A Washington dispatch to the Detroit
Journal, dated December 10th, says !:
Senator Mcmillan to-day introduced q
bill for the establishment Of wind display
stations at Thunder Bay and Middle Is
lands, Lake Huron" The plan, as We
understand 1t, is to erect telephone line
from this city to North Point and proba-
bly, to the life saving station at Thunder
Bay Island. AS soon as the person In
charge of the weather Office In this city
receives from Washington orders in re-
gard to what signals to display above his
Office, he Is to transmit the same to Thun-
der Bay Island, and some one authorized
there will have tho proper signals display
ed. The system, II adopted, will be Of
great benefit to captains Of vessels going
UP or down the lake, for as they pass the
island they can get the desired informa-
ton in regard to storms, and can thus run
into this most excellent harbor and lay at
anchorage until the storm is over. A tel
phone line to the life saving stations will
also prove of much benefit In sending
timely notice OF wrecks, so that tugs can
90 to their relief without delay. A few
hours time In assisting stranded or
wrecked vessel is sometimes the means
OF preventing great loss Of property.
We hope the bill will pass.
