MICHIGAN CITY. This flour- ishing city of 8,000 inhabitants is pleas- antly located on Lake Michigan, in La-
porte county, 12 miles northwest of Laporte court house, 161 northwest of Indianapolis and 56 southeast of Chicago. It is tra- versed by the M. C., I., P. & C. Div. W., St. L. & P. and L., N. A. & C. R'ys, and has one of the finest harbors on the lake. The most important industry here is the lumber trade.

It has a bonded debt of $40,000, is lighted by gas, has good water works, a well equip- ped and efficient fire department, telephone exchange,several substantial business blocks and handsome residences. Its general ap- pearance denotes thrift and enterprise and it is undoubtedly one of the most import- ant towns of itz size in the State. The press is represented by the Dispatch (daily and weekly), and the Enterprise (weekly). Lum- ber is the principal article of export. It has Am., U. S. and L., N. A. & C. Ex. and W. U. and M.
