Mormon Settlement Grows On Beaver Islands
The Beaver Islands in Lake Michigan attract attention for healthful climate, fisheries, and Mormon settlement led by followers of Mr Strang. Big Beaver Island hosts 50 000 acres of timber and soil with Paradise Bay as main harbor. Two hundred boats and five hundred fishermen support flourishing trade. Mormons plan mills, farms, a school offering free Indian-child instruction, and soon a weekly paper. The Troy propeller serves the route, and population is about 300 now, expected to reach 1000 by season end.
