The Shore Road.

The Saginaw papers are beginning to
squeal because Alpena people subscrib-
ed to the shore railroad certain notes
which are to be paid "when the said
railroad is completed so that the trains
shall run over it from a point on the
Mackinaw division of the Michigan
Central railroad at or near Standish,
or in its vicinity. or from any other
railroad in the Saginaw valley, so as to
furnish a connection by railroad to AL
pena and the villages between it and
Standish with that railroad, or any
other railroad in the Saginaw valley,
running south to Detroit and forming
railway connection with that city. p
Bay City Press.
The above item is the only intima.
ton Of the "squealing" Of the Sagin-
aw papers, that has come under the
notice of the Courier. 1t has stated
that the Saginaw & Alpena road would
leave the main line of the Flint 81 PeYe
Marquette at Freeland's, cross the
Mackinaw Division at Standish and
then reach up the shore. 1t knows
whereof it affirms, the morbid rawlings

The Newspapers Railroad Fight.

The question as to whether the AL
pena railroad will 60 to Bay City or
Saginaw is one of much Importance to
the two places and especially to Bay
City. The latter place will not do any
thing to materially assist the line, and
she does her best to hinder Saginaw
from helping the enterprise. The con-
sequence is that Bay City, as represent
ed by her newspapers, is spelling for
fight, and she bristles up to Saginaw
every time the latter place mentions
that the railroad in question will not
go to Bay City.
A few days ago an item in the De.
troit Free Press, in its State items,
spoke of the road as the "Alpena and
Bay City" line, and the Saginaw Cour'
Ter corrected the item as follows:
1.-THE Free Press is mistaken in the
name of this line. 1t is to be called
the Saginaw & Athena railroad. The
line starts from Freelands, ten miles
west of East Saginaw, crosses the line
of the Mackinaw division of the Mich
igan Central at Standish and thence
runs to Tawas and shore points. From
East Saginaw to Freelands the train;
will run over the Flint & Pere Mar
quette right Of way. From Freeland'
to Alpena the survey has been made
and the right Of way secured. These
are the facts in the case, and it may he
added that the work at this end Of the
line will commence shortly"
The Courier item was too much foi
the Bay City Tribune, and it loaded ur
its editorial pop-gun and shot back the
following:
GAS the Free Press is published ir
the city where live the men who com
pose the company who are to construct
the shore railroad, it is presumablt
it does not refer to it as the Alpena and
Bay City railroad without advice. Al

The Golden Eagle Makes the First Round
Trip Between Alpena and Bay City.

The Golden Eagle Makes the FIRST Round
Trip Between Alpenn and bay City.
The steamer Golden Eagle, Captain
Jones commanding, which left this port
last Wednesday, arrived at Bay City

Several of the detained snow storms
arrived at this locality last week, and
by Thursday night over foot of snow,
on level, lay on the ground--the re-
suit Of some thirty hours almost in
cessant showing. There was more
snow on the ground on Friday last,
than there was at any one time the
balance Of the winter. The principal
trouble was caused by the thawing
out of the swamps so that the snow was
Of no practical benefit to those who
had logs, railway ties or posts in such
places, as they were unable to get them
out. AS a general rule. the snow
proved of great benefit, and the greater
part of the logs that were on the skids
will, we believe, be got to the various
landings.

The Michigan Mutual Accident As
ISOLATION is doing a good thing among
the lumber boys, and large business
too. About 800 policies have been is
sued to them in the last three months.
Only SIS. You cannot do better, boys,
than to get an accident policy. You
can step into Mr.. Lockwood's Office and
put five dollar bill where it may do
you a good turn. About 30 of the
policy holders have met with accidents,
and the money has been paid promptly
and before it was due. VIM. Van
VOORHEES, is the local canvassing agent.
He will smile on all who want policies,
and Mr.. Lockwood says that all who
take policies will get job on the rail-
road.

The Railroad Bonus.

About six thousand dollars have to
be raised yet to complete the $4,000
bonus required from the citizens of
Alpena county by the railroad COM
pany. Over $4,000 has been raised
by about one hundred and fifty persons,
and as there are over two thousand
men in the county, IL ought to be easy
to raise the balance. Every man will
be benefited by railroad, and every
man should do what he can to help the
enterprise along. 1t is not fair for the
large majority of citizens to allow a
small minority of enterprising persons
to do all the work and bear all the ex-
penss, The railroad ought to cheaper

The fact that Hon. j. D. Turnball
made the attempt to save the State
about $4,000 per year, by letting the
printing of the tax sales to the lowest
bidder, seems to set badly on the weak
mind of the ever-grabbing organ man.
He does not seem to relish such dis
posal of the tax sales, and no wonder;
it would materially lessen the amount
he would receive for the work, if he
should even bid low enough, and he
could i'll afford to compete with pub
fishers who are far more deserving.
Poor fellow; we feel sorry enough to
pity him.
