I Some three years ago the contract
for building five miles and three
quarters of State road was let to Mr..
West. The road was to commence
about a mile from Doc Flanders and
run west. The work was to be paid
for in State lands at the rate of two
sections of land to the mile, and
eleven and one quarter sections were
reserved in Mr.. Vests name. To
date, so we are Informed. there has
been no work done on the proposed
road, and the time for finishing the
road has been extended three times.
In addition, the township of Green,
Alpena county, and the township of
Rust, in Montmorency county, each
agreed to give bonus Of $500 when
the road was completed. The people
interested in the completion of the
road ut last became tired of waiting
for Mr.. West to commence and finish
the work, and in addition to needing
the road, they could not see the JUS
ticc in Mr.. West, in reality, owning n
large tract Of land and paying no
taxes thereon, and n week or SO ago.
Supervisor Kelly, of Green township,
and Representative Case were dele
gated to 80 to Lansing and lay the
matter before the State authorities.
The gentlemen returned home last
week, and their representations Of
the situation has resulted in an
order from the State officials, that
Mr.. West complete the road he con.
tracted for by December 1st, 1885,
or else his contract will be declared
forfeited. 1t is about time the State
officials woke up in regard to the said
road and did justice to the people in
that section.

After months of depression in
business and hope deferred, we meet
here to take council and cheer each
other. And truly there is need of
something OF the kind. For months
we have been suffering with a severe
attack of the periodical dcpressions
that come upon the business affairs OF
tins country. Trade has been unsatls.
factory; fortunes have been wiped
out by the memorable hand OF inunda-
ton; mills are idle; warehouses emp
ty, and the usual attendants of strikes,
railroad wars, etc, are more severe
than ever, Sadder than all is the
thousands OF men out OF employment
who are anxious to earn their bread,
but are told from day to day there is
no work. The depression has been
very severe, but feel confident the
turning point has been past, and from
now on we shall improve. With your
conservatism in the east you may not
see it to-day, but in the west there
are signs of promise.
If you will take the cars and re-
turn with us, l will show you that l
am right. In the 1000 miles of
country between here and Cincinnati
l will show you thrifty fields, good
crops and comfortable homes, such as
nowhere else on earth can be seen.
These people have all been econo-
MIXING in the past few years, and are
ready now to purchase and consume.
From Cincinnati we will take you
another 900 miles into the south
west, through fields white with the
blossom of a coming cotton crop of
I,500,0O0 bales, the largest ever
known: Returning to Lincoln, We
VIII take you another l,OOO miles IN
TO the northwest through country

green as your ocean with the waving
corn that gives promise OF crop OF

have an abundance OF fruit, plenty OF

II is stated that of the 751 men
and boys employed in the above mills,
no man is employed at less than s1.25
per day, and less than 40 are en-
gagged at that price. AT some of the
mills married employees are said to
be supplied free with wood, and some
furnish ice free.
Another list of the average wages
