Time Line

1917. The DSS&A railroad has announced that the big docks in this city will be closely guarded, as a measure of precaution in case of war. From these docks is shipped a large part of the iron ore from the Marquette range. The LS&I railroad docks on Presque Isle are being closely guarded also. [LSJ-1917-0404]
