The Big Steamers Breaking Through
the Ice.
NAVIGATION OPENED SUNDAY.
The First Boats for Chequamegoh Bay
Made Their Trip by Here Last Sun-
day Morning-No Ferry Boats
Have Started as Yet.

Two big whaleback steamers
passed by here about ten o'clock Sun
day morning, enroute for Ashland.
The ice was very thick at the time,
and the boats cut their way through
with the greatest difficulty. Since
Sunday there have been num-
Der OF large steamers seen passing
here, while numerous tugs have fol-
lowed in the wake of the boats, TAX
ing advantag of the openings that
the larger steamers have made.
Up to the present time there have
been no boats in Washburn. but
Chequamegon bay opened to naviga-
ton on the morning Of the sixth.
The ice still hangs on, and the small
err boats are unable to battle success
fully with it. The ice went out oil
the bay on April 10Th last year, and
on the same day the first ferry boat
crossed from Ashland. There was a
lumber boat in the harbor on May
Bird, and the first grain boat tied ur
at the elevator on the 18th. The
first boat into Ashland was on the
9th and the first coal boat here was
on the twenty-sixth day of May A
boat is expected at the elevator to-
day, and the season of navigation is
open, being perhaps three weeks
earlier than last year. The ice is
still too much for the ferry boats,
but it is going to pieces somewhat
and good stiff wind will clear the
bay. Bayfield, is entirely free from
ice in It's harhor.
