End of Navigation Near on Chequamegon Bay
End of the navigation season approaches with ferry boats to run until the bay freezes. The Ira Owen hauled a car from the Washburn elevator on Tuesday, Parch Foster loaded yesterday, and the large steamer Elphicke is due today ending the lakes season for the institution. Three boats were at lumber docks this week with one more expected by Hines Lumber. Coal dock traffic was light. Insurance on lake vessels expires around December 5, after which cargoes head to Down Lake and winter quarters. Lake business was fair, though arrivals slowed after a pilots and captains strike delayed last spring.
