Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1893-07-12

hurried trip could be made to the
other new industries of Alpena.
Then the party drove across Ninth
street bridge to Chisholm street,
then to Second, then to Washing
ton avenue, then to the spool works,
after which few minutes were
occupied in driving about the beau
tifully shaded parts of Second, First
and State streets, then the guests
were landed at the Magnetic Sui
phur Spring Co. bath house. 1t
had been the intention to take
trip to the Churchill lumber mill
to show the editors how modern saw
mill can eat up logs, and to otherparts
of the city, but time was up, and
the steamer City of Alpena was
blowing her warning whistle, call
ing the passengers to return to the
boat.
At the steamers landing the scene
was especially interesting and full
of joyous life. The side of the
steamer was alive with people
standing on the various decks and
forming several tiers of humanity.
On the wharf were hundreds of AL
pena residents and visitors. Every
body appeared in the best of hu-
NOR. Sounds of merriment could
be heard on every side. Music
from the band floated harmonious
ly through the air, and some of the
selections by the Germania band
so pleased those on the steamer that
applause was several times gener-
ously rendered. Groups of newly
made friends were bidding their
farewells. On the upper deck of
the steamer was an enthusiastic
group who were shouting out the
the war cries of the American Press
Association. A few had tin trum-
pets. As the band played lively
waltz it's effect could be seen by
some of the ladies OH the steamer
who beat time in sort of half waltz.
One of the shouts was: "What's
the matter with Alpena?" and the
answer the visitors gave was "She's
all right"
In the midst of the merriment a
little harbor tug made fast to tn
mammoth steamer, and "All
aboard was shouted" The
lines were cast off, and the
steamer and her 400 passengers be-
gan to glide away from the wharf,
a parting tune was sent after them
by the band, those on the wharf
gave rousing farewell cheer to the
editors and wished them q merry
trip, hundreds of handkerchiefs
waved in the air, and one of the
most pleasurable events of the sea-
son came to an end and the visit of
the Michigan Press Association was
over.
Judging from thepleasant express
sions on the faces of Alpena's guests
and the many good words the WIS.,
TORS had to say of Alpena and her
people, we are of the opinion that
the members of the Michigan Press
Association carried away with them
very pleasant memories of their
short stay in this city, and we be-
lieve that their remembrance of AL.
pena and her citizens will be one OF
pleasure to be long remembered.
