It has in some way become reported
that Alger, Smith s. Co., were wind
ing up their business at Black River
and would transfer their headquarters
to Seney. This is certainly a mistake.
Messrs. Alger, Smith e. Co. are lum-
boring extensively in the Upper PENN
sula, but their headquarters and the
heaviest part of their business will be-
at Black River for many years to
come. They still have considerable
timber in Altoona and Oscoda counties,
and have recently acquired large
tra.ts la Prssane Isie aud Montinorsn-
cy. The extention of their line north
will open up much timber, and we
have inside information that they will
build branch from 33-4 in Pressure
Isle to Twin Lakes In the southwest
corner of Montmorency county. The
timber FROM this vast country will in
crease their business at Black River,
which will be larger in five years than
it is o-day.-AlpenG Pioneer

daughter of Anthony Hagar of this town
and an accomplished young lady.
An old gentleman in an adjoining
town who is an eccentric genius, has a
novel way of taking measurements. One
day last week he desired to get the width
of door, his intention being to go to
the lumber yard nearly half annie dis
tant, and get material enough for one of
the same size. He took the measure by
extending his hands to either side. With
his arms in this position, he then started
for the lumber yard. When about half
way, thoughtless neighbor stopped
him for a hand-greeting, and the
measurement was lost.
