WORK on the slip on the lake front
is progressing finely. McDougall x
Duffy have the work pretty close to
the lake level already. The piles for
the south pier have come to sight and
right near is the framework of a
schooner which has been Embedded
there for years. The removal of the
lake deposits bring many old relics tc
light.
The piling for the breakwater is al
ready quite ways beyond Rahr'

The financial question is having quite
an effect upon Mexican coinage these
days. Mexican dollars, which contain
six more grains of pure silver than ours,
are being bought in large numbers at
81 cents. The coinage of silver is frse in
Mexico and people are anxious to have a
free coinage dollar as a curiosity. The
banks IN this city are selling quite a

THERE is not much probability that
there will be a daily line Ct boats
across the lake before fall shipments
begin. The fruit raisers of Michigan
are anxious for a daily boat, but at
present the freight business does not

idle What freight there is goes by

tracts large share of this will 60 by

The fat on which is located the termi-

there will be no settling. The docks are
well under way. They are TO be of
modern construction and will have a
circular track. They will be extended
considerably next year.
Matthews & Keith resumed the work
OF docking on Tuesday, They were de
layed somewhat by the dredging, but
now will be able to work without break.
A channel has been dredged for the dock
line around the bend where the $50 foot
basin is to be- The dredge is now at
work removing the point.
The Central is receiving considerable
local freight and quite number of pas
sengere. Not much through freight is
coming as yet. There would be con
siderable travel If the boats would run
regularly, something they cannot yet do
because the freight received does not
warrant 1t. The Ann Arbor No. 2, took

A singular circumstance taken IN con-
nectiOn with the purchases of land made
on the lake front north of the harbor
piers, Is the fact that engineers are said
to be surveying a line through Coopers-
town. The Pilot does not vouch for the
truth Gf this statement but the informa-
ton comes from quite a reliable source.
Does it mean that the st. Paul wants an
outlet at ManitOwoc? 1t would seem if
such were the fact the Wisconsin Central
line from Hilbert would be used, or that
an Independent line from Hilbert would
be bnilt. But il it be true that prelimin-
airy surveys are beng made IN the dlrec-
ton of Green Bay, and lands are being
purchased here for terminals, then some
thing is afoo ton which the general public
is not informed. Everything Is conjec-
ture at present and that being the case
conclusions are very apt to be faulty.
Mrs. ROSE of this city was burned to
death on Sunday afternoon. She was
using little kerosene oil stove which
caught fire, and the poor woman to save
the building attempted to carry the oil
stove down stairs. Her clothing caught
fire and every stitch of cloths was burned
off. Even her stockings were burned.
DR.. Prilchard says 1t was one of the worst
cases Of the burning of human body
he ever saw She did rot suffer as much
as the serious nature of her injuries
might lead one to believe. She died
seven hours after the occurrence of the
accident.
She was an old lady whom every one
respected. The poor woman had great
deal of trouble during her life from vlo-
lent deaths of members of her family.
She was very kindhearted woman and
her unassuming honesty and good life
made her hosts of friends.

Reclamation OF Arid Lands.

Secretary Francis calls the attention of
congress to the necessity of legislation look
ing to the retaining OF arid lands, and says
that of the oVv,UOU,U0U acres OF arid lands
100. 00O. 900 acres might be reclaimed by the
conservative use of water, but IL Is impos-
sible under the laws in operation to control
the reclamation of the arid regions so as to
prevent the improvident use of water, over
which the general government has no con-
troll This should be done by a system
which constitutes the reclamation of the
entire territories from a common source of
supply and the utilization of that supply
OK the adoption of the suggestion of the
commissioner of the general land office
would be a good one That is, place the
lands in the direct control OF the states for
reclamation.
