We are in receipt of No. 1 Vol. 1 Boyne
Falls Bulletin, new venture at Boyne
Falls primarily in the interest of that
village in the county seat question of
CharleyOix county, not, however, neglect
ing other local interests.
From list of new corporations in
this state, published in the Lansing Re-
publican, organized during February we
find the following: Grand Rapids, Indi-
ana e Mackinac railroad company, capt.
tai $256,OO0; Sault Ste. Marie Bridge
company, capital 100000.
Built up as Cheboygan is with frame
buildings should fire once get fairly
started who will deny that many thous-
ands of dollars in property would not
likely be destroyed, with no better pro-
lection than the one hand engine now
affords. Vote for the water works next
Monday and provide ample protection
before such dire calamity befalls our
town.
The Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw rail-
road company has recently sold to the
Detroit Smelling works large tract of
hardwood land in Otsego county this
side of Gaylord. The latter propose
erecting kilns, for burning charcoal,
at once and intends having them in full
operation early in the spring. The land
is located along the line Of the road and
runs through two surveyed townships.
The temperance men at Lansing held
a caucus and decided to hold the prohib-
ition amendment in the hands of the
committee until after the April election
and then have it amended so as to sub
NIT it to the people at the spring cleo
ton in 1882 and in the mean time cir
culate petitions throughout the state for
signatures praying for its submission in
1882. They feel confident that the pro-
gramme can be carried out if the tenn
perance people of Michigan will only
back up the measure by signing and
forwarding these petitions.
We understand an effort is being made
to have H. C. Pearson, local inspector oil
bulls for the district of Michigan, re
moved and new man appointed to thu
position. A remonstrance against any
change was circulated in the village
and we believe signed by every captain
residing at this port. Mr.. Pearson has
held the position for number of year:
and has made very efficient inspector
and is we'll qualified for the office, being
practical boat builder and we see NJ
reason why he should be removed. Ger
tainly one better qualified would be diff
cult to find.
The Wildman & Fox Comedy com
pany, now Wildman & Peck's, has been
dolnga good business i'm the southern
part of the state this winter. letter
from Ed. G.. Bourne, Captain COrcoran in
PinafOre, states that the company ha:
been considerably strengthened since
visiting Cheboygan and now numbers
fourteen actors. A number of new plays
have been added to their list and the
members of the company, especially
those who have visited our village, art
looking forward with a great deal o.
pleasure to season of comedy the com
ing season in this place, when they will
present some strong casts with new
scenery and effects. This company is
decided favOrite with our citizens ani
when they return we have no doubt, will
be as literally patrOnized as on forme
visits.
