed and is quite an
obstruction to the navigation of that
stream, delaying the boats in their pas
sage up and down every trip.
The yacht Peachie with her cruising
party returned early Thursday morning.
All report glorious time for the first
few days, but the wet weather of this
week took all the sport out of the trip.
1t is now in order to shoot cartridges
and wild duck, but sportsmen should re-
member that it is unlawful to kill deer
before the first of October and then they
are prohibited from killing or capturing
any in the waters of any streams, ponds,
or lakes in the state, or after November
30th.
The men employed sorting logs at
MOore's bay, on Black river, gave dance
Thursday night at which about forty
couple were present, quite number GO
ing up from town. A good time was en-
joyed and the boys are credited with
having provided one of the most pleasant
affairs of the season.
The contractors for sinking the test
salt well are still troubled with the rock
caving in, making the progress of sink
ing the well slow. Yesterday morning
they were down near 500 feet when there
was another cave of therock which broke
their rod just above the sinker leaving
the latter and drill down in the hole.
Track laying has not been progressing
very favOrably this week on this end of
the j. L. & s, railroad and but little has
been done. Teams have been distribut-
ing ties along the line and it is expected
strong force will be at work i'm a few
days putting down the rails. The rails
have been laid to upper Black River road.
Arthur Burns thinks that he will have
the spiles all driven at the railroad COM
pany's dock in ten days or two weeks
more time. Just now they are having a
hard job trying to drive spiles down
through the edge of the slab dock. They
have first to force hole down through
the slabs and edgings with short Spite
and then draw it and drive one of the
long ones.
We commence this week publishing a
serial, which will appear in four issues
of the TRIBUNE. In order not to en-
craoch too much upon our space Tor
local and general matter we give it in the
form of supplement. Some may think
think there is too much of sameness
about the succeeding chapters to prove
interesting, to others 1t will prove in
tensely interesting.
The Alpena Pioneer says: CA Poland
er's wagon broke down in Pressure Isle
county and the fellow, evidently think
ing that everything was free in this
glorious country, deliberately chopped
down telegraph pole and secured suf-
ficient of the wire to repair his wagon.
He was caught in the act by Frank
Bailey Of Alpena, but we understand the
telegraph company will not prosecute
him for fear of additional damages be-
ing done their property in that county,"
