capt. l.. LeCialr6 Will nave charge
the tug Temple Emery the coming sea
son.
The Isolda Book came down the rive
this week and left with a cargo of bricl
for ManIstee.
The Eugene Hart went ont on Tuesday
night after receiving considerable repairs
at the dry dock.
TIE Muskegon was the first of the
Goodrich feet to 20 out this spring. She
left on Sunday last.
The schooner James Hall has been ~
| ing here for almost two weeks waiting TO
begin the seasons work.
The James Hall left Tuesday morning
for Manistee, the first sail vessel of the
| Manltowoc feet TO set out this spring.
The schooner Carrier of Chicago was
the first arrival at this port. She went
up to the dry dock to receive some re-
pairs.
The steamer City of Marquette reach
ed here on Tuesday and went up to the
| shipyard. She will receive new boiler,
new ceiling floor and general over
| hauling.
The schooner Naiad is being fitted out
in good shape. She has had more promi-
nent lake captains at work on her this
spring than has any other boat on the
Great Lakes.
Captain Moran of Escanaba arrived IN
the city on Monday. He is having new
engine put in the steamer Lotus. He
says prospects are not favorable for a
heavy lake trade from his section this
season.
A party of four men went fishing in
two small boats from Fl olland, Mich, on
Sunday last during the fierce storm
which prevailed. On Monday the boats
were found on the beach, capsized. As
none of the men have since been heard
from it is quite certain they all were
drowned.
The Toledo and Ann Arbor road has
passed from the control of the Ashleys
INTO the hands of the bond holders.
This is the road which runs the ferry
boats to kewaunee. The change will not
effect the plans which the company had
formed for enlarging its business by run
ming ferry boats to Menominee.
The Weather Bureau requests that
persons who frequent the lake shore keep
a lookout for bottles which contain in
closures. These bottles have been drop
ped into the lake with view of ascer-
tanning the direction of currents. Per-
sons finding them are requested TO COM
plete the paper IN the bottle and forward
IL to Washington.
The F. & P. NJ. will have competition
this summer on its route between Chi
cago, Ludington and Manlstee. The
Northern Michigan Transportation Cos.
boats will run to Ludington and MANS
tee. 1t was thought they might be in
duced to take in Manitowoc on their run;
but the general manager says they have
no such intention. The boats of tits
company will begin to run April 4th.
The chief officers of the Goodrich
transportation Co. tor the season are as
follows: Virginia Capt, II. E. Shines,
engineer, &. p. Roth; Indiana, Capt, A.
Gallagher, engineer r. Flint; City of
Racine, Capt, J. NJ. McGee, engineer,
William Parker; Atlanta, Capt, William
Nicholson, engineer, 3. Beerman; City of
Ludlngton, Capt John Raleigh, engineer
John Bushman; Chicago, Capt, George
Wlttey, engineer, g. N1eder; Muskegon,
Capt, Edward Carus, Engineer t. Dorey
The withdrawal of the T. & 2. M. boats
from the Manitowoc line, which is to take
place next week, should satisfy every one
that nothing permanent can be expected
from any traffic arrangements made be-
tween that company and the Chicago and
Northwestern. Manitowoc must look to
other transportation companies for what
1t had every good reason to expect from
the companies for which it has made SO
many sacrifices. There is no mutuallty
in the relations and the railroad evident
ly wants everything while giving nothing.
The city, so far as local business is con.
cerned, is not wholly at the mercy of the
Z. x p. NJ or of the Chicago and North
western. The steamer City of Marquette
can easily be induced to do business at
ills port, and thus We can have line
across the lake to Frankfort and be en-
tirely divorced from the I. K F. NJ. and
partially so from the Chicago and North
western. The City of Marquette could
easily make this place and kewaunee
twice week. While The Pilot has not
assurances which would justify it in
stating authoritatively that such an ar
rangement can be made, it Is not speak
wholly without assurance. The factories,
wholesale dealers and merchants can Sc
cnre this connection without much diff
Guilty. 1t is to their interests to bestlr
themselves in the matter.
A petition quite numerously signed,
asking for the pardon of Emil Hopf, who
was sentenced to Waupun for clipping
with Mrs Dallman. has been forwarded
to Gov Peck. This is case in which
executive clemency would be by no
means misplaced.
