Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1883-07-18

The comfort of steamboat passen-
gers depends to a considerable extent
on the stewart of the boat, and real
izing this fact, some of the citizens of
this place are doing what they can to
have the new steamer City of Macki-
nae supplied with stewart that they
know to be capable, polite, and very
attentive to the wants of the travelling
public. For this purpose, we under
stand that the managers of the City
of Mackinac have been petitioned to
try and obtain the services of l..
Thorne, the present stewart of the
steamer Keweenaw. Mr.. Thorne is
well and favorably known, and that
too by the best of information-actual
experience of his manner of looking
after the comforts of passengers, and
if he should be employed, we are of
the opinion that he will be very ac-
ceptable to the people of the shore.
OF course the people here do not in
tend or expect to interfere with the
management of the said steamboat
line, but there is no doubt but that
they will extensively patronize the
new boat, and there is nothing wrong
in merely making request to appoint
an official that they know has given
good satisfaction.

Some unknown person sends the
following to the Port Huron Sunday
Commercial, but VIC doubt the story
very much:
The Knights of Labor have two
large lodges in Alpcna and they are or
ganizing what will be one Of the most
important labor strikes ever known in
Michigan. The lumber showers and
mill hands in city where one hun
dred and cighty-five million feet of
logs are sawed into lumber each sum-
mer and loaded into vessels, and where
five single mills are in constant OPP
Grafton, a strike of operatives will be
formidable, and when, as is their plan
they go a step farther and send away
from the town all laborers who do not
join them, trouble may be feared.
It is possible that the situation of
Muskegon will be repeated and that
State troops will be again sent to pre-
serve order before the end of July.

The records in the county clerks
Office show that from February 14th,
1871, to December 30th, 1882, there
are recorded 2,161 births, $50 deaths
and 1913 marriages. This shows that
in eleven years and ten months the
recorded births outnumber the record
ed deaths by 1, 4S1, while the number
of marriages have exceeded the
deaths. The deaths have averaged
less than five per month in a popula-
ton ranging from 1856 in 1870, to
$3.50 in 1880, and about 10000 at
present, and shows that Alpena coun-
ty is a healthy place to live in. Many
of the deaths are the result of acct
dents in the woods, and from diseases
contracted in other places. The
births are a little over three to one as
compared with the deaths.
