Clerk Trempe of the st. Marie informs
us that Thursday while the steamer
OsceOla of Wards line, was passing up
the Sault river on her last trip for the
season man fell overheard, about three
miles below.the Sault, and was drowned.
He was unable to ascertain the name of

template making important improve
ments in their mill this winter. A new
circular saw mill has been received and
will be put in on the east side of the

The schooner Helyetia arrived in Chi
cago last Wednesday morning and re-
ported having lost sailor while pass
ing through the straits Friday of last
week, Edward Fisk was the mans name
and while aloft on duty fell from the
mainmast head into the water. The
yawl was launched and manned by the
mate and three seamen but no trace of
the man could be found. t.f
Full returns from every county in this
Congressional district with exception
of Montmorency, which at best polls but
small vote being a newly organized
County, show that Hon. H. H. Hatch re-
ceived a majority of 1,036 and plurality
of 3,469. 1.-THE sn0b from snObville,
utterly detested by all who knew him"
as claimed by the Democrat, seems to
have struck tide somewhere. OF course
the editor would not lie, oh no he never
does.
The keepers Of Spectacle Reef light
house abandoned the light last Monday
and landed at this port that evening.
Steamers arriving in Chicago since that
time complained very much about the
light being out and say that this Is the
very time they are needed the most.
The propeller Chicago arrived there last
Wednesday and reported both Spectacle
Reef and Cat Head point lights out and
officers never for moment supposed the
lights had been abandoned for the season
but laid the fact of their being out to
the cold weather.
The last boats have probably put in
their appearance at this port and 50 far
as we can learn business has beeh fully
as satisfactory as was anticipated. The
amount of freight received we believe
to be largely in excess of any previous
year, to say nothing about that coming
in by rail. This shows that Cheboygan
and the country around 1T are growing
rapidly, and this port is fast becoming
one of the important ports on the lake
for business. We predict that the near
future will see number Of important
manufacturing industries added to those |
we already possess.
1t seems that the Van Raalte is likely
to have opposition on her route next
season., The Chicago Inter-Ocean says
Green Bay parties are figuring for the
Pearl to run her on the route, and the st.
Ignace papers are authority for the state
ment that W. j. Brown, of that village,
has purchased the steamer Armenia, a
Canadian boat, to put on the route, but
Chebovgan is to receive the cold shout
der; the boatIOnly running this way as far
as string town, OH the other side Of the
straits. They do not state by what pro-
cess Mr.. Brown proposes to get her
changed toan American bottom to enable
her to coast~ !
We trust our citizens will not forget |
the lecture next Wednesday evening, at
the Town Hall, by Ann Eliza Young.
