Foolish Business for Newspapers.

The Cheboygan Tribune Of January 18th
contained the following
Cheboygan asks for dry dock, claim
ing that they are the center Of wreckage
on the lakes. II they don't get a-hustling
soon, what they say may be too true OF
their little city.-Alpena Echo.
"That is rich," responds the Cheboy-
gan Tribune, looming from town with
q bankrupt treasury, large amount OF
orders outstanding and which can't be
paid, and its leading citizens admitting
that Alpena's name will be pants as
soon as the numbering Is done. Cheboy-
gan is In no such box"
Such remarks as the above are not
creditable to either OF the papers. They
are untrue as neither Alpena or Cheboygan
are going to ruin and obscurity. On the
contrary, both places have bright and
prosperous future before them, and Meth.
or will die when the pine In their vicinity
Is all manufactured. Such untruthful
statements from newspapers, In regard
to their own region, has tendency to
retard the growth Of the shore district.
They tend to make the people who live
in thenorthern part Of the lower peninsula
Of Michigan dissatisfied, and they hinder
new industries from being started.
The present managers OF the Echo have
been In this part of the State but short
time, and thus are not fully aware Of the
natural advantages and great resources.
The Cheboygan Tribune editor has been
located in his present place for many
years, and ought to know better and show
more reason in his remarks. He ought
to know that both Alpena and Cheboy-
gan are magniflcently located; that they
have great resources on which to build
bright future that in the shore region
from Tawas to Cheboygan there are Inn
mense tracts of fertile farming lands,
equal to any In the State for producing
bountiful crops ofnearly all kinds Of grains;
that 1t is not excelled by any part Of the
United States for growing the best vege-
tables on earth that Il has proved to be
a first class region for growing apples,
cherries, plums, strawberries, black berries
huckieberrles and other fruits. Both
Alpena and Cheboygan have first class

Magnetic Well.

All of last week the we'll drillers were
working at the same species Of hard white
limestone that they found on the Gath OF
December last, and the strata had not
been pierced through when the we'll drill
ers ceased work temporarily last Saturday
night, making 284 feet without break In
the strata. The following Is the record
up to ten o'clock Saturday, during last
week:
18th, fifteen feet of hard white lime
stone.
18th, twenty feet Of hard white lime
stone.
18th, eight feet Of hard white limestone.
18th, eighteen feet Of hard white lime.
stone.
10Th, thirteen feet of hard white lime
stone.
10th, twenty feet of white limestone.
In tho last ten feet stone was found to be
very soft and in 1t was struck what is be-
lieved to be the much priced magnetic
mineral water.
During Saturday evening six more feet
were drilled and work temporarily ceased.
The following will show the totals OF
the various strata drilled through to date;
Sand, 80 feet; gravel, Q feet shale,
205s; sandy limestone, 5 feet; granite,
80 feet; white limestone, 1904 feet gray
limestone, So feet. Total depth 1 ,06s feet,
and 1886 hours time were required to
do the work.

When the express arrived last Thurs
day evening 1t brought with it the chair
car Ivanhoe, being the first Of that style
OF railway cars In use since the winter
time table went into effect, November
10Th, 1891. Previous to that date there
had been through train from this city to
Detroit, but the train did not arrive here
until nearly twelve o'clock at night.
After the new time table had gone into
effect, the express did not go any farther
south than Alger, and passengers on 1t
were transferred to Michigan Central
train. The new time card, In regard to
trains leaving from and arriving at this
city has given general satisfaction. Some
grievance was manifested because there
was no chair car attached to the train.
Some time ago we made inquiries as to the
reason there was no such car, and we then
learned that prominent citizens had inter-
viewed General Alger on the subject, who,
at that time, was not aware the chair car
had been removed. We were also told
that the railroad company would have q
chair car attached to the express as soon
as one could be obtained. These social
cd palace cars are not owned by the rail-
road companies, but are the sole proper
ty Of the palace car companies, who rent
them to the railroads.
During 1890, from the last official re-
port received at this Office, the Detroit,
Bay City & Alpena railroad paid tho Wag.
ner Palace Car Co. 81 ,962.45 for the use
OF chair car. We also understand that
the Wagner Co. received all the fees paid
by travellers to the person in charge OF
the car. We were also informed that 1t
is difficult to get chair car at this time
of the year, as there is great demand
for them, but that one would be attached
to the train as soon as the company could
get one. The action of the railroad CON-
pany last week shows the report was cor
rect. The first two evenings 1t arrived
here 1t had but three persons In It each
time. The car goes only as far as Alger
and is drawn back here the same day.
The connecting train has q parlor car.

rbors. Back of them are immense for

harbors. Back of them are immense for.
ests OF hemlook, maple, birch, beech,
tamarack and other valuable hardwoods.
These natural resources, alone, when
developed, are sufficient to maintain In
prosperity far larger towns than Alpena
and Cheboygan, and thus there Is no
sense In certain newspapers, In order to
display little cheap wit, TO be engaged
In lying about their neighbours territory.
We believe this whole shore Of eastern
Michigan, from Tawas to Cheboygan, has
interests In common and that one part
cannot suffer injury without infiicting
some damage on the other. We also be-
lieve that Alpcna or Cheboygan cannot
be prosperous without some benefit ac-
crulng from such prosperity to each
other.
The Cheboygan papers can help their
section far more by stating the many ad-
vantages their county possesses than by
lying about their neighbors. The better
they can show the whole shore region to
be, the better 1t Is for themselves.
AS regards those prominent citizens
that the Tribune speaks Of as prophecy
Ing future disaster to Alpena, we would
like to have the Tribune to name them,
so that tho people may know who they
are, and whether their opinions are
worthy Of notice.
We have not the space to speak fully OH
this subject In this Issue, but will try In
future issues to show what this county
has been doing, what Is the reason city
orders are not paid, and other matters.
In the meantime we can assure those
doleful and untruthful prophets that
there are In this county about II, 900 souls
and that those people, not including the
few rich lumbcrmen, are collectively
worth many millions of dollars In i'm
proved farms, hardwood lands, valuable
stone quarries, houses, lots, cash, ETC.,
although individually thoy are not rich.
And let it be remembered that the great.
or majority Of these persons are here to
live and make Alpena their home, and
expect to remain while they live. These
people are energetic and Industrious, and
they will not only maintain Alpena In It's
present prosperous condition, but will
leave 1t as an heritage to their children
In far more prosperous state.
1t will be many years before the pine Is
all numbered that has to come to Apena
mills, and 1t will be long time before
the hardwood timber Is all used up.
At present there are three new indust.
ries, separate from the saw and single
mills, that are In operation winter and
summer, and one runs night and day.
They employ over one hundred men the
entire year. We refer to the sulphite
paper pulp factory, the hemlock bark ex-
tract works and the spool works.
Up at Cheboygan we learn that new in
dustries are being commenced, and we
have not the least doubt but that the
same spirit animates the people there
that II does here.
Tawas is another place on the shore
from which we expect much. It is also
greatly favored by nature.
