Northern Michigan.

The following extract we take from a
letter in the Adrian Daily Record:
Twill say for our Adrian friends, that
ChebOygan is improving very fast, and
is destined to become the city of the
straits. Many fine brick building have
been erected the last year and great i'm
prOvements are being made on eve-
hand. The farming lands are fair; not
extra, but south and east of it is large
and fine belt of pine land that will last
for many years, with the ChebOygan and
Black rivers passing through, which
makes it easy and not expensive to get
logs to the mills. There Is seven large
saw mills at Cheboygan and Duncan
City. one of which, at the last mentioned
place, is the largest, think, in America.
It's capacity is three hundred thousand
feet in II hours. This mill is owned by
Thompson Smith, and was erected in
1S80-81. at cost of 1926, 600 and is city
of itself. This great city of machinery
is, without doubt, the most perfect piece
of workmanship of the kind, on this
continent. OF course it is only steam
saw mill, but will pay every man that
visits Cheboygan the cOmming summer,
to see 1t.

A Bill 10 wipe out Back Taxes.

The representatives of the northern
counties and the members of the tax
commission have agreed upon a bill to
get rid of the back taxes. The bill is an
amendment to act 229 of the acts of 1881,
known as the per cent. law. 1t pro-
vides that on October /, 1882, and for
four months thereafter any person may
purchase state tax lands by paying all
original taxes on such lands without in
terest or costs. After said four months
any person may buy for three-quarters
of such amount; then during four
months for One-half; then for one-quar-
ter till about April, 1884. Then the coun-
ty treasurers are to sell all that remains
at public auction to the highest bidder.

A singular Railroad Accident,

The night freight from Detroit on the
Detroit and Bay City railroad split in
two just before it reached Lapeer last
Saturday night causing very peculiar
accident. Five of the cars were filled
with sulphuric acid for use in the copper
region TO which they billed. The con-
cussiOn when the train came together
broke some of the glass bottles contain
ing the acid, which, were enclosed in
large casks. The fluid ran out and set
the cars on fire and when the train
reached Lapeer smoke was pouring out
of them which soon became so dense as
to be almost unbearable, driving many
of the passengers in waiting for the
sOuth-bOund morning train into the
depot. The cars were run down to the
water tank at that station and water in
jected reducing the acid. The damage
to the woodwork of the cars was quite
serious. They passed through here
Monday and the cars showed the effects
Of the burning received from the acid
very materially, some Of them having
several places where the sides were
burned to crisp, 80 that lead pencil
could easily be run through.

The open weather humbles the pride
If the lumberman, and Duncan City
loes not escape the visitation.
Mr.. Smiths people have little less
than 200000O0 feet of logs banked, this
being but half Of their intended cut, and
prospects are not bright. for six weeks Of
sleighing in March.
1t has well been said necessity is the
mother of invention" and one is some
times led to believe it may have been a
saw mill man that gave us the express
sion. In excavating for foundation
to the new boiler house, it was necessary
to remove quantity of edgings several
feet in depth, and covered with water.
As axes could not be used in such a
depth of water, resource was had to a
veritable guillotine, machine on the
plan of pile driver, with a huge knife
i'm place of the hammer, which cuts
readily to any required depth.
In the machine shop the blacksmiths
are at work on lot of new saw dust
chains, 1900 feet in length. This with
the old chains in nse, makes stretch of
over half mile long.
three ton fly wheel and shaft 10 feet
long and eight inches in diameter have
just been put in order for the engine
rebuilding here.
The cylinder for the Mary is in the
lathe, and her machinery will be COM

Salt or No Salt. That's The Question,


In announcing the abandonment of
the effort to sink test salt well on the
grounds of the ChebOygan Lumber, the
TRIBUNE stated that it did not mean the
abandonment of the effort to settle the
question as to the salt basin underlying
the ChebOygan region. We had too much
confidence in the enterprise of those con-
nected with the movement and our citi-
zens generally to consider that failure,
after brave and determined fight to
overcome insurmountable difficulties, as
settling the question. He are glad to
announce that another effort is soon to
be made. Already quite sum has been
subscribed towards this second effort by
the leading ones subscribing so literally
towards the former effort. Mr.. COner is
in correspondence with several experience
ed well bOrers asking for figures on
another attempt. In this matter, while
the mill men are the more particularly
interested, every business man and every
person having an interest in the welfare
of our town are more or less interested
and should contribute toward the enter
prise. A small sum from all interested
together with what has been already
been pleged by a few, will insure the
success of this second attempt. The ex-
perience gained from the former attempt
will serve to make second effort more
certain of success. We trust our citi-
zens will take the matter into serious
consideration and all make up their
minds to do what they can in the way of
contributing to the fund for the purpose.
The conditions OF subscription are the
same as before. If salt is found in pay
ing quantities, Macarthur, Smith & Co.,
upon whose property it is proposed to
make this second effort, are to pay back
the amount subscribed and paid by the
several subscribers. Mr.. Coner will be
around looking after subscriptions to
the fund, Don't wait to be asked, but
but come forward and put your names
down promptly. The sooner the neces-
sary amount is subscribed, the sooner
the work can be commenced and the i'm
portant question settled. Let all help.

l think it was Bob Ingersoll who said
that he had known Democrats who had
but one bad trait, and that was politics.
He also, had known Republicans who
possessed but one good trait, and that
was their politics. Now I do not pre-
tend to furnish newspaper items,
and my warmest friends would
not say that l was long
headed politician, but it has always
seemed to me that it was the best policy
to be agreeable and as pleasant as one
knows how, to cultivate the amenities of
life and surround ourselves with all the
advantages that honest enterprise and
industry may obtain and then be genial
with our fellow men to the extent of our
ability. That man endowed with a
generous nature, though he may not be
an orator, might possess a little human
sympathy, which is sadly needed i'm this
world, even in the ordinary relations of
life, and it is surely unbecOming for a
public officer to grossly abuse his posi-
tiOn and misrepresent persons and
facts that he may gain a little
cheap newspaper fame, and, for the
time being, make of himself local hero,
or to stir up strife among men and in
cite their bad passions and use them for
cats paw to further his own designs,
or to attack his neighbOrs and pour out
the 'seveE walls" of his personal wrath
on the helpless and weak. One would
almost wish, for the well being Of society
in general, that such mems mouths
could be muzzled the same as vicious
it would be to the honor of the Republi-
can party, which they very poorly repre-
sent. skulk under no assumed name

The Arapahoe delegation, consisting
of Black Cole, Sharp Nose, White
Horse, Iron and War Eagle, passed
through yesterday, on their return
home. They have been visiting the
Indian schools at Carlisle, Pa; and
also the president. All Of them speVk
in high terms of the school, and desire
that more of the children of their tribe
be sent there. War Eagle had his son,
aged about eleven, In charge, the lad
being sick and pining for his home at
Fort Washable. Major Hutton, the
agent, had the delegation In charge.
While the train was waiting b ere
Gov. Hoyt and Secretary Morgan
visited the chiefs, having met them on
their reservation. The Indians all re-
membered the two officers and shook a
cordial ''how."
Strange to say, these chiefs have
learned what COMPOUNDED bores news
paper men are when they wish to inter
view a person. We tried to talk to
War Eagles son, but the old gentle
mar commanded silence and the boy
remained dumb, only saying that he
was sick,

How n Bank was VIctimI.ed.

This Is about the way a mar yictimiz-
ed the jackson county bank at Jackson,
Mich, a week or 50 ago: He was gen.
tlemanly in appearance, and as he en-
tered the bank looked as though he
wouldn't stoop to any kind of wrong
doing. He drew a check for $500 from
a check-book of a New York bank.
When be asked the banker to forward
the check for him and collect it, the
banker innocently agreed to comply. In
a few days the bank received from New
York a draft for the amount. Then
the stranger, calling to get his money,
asked that the draft be cashed. The re-
quest was granted. After swindler had
DISAPPEARED the Jackson bank officers
discovered that there was no such bank
in existence as the one mentioned in
the check. The confidence man had a
confederate in New York who had re-
ceived the check and sent the draft.

FROM DENVER HOME.
The excurtionists left Denver on
their return to Cheyenne yesterday
moning about 10 O'Clock in a special in
charge of Conductor Robinson, and the
level prairie lands between Denver and
Greeley sped by more than lastly, the
train making the fifty miles in seventy
minutes.
At Greeley the crowd crowded out Of
the coaches onto the platform and made
the air ring with songs which were in
terrupted by President Caldwell with
the following resolutions, read by Rev.
c. NJ. Sanders, and heartily adopted:
Whereas, This excursion has been one
Of utmost enjoyment and uninterrupted
pleasure, largely owing to the ample
provisions made for the comfort of the
excurtionists; be it
Resolved; That the hearty thanks Of
this party be given to the officials Of the
U. z. Ry. for the very liberal provision
they have made for its entertainment
and comfort on the present excursion.
Resolved; That we are specially in
debted to Robt. Law, ESQ.,, superintend-
ent of the Mountain division Of the U.
P. railway, for the generous, whole
hearted, courteous and efficient manner
In which he has performed his many
duties as host on this occasion.
Mr.. Law was called upon and briefly
responded; when the party resumed
their seats in the coaches and sped
away.
In the first car the gentlemen organ
lied a third house and INDUCED in
speeches and songs peculiar to the mo-
mentous occasion. Judge Andrews from
the unsteady rostrum of a well filled
grip sack and supported at shoulder and
collar by eager listeners addressed the
august body about the wisdom of wise
legislation and urged upon them one
law which he appealed to them not to
repeal, and that law was Bob Law.
Representative Alexander In the
midst of a telling speech from the same
unsteady stand was rudely interrupted
by his right hand support with,
II say, captain, what's this in your
coat pocketP"
Nothing but a whisk broom" was
the reply, as he was whisked to a seat
to make room for a song by "the gen.
tlemen from Laramie"
The house dissolved, however, upon
arrival of the train at the city and the
party dispersed after enjoying three
days and q half Of hard riding and a six
hundred mile excursion, in a most
pleasant manner

THE LITERARY MEETING.
An Excellent Entertainment Last
Evening.

The literary meeting, which was held
last evening at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. W. Hammond, Ferguson street,
was one Of the most pleasing and sue
cessful Of the season. A very large
number of ladies and gentlemen were
assembled, and altogether they formed
a very pleasant and sociable throng.
The program was as follows:
Piano duett, Miss Dove Wiley and
Miss Marie Maynard.
Reading, 1.-THE Old Surgeons Story"
DR.. W. A. Wyman.
Paper, Trial by jury" Rev, DR.. ].
Y. Cowhick.
instrumental music, Mrs. F. j.
Barnes.
Answers to the question "Why do
ladies laugh more than gentlemen" by
Mrs. Gov. Hoyt, DR.. Cowhick, and
others.
Recitation, 1.-THE Witch's Child"
Mrs. r. f. Glover.
Owing to the ~lateness of the hour, Gov.
Hoyt omitted his part of the enter
tainment, which was to have been a de-
scription of q trip to st. Petersburg.
A very pleasant feature-we may
safely say, several features-was intro
duced. Just as the last notes Of the
piano subsidized after a Performance, a
septette Of colored gentlemen on the
outside struck up with a vocal serenade.
The doors we're opened to admit of the
music being heard by the association.
Encore followed encore and at last the
septette entered the meeting and rem
dered several plantation hymns.
The piano solos of Mrs. Barnes, of
Chicago, were most excellently rendered
and evoked the heartiest commentator
of the %appreciative audience.
On motion, the invitation Of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. FL Annett for the association
to meet at their residence on next
Thursday night week, was accepted.
The following committee was appointed
on program for next meeting: Judge
Fisher, Mr.. and Mrs. Annett, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bristol, Mr.. and Mrs. Baird. Mr..
and Mrs. w. Hurlbut, Mr.. and Mrs.
Riner, Miss DeCou and Mr.. Porter.
The committee will meet at 1880 on
Saturday evening at Mrs. Annett's
residence.

business.
If you hear any one raking over
Denver in general and Denver news,

one down as a member of the recent
legislative excursion party.
The case of John Kubella' charged
with counterfeiting, came up before
Commissioner Fisher yesterday for q
hearing, but the prosecution was not
ready and the case was continued for
ten days.
The members of the legislature feel
quite indignant, as they have reason to
feel, at the in which they have
been treated by some of the Denver
press. They are free to admit that
there is more hell to the square inch in
that city and Leadyille perhaps, than
in any other place on the footstool, but
they don't like to have their names
scan dously used to advertise such ques'
tionable attractions, ever IL there are
no others worth mentioning.
Several of the so-called newspaper
men of Denver have taken opportunity
to air their wonderful ability by max
ing scandalous remarks in print upon
the respectable members of the recent
excursion, particularly members of the
ministry. All of which were as I'M
~gentlemanly as they were untrue, to
say the least. Perhaps they were a
magnificent exhibition of a magnificent
humor; If so, their cleanness would
necessitate labelling, as the school boy
does his first picture Of a horse, 30 that
the reader might know what they were
planned for and when to laugh. AS
matters of news they show the great
lie-ability the pseudo-journalists are In
of fulfilling the mission of the profess.
