THE LUDINGTON CHRONICLE, Ludington, Michigan
Wednesday, November 1, 1905
VOL. 5,  No. 15

 - KEEP HARBORS
      OPEN ALL WINTER
   Nessen Transportation Plan to Run the
     "MANISTEE" into Ludington and Manistee
           Harbors all Winter.
     The Nessen Transportation Co.
  now operating the steamer MANISTEE
  between Ludington, Manistee and Mil-
  waukee announces that they will run
  their steamer all winter.
     Such a feat will require ice break-
  ing such as has not before been at-
  tempted.  Their landing place at this
  port is at the Northern Mich. dock at
  the foot of James street.
     To get to this dock will require the
  breaking of ice above the track of the
  car-ferries and where it has never be-
  fore been kept open.
     At Manistee the harbor has always
  become unnavigable by heavy ice and
  the fact that there are no car ferries
  there to keep it broken up will mean
  a heavy task to make that port in
  severe weather.
  
  -------------------------------------
  
     The government dredge GEN. GEL-
  ESPIE has been in port during the past
  week finishing up the work of dredg-
  ing the harbor and lowering the bar
  north of the piers.  This is the last
  work to be done by the boat this fall.
  As soon as the new wheels arrive for
  the propeller the GILLESPI will go to
  Milwaukee to have them adjusted.
  She will go into winter quarters in 
  Grand Haven.

  Local Items:
  
   - The barge MARSHALL F. BUTTERS took
     on a load of bulk salt for Waukegon
     Monday.
     
   - Pere Marquette carferry 16, which
     has been in service on Lake Erie ar-
     rived Thursday afternoon about four
     o'clock and will probably be laid up
     here for the winter.
