The Best Family Paper.

! The Detroit Commercial Advertiser,
now in the 25th year of its existence,
is the very best general family weekly
published in the United States OF
Canada. ii numbers more old sub
scribers on its lists subscribers who
could not do without the paper"
than any other journal in the country.
and it has become maxim rarely dis
proved. "once a subscriber always a
subscriber" to this magnificent week.
ly. 1t is ably edited and the wants of
all classes of readers are well supplied,
while it retains that marked indlyidu-
ality of purpose which alone is the
stamp of true success in either the
press or pulpit. IN the words of its
prospectus, it is truly independent ;
frankly commends that which is good,
and fearlessly condemns all that is
evil in political or social life"
1t is journal of pages, columns
to page, and is printed in excellent
type, ON good paper, IA matter Of great
importance to readers. The following
description of the general contents of
its pages and various departments will
not be amiss:
On page ]. over a column of excel
lent poetry is found. and right here we
will say that the Detroit Commercial
Advertiser has grand reputation
among lovers of poetic gems. Short
articles, humorous or wise, and occa-
sionally a short story, make this page
very interesting. Page is the story

stories are concluded in the same
number, but with the first week of

months. Page 3 is by far the most

round table all are welcome who have
any subject of merit or value to pre-
sent for the discussion or edilication of
their fellow readers. 1t WAS added as
feature of the paper in 1882 and at
once become wonderfully popular with
the subscribers. Pages and are

wherein are given current prices of all
the important Detroit markets, as well
as elsewhere. Page is the Farm
stead department and contains a vast
amount of useful information for the
farmer, the dairyman, the stock and
poultry raiser.
In 1868 the publisher adopted the
plan of giving his subscribers cash
premiums instead of maps, chromos,
etc. The plan met with such con-
tinued popularity that there has been
an annual award to the subscribers of
the Commercial Advertiser every year
since. The Award of Premiums is
taken in entire charge by committee
of subscribers appointed from those
present at the time of the award. The

CHANGES IN THE CANAL.
The Improvements and the Effect on
Dependent Mills.

For a month past the milling fraternity
has been vitality interested in the matter of
the repairs and changes 10 the West side
canal and the consequent shutting down of
the mills. 1t was understood as definite
proposition that the work on the canal was
TO begin July 4. but when GLOBE re-
porter visited the platform yesterday after
noon, there was no evidence Of it. The
mills were in operation and expected to
continue for some time yet, showing that no
very correct idea of when the water would
be shut off Is In general circulation. Agent
Delabarre could not be found and the in
formation obtained was CLEANED from one
or two posted idlers, who made the plat
form their headquarters. The principal
changes to be made are in the headgates
of the canal and the substitution for the
present platform. which is a wooden,
rackety affair, of a substantial iron one.
As part of the headgates is new, only
about two-thirds of the water will
be cut off while the repairs are
being made, and some of the mills
will endeavor TO struggle along with
the reduced water current; but the state
ment is made that il will be difficult and
unsatisfactory work and not justified by the
present condition of the -four market. 1t is
doubtful even if those mills with steam
power will make much of a run during the
enforced idleness, though they may put
their engines in motion. The PillsburY A,
Phoenix and Columbia viii not be affected
by the canal, and those having steam power
are the Petit. Palisade, Anchor and Wash
burn A and C, total capacity of about
10. 600 bbls. daily. The other sixteen mills
will be idle from sheer necessity. as they are
entiralv deDqDdent ON the water of the
canal. AT least five weeks will be required
for the contemplated Improvements and il
may be longer, and the mills will, of course,
employ the idle time in getting ready FOL
the new wheat crop.
1t is probable that active work on the i'm
provements will begin tomorrow, and il
will be day or two longer before
| the water is cut off from the
canal. The track work on, and the COW
ering of, the canal can be carried or
while the canal is still open. and this viii

probably be the case. Three crews of men
will be kept at work, night and day, and no
time will be lost in pushing the changes to
completion. These plans, however, may
be again altered before Monday morning.
The West side mill-owners are now agi-
tating plan for carrying city water to the
mills, and it is probable the special COM
mittee appointed on Friday, will see the
wisdom of granting their request. The
committee has power to act and will an
nounce its conclusion at meeting to be
held on Tuesday aftSmOOn. The PROPOSE
ton to lay mains along the canal and in
the rear of the mills is not a new one, tim
objects urged having been to supply proc
lection from fire as we'll as for consumption
in the mills. \ six-inch pipe is desired, the
millers to pay all cost of connection and
the representation of the public necessity
of running the mills during the canal re-
pairs. will undoubtedly carry much weight
with it.
