While the city government clears up andimproves the highways through town, their single, narrow highway ofwater is neglected, and the steam craft who serve them, unjustly suffera heavy expense for tugs, broken wheels and loss of time. There is a steamer close by us, she is lying still as though waitingfor something. What does it mean ?

Fourofficers are constantly watching the course of our steamer, and anyvariation would receive their prompt attention. ?0. A Lake Tour to Picturesque Mackinac PW^
