Climbed the Rapids.

Notwithstanding the predictions of
many that it could not be done, the City
of Cheboygan has been taken up Black
river, over the rapids, and is now active
ly engaged on Black lake. They started
with her Wednesday of last week, and
went as far as the foot of the rapids.
Thursday morning with a pressure of
10 pounds of steam. engine wide open,
they started up the rapids. At times it
was a question which would win, steam
or current, but she kept gaining, at
times being thrown by the swift cur
rent from one side Of the stream to the
other, pounding on rocks and grinding
on the bottom. Mr.. Smith, who was on
board, says that at one time II they could
have got turned around he would have
given the job up. 1t took them all day
Thursday to get over the worst part of
the route, but were only compelled to
use the warp but once, and that was for
a stretch of about half mile, She did
not reach the lake until Sunday morn
ing. Since then she has lowed across
the lake, from different points, 100000
feet of logs, towing in one boom 100000
feet.
She will make two round trips per day
between Archie Earl's landing on the
river. ana the head of Black lake; leav-
ing Earl's every morning at z o'clock,
making the run to the county line, head
of the lake in one hour. Leaves imme,
diatsly on her retern trip, arriving at
Earls dock at 9 a. m. In the afternoon
she leaves Earls at p. M, reaching the
dock at the head Of the lake at 5, and re-
turning, arrives at Earl's ate. The eiti-
zens at the head Of the lake held meet
ing and agreed to put in good dock for
the accommodation of the steamer, and
Mr.. Earl is going to build dock at his
landing. Mr.. Smith says he intends hay
ing daily stage run from Cheboygan
to connect with the boat. That il no
one else will start one he will himself.
This is an important move, and one that
our merchants should appreciate and
encourage, all in theirlpower, as it makes
tributary to Cheb6ygan large trade
that heretofore has gone elsewhere. With
1t in operation Cheboygan 10 their most
convenient market.

day night, and Sunday Capt. Bouchard
kept open house, and the handsome craft
was visited by large number Of our
citizens, who admired TIE boat and COM
plimented Messrs. Smith and Adams.
her owners, on their enterprise in secur-
ing SO fine boat for the north shore route.
1t was unanimously voted that she com
pletely fills the bill. She left Sunday
evening for Manistique, returning Tues
day evening, leaving again Wednesday
and returning yesterday. Capt. Bon-
chard says he has no trouble in making
his time. There seems to be some doubt
about the steamer Dix going on the
route between Escanaba and Manistiaue
and should she fail to do so, it is proba-
BILE that the Messenger will run through
to the former port. With her speed she
would have no trouble in making two
trips per week between this port and
Escanaba. The trade along the north
shore is increasing every year, and we
have no doubt that the Messenger will
prove just what was needed to accOmmO-
date the growing traffic, and prove a
profitable investment for her owners.
AS we have stated before. she is credit
to her owners and ChebOygan.

Future Life.

The future life of travellers on this
terrestrial sphere is destined to be a
happy one when their paths lie between
ChebOygan and the eastern cities, if
elegance and luxury in the appoint
ments of the principal highway will aid
toward that end.
The Michigan Central railroad has al
ways held foremost place amongst the
lines between the west and the Atlantic
seabOard, and the latest addition to their
accommodation in the shape of four
new dining cars will greatly strengthen
its position. These new cars are lncOm-
parable for beauty of design and select
ness of adornments. all the eleganeies of
art having been exhausted to produce
the most desirable effect. That the end
has been gained, goes without saying,
and they stand to-day as far in advance
OF other dining cars as the first dining
cars were in advance of the lunch cOun-
tiers at wayside stations.
The cuisine Is quite on par with. the
finish of the cars, and all that may min
lister to the nourishment of the body, or
tickle the palate of the most discrimi-
mating epicures, will be found therein.
They are certainly great attraction
to the Michigan Central line, and doubt
less the company will reap the hoped
for harvest of increased patronage from
the travelling public.

ing. building corraIs etc. until there
are at present over one hundred and six
ty-five head Of cattle ON the premises,
including increase. Two cabins are on
the rancho, and two mon are employed
constantly. The land Is on the old
Murtaj rancho, but plenty Of govern
ment land without water adjoins, so
that the practical area is very large.
The owner left for the rancho for a
short trip yesterday, bat as the trip
each way consumes about four days, q
week spent there, would bring Mr..
Thompson back about two weeks from to-
day The route Is via the San Fernan-
do Pass and San Francisquito canon,
over Turner's Pass to Elizabeth Lake,
thence to the left over the southern part
Of the Beale ranchos to the San Rafael
range, in which the rancho is located,
looking out north into the valley Of the
Cuyana river, which rises in Ventura
county. runs into Santa Barbara county,
and debouches into the ocean near
Guadalupe. There is plenty Of game in
the vicinity, including superduity Of
grizzlies, who sometimes kill cattle.
This business is to be stopped, and
when his father returns, jeff win leave
for his third trip 10 the rancho with a
complete arsenal and abundant aminuni-
ton, when the grizzlies will bite the
dust. But when the outfit returns with
q quantity Of dried bear and venison, we
will know that the cattle are safe.
jeff Is good shot, and the jerked bear
meat will be here.

How % Aaarlx sheep,

There is much complaint in the East
About the manner in which California
shsep are branded, on the ground that
the present custom injuries the quality
and condition Of the wool for manafsc-
turing purposes. The Sejsstjee 1m<ri-
ear gives the following recips for brand
ing sheep that will mot injars the wool;
Shsllac, 2 o.; borax, 2 o. water. rs
o.; gum arabic. 2 o.; lampblack suffi-
cient Boil the borax and shellac in
water till they are dissolved. and with
draw from the fire. When tho solution
has become cold complete 25 ounces with
water, and add lampblack enough to
bring the preparation to suitable con-
sistency When 1t is to be used with .
stencil II must be made thicker than
when 1t is applied with brush. The
above gives black ink; for red ink sub
stituts Venetian red for lampblack; for
blue, ultramarine; and for green mix
ture Of ultramarins and chrome yellow.
1t i claimed that this mixture will ne
main permantly on the wool, safe from
any atmospheric change, but can be
readily removed BY the usual appli-
ances Of wool cleaning. II thin method
Is succsssful II viii be Of great .sdvan-
tage to the people Of Los Angeles county
who have lost heavily BY having their
shsep branded in tar in the good old
way. The experiment is well worth try
ing.

Treed BY a grizzly.

On Monday last, our we'll and favora-
bly, known friend, Mr.. G.. Washington
Buffer, while angling for speckled beau
ties in San Antonio Cafion, was fright
ened beyond recognition by his most
intimate friends, by the sudden appear
ance of a monster grizzly bear, which
made straight at him, and showed every
evidence Of longing for Canibal
feast. Bruin did not manifest the slight
est inclination to spare our friend, even
after George had tried to bluff her,
[Blufferl, by various gesticulations and
yells, calculated to rob her bearship of
her fondness for gentlemen out of town.
All attempts to frighten the brute away
proved vain, and every moment brought
her nearer, and showed the long, white
fangs and murderous claws, that would
speedily convert Washington into fish
bait, assorted sizes, unless he found
some means OF Immediate escape, which
fortunately stood near him in the form
OF tree, up which he climbed in less
time than il woula require to see that he
was the worst scared man in Cal. He
realized that unless he succeeded In kill
ing or binding the bear with his six
shooter, the small tree that supported
him, would soon bo torn from the
ground. After shooting five times with
out effect, he stendied his nerves with q
few whiffs from Tansill's Punch &c.
cigar, with which he was plentifully
supplied by Ball, at the p. o. Cigar Store,
and killed his persecutor with his last
cartridge. jy3l-tf.

State Of California with fish every day

thought more profoundly on the subject

Professor Huxley. In an address before
