The turnip, OF perhaps all roots, is the
most impatient OF heat. 1t starts to grow
on the slightest proyocation. In a cellar of
not over forty degrees, one may find it grow
ing freely, after an incarceration OF but Il few
weeks. 1t is growth which is the great enc

cites growth. There is a natural heat in the
roots when put in a heap-;l little heat from
one root and little more from another soon

field this is carried Off by tile open air about
the pile. Hence, under cover of near pro-

give OFT more heat, and it all soon becomes
a regular turnip stew. The turnip, indeed,
does not mind a little frost. If they were

fact that heat is more likely to injure them
than cold-and very low degree of heat at

The discrepancy Mr.. Cavanac ascribes to
the influence Of the word Injunction" which
had been mentioned for several days prior to
the sale.


During or previous to the sale Mr.. Cavanac
received a document purporting to be All in
junction from the Sixth District Court, but
which was dated January II, 1878, and was
devoid of the signature OF the clerk of the
court.


Subsequently the Mayor received an injunc-
tion in due form, which prohibits him from
entering into any contract concerning the
sale OF the market revenues.


In conversation with Administrator Cavanac
that gentleman said that he regretted sincere
ly that the injunction should have been re-
sorted to, for he was satisfied that with

the course of the Council In the matter, the
| innumerable preceuents on record, he thought,
would show that they were right; that
the eity was s forporaton s,dh and

The prevailing idea OF Cheboygan
winter in the minds of the ontside world
is that we are so near the north pole that
it is only with the greatest difficulty
the citizens keep from freezing, and is
fairly expressed in the language of a
gentleman who said ''the only objection
he had to Cheboygan was that during
July and August the slcighing was
poor" How erroneous this idea is, those
who have ever spent winter in Cheboy-
gan need not be told; but for the benefit
of those who haye never enjoyed the
pleasures of winter iii this region, we
would say that more fallacious idea
could not be entertained. During the
present winter there has been only two
mornings that the thermometer indicated
as low temperature as zero, and only
reached that point on these occasions.
We have made some inquiry among
those who have observed the thermom-
eter closely, and the opinion expressed is
that the average temperature for the en-
tire winter, so far, has been about %
degrees above zero. 1t is true that this
has been an exceptional winter, but it is
also true that tor six winters past, which
the writer h is spent in ChebOygan, they
have had just as cold weather as far south
as central Ohio, every winter, as we have
had in Cheboygan, and during this win
ter, as tar south as Cincinnati, they had
much colder weather, and the condition
of the atmosphere i'm more southern To-
calities is such that the same degree of
cold is felt much more severely than is
experienced i'm this region.

of weeks since, has had the desired eff
feet. So much had been said and limited
about the probable failure of the con-
tracting parties in fulfilling their contract
that We were anxious to arrive at some
definite conclusion. With this in view
we took the trouble to make considera-
BILE enquiry. and the result OF the inves-
tigatiOn was given i'm our editorial.
We stated that the redeeming feature
was the fact that James F. Joy was in
teresting himself in the matter and lend
ing his influence to the contractors. We
cid not believe, from his well known
reputation. that Mr.. Joy would counte-
nance or aid parties who were irresponsi-
BILE.


The Detroit Post and Tribune is re-
sponsible for the statement that James
F. Joy pronounces our conclusions false
1t says:


1.-The story which came all the way
from ChebOygan to the effect that the





not be built, and that the gentleman to
whom the contract was awarded got it
for merely speculative purposes, is pro-
nOunced by james +. Joy to be sensa-
tiOnal. In his opinion Mr.. Laman, the
contractor is an experienced and re-
spOnsible gentleman, who is backed by
plenty of capital, and who will put the
road through without delay. Glad to
hear it,"


This is good news for Cheboygan and
Northern Michigan, and none rejoice
more over the prospect of the building
of the Marquette & Mackinaw railroad
than does the TRIBUNE, 1t has always
been our aim to make the TRIBUNE a
power in the development of this section.
and have always taken the opportunity
to advocate any project that looked to
the improvement and advancement of
this portion of our state, and the editorial
referred to was written with the desire
to give the parties interested
an understanding of the situation, in
hopes to secure from them something
reliable in regard to their intentions.
Doubtless Mr.. Joy is fully informed OF all
the particulars in relation to the inten-
tiOns and responsibility of the cOntrac-
tors. and therefore his statement NAV be
taken as perfectly reliable. This would
give us to understand that, nOtwithstand-
ing the many suspicious head shakes
and insinuatiOns throwing doubt upon
the project, that the building OF the
road was an assured fact, and that the
work would be commenced at an early
day and pushed rapidly to completion.
The building of the Marquette & Macki-
nav road means also the extending of
the roads in the southern peninsula,
which are reaching towards Cheboygan,
| through to the straits, in order to
make connection with the road on
the Upper Peninsula. The compile
ton of these roads will let Cheboygan
out of the woods and insure for her a
prosperous future. We congratulate the
citizens OF this northern section that at
last something which looks reliable, up.
on the railroad question, has been OBJ
tanned, and that the fears expressed by
the TRIBUNE have been pronounced
groundless by such an authority as
James f. Joy. We have always had coli
fidence in Mr.. Joy, and believe if he
could have had bis way that the Jackson
Lansing & Saginaw railroad would have
long ere this have reached Cheboygan.
