The Lumberman's Gazette.
--------

The first number of the Lumberman’s Gazette, published by H. S. Dow, Esq., of this city, has made its appearance and is in every respect par excellence. It is a quarto magazine of thirty pages, three columns on a page, and is replete with valuable and interesting reading matter pertaining to the two great interests of the Saginaw Valley. It fills a want among us that has long been felt by every business man in Northern Michigan. The publisher states in his prospectus that it is his object to make the Gazette a periodical devoted especially to the interests of the lumbermen, and if the first number is any criterion for the future issues of the Gazette, the people of the Valley may well be proud of the enterprise, and should do all in their power to push it along. The mechanical work on the Gazette is a mode of neatness in the “Art preservative of art.”

Among the large amount of reading matter contained in the first number of this excellent periodical we find “The Pine Forest of Michigan” graphically pictured by C. B. Beadley, Esa. Of the Courier. A very excellent letter on the Muskegon Lumber Region; The Political Interests of Lumbermen, by Hon. W. R. Bates; “The new problem in salt making,” savorily dished up by R. I. Kimberly, Esq., of the Enterprise; an excellent article entitled “Work and its Earnings,” by Rev. I. A. Wight, of this city, and a great deal of other interesting matter.

The Gazette is published monthly at $1.00 a year.
