Conger, inspector and marine agent of the Weather bureau at Detroit, passed through Manitowoc this week. Speaking of the condition of ice throughout the lake region. “Reports from the several regular and display stations of the Weather bureau on the lakes indicate tnat the ice has been broken up to a considerable extent by high winds of the past week, on all the lakes. On Lake Superior, there appears but little ice over the western end, and it is breaking up about the islands. Cousideral.de ice is reported off Keweenaw point and from White fish point, westward as far as can be seen from that pant. There in. been no material change in the St. Mary s river. The ice remains solid in Green Bay, and but little ice is reported along the west shore of Lake Michigan, while on the emst shore the high easterly winds of the past w> ek have moved the large field out into the lake. The ice remains firm at the Straits of Mackinaw There is nut as much ice reported in Lake Huron: the ice-bridge is formed at the foot of the lake and extends north - j ward about six miles. The ice is be j ginning to run out of the extreme lower (end of Labe St. Clair, and the Detroit I river is ipen as far down as Sandwich I point. The ice in Lake Erie appears to ; have been broken up by the high wind and there is not as much reported along I the shore as was the ease last week. The Held has probably moved over to the Canadian shore. There has been no material change in the conditions on j Lake (tutario, GOVERNMENT TO MAIN TAIN LIGHTS CN CHAN NELS OF GREAT LAKES. A lake captain said a day or two ago “On# item in the Sundry Civil Appropi iition bill, passed in the closing days of the last congress, i* of special interest to members of the Lake Carriers' association, as it will relieve them in part of the cost of maintaining private lights. The bill gives the United S'ates Light-House hoard s4.unit to be applied to this purpose, but as all ap pro] nation *. in the bill are for the year beginning with July 1 next, the lake vessel owners will be called upon to pay tor the light* until that time. The paragraph carrying thes4.nooapprupria ] tion is as follows: 'Maintenance of Lights on Channels of (-rreat Lakes. To enable tl secre tary of the treasury, under the supervi sion of the Light-House board, by con tract or otherwise, to maintain lights necessary for the safe navigation of those channels in the connecting waterways I of the great lakes which have been con structed or artificially improved by the | government of the United States, where ! the same cannot properly be lighted from the American side.

WOULD LIKE BRIDGES WIDENED. Agitation is on Foot Among the Vessel Men. to MAKE TliiS A GREAT HARBOR. 1 Both Eighth and Tenth Street Bridges] Considered. I THE WORK WOULD NOT BE COSTLY Could be Done b> the Outlay of 820,000. or Possibly a Little Less. Would Increase Shipping. Some of the vessel men, particularly captains of the large lake steamers are earnestly advocating the widening of the Eighth street bridge -o that the larg er steamers can pass through the slip without any possible danger. They al so suggest the same improvement for tiie Tenth stree t bridge, and they say that if Manitowoc sees fit to make these improvements to the harbor, it will have a tendency to bring the larger grain carrying ship* into port. “It would iie a good move," said a lake captain, “if both bridges were wid ened r.nywh re from twelve to eighteen feet. While the Work may be expens ive, entailing a possible cost of from 815,080 to $25,0011 yet the benefits ;ic cruing to tire city through increased shipping would more than recompense for tiie outlay. It is the judgment of all the sailing masters that these bridges should lie widened, and with several other improvements the harbor of Man itowoc could not be rivaled anywhere.” It was understood from the same source that a petition would be circulat ed among vessel men to be signed and then presented to the city council ask ing for the improvements herein sug gested. The subject, however, has al ready been called to the attention of those administering city affairs. PERSONS FROM THE COUNT* M HO CAME ON BUSINESS TO THE CITY. John Miller. John F.
