NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. OCTOBER s. 1881.
Look out for a change in Macarthur
Smith & Co.'S adj. next week.

Capt. BOuchard wants 200 men, any
one wanting to get good job for the
winter should give him call.
Mr.. VIM. Patterson ADVERT ses two
small houses and lots for sale, they are
pleasantly situated near the depot.
Street Commissioner Divine is paying
attention to the lower end of Main street
trying to make it navigable for teams.
1t needed it.
A heavy real estate trade at the court
house last Monday. The sale was en-
gineered by Deputy County Treasurer
Maultby and sales were rapid.
Mr.. s. H. Girard, contractor for the
new Carleton building, fell from the up
per scaffolding to the ground last Satur-
day sustaining pretty severe injuries,
days, but he is about again.
Some seem to doubt the possibility of
trains running regularly to ChebOygan
"before the snow flies" as promised. We
presume it will depend alto. ether on
how soon the snow flies, as we have no
the trains running as early as possible.
The township of Tuscarora, as is well
known, is fast becoming the most pOpul
GUS of any of the newly organized town
ships in this county. One of the more
recent additions was in the family of
George and Maggie Franklin, 91s
pound girl, on Sept 23d, in the village
of TOrrey.
H. L. Greenthal & Co will have their
new stock of drygoods and clothing open
next Monday, and Herman will be glad
to see all his old friends, and all the
new ones that will come and see him at
his new place of business. They have
new, large and well selected stock on
hand and should do well among us.
Several focks of wild geese are report
ed as having passed over the village
Tuesday and Wednesday, bound south
ward. This is considered an indication
that cold weather Will set in early, as
upon the approach of cold weather, it is
claimed, they migrate to warmer
climates. The chilliness prevailing the
most of this week would indicate that
they did not start any too soon.
Smith Brothers have sold their steam
yacht Ida to parties from CharlevOix.
She left Monday for that place and we
understand is to he used in towing
lighters for carrying wood from the up
per lake in that county where only light
draft tugs can be used. The purchasers,
we are informed, own forty scOws and
oof 60 fnr tohs To-
amount of wood to the furnace company
at CharlevOix.
Arthur Burns intends building Spite
driver during the coming winter. 1t will
be provided with all the latest improve
ments in the way of the necessary ma
chinery and will be a self propeller, so as
not to be dependent upon tugs in getting
from one locality to another. MIR. Burns
has had several years experience in
driving spiles and we have no doubt will
find plenty of that kind Of work to do.
Work on the railroad dock is progress
ing. The dredge has filed in the west
half of the dock, and force of men
have been engaged in leveling it down.
The south end of the dock and cOnsid-
siderable portion of the river front has
been capped. Along the south end and
the 800 feet Of front will be planked to
a width of about eight feet. covering the
two rows of spiles which are capped and
tied together. When completed it will
be one of the most substantial docks on
the lakes.
Sheriff Mute returned from Indian
River, with his posse, Monday afternoon.
He reports that not much trouble was
experienced in preserving order after
Friday evening, at which time they made
five arrests, this convinced the lawless
ones that order would be preserved at all
hazards. The people there evinced good
judgement in sending for the needed aid
and the officers here deserve much credit
for responding so promptly, for the
railroad mob were fully determined to
''run things" there ard doubtless would
have done so but for this prompt action.
Last week we made mention of the ad-
dition H. A. Blake was making to his
foundry. This was only to afford room
for more important changes contempla-
ted. He is going to rebuild his present
cupOla, sand during the fall or winter in
tends building larger one, having ca
pacity of three tons at one heat. He has
raised the old building so as to give him
sufficient height to put in crane for
handling large castings. He also con-
templates additional machinery in his
machine shop. among which will be a
new lathe. He intends keeping up
with the growth of our town and the
consequent increase of buiness.
The citizens of Benton township took
but little intrest in the special election
last Monday to vote on raising money by
