The shipyard at this place is working
employing 40 men. This means a great
deal as a ship carpenter is no heap man
The dry dock can now take in the largest
boat on the lakes as it has been lengthen-
ed to 338 feet. The width Of the Kewau-
nee ferry boats is little two much for It's
| gates, but there is no dock on Lake Michi-
gan that can admit these elephantlne
| boats.
| The greater part OF the work done here
this winter is repairing though some new
boats have been built. There has also
been considerable rebuilding done.
| Hammel's tug is still on the stocks,
though completed and ready for launch
ing, and awaiting favorable weather. She

& Co. OF Two Rivers.
| The EIgence Hart is now in the DOCK.
She has been cut through the middle and
| will be heightened % feet and receive
steel arches. This Improvement will
| make her fine looking boat. The An
drew J. Smith is in the dock with the
fart. She is cut down to light water
mark and will be rebuilt from that line
up. This tug is from the Sault

The steamer Ludington in attempting
20 force its way into the harbor Oh Satur-
day last got stuck solid. She worked
through the Ice until near the mouth Of
harbor and remained there throughout
Sunday. The water in the bay was
frozen as far out as the eye could reach.
Boys, with the usual spirit of daring were
out in the bay skating.
The Z. Il. p. NJ. No . came in on Mon
lay and cleared theic for the Ludington
which had been ice bound at the mouth
of the harbor for the two days preceding.
1t has been decided by United States
court, streams on which logs may be
hoated are public highways.
1t was reported from Frankfort that
the crew of the Ann Arbor No l. from the
;aptain down, had struck for higher
wages and that the steamer would re-
main at the dock until matters were ad-
Justed. In explanation of this il is
stated by those interested that the boat
aad been just accepted by the railroad
company, that the builders had been run
ning it up to that time and that the
ahange made necessary Encouragement
Of the men. The fact that the crew are
dissatisfied with the boat remains indis-
putable, however. The ferry boats have
not paid thus far, and the experiment is
/ success only in showing that ferry
boats are possible. With improvements
and good harbors they are the coming
thing.
Captain Hart of Green Bay is in the
city experimenting the improvements
being made on his steamer, the Eugene
Hart.
