NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1882.

A big crowd Of ex-railroad labOrers
left on the train this morning.
See notice of school teacher wanted
for district No. 2, township of TuscarOra.
Capt. r. H. Mosier, will handle the
wheel, ring the bells and tOot the whistle
on Macarthur, Smith & Co.'S tug Geo. w.
Cuyler, the coming season.
OThompson Smith has fifteen teams
employed on one road drawing logs from
two of his camps to the bay. The haul
is a long one and each team only makes
two trips per day.
The snow comes just right to please
our lumber jobbers. Every day or so a
few inches falls, just enough to keep the
roads in good slipping condition and
not enough to interfere with work in the
woods.
w. E. Smyth, jr. came over from St.
Ignace this morning. Reports lots Of
ice bergs in the straits, also that force
of men commenced this morning to try
and relieve the AlgOmah by blasting a
channel through the ice blockade, with
dynamite.
The Manistiqne Pioneer comes to us
this week in an enlarged form, but just
as full of pith as ever. There is no use
talking, the Major has an eye to bust
ness and lets very little news escape him.
He always gets out one of newsiest
papers that come to our table.
Some of our lumbermen were on hand
Thursday afternoon at the station when
they were paying off the men recently
discharged and tried to hire some of
them to go into the woods, but nary
man would hire out. They were all too
wealthy to work. Perhaps after dissipa-
ting their hard earnings they may be
more willing to labor
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Macarthur enter
tanned large number of their friends
at their home, Thursday evening. Their
house is large and well arranged for en-
tertaining large company and Mr.. and
Mrs McArthar know how to make every
body feel at home, and seem to enjoy
entertaining as well as their guests en-
jOyed being entertained.
The social at Cyrus Riggs residence
at Riggsville, last Wednesday evening
for the benefit of the M. +. Parsonage at
that settlement was largely attended by
citizens from Cheboygan, several sleigh
loads going up. A good time was en-
joyed, the only drawback being mis-
understanding between M. W. Horne and
the party he took out in regard to the
price to be charged for the ride.
Macarthur, Smith g. Co. have ordered a
new edger for their saw mill. The mill
was so Thoroughly overhauled last winter
that but little repairs were needed this
winter and this edger will be the most
important change made i'm the mill for
next seasons work. They expect to get
started early in the season, get their cut,
out as early as possible next fall and
next winter make some very important
improvements in the mill.
Last week we published rumOr from
the Ogemaw Herald that Gustin, Mer-
rill & Co. of Bay City, were going to re-
move their West Branch store to Che
boygan. The Bay City Tribune says
"that Gustin, Merrill & Co. will not re-
move their West Branch store to Che
bOygaD, that they never entertained
that idea and that no one was authOriz-
ed to make statement to that effect.
The Branch store will remain where it
is." All right Cheboygan can stand it
il they can.
Although we worked eff our usual
number of extras last week the entire
edition was exhausted early in the week
and we have begged several copies from
our regular subscribers in order to ac-
commodate parties desiring papers, but
then, have not been able to supply the
demand. There were calls for several
copies as late as yesterday that could not
he supplied. The only way to make
sure Of getting copy of the TRIBUNE is
is to subscribe for it. 1t will only cost
you 81 per year.
Mary NJ, wife Of Henry Blackmer,
OF Freedom, died last Tuesday, January
31st. aged 20 years. She had been i'll
since Christmas, having taken the mea-
sles at that time and before recovery
