The following argument advanced by
a lumber Journal in the Eastern part
Of the State will apply with equal force
to ~Cheboygan. We have unexcel!ed
shipping facilities while the supply of
raw material Is unequaled. 1t says:
"Can anybody give a good reason why
this city should not have a match fac
tory, in fact why it should not be the
centre of a large business in that line?
We would suggest the idea to our en-
terDrising business men. The lumber
certainly is here and in large supply
and il they could be made prehtably
from refuse that certainly can be had
for a song. Labor can be had az eco
nomically as anywhere in the country.
and our communication by water and
rail would enable manufacturers to lay
down goods In any city in the country
at low rates. In fact this city is not
engaged in manufacturing, especially
in woodenware, anything or everything
that can be made Of wood to a 1.-THE of
what it should be and might be from
it's natural advantages, If the monied
men Of this place would but look about
them and take up what appears to be
the most profitable. Salt and lumber
are good, but thete ia no more reason
why manufacturers a hundred o. a
thousand miles from here should buy
our lumber and return us the manufac-
tured goods, than in sending cur iron
ore, wool, cotton, petroleum or any
other of the numerous products of the
country to Great Britain, and receiving
back the products of their skill, with
its cost Of shipment, freight, insurance,
commission, ETC., added to it. Our board
of trade and citizens should be on the
lookout continually for such chances,
and to go to the trouble and expense, If
necessary. to induce them to look st
this city with all Its advantages"

white people from the Cherokee Nation.
The large number of whites residing in the
Territory under the permit law are greatly
alarmed. The vast livestock, coal-mining
and other valuable interests are mostly
owned by non-residents. Although this bill.
in its present form, will fail of its purpose
they fear other legislation detrimental to
them will be effected, as a modified bill is
being prepared which, it is believed, will re-
ceive the signature Of the Chief. The ex-
pulsion of the whites the Cherokees gem
orally favor, claiming that the intruders are
creating a system OF usurpation adverse to
the best interests OF the Cherokees as a ma
ton and a people. The vete created much
