In the Last Ditch.

The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder Company
against all forms of adulteration in
baking powder seems to be having a
mortuary effect upon the alum baking
powder makers and vendors of this
locality. The Royal Company set
out upon this crusade several years
ago. 1t was the first to bring to light
the use of alum for this purpose, and
to expose the infamous tricks and
schemes of the alum concerns, who
were endangering the health and lives
of the public that more profit might
be derived from their powders. 1t
called them by name, denounced them
to the public authorities, and succeed
ed, by the aid of the press and an en-
lightened public sentiment, in driving
them, step by step, from the east un-
til they are now at bay in the north
west and on the Pacific slope.
All forms of alum baking powders
are now being foisted upon the mar.
ket in this vicinity. Their use has
been universally condemned by medi-
cal men as absolutely dangerous to
human life. The presence of alum
cannot be detected except by chemi-
cal analysis, and the purchaser is un-
aware of its use until its effects have
shown themselves in a disordered sys-
TEN.
1t is because of the continued, Wig
orous and successful pursuit of these
dangerous alum baking powders that
their proprietors and peddlers are now
endeavoring to vent their spite and
revenge their disappointment by cir
culating absurd falsehoods and sham
analyses against the Royal Baking
Powder.
1t won't work. The Royal Baking
Powder has, during the last quarter
of a century, earned a reputation
throughout the world which no such
dishonerable and tricky adventures
can pull down or destroy. 1t has
stood the test of a long, actual practi-
cal use, and has been Endorsed by the
government chemist, Prof Mott, and
by all the most eminent chemists of
the country, as in all respects abso-
lutely pure and wholesome, and of
the very highest leavening power. 1t
is not possible for the new, expert
mental, and suspicious baking pow
ders, no matter with what blandish-
ments or inducements they are accom-
panied, to supplant it in the public
favor.

The Shore Railroad.

Whether the extension of the De-
troit, Bay City and Alpena railroad is
of vital Importance to Bay City every
business man and every citizen can
determine for himself by investigation.
The considerations involved lie all up
on the surface, and are easy to find by
whoever will seek them. It's a ques-
ton of progression or retrogression, Of
gaining a greater or losing the hold we
have upon the trade Of the shore
towns. There is one consideration
which of itself is sufficient to estab-
lish the conviction that this city can
not afford to permit the present oppor-
tunity to pass unimproved. The shore
counties expect that Bay City will as
sist them in realizing the expectations
which have been raised to fever heat
by the propositions of Gen. Alger and
his associates, and as a mere adver-
tisement, declaration of interest in
the welfare of the shore and an earn
est manifestation that we desire the
good will and business of the people
of those counties and are willing to
invest something in the means Of al.
lowing them to come to us, our citi-
zens can well afford TO contribute the
sum required to assure the extension
of the Alger road. These points, we
believe, are all appreciated by our cit
liens, and judging by the success of
the efforts that have been made to Sc
cure subscriptions, there is but little
probability of a failure; none, in fact.
The little work that has been done by
the committee has resulted in very
good start indeed, and the Tribune
feels sure there will not be n failure
in getting the entire amount in time
to insure the connection at Wells and
the extension to the Au Sable river
this fall. Keep the ball rolling, citi-
zens ; make up your minds what your
share Of the amount is, and be ready
to name it promptly when called up
on. With the subscriptions that have
already been reported, Mr.. Mann re-
ports the list as now standing as fol-
lows.

Wilson State Road.

The Montmorency Index has the
following to say concerning the work
done by Thomas Collins and Bolton d
McRae on the Wilson State road:
About a week ago we found it
necessary to make trip to Alpena,
and thus passed over the State road
through Wilson township, lately COM
pleted by Thomas Collins and Bolton
& McRae.
The work was done under the man.
agement of Thomas Collins, and is now
decidedly the best gravel road in the
county. The road extends from the
city limits to the farm of Joseph
Schell. The gravel on the first part
of the road next to Alpena, was OBJ
tanned near the old McElroy shanties,
and part of it was hauled distance
of four miles. The sandy ridges,
about two miles below the Lower
South Branch were bridged with hewn
ties, and then covered with a little
sand, sufficient TO make it smooth, al
though they are laid as close together
as possible, and thus makes a good
substantial road. The upper end, down
for a mile below the South Branch
is covered with kind of slate broke
up fine that they hauled from O'Toors
hill, near the farm of c. E. Mason,
which makes as fine road as could
be possibly made. The heavy sand
road that was heretofore dreaded by
lumbermen, is no more, and instead is
a smooth, hard surface, that an Or
binary team can haul even more than
a wagon can bear up over it.
Taking the road in all, and the
poor chance the contractors had, they
deserve credit fer the work they did.
and we can assure them that the citi-
zens of this county will appreciate it,
and hope that some day the road will
be good as far west as Hillman, but
our faith is not very strong at present.

|" The ShOre.v

For eighteen years the writer has
once or twice a year, and sometimes
thrice, made the trip to Alpena, and
not unfrequently to Cheboygan, and
having noted carefully every peculiar
ity of that section looked consider
ately through the region of country
back Of Cheboygan, Alpena, Harris
vile and Tawas; noted the progress,
especially in farming, in Alpena,
Montmorency and Altoona counties
from its incipiency, and compared the
results in the same calling in the coun-
ties of Macomb, st. Clair and Sagi.
nav, he has faith in the permanence
Of the business and development of
many portions of the shore which he
verify believes is not shared by one
twentieth Of the citizens of the coun-
ties named, and because of this faith
he would urge Bay City to so identify
herself with the enterprises, whatever
they may be, that look toward the de-
velopment of the shore and the estab-
lishment of more intimate connections
and lines of transportation that there

up, a large portion of whom consist
ed of members of the Pittsburgh Rod
and Gun Club, who were on a hunt
ing and fishing expedition to the
Snow islands, and among them were
lot of jolly young bucks armed with
Horace Greedy hats. Some of them
were labeled pittsburgh Gun Club"
These young fellows seemed to have
an idea that they could sing, and they
imagined that it was their duty to
give a jubilee concert for the benefit
of the people on the wharf. Why
they were so maliciously impelled, we
do not know. This city had never
done them any harm. The young men
began: "We are jolly band of
Pittsburgh boys" and then some boy
OH the wharf, whose musical ear was
being tortured, sung out: ooh, give
us rest" The jubilee corps on the
steamer paid no attention to the re-
mark and kept Oh, evidently under
the the delusion that they were sing
ing. They meant well, but the boys
on the wharf couldn't stand that sort
of thing and showered caustic remarks
at the glee club. One of the troupe
proposed three cheers for Alpena peo-
pie, the Pittsburgh boys heartily re-
sponded. More songs followed and
then an elderly gentlemen standing
at the open gangway, proposed three
cheers for the Alpena people, and the
boys on shore thought it was to cele-
brate the close of the singing, and
they joined in vigorously. BY this
time the tug Ralph had commenced
towing the steamer towards the bay,
and in a few minutes the darkness
hid her from view.
We hope those jolly Pittsburgh
boys will again visit Alpena, but if
they do, we beg of them not to sing.

shall be IA sentiment of gratitude as
well as q sense of interests best sub
served, which shall bind those locali-
ties to us as intrinsically part of a
social scheme which, entering in Bay
City, reaches throughout all the cas-
tern part of the lower peninsula Of
Michigan north of this point.
OF the lumber interests of the shore
it is unnecessary to write; that is UNI
derstood. 1t will continue at all
points for 10 years, at many points for
30, aud at some for 40 or 80 years.
Yet if this were all, we should say 60
slow with your aid, but it is not.
Iosco county has the best and most
extensive plaster beds in the world,
and, as we variably believe, the best
saline deposit in the world and be-
sides all this, it is from two-thirds to
three-fourths a good farming county,
which is more than you can say of
Oakland, st. Clair, and many other of
the old counties. Tawas City is i'm
proving to-day as she was never before
improving. On the hemlock road
which leads west of that place, 1000
tons of hay were harvested the pres
ent year, and competent judges esti-
mate the crop of Iosco, Altoona and
Alpena counties at double what it has
been in any former year, and this
in a year when farming in Bay makes
worse showing proportionately than
it has ever made before.
Already in Alpena county, where
the possibility of developing any farm
interests worthy of note was scoffed at
ten years ago by everybody, the agri-
cultural trade constitutes an impor-
tant item in the business of the mer-
chants, some counting it as full half
the amount of their gross transactions,
and in Altoona county it is to-day the
leading interest. Certainly the new
stone edifces in Alpena do not look
like temporary structures, or indicate
temporary calculations certainly the
superb new blocks in Bay City have
no look of that character and quite
as certain of those at Alpena. If
they are there to stay, business must
be developed to assure. a continuance
of present population and its ordinary
increase, and certainly if they are
here to stay Bay City must have
broad and generous commercial con-
nections.
OF the present there is no doubt.
OF the future, comparing the legiti-
mate prospects and resources of the
shore to-day with their legitimate
prospects and resources in sight fifteen
years ago, there is still less doubt
This matter of railroad connection
between Bay City and the shore is
vital question. A proposition to neg
lect or ignore this opportunity is equi-
lent to proposition to throw up the
sponge, and with malice, or mulish-
ness, aforethough to accept the pro-
phecy which is so freely made in re-
gard to every pine city, none Of which
have, to our knowledge, as yet accept
ed the situation, that it will soon take
a position as merely a lumber station.
