TWIN CITY BAND.
The Organization is a Credit to our
Cities.

The free concert given by the Twin
City Band from the pier in the center
of the river Thursday evening last was
enjoyed by a very large number of at
tentive listeners. The boys most clever
ly rendered numerous difficult
selections to the delight of lines of
people crowding the bridge, along the
river banks, and in boats dotting the
stream. They were heartily enforced
by the crowds and responded cheer
fully. This organization is now one of
the best of its kind we ever had and it
should be literally encouraged by our
people. It has at its head the hustling
manager Geo. W. Davis, and as director
an acc omplished cornetist, Mr.. Wal
lace Demeroe. The members take
pride in their band and have been
doing constant and effective practice
work. They haye accepted few jobs
at coming County Fairs and several
more chances under consideration all of
which will act as splended ADVERTISE
ment Tor the twin cities, because the
boys leave most favorable impressions
wherever they 60 on their travelling
jaunts. The best and latest music is
what they aim to give and they don't
fall short of their intentions. Owing
to the absence of the baritone player
the next free concert will be given
Friday or Saturday evening instead of
Thursday this week.
One fact was noticeable at the last
concert and that is that the band stand
should be below the bridge instead of
above it. The sweet tones could
scarcely be heard block down river,
while they were carried long distance
up stream. Some of the business men
have taken an interest in this matter
and will probably erect stand farther
down next season. Now all are waiting
for the band to "do it again."

Last week, the kind readers who fol-

entertaining hands, indeed, were those.

the country. The buildings are of red

regulars are stationed here. The SOL

nearly everyone appeared again serene
ly little whittier from their siege, but
still on the boat. A short run of Is
miles brought us again in sight of his
toric Mackinac Island, far famed as one
of the earliest stations of the Jesuit
Missionaries, the center of the fur trade
in the days of John Jacob Astor-now
properly termed the Saratoga of the
West. Only a half hour was spent in
the quaint little town, already visited
on our way up, whtn away we sped
back through the Straits of Mackinac,
traversing the waters Of Lake Michi-
gan to Escanaba $50 miles distant. A
concert in the cabin that evening kept
US jolly while we waited, and at 7:3O
Wednesday morning the boat swung
into the docks at Escanaba.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-09-03

From Escanaba to Washington Island
was short voyage, thence on down the
west coast of Door peninsula we passed
what we believe to be the finest scenery
of the cruise and the most thoroughly
enjoyed day Of any. With a clear sky,
delightful weather, and classy smooth
water we beheld aiong this snore the
spots for the artists brush and the
poets dream, a rugged limestone shore
unsurpassed, an area of sunlight and
enraptured beauty. Hills rising above
the rolling openings afforded glimpses
of natures delights i'll pleasing degree;
here and there green meadows peeped
out and neat farm homes nestled on
their edges bespeaking prosperity and
thrift. Large and fertile fields waved
to us with their golden, noddlng grains.
Up loomed little islands round about
sitting like emerald gems on the pei

A stop was made at Sturgeon Bay and

the Hart dock, Green Bay. The "fve

Taken back to the docks the visitors
were given opportunity to 60 as-you-
please for few hours. Those who de-
sired, had a chance to follow the Indian
guides to a little landing above the
American Lock, and seating themselves
IN bark canoes take "shoot" over his
torlc st. Mary's rapids. Only eight of
the party attempted this, the writer be-
Ing one of that number. The expert
ence was exciting and delightful. The
fall in three-quarters of mile is forty
five feet, the channel almost a mile
wide and very rocky; current runs
from twenty to thirty knots, and in
different places are perpendicular leaps
of from s to 10 feet between rocks
which, to use homely expression, will
make the hair of any old riverman
stand on end. 1t is useless to attempt
a description of the sensation felt while
flying through a mile of seething, foam
ing, dizzy water, the angry waves dash
ing high above you on every side,
thing but your protruding head from a
ducking. Indians have "shot" these
rapids with pleasure seekers for thirty
years and not life has been lost in the
awful deep. They are masters of their
trail craft and the deftness with which
they handle pole and paddle demands
your confidence at once Should you
ever visit the Sault do not fail to leave
fifty cent piece with the Indian guides
and take a never-forgotten ride with
them over st. Mary's rapids.
Sault Ste. Marie is practically a gov
ernment town. 1t has few manufacture
ing plants and depends almost entirely
for business on its lake traffic. Of this
there is much. More vessels of every
class, with a greater tonnage and larger
value, annually pass through the 800"
locks than in any channel in the known
world, the Suez Canal not excepted.
