The track of the road is remarkably smooth throughout, considering the newness of the road bed, and trains run as smoothly as on most of the older standard gango roads. Between Port Huron and East Saginaw. the road bed, bridges and culverts are of standard gauge size and strength. The bridge over Black River. thirteen miles from Port Huron, is the most ex- tensive railroad bridge in Michigan, being seventy feet high above the water, and 800 feet long. The iron swing bridge across Black River in this city is also one of the best in the State.

The opening of the new depot in this city, and of the East Saginaw Division to Vassar. are events of much importance in the history of this road. Four months ago, the " flats." where the new depot is located, were largely covered with water. Now a large portion of the grounds of the company have been filled in to a height of several feet above the water level. four handsome buildings have been nearly completed. a large number of tracks have been laid. and a complete transformation in the appearance of the locality has been made. The main building, to be used as a general passenger depot and offices for the company, is 32 feet wide, 150 feet long, and two stories high, with an attic, and is surmounted by a handsome cupola and flag staff, on which the stars and stripes were raised for the first time December 1. when the first passenger train left the new depot. This building is of handsome architectural design and proportions, and when finished throughout will be one of the most elegant and

convenient railroad buildings in the State. On the west side, the company have opened a street extending to the freight depot, which is located forty feet south of the south end of the pas- senger depot. Broad platforms extend the whole length of both buildings on this side. for the convenience of passengers coming and going, and for the receipt and delivery of freight. The north end of the passenger building fronts on Court street: and on the east side there is a broad platform the entire length, beside which the main track for passenger trains is laid. Inside, the building is elegantly finished in cherry and ash woods, with ash floors. The general waiting room occupies the whole width of the north end, and has doors opening from both sides and from the front on Court street. The ticket office, which is provided with a fire proof vault, is located between this room and the ladies' waiting room, on the east side of the build- ing. Closets for the convenience of passengers are located on the west side of the building. The ladies' waiting room occupies the entire width of the building next south of the tieket office. Opening from this room on the south, and, having outside doors on the east and west. is a large room to be used as a dining and lunch room. Next comes a stairway opening from the east side of the building and leading to the second story, which is to be very handsomely and conveniently fitted up for the general offices of the company. The train dispatcher's office, baggage room, boiler room, and some other departments, are on the first floor, south of the stairway. The building is to be heated with steam throughout, and will be lighted by gas made on the premises.

The freight depot is twenty-four feet wide and 150 feet long, substantially built and convenient in every respect. The repair shop building is located north of the passenger depot, on the same line. Its size is 40x112 feet. The round-house, with accommodations for eleven locomotives, the stalls being forty-five feet deep, is located a short distance north of the repair shops. All the buildings are of wood, and all are very neat in style and finish.

The cost of the passenger building will reach $15,000 when fully completed, and the com- pany expect to expend as much as $150,000 on the grounds and buildings in this city within the next year or two.

The laying of iron from Vassar to East Saginaw is progressing at the rate of a mile a day, and nuless the weather should be very unfavorable, trains will run to that city by Christmas. At East Saginaw, the company's trains will run into the elegant new depot of the Flint and Pere Marquette Railway, connecting also with the new Saginaw, Tuscola & Huron Narrow Gauge Railway. The terminal facilities of the road at Port Huron, East Saginaw and Sand Beach are therefore first-class in every respect. the company having several hundred feet of dockage on St. Clair River in this city, and dockage facilities at Sand Beach.

Port Huron has every reason to be proud of the Port Huron & Northwestern Railway. It has been built entirely without outside aid, by citizens of Port Huron, and is an acknowl- edged success. No other city in Michigan, we believe, has done as much-not even the " metropolis." The road has already added much to the business and prosperity of Port Huron, as it has to the entire section of country through which it runs. Seventy box cars have been built here, and it is probable that the establishment of extensive car works will be one of the results of the building of the road.

The officers of the company for 1881-82 are as follows: President, Henry Howard; First Vice President, John P. Sanborn; Second Vice President, Charles A. Ward; Secretary and Treasurer. Frederick L. Wells: General Manager, Henry McMorran; Superintendent, 1. R. Wadsworth: General Passenger Agent, C. C. Jenkins; Cashier. E. C. Chamberlin: Chief Engineer, 1. 1. Reed; Paymaster, J. B Hull: Freight Auditor. Harry E. Hyde; Train Dis- patcher, F. E. Wellington. Mr. Wellington is also ticket agent in Port Huron, and S. P. Mann is freight agent.

The Port Huron & Northwestern is one of the few roads which escaped the tongues of the envious and suspicious -- it proved entirely satisfactory. Not so with other roads mentioned in this work. Among all the great leading interests of the country. none has suffered more seriously, and we might add unjustly, than railway property Indeed for years it was the special object of bitter attack and unrelenting hostility. If certain ruin-driving journals were to be believed -and in the fury of the years of panic their efforts were but too successful -- the

Glaring in stances of stupendous frand. it is but too true, have been developed in railway management, but if the vast number of mon who control other railways be considered, and this interest be compared with others, we doubt not that in banking, mercantile and other pursuits, a propor- tionate number of frauds would be found to exist.

HISTORY OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY.

PORT HURON TOWNSHIP AND CITY.

GEOLOGY.

The lake and river shore in the vicinity of Fort Gratiot, is a low, gravelly ridge extend- ing nearly a quarter of a mile from the water front. where the ground rises suddenly to an altitude of twenty-five feet above the lake level, and retains this elevation with little variation to the banks of Black River. This elevated ground gradually approximates the St. Clair toward the fort, and, a few rods below, it becomes a perpendicular bluff in immediate contact with the water.

All the wells sunk in the county pass through the following formations:

Soil and yellow sand, 8 to 12 feet.

Compact blue clay, 85 to 100 feet.

Coarse sand and gravel, 1 to 10 feet.

Limestone shale intercalated with thin veins of sand and gravel, 875 feet.

Immediately beneath the strata of blue clay, immense quantities of gas have escaped in many places, and continue to escape, even after the lapse of a quarter of a century. At a depth of two or three feet in the limestone shales, pure water has always been obtained, which has risen in the wells about to the level of Lake Huron, or within ten to twenty feet of the earth's surface in this county. At the depth of 500 feet, salt water veins were struck, with a supply and strength to warrant investment in the manufacture of salt.

The soil is mostly a sandy loam, with a small proportion of marsh.

The physical peculiarities of the St. Clair and Black Rivers are noteworthy in many re- spects. Black River is formed chiefly by the superficial drainage of the bottom lands, the smaller tributaries constituting its origin, rising in the upland districts of the interior of the State. Its course through the low districts is tortuous, the current sluggish, the water highly colored with decomposing vegetable matter, to the extent of winning for it its name. In the early settlement of the country, it was navigated by small sailing craft, and later, for many years, a little steamboat traversed its turbid waters for several miles into the interior. Later again, its surface was covered with the products of the great pine forests floating to the mills at Desmond or Port Huron, and now, while the same commerce comes up, rather than down that river, it holds the same color still, inclining to be so conservative as to grow blacker as it grows older.

The St. Clair River presents many interesting features, alike as regards its physical relations and its connection with the early settlement and military occupation of the country. That the stream has undergone some very important changes since the historic period, scarcely admits of doubt. Tradition and the conformation of the adjacent country both indicate it. According to the Indian tradition, the ancient river channel was fully a half mile east of the present channel, and the Indian canoes passed directly from the lake into the head of Sarnia Bay. The river was then a broad shallow stream, fully four or five times its present width, and scarcely twenty feet in depth. The changes are the result of lake currents, carrying down the sands along the eastern shore, until near the outlet they gradually accumulated, forced the stream into a narrower channel, increased the rapidity and depth of the waters, and finally carved ont a deep channel, where in olden times was a shallow stream. Within the decade ending in 1870, the American bank from Ft. Gratiot southward receded fully 100 feet, while a corresponding accretion took place on the Canadian side. In 1760, according to Maj. Rogers, of the British Army, the river, where it leaves Lake Huron, was about 500 yards wide, a distance more than twice its present width.

The climate is much healthier and pleasanter than in the interior of the State. Lying as it does on the St. Clair River, at the foot of Lako Huron, a large body of pure water rapidly

flowing past makes the atmosphere decidedly invigorating and bracing. A breeze from the fake or river is delightfully pleasant, and a sail upon the waters in a sailboat, vacht. or row- boat, gives one a new lease of life. The rate of mortality is less than in any other city of the same population in the country.

in such a country, at once lovely and romantic, stood the quiet, unpretentious, Franco- Indian village of Delnde, and as the visitor walked lazily over its limits, listening to the mur- murs of the rippling waters of Indian Creek or Black River, and the rush and sometimes roar of the river, or watched the mist as it hung in twilight curtains about the groves, it requires no poetic imagination to trace in his mind's ove a long cavalcade of romance, chivalry and heroism proceeding from this spot in the days of barbarie domination, in its march over the workl. And he, too, will muse upon the genius that once haunted the forests of the past, may be which had departed forever, and a gloom, not unlike superstitious dread, will only be dissipated when the past vanishes and the present rises before him in all its beauty and magnificence. Wo ean envy the pioneers of the district and those primitive times, Then a single piece of calico wonkl make the best dress for every woman in the place; the mournful tale of " nothing to wear" was never heard by the husbands or fathers of that period. The dry goods side of the store could be carried off in a wheel barrow, and the grocery department was exceedingly limited in variety. The staple articles were whisky, pork. Honr and beans. If with a dozen barrels of whisky came two or three barrels of flour. the question was. " What in the dickens is to be done with so much flour ?" There was at that time usually plenty of game and fish. and, in their season, wild fruits: but the hardships of pioneer life. while not perhaps involving actual suffering for food, and the accustomed comforts of life, were never- theless serious, and the monotony of existence sent many carly adventurers back to the purliens of civilization undor more favorable surroundings. It was not until the land was opened up for homestead entry or purchase that immigration became active, the country began to fill up, and the necessity of an organized village became obvious. it will be thus seen that, not withstanding the advantages of locality and its accessibility. it was not thought of as a site for a city for a period between the time Hennepin first ascended to the Epper Lake country and the year when the first settlers visited the scene, and decided to establish themselves here, ont of the wilderness, to fashion a city which should some day be regarded as a city altogether lovely, altogether promising, the one among ten thousand to which the footsteps of active enterprise should be directed, and where the virtues of this life would be treasured and pro- moted through the instrumentality of agencies, by which alone the maintenance of order and the perpetuity of nations are firmly secured.

Among the American pioneers of tho township, the first and most favorably known is Judge Zephaniah W. Bunce. James M. Gill. B. Sturges, S. Huling. James Young and A. F. Ashley, together with others mentioned in the assessment roll of 1521. were all pioneers of the township. When they arrived here. it was a country of Indians, pine, black ash. hem- lock and kindred woods. Notwithstanding the fact that a few French Canadians and their children were located on Black River, the township must be considered to be in its wilder- ness state, with savage men just cahning down from the war heat of a few years before, Since their coming, the pine forests have disappeared, and everywhere throughout the township the works of the civilizers aro evident.

Originally the name Desmond was bestowed upon the district, under which title it was organized in 1525, with Jeremiah Harrington, Supervisor. Susequently, the name was changed to Port Huron. The only post office outside Port Huron City was that of Marysville, formerly Vicksburg Village.

The value of real and personal property in the township is estimated at 8255.375. The population in IS15 was 1, 195, including the village; in 1850, 2,301: in 1854. 3.0SS; in 1961. . AS5, and in ISSO, 9.593 (city, 8,993). The area of the township without the city. is 10,128 acres: the number of children of school age in the township, 135, and in the city, 3.003.

Throughout this State there cannot be found a more beautifully located township than Port Huron. Within its limits many of the early French settlers made their homes. there also that natural locator -the indian built his wigwam, and squatted. so to speak, in the

midst of plenty. The lake and streams of the township offered the lazy red men their wealth of fish, the forest its game, and the soil its wild fruits, herbs and, in some cases, corn.

So many references have been made to the town of Port Huron in the general history of the county, and so complete are the biographical sketches of its citizens, little remains to be written here, beyond the special items pertaining directly to the township.
