NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY II, 1882.

The frame for the addition to the Town
Hall was raised yesterday.
The cedar ties and posts begin to loom
up on the east bank of the river.
The social given by the ladies of the
M. Il. church last Wednesday evening
was well attended and good time en-
jOyed.
1t will be just year tomorrow since
the TRIBUNE announced the formation
of company for the purpose of sinking
test salt we'll.
Governor Jerome and Railroad Com
missioner Williams went to the upper
peninsula last week to inspect the first
20 miles of the OntOnagOn & Brule river
railroad.
j. H. Kintz left Wednesday morning
with John Boyle to place him in the
State House of Correction at IOnia. Sent
up for three months for being drunk and
disOrderly, in default of finding bail for
good behavior.
Mrs. Wood, the wOuld-be suicide, was
brought before Justice SammOns, Thurs
day, upon the charge of forgery. She
plead guilty, and in default OF bail was
committed to the county jail to be tried
at the April term of the Circuit Court.
The appearance of the straits this
week would indicate an early opening of
navigation. The ice was mostly gone
in front of the harbOr and up to the
head of Bots Blanc island there was open
water for at least two thirds the width
of the south channel.
Daniel Sullivan received a telegram
Yesterday morning from his brother at
MuskegOn, announcing the death of his
father, at the advanced age of "a years.
There mains will be taken to Flint, where
the deceased resided for 50 years, for in
terment. Mr.. Sullivan has the sympa-
thy of our cities.
The Saginaw Courier says locomotive
90, on the Mackinaw Division of the
Michigan Central, bound south, broke
her cOnnecting-rOd few miles above
Greyling Monday morning, depriving
her the use Of her rear drivers, yet she
pulled the train through, and reached
Bay City only thirty-6ve minutes be-
hind time.
Tine wood pulp mill, at Marinette, Wis.,,
turns ont so tons of pulp per week and, 1t
is said, has orders ahead for over 100 car
loads. There is no better point in the
world for pulp mill than right here
at ChebOygan. Plenty OF the very best
of timber that could be had at reasonable
figures and shipping facilities unequal
led for sending out the product.
Notwithstanding last week we largely
increased the number of papers printed,
by Monday noon we had not a copy of the
edition left. We acknowledge our obliga-
tions to number of our regular sub
scribers who, at our request, kindly
Aos 20 al,
ply the demand. We shall try hereafter
to print sufficient number to meet all
demands.
One of our leading lumbermen pre-
diets that the cedar OF this section will
prove to be more valuable than the pine
has been. All the fats along the streams
for miles back, in some cases, is covered
with a thick growth of cedar. The
streams have all been cleaned out so that
the cedar crop can be run down without
difficulty, and being so conveniently sit
uated on the banks of the several streams
it can be cut and put in the water at a
very reasonable figure.
Che man who made raid on John
EatOn's clothes line, as mentioned in the
TRIBUNE last week, was before Justice
Taylor last Saturday afternoon and
plead guilty. He was let off under sus-
pended sentence upon payment of costs,
something over SO. He appeared very
penitent, laying it to drunkenness, and
told his attorney that it had learned him
lesson and that he would never touch
liquor again. However, Sunday he was
seen and had verymuch the appearance of
trying to tie his legs into bOw-knOt.
Some croakers are trying hard to make
it appear that the AlgOmah is great
failure as an ice breaker. We are not of
that opinion, nor is it the opinion of those
best able to judge. Captains of exper-
fence give her credit for being grand
success. Because she was unable to ac-
cOmplish impOssibilities is no reason for
cOndemning her as an ice breaker. The ice
that held her last week was driven i'm by
the wind and piled up until in anchored
on the bottom and reached from 10 to %
feet above water and miles i'm extent and
it would be folly to expect any boat to
overcome such obstacles.
Captain James Wilson received tele-
gram Wednesday announcing the death
of his brother John at Kalamazoo at 6
o'clock that morning. The body was
forwarded here for burial and the funer-
al takes place from the Congregational
church at 10. A. M. to-day. The family
have the sympathyOf all in their bereav-
ment. His death was somewhat sudden
and although not definitely known, it is
supposed to have been caused from
heart disease. The deceased had been
subject to epileptic fits for some years and
about three years ago admittance was
secured for him into the asylum at Kala-
mazoo, where under treatment his con-
dition was somewhat improved and the
