Any person having copies of the Trib-
une of Sept. 9th 1882, will confer favor
by sending them to this Office.
The elevator for loading railroad ties
broke down while the schooner I. Simms
was taking on her cargo and they
had to finish loading Ter by hand.
The dredge is progressing in excavat-
ing the channel of the harbOr. Some
delay has been experienced this week on
account of occasional breaks of some
portion of the machinery.
The machinery for drilling the arte-
sian we'll at the water works arrived on
the Lawrence last evening and is being
placed in position to-day under the super
vision Of Mr.. Rust, of whom it was pur-
chased.
Our cotempOrary chronicles the fact
that wages for men in the lumber camps
this season open at $50 to $35 per month.
We would ask them if they think such
wages would prevail if the Democratic
policy of free trade prevailed?
Owing to the illness of Mr.. Coryell
there has not been much done this week
at the test salt well. They succeeded
in cutting up the broken trimmer that
bothered them and the work of drilling
will soon begin again.
We have pretty reliable information
vicinity of ChebOygan, in the near future.
The parties are practical lumbermen
and mill men. the proposed site is one
of the most favorable in this section and
we have no doubt that with their exper-
40 hni N
paying business.
Prosecuting Attorney Shepherd re-
quests us to say that he emphatically
denies ever having given the opinion
that the Board of Supervisors had the
power TO decide as to who was elected
supervisor, that he was never asked to
give his opinion upon that point and
that he certainly would not have given
any such opinion as that, if he had been
asked.
We are Informed, by one who is in sit
uatiOn to know that the projected line of
steamers between Ogdensburg and Chi
cagO for next season is about an assured
fact. The design is to have tri-weekly
line of steamers, and some of the boats
have already been selected, and from our
knowledge of the crafts named we pre-
dict it will prove one of the most popular
lines on the lakes.
Messrs. Erratt & Spiller are having
terrible luck in getting their drill here
for sinking the well at the water works.
Shipped over month ago, it lay for sew
eral days in broken down car on a ide
track in Illinois, After being traced up
by the shipper and fOnnd, he succe eded
in getting it through to CHICAGO, and on
the Lawrence, expecting it 10 reach here
last Tuesday, which would have been the
case only for this last misfortune, the
steamer getting ashore.
Truthful Edward seems to know more
about what Vim. Harrington, the Repub-
lican candidate for sheriff, proposes to do
in case he is elected, which is admitted
by Democrats as fOregOne conclusion,
than Mr.. Harrington does himself. He
not only insists, in spite of Mr.. Harring-
tons denial, that pledges have been
made as to the appointment of under
officers, but goes so far as to name VIM
B. Ellis as the man who is to be under
sheriff. As to the veracity of the editor
of our cOtempOrary or MIR. Harrington
we do not think any one will be long in
deciding which of the two to believe.
We would again state, upon authority,
that VIM. Harrington, Republican nOmi-
nee for sheriff, has not made any prom
ises, or pledges, directly or Indirectly,
concerning his deputies or under sher-
ifs should he be elected, nor will he
make any promises, prior to the election,
and we are further requested to state
that VIM. B. Ellis has not been offered,
nor will he take any Office within the
gift of any of the Republican candidates,
and hence IL is unnecessary to say that
the statement in our cOtempOrary to the
contrary is without foundation. Any
person of average intelligence knows
that this weeks issue of that paper, so
far as politics are concerned, is made up
only of scurrilOus statements unworthy
of any paper calling itself decent.
J.W. Rich, who has had charge Of the
ChebOygan river range lights during
the summer has been transferred to the
lighthouse at Copper HarbOr, Lake
Superior, and Is only waiting the appoint
ment Of his successor to leave for his new
location. Last week the Deputy Collect
or was requested to nOminatea successor
to Mr.. Rich, and in compliance sent in
the name of Ivory Littleield, and it is
quite probable that he will be MIR. Rich's
successor. We are confident no man
could be appointed who would be more
satisfactory to our citizens in every re-
spect, or who would attend to the duties
more faithfully. Mr.. Rich has been
very efficient lightkeeper, and has kept
everything in the very best of shape, so
much so that he has been cOmplimented
highly:wheneve visited by the officials.
He and his estimable wife have made
many friends, VINO will regret their de-
parture. They have already broken up
house keeping and have their goods
packed ready for removal at the earliest
practicable moment after his successor
