encouragement the road will be built.
1t would be an important addition to
the interests of Cheboygan, Alpena
and the northern portion of the State.
We believe that when the time comes
the entcrprising manufacturers and
business men of Cheboygan will not
be found wanting but will be ready
to contribute their share towards Sc
curing tho road. We are assured
that the Detroit men mean business.
l-Cheboygan Tribune.
I The railroad referred to in the
above, which we take from the Che
boygan Tribune, will start from Al
pena and run through Presque Isle
county via the south part of the town
ships Of Krakow and Posen, thence
through T 33 N, r 5 f, to the north
west corner Of that town it will then
run almost due west, or about so to
the boundary lines between the town
ships of Belknap and Bismarck,
Belknap and Case, and Belknap and
Allis, until it reaches about the center
of the southerly tiers of sections in
T "a N, r 2 E; from thence it will
strike almost north through T "a N.
r 2 +, to about the vicinity of the
Shaw p. o., and from that spot will
continue on in q north-westerly dircc-
ton between Black Lake and Mullet
Lake until it reaches Cheboygan.
BY this course it will secure the bulk
of the pine remaining in Presque Isle
county and at the same time traverse
either through or in close vicinity to
our best farming lands. A loop line
will be run through in Northwestern
ly direction from Posen to Rogers
City, which is the shore center of the
largest body of hardwood lands in the
Lower Peninsula, and where blast fur
naces will be erected and heavy fur
niture and woodward manufactures
are also certain to be established.

The Presque Isle Advance has the
following to say in regard to the pro-
posed railroad from Alpena to Che
boygan:
For sometime past we have known
that certain Detroit capitalists had
been considering the matter of build
ing railroad from Alpena to Che
boygan, but until recently the matter
had not materialized sufficient to
promise any definite results. Within
the past few weeks things have devel-
oped so far as to offer any promising
results, providing those interested in
the project can secure the co-opera-
ton of those interested along the pro-
posed line of road. We are reliably
informed that the parties interested in
the project are among the leading
capitalists of Detroit, with abundant
means to carry it through successful
ly, and that if the right of way can
be secured and sufficient encourage
ment received from those having large
landed interests in the section of the
State through which the proposed
road will pass, the work will be com.
menced this fall and energetically
pushed forward to completion. The
road would pass through some of the
best farming lands in Michigan
and also through some of the best
pine lands in northern Michigan, and
open up section that otherwise would
be long in developing. The road is
to be standard guagc and built en-
tirely Independent of any other road.
As we understand it, all that re-
mains to assure the building of the
road is the proper support Of owners
along the line of the road and Of the
citizens of Alpena and Chcboygan.
If these give the projectors reasonable

From Lakeside Monitor.

From Lakeside Monitor.
Thursday evening Gov. Alger and
Milo b. Eastman came to town for
the purpose Of looking over the pro-
posed route through the town for the
extension Of the railroad to Black
River The route which appeared to
be most advisable was to continue the
road from the end Of the "Y," through
by the fair ground, making the depot
location at or near the brine tank and
near the cemetery. From here the
road will pass up along the river until
it reaches point near Sylvester
Vaughn's farm, where it will cross
over. 1t has been decided to COM
mcnce the survey at once, and the
work Of construction as soon as the
right-of-way can be obtained. In fact
have the road completed to Black
River by the time navigation closes.
A portion of the bed of the log road,
reaching several miles this way, will
be made use of for the passenger road.
A short branch to Mud Lake, COM
mencing at or near Bristol station,
will, also, we understand, be built.
1t is calculated to bring large por-
ton of the long timber now RATED
from Black River, to Tawas Bay by
rail, and there make up the RATS.
Much timber for the mill at this place
will also be shipped over the road from
lands which have not yet been reach
ed from the river. The boom which
the construction of the extension will
give to laboring men in the way of
wages can be appreciated. The only
fault the Monitor has to find, is that
the depot was not located at or some
where near Beadle's stopping place,
about 10 miles up the river. This
would have given hack men chance
to earn their money.

From Oscoda Saturday Night.
Thursday evening Gov. Alger, A
M. Henry and Milo Eastman, respect
lively president, attorney and general
superintendent of the Detroit, Bay
City and Alpena railroad, arrived in
town. They come for the purpose Of
taking a preliminary look over the
ground, with the idea of extending
the road to Black River. Yesterday
forenoon they drove out TO Vaughn's
farm to look for the most suitable
place for the road TO cross the Au
Sable river. At noon Gov. Alger
left for home, Mr.. Henry and Mr..
Eastman remaining over until noon
to-day.
The Saturday Night can authori-
lively state the following in regard to
the prospects of the roads going far
Their this season: In all probability
the road will be extended to connect
with the Black River log road before
the ground freezes up this fall although
this is not certain, as no survey has
yet been made, the present visit of
Gov. Alger, Mr.. Henry and Mr.. East
man being only q preliminary look
over the situation. Inability to pro-
cure steel rails for the track may pos
sibly prevent the roads being put
through this fall. Gov. Alger receiv-
ed telegram after his arrival here,
stating that the rails could not be de-
livered during November. The rails
must be had by the first of No
vember if the track is laid this fall.
But probably arrangements can be
made irsome way to get the rails in
time to put the road through before
Christmas. If the road goes through
this fall, the following will be the
route, providing no difficulties or OBJ
structions not now known are discov-
cred: Beginning at the "Y," it will
run back of the driving park, back Of
the cemeteries, crossing the Au Sable
on "Vet" Vaughn's farm, near his
house; it will then pass near the foot
of Van Ettan lake and so on to con-
meet with the log road back of Har-
risville.

To Me Hon. tie Common Council Of hs City Of
And to the committee appointed by your honorable
body to inquire into certain matters pertaining to
the Alpena City Water works, We make the follow
ing reply as requested by your committee, and
with due respec. TO your honorable body and your
committee;
I. In answer TO your first article. We call
your attention to the fact that In the contract
with the city, section number seven, we are
permitted IN case OF hres to use water from
also with the exception Of short time last spring,
caused by the freezing up OF the inlet pipe, we
claim the city has practically boen supplied with
the company at other times have received no COM
plants from the consumers Of water on account Of
the quality or qusntity. and We commend your
IN caring and watching, as it Is your duty, for the
interests of the city and the water consumers.
z we admit ut times the pressure is low, but we
think not 80 low as to prevent our doing JUS
tice 20 our consumers, and know of no case whore
property has persisted or been destroyed on ac-
count Of the inability Of the water works TO fur
nsh water at all stoge of fire OF fires in sufiicient
quantity OF quantities TO extinguish Il or them
Nor have we had any complaint from our con-
tenton to the fact that are furnishing one hun
dred seventy-nine and one-fifth gallons each day
TO each user Of water in the city, while Bay City
furnishes only lightweight and one-half gallons
per head, Fall river, Mass, 50 gallons; Trenton
New Jersey, 46I gallons Middleton, Ohio, 10 3-5
gallons; Sidney, Ohio, 10 3-5 gallons; Lexington
U.s. ~ Bhllouts lfhNtist Oitys Ilcn., on HhlOue
and we have IL more than either Detroit OF Port
Huron, but on account Of an ambiguity In the sta
tistics, we do not quote those cities.
We most respectfully call attention Of the hon.
body, the Common Council OF the city OF Alpena,
70 the fact that so far sgroed by contract with
the Alpena City Water Works Co., In section No.
contract with the city, you have failed TO pass an
ordinance for the enforcement OF rules concerning
the use Of water, that was then not 30 large,
excessive and sxtravagant waste Of water and
which waste the company can not fully control.
The company have ample power and capacity 10
keep up sufficient force or pressure at all times
TO reach the highest point required either for do
mestic use OF fire protection. This IL also an an
swer 20 your third article.
T. The company have carefully considered the
recommend Of your committee that for all pur-
poses the city be supplied with filtered water taken
from the river and while they are Of the opinion
that 1t would DO better for the city and water con-
sumors yet IL would entail on the company large
expense unnecessary TO them under contract with
