Prospective Barrel Mandatory

w. A. McCockley, OF Ohio, has been
In town some days, looking up the timber
resources Of this county. The object is
TO erect barrel making establishment
here, provided the location suits, and
there is sufficient timber to warrant the
firm he represents investing money hero
in such an enterprise. The timber prin-
cipally desired Is elm. Mr.. McCockley
was placed In charge OF Charles Johnston,
man we'll acquainted with timber re-
sources, and partial examination Of the
county has been made. The gentleman
Is favorably impressed with Alpena's adj
vantages, and Is we'll pleased 80 far with
the amount Of elm timber he has seen.
1t lie Mr.. McCockley's intention to visit
other localities and examine their 70.
sources as regards elm; thus 1t Is not yet
certain he will report In favor of locat-
ing the barrel mandatory here. The
prospect for Alpena Is good, and we trust
the gentleman will decide In favor Of this

possibilities Of Northern Michigan, and Il
never has and will not let such slurs on
Its home, as the one referred to, pass un.
noticed. III we are not mistaken, and we
don't think we are, the editor of the Ar.
Gus himself was the first TO publish an
invldious comparison of the two towns
and attempt To ridicule Cheboygan. AL
pena newspapers have In every case been
the aggressors In matters Of this kind and
we are pleased to know that the ARGUS
has come TO the conclusion that II is
foolish business for newspapers
The Tribune concludes It's weak apollo.
gy with an opinion oh the benefit OF pro-
lection as viewed through It's partisan
glasses, but the political part we pass
over In contempt, as IL has no place In a
local discussion. In former article the
Tribune made very doleful predictions re.
garding the future Of this part of the
shore district, but In the above extract he
withdraws part Of his untruthful state
ments made in former Issue, and thus
the title 1t placed at the head Of the arti.
Gle, IAN Inconsistent Paper" stands
very truly for the Tribune.
The charge that we have published ar
ticles predicting failure for Cheboygan
and a poor future, we say the ARGUS never
made such statement. Years ago we
may have had newspaper wars with Che
boygan papers, and tried to give them as
good fire as we received. But newspa.
pers lighting In those days did no harm.
They did good, because not many years
ago both Alpena and Cheboygan were
merely pine numbering towns, and tho
principal desire of the citizens OF both
places was to have good winter for lum.
bering, plenty OF water for driving logs,
and the saw mills did the rest. Tho
newspaper squibs OF those days served to
advertise both places, and they did not
injure In any way the manufacture Of pine
lumber.
But of late, when the great natural ad-
vantages Of the shore district have be-
come known, and new industries are
needed to keep in employment the great
increase In population, the ARGUS does
not engage in such work, and Is not gull
ty of publishing such untruthful state
ments as were made by the Tribune but
a few weeks ago.
1t Is not altogether with the Tribune's
mere opinion that we are concerned. The
Tribune undertook to state, as fact, that
the leading citizens Of Alpena were stat
ing that this city was doomed as soon as
the pine was cut. That statement of the
Tribune we decidedly objected TO, and we
called on the Cheboygan paper to submit
its proofs Of the grave charge. That is,
we asked it to give the names OF those
leading citizens who were making the
damaging statements. So far no proof
has been given by that paper.
We object to neighboring papers manu-
featuring damaging statements, such as
invented by the Tribune. 1t Is not right,
just, true, or neighborly.

Mayor O'Brien has been highly praised
for his conduct last Friday evening. The
case, as given us, is as follows; Mrs.
Casey was returning home to her mother,
she having left her husband some months
ago. Maurice Casey followed Mrs. Casey,
and overlook her OH Washington avenue,
between Third and Fourth streets, and
when discovered by Mayor O'Brien was
assaulting the woman. Mrs. Casey de-
Tended herself with club, and knocked
Casey down twice. The Mayor took a
hand In it and arrested Casey, took him
to the police station, but had to let the
man 60, as the station was closed and no
policeman at that place. Casey was after
wards arrested, and his examination takes
place to-day before Justice Cavanagh.
At tho time OF the row, two mon passed
close by but paid no attention TO the calls
Of the Mayor for assistance.

The Tribune Well Named Itself.

The following is from the Cheboygan
Tribune:
Tho Alpena ARGUS in its last issue
takes the Tribune TO task for resenting a
paper, and proceeds to read US column
lecture on newspaper ethics and the duty
the newspapers of the shore owe this Sec
ton. We coincide with the sage OF tho
Argus in regard to the bright possibilities
OF the shore country and the good things
no says by reference TO this Immediate
vicinity, but he has nothing new TO offer.
The Tribune was setting forth and advo-
eating the advantages OF Northern Mich
igan before one-half the journals that now
pirate as loud Of their loyalty was In exist
ence, and the other half were In swaddling
clothes. This paper bows to none In al
legiance or faith In the advantages and
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-02-03

To lie is wrong, but II the imbecile
Echo is going to make business Of will
full lying, 1t should not to tell weak ones.
For instance, last week 1t said the ARGUS
had no representative at the citizens
meeting. The editor was at Detroit on
business at the time the meeting was held,
but the reporter was present at the meet
Ing, and wrote the account Of the meeting
from what he heard while present Our
representative considered the remarks Of
Mr.. Freeze, as representing the sentiment
Of the laboring men, worthy OF short
summary and that certainly was not cop
led from the daily damager. The social
ed daily should cease lying, but can't. 1t
might get cured Of that vice, but we do
not believe 1t will ever get cleansed of
foolishness and idioticy under the present
MANAGEMENT.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-02-03

The Echo, which Is masquerading about
town under the name Of daily, under
took last week to give its opinion OF the
ARGUS, but like all Of it's opinions, it sends
forth newspaper garbage Of the rankest
kind. OF course it cannot help it, for be-
ing weak Drained and frothy, It's ideas
must also be but trash and mental rub
bish of very low order. AS regards this
poor apology for a newspaper we will
take other evidence. The Morning Star
Of Manistique, says Of It;
THE Alpena Evening Echo, little
daily not larger than hotel napkin and
worth much less. The Star declines to
exchange"
That Is certainly not very nattering
advertisement for this city, and can only
tend to make outsiders, who are not &C.
quainted with Alpena, have but poor
opinion Of tho city, when Its vain, ignor-
ant self-pralsing Echo is not considered
worth as much as an hotel napkin. II
the Star had said tho Echo was not worth
as much as hotel soiled paper napkin,
1t would have come pretty close to the
actual fact.
In a communication published in the
Pioneer Of last week, Justice Gjoroud
renders the following opinion OF the out
cast and inbecile sheet that Is labeled the
Echo
AT this critical period OF Alpena's
history, when 1t Is very important to the
interests of our city that 1t should appear
in the best light possible before the out
side world, this hap-hazzard system of
kid-brained Journalism ought not to be
tolerated much longer. It is arousing a
sufficiency Of Indignation and capital to
start daily paper In few weeks that
will be worthy Of our city and credit to
our citizens. = That we need
such paper no one will deny that the
Echo under Its present management, is
not such q paper, all falr-minded people
are compelled to admit in disgust"
And yet this Echo sheet has the cheek
to blow its tin horn and proclaim It's
great work of building up Alpena, and
possesses imprudence enough to claim to
represent this energetic city. 1t ought
to be enough to disgust every vol wisher
Of Alpena and the best thing to do with
1t would be to bury it at the bottom OF
the old mineral well for thirty years and
let the magnetic water tone IL up, IL 1t
can.
AS we showed last week, the efforts Of
the miserable, vagrant Echo have been to
injure this city by creating enemies, and
unjustly attackinga number OF honorable
capitalists who had already expressed
their intention Of investing large sums Of
money, in giving Alpena another railroad.
How can community prosper with such
parasites and pests as the Echo circulat-
ing about and pretending to represent
Alpena?
Aside from its rankness as pretense
for a paper, 1t Is disgusting TO note the
manner i'm which its columns arc teeming
with Sunday Sunism, and little petty
filings of personal character, thrown at
persons against whom the self-constitutcd
guardian of Alpena has some frivolous
spite, and then Offering to sell himself
and say nothing about tho affair II paid
his prlcc--a box OF cigars-a mighty high
price for that class of filth.
