· ESCANABA.
An incorporated village of 3,000 popula- tion, is the county seat of Delta county. It is beautifully situated ou a point of land that divides the waters of Green bay from those of Little Bay de "Noquet, the latter forming one of the best, harbors on the whole chain of lakes. It is very easy of approach, having an entrance three miles in width, and a depth sufficient to float the largest vessels. It has communication with Milwaukee and Chicago via the C. & N. W. Ry, and with Marquette via the MI .. H. & O. R. R. Distance from Chicago 355 miles, Milwaukee 211 miles, and Mar- quette 76 miles. It is one of the three shipping points for the upper peninsula iron ore, and rivals Marquette in the extent of these shipments. It has two extensive iron docks, erected at a cost of $100,000. with facilities for receiving and shipping 700 loaded cars of ore per day. There are 1,950 of these cars employed between the iron mines and Escanaba, and each carries 73 tous to a load. Twenty-five vessels can be loaded every 12 hours. An iron furnace that cost $250,000 to build, and the finest on the upper peninsula, is located here. Among the other interests are a touring mill, planing mill, brewery and 3 hotels. The Tilden House, the best, is beautifully situ- ated on the shore of Green bay, with ex- tensive lawns, bathing houses, etc., and is the finest summer resort in the upper pen- insula. There are 3 churches, 2 neat school buildings, a young men's reading room. a weekly newspaper. the Iron Port, a bank, etc. Good farming and hard wood timber land lies within a few miles of the village, and the Escanaba river, which rises in the iron region and here flows into the lake, furnishes water power. The vil- lage was first settled in 1863. Express, American. Telegraph, Northwestern. E. P. Royce, postmaster.

EVART.
Except Midland, is the most important station on the F. & P. M. Ry, between Sag- inaw and Ludington. It is 76 miles north- west of the former, 62 east of the latter, and 174 from Detroit. The village, which was settled in 1831, lies on the line between Osceola and Evart townships, in the south- ern part of Osceola, county, 10 miles east of Hersey, the county scat. It received its present charter in 1875, and now has a population of 1,400. Lumbering is the chief interest, nearly everybody being en- gaged in, or to some extent dependent upon. this industry. The country surrounding is well adapted to agricultural purposes, and is being settled as rapidly as timber is cleared away. Evart has some fine hotels, the Evart being one of the best in north- ern Michigan. It has good school ad- vantages, four religious organizations, Catholic, Methodist, Congregational and Episcopalian, a good weekly newspaper. the Review (Rep.), and, including the im- mediate vicinity, seven saw and shingle mills, two flour mills, a foundry and ma- chine shop. Shipments are pine clap- boards, lumber, shingles and grain. The Osceola County Agricultural Society, one ot the prominent institutions of the county, has its grounds here. It is at Evart that the F. & P. M. Ry first strikes the Mus-
kegon river. North and northeast of the village is a body of pine estimated to cou- tain 500,000.000 feet, which is not reached by any of the logging streams, and during 1878 railroads for logging purposes were built from the river here, and will be ex- tended until this timber is all put in the stream.
