Cheboygam HarDor.

We are indebted to Major HarwOOd, in
charge of various harbOr improvements
upon the lakes, for copy of his annual
report for the fiscal year ending June
3Oth 1881. From which we CLEAN the fol-
lowing in regard to the ChebOygBn Har-
Dor:
The amount expended to June 30th
1880, was 90,S74.12 and resulted in Sc
curing a channel 200 feet wide with
depth of 13 feet. The amount expended
during the year ending June 30th, 1881,
was $3,6O3.9S, which resulted in deepen
ing the channel to Is feet for so feet
wide along its axis for nearly the whole
length. The amount that can be profit
ably expended during the year ending
June 30th, 1888, is placed at $4,000,
which, if appropriated, it is proposed to
expend in completing the dredging for
a harbOr of IA feet depth of water. The
estimated amount required for the COM
pletiOn Of of the improvement according
to the approved AMI adopted project is
| $4,000.
In speaking of the expenditures of the
last ap. rOpriation the report says: "ow-
ing to a necessary diversion of a portion
of the dredging to give room to turn in
the harbor, the channel deepening will
not be quite completed, and will be
merged into the more ample project de-
manded by the fast increasing COM
merce of this harbOr, requiring much
greater facilities than those heretofore
afforded. PrOpellers of the deepest
draught on the lakes now seek to enter,
and will do 50 in numbers as soon as
sufficient depth of water is given them
To accomplish this he proposes not only
to complete the axial deepening of the
channel of entrance, but to also dredge
out the entire area in front of the steam
boat docks to clear depth Of 10 feet, SO
as to enable the largest prOpellsrs to
reach and leave the wharves without
difficulty and at the same time complete
the original project of obtaining clear
Ia feet depth for the entire width of the
channel. He estimated the cost OF
dredging the basin in front of the steam.
boat docks at $4,000 and for complete.
ing the channel to clear depth of IL
feet at $4,000, which amount he recon-
mends to be appropriated to be expend
ed during the season of 1928. The
original estimate made in 1871. for the
cost of work to complete the harbor as
proposed, was $395,OOO, The whole
amount appropriated from 1871 to 1881
inclusive, was 100000. Add to this the
$4,000 estimated as necessary to com
plete the existing project and and il
would make $4,000, less than two
fifths of the amount originally estimat
ed.

Burt Lake News.

Burt Lake Mill Company, composed of
VIM. Kneil G. Miller and j. Parks, with
Col. Kinsley as sawyer and mill-wright,
have got their mill running nicely and
are able to manufacture about 10000
feet of pine or 5000 feet Of hardwood
daily and are now busy on contract
for cutting million feet of maple and
Eastwood. This mill proves great
convenience to the settlers on that side
of Burt lake, as it enables them to OBJ
tain any quantity or quality of lumber
they desire.
Col. Kinsley expects to put up grist
and feed mill early in the spring near
that mill and then will te able to grind
all kinds of grain that may be brought.
The school, which has been conducted
during the winter by Miss May Barbour,
has been well attended and given unu-
sual satisfaction.
Altogether the Ohio settlement, as it is
called, is model for new country
neighborhood; such things as discords
and little petty jealOusies and rivalries
are unknown. And then, all the inhab-
| itants are united in all moves that have
| for their end the common good of the
community and we think it safe to pre-
dict that If this happy state of things
continue, that neighb0rh0Od in time
will become one of the most prosperous
and happy communities in this part of
the state.

The State Press Association.

The press Of the state have been max
ing inquiries as to when a meeting of
the State Press association, is to be held.
Col. DeLand, of the Saginaw Herald, pre-
sident of the association, haying attend
ed the last meeting of the Northwestern
Michigan Press Association, and enjoyed
the meeting, and the excursion that fol-
lowed, so we'll, suggests that the meet
ing be deferred until in the summer
and then have an excursion in cOnnec-
tiOn Herewith. The Bay City Morning
Call seconds the motion and names Che
bOygan as the place for holding the meet
ing, closing with an excursion from
here to Sault Ste. Marie. The sugges-
tiOn of the Call is a good one. The press
of the state should come to ChebOygan
and see the liveliest town of its size in
the state. We are satisfied our citizens
would see that they were handsomely
accommodated and would take pleasure
in showing up the advantages of the
Chicago of the North" and there would
be no difficulty in arranging for an ex-
this place to the Sault, giving the frater-
nifty an. opportunity for a delightful
ride, seeing the romantic scenery along
the Sault River and the largest lock in
the world. Keep it moving gentlemen
and come to ChebOygan to hold your
meeting.

Thomas Ryan, is concerned that it will be

JOHN P. ST. JOHNS WAR RECORD.

''ln 1861 the the Union fife and drum were
heard in the Sucker State, and its musical
notes had peculiar attraction in the stanch
old Wing county of Coles, calling her sons
to battle and to war. Many of her brave
sons lie buried beneath the green soil of
Dixie. while her valiant Twin. hosts returned
triumphantly TO chant the praises of victory
and tell their children ali about those hard
fought battles. In 1861 John =. st. John en-
listed RS private in company C. GSth regi-
mcnt Illinois Infantry, and in the election of
officers was unanimously elected Captain, in
which position he served until the regiment
was mustered out Captain st. John, on his
return to Illinois in 1862, was appointed by
Governor Yates commanding officer OF Camp
NATION, Illinois. and upon the organization
of the l4Sd volunteer Infantry, he was elect
ed Lieutenant Colonel Of said regiment and
served in that capacity until late in 1864,
when he returned TO his law practice in
Coles county. We are familiar with his sub
sequent history
We find the above floating around in the
third term press. originally published in the
same statement in the Biographical Dietion-
airy, Kansas edition. Now what are the facts
as TO the soldier record of this great patriot.
John z. st. John:
The Sixty eighth Illinois Volunteer In
fantry was three months regiment, and was
organized in June, 1862. John z. st. John
was mustered in June 20 1852, as Captain of
company Z, and mustered out as Captain OF
same company. September 26, 1852. Time in
service, three months and six days. Now as
to the l43d Illinois Infantry: this was an 100
days regiment. We find that John p. was
mustered into this regiment June IL, 1864, as
Lieutenant Colonel, and mustered out with
same rank September 20, 1864. Neither of
these regiments ever saw rebel in arms, and
it was not expected they would when they
enlisted. Where was the patriotic( @ John
p. in 1861, when the gallant young men Of
Illinois were rallying 10 the defense of the
flag. Where was the martial John =. in the
dark days of '63.
If we are to judge of his actions then from
his recent career, we would say that he was
doing the wind work of putting down the
rebellion: cayorting over the prairies of Hi
nois with short-hared women. exhibiting
his mustache and wonderful oratorical pow
ers. These publications are evidently made
to throw sand into the eyes Of the public and
make people believe our Governor was really
gallant soldier during the rebellion.

J.B. JOHNSON FOR GOVERNOR.

Several Republican papers OF the State
have made favorable mention Of Captain j.
b. johnson as the man in ali particulars quail
ifed to oil the gubernatorial chair Of Kan
sas for the immediate years to come. 1t is
claimed, and reasonably, that he would poll
the solid vote of the Republican party, a
feat not satisfactorily accomplished since the
days when that honest and solid old granger.
James NJ. Harvey. discovered his political
PAGES. johnson has splendid soldier rec
ord. and political record without a flaw.
While he is n sound and consistent temper
ance man, he is no hobby rider. As Speak
er OF the last House, in fact in no position to
which he has ever been called. has he shown
any signs Of weakness. With the exception
of Colonel John A. Martin, we know of no
man who could more solidly carry the Re-
publican party of Kansas.
Many of our people met Captain johnson
on the occasion OF his address before the old
soldiers at Shuman's grove two or three
years ago. He is broad guaged, solid and
sound, as many in this country, who served
with him in the army, can attest, and his
nomination would simply mean a clean
sweep, and the healing of many rancorous
sores in the body polite of Kansas.
