proposed TO continue this branch to this
city, a distance of about so miles. The
proposed road would open as fine an ag-
ricultural region as there Is In Michigan,
and pass through immense tracts Of hard
wood. 1t would prove u good, paying
road, and be Of untold benefit TO the
country through which II is proposed to
extend II.
The second railway scheme is an old
acquaintance that has popped up before
the people as often as tho Alpena street
railway, but In our opinion Is more tangi-
bio. The following, from the Detroit
Evening News, gives the details of the
future through railway from Detroit to
Duluth. via Alpena:
at Is not generally known that the
Duluth, South Shore a Atlantic road run
ming from st. Ignace and the Sault TO
Duluth, was built by a syndicate OF De-
troiters. about tho same as those who
built tho D., b. G. Il A. road, and that
while 1t Is now operated by the Canadian
Pacific road under a lease, the lease will
expire next year, and II Is probable that
1t will not be renewed as the Canadian
Pacific owns line from the 500 to Min
neapolis and st. Paul, and has no use for
the shore line.
"This will enable the Brice syndicate to
get an opening at the straits, and with the
d., Is. G. d A. extended to the straits on
the north and TO Bay City on the south
tho project Is settled. The election OF
Brice and Thomas to the directory OF the
f. a p M road nuta than into condition
to connect with the d., B. @. & A. road
at Bay City, or they can connect there
with the c., j. Il M. road.
THE route of the D.. B. G. & A. road
from the straits to Bay City, while longer,
will have a grade along the shore line,
and thus avoid tho ascent and descent OF
600 or 700 feet between the two points, a
great consideration especially In line
destined prinoipally for freight traffic.

The Columbia Desk Calendar.

For ten years the desk calendar issued
by the Pope Manufacturing Company has
held unique place among business help
ers. Each daily leaf during that time has
taught its quiet lesson of the value of bet
ter roads and outdoor exercise, and es-
pecially the benefits Of bicycling. The
calendar for 1895, which is just Issued, Is
even better than Its predecessors in ap-
pearance, as clever artists have added
dainty silhouette and sketch to the usual
wise and witty contributors that have
heretofore given this popular calendar Its
charm. 1t can be had for five 2-cent
stamps from the Pope Manufacturing
Company, Hartford, Conn, or from any
Columbian bicycle agency.

Manufacture of Lumber in Alpena
During the Year 1894. -

The lumber manufacturing business has
not been as great as usual In Alpena dur
ing the present year, owing partly to the
depression In the lumber business and
partly to the small supply OF logs. With
the exception Of Albert Pack and +. w.

mills the full season. Packs mill run

The Leaders Of the IndustriaIs Now
Passing rou said to
Ne Receiving Pay From Of
Montana Silver Mines.

Bismarck, n. D., June 1S.-Sunday
was a quieter day in the city than
since the first beginning of the Coxey
disturbance. Both marshals and veal
ers seemed to be taking a rest prepara-
tory to the beginning of what appears
will be another week Of hard work.
This morning nine of the train thieves
weIe brought in from the East by Col.
+. :. Miller and turned over to the au-
thOrities. They will be examined TO an
swer to the charge tomorrow and will
probably be bound over 10 the United
States court. The first division of the
army having passed through, the second
is now beginning to arrive. All day a
row boat built by the COxeyites at Man
dan has been plying between the banks
of the Missouri river, bringing each trip
ten or a dozen of the industrials who
are on the west side waiting to get
across. From thirty tc fifty have al
ready arrived and more are waiting in
turn. On the Missouri division of the
road, west of here, this second division
of the army is numerous and marsbals
will begin to be Senr west tomorrow 10
protect trains there. The navy which is
floating down river is expected TO leave
tomorrow morning.
An interesting fact which has leaked
out concerning the body, and which is
given confederation by some of their
leaders, is that the leaders of the men
are in the employ of the silver mine
owners of Butte and other Montana
towns, and that the pilgrimage East is
nothing other han n crusade with a
view to aid the favorable consideration of
the question of free silver.
This report is corroborated also by the
fact that the leaders of the army being
unable to secure provisions here, wired
Butte parties, and last night 500 was
telegraphed them from Butte with which
to say necessary supplies and continue
on down the river. No more depredations
have been committed along the railroad
since the train thieves of Friday were
dispersed and their leaders arrested.

that some parties who hold individual

LONDON'S MODEL LODGING
HOUSE.
Perfect Sanitation and Many Com
forts Furnished for Twelve Cents
n day,

fOrts turn1sneu TOT I"eiSe Sehts
n day.
Great success Is reported Of the first
years experience of the ROwtOn model
lodging house in London, the opening Of
which fifteen months ago attracted a
great deal of attention among municipal
bodies and social reformerS both in En-
gland and this country, says the New
York Sun. The design Of the expert
ment was the improvement of the con-
dition of single men who have no GER
tain occupation and no settled home,
a class which constitutes a large body
Of London wage-earIlerS, and who have
been compelled TO live in cheap and
common lodging-hOuSaS. Lord Rowton
designed the experiment and furnished
the funds for its trial. The hou ac-
commodities 40 men and affords a
separate sleeping apartment for every
lodger and well warmed and lighted
dining, smoking and reading rooms,
toilet and bathrooms, with a con-
slant supply of hot and cold water,
Conveniences for washing and drying
clothes. and cooking stoves, with all
utensils and facilities for cooking food.
Lodgers can either cook heir W
food or buy their meals at cost price.
The charge for the full use of all the
COnvenienCes and comforts OF the u
for twenty-four hours is sixpe9ce, about
equal to II cents. In all arrangements
of sanitation and cleanliness the house
is perfect, and the degree of comfort
afforded is great. The house has been
continuously full since the opening day,
forty or fifty people being turned away
almost nightly, and commercially the
concern has proved a complete Sue
cess. 1t returned a profit of 5 per cent
for the first year, and is now paying
a net profit of 6 per cent. A company
has been formed to carry on the work,
with a capital Of f75,0OO, and other
lodging-houses or the same plan are
TO be built forthwith in various parts
Of London.
