INTRODUCTORY.
We take great pleasure in presenting to the citizens of Mich- igan City a directory for 1890 and 1891. In the getting up of this work great care has been exercised to get the most accurate information.
We have spared no pains or expense in getting out a direc- tory that the good people of Michigan City would feel proud of.
Of course we are all human and make mistakes and no doubt the critical eye will find a few errors in the work. Nevertheless the citizens of Michigan City can depend upon its reliability as a whole.
To our advertisers and subscribers we wish to return our sincere thanks for their very generous support and also to the gentlemen of the press for the many courtesies extended during our stay in their beautiful city.
Yours Respectfully,
THE PUBLISHERS. August, 1890.

MICHIGAN CITY.
The beginning of whatever is great, useful or important are always studied by the thoughtful with a curious interest propor- tioned in degree to the dignity and value of the results. Whether it be the birth of a child the origin of a race, or the founding of a state, the date of the initial event and its productive causes, and all its important surroundings and concomitants, become subjects of an interest that is more or less vivid as the conse- quences of the event may, more or less nearly or favorably, — affect us.
What man or woman does not often turn back in thought to parents, and to the birth mystery in which each begins the greater mystery of life ? Who does not carefully cherish the memory and preserve the record of his parentage and the date of his birth, whether the events of his life causes him to bless, to mourn, or even presumptuously to curse the authors and the day of his birth ? So, too, the birth of races and of nations and even of communities, is full of a glad or a sad interest to those whose lives and fortunes have been shaped or colored by the controlling events.
HISTORY.
In 1831 Isaac Elston, of Crawfordsville, Ind., purchased of the Government the land on which Michigan City is now located, and in October, 1S32, he laid out the town. The town site was an uninviting one, a large portion of it being low and marshy.

and was covered with a heavy growth of pine timber among which was a few sugar maples.
Trail Creek made its way over the sands to the lake, winding round the foot of Hoosier Slide, a still, sluggish stream so little passed over that a person could cross it without difficulty on foot.
At this point it was believed a good harbor could be made. Hence the purchase made by Major Elston, and the subsequent operations towards building up a flouring city and a harbor on the great lakes for the State of Indiana. Formerly the line be- tween Indiana and the Territory of Micjiigan was south of where it is now located, shutting Indiana off entirely from all harbor facilities and lake commerce, thus depriving her of all the benefits to be derived from the immense commerce of the Great Lakes. The boundry Hne was for some time a matter of sharp dispute, but was finally adjusted by giving to Indiana a position on the coast of Lake Michigan. La Porte, Porter and Lake Counties are now bounded on the North by its waters.
In 1833 the first settlers arrived in Michigan City. The low, swampy lands covered with timber, and the high sand hills, pre- sented but few attractions to welcome them. There were presented to their view only sand ridges and marshes. Hoosier Slide loomed up many feet, while below and all around it there was only the white glittering sand, and further back, across the creek that passes through the wood, that were at that time the
abode of wild beasts, only a low wet track of country. It was, indeed, a discouraging outlook for a city.
But the hope that one day a city would arise there despite the many adverse circumstances, and that a harbor would be made which should be to Indiana what Chicago is to Illinois, filled the first comers with the spirit of enterprise and the work of improvement began.
MICHIGAN CITY DIRECTORY.
How that hope was realized can plainly be seen by a visit to the now beautiful Harbor City. Behold her now, with her lum- ber market the largest in the State, her plaining mills, her refrigerator works, her flour mills, her chair factories, her car works, her hosiery mills, her cooperage, her carriage works, her brewery, her banks, her salt industry and her beautiful stores and magnificent hotels, her churches and schools, and you will get a idea of her growth. Then again let us stroll along her peaceful streets, so beautiful and shaded on either side, by long waving rows of trees and gaze on her neat looking dwellings, nestling so lovingly in a ' sea of leaves ' that seem to be whisp- ering the heart song of the world, " Home, Sweet Home."
This is pleasure to us, and a pleasure pure and good.
And now as we close this short history of Michigan City with its thousands of inhabitants, and hundreds of homes made ele- gant by taste — fitting caskets of social refinement and domestic happiness — let us look back and turn our eyes to the log cabin days of less than fifty years ago and contrast it with the elegant mansion of modern times.
Before us stands the old log cabin.
Let us enter.
Instinctively the head is uncovered in token of reverence to this relic of ancestral beginnings and early struggles.
To the left is the deep, wide fire place in whose commodious space a group of children may set by the fire, and up through the chimney may count the stars, while ghostly stories of witches and giants and still more thrilling stories of Indians and wild beasts, are whisperingly told and shudderingly heard. On the great crane hang the tea-kettle and the great iron pot. The huge shovel and tongs stand sentinel in either corner while the great andirons patiently wait for the huge back log. Over the
NoTE-On pageS, ninth line from top, the word flouring should read flourishing.

fire-place hangs the trusty rifle. On the right side of the fire- place stands the spinning-wheel, while in the further end of the room the loom looms up with a dignity peculiarly its own. Op- posite the door by which you enter stands a huge deal table; by its side the dresser whose " pewter plates " and " shining delf " catch and reflect " The fire-place flame as shields of armies." From the corner of its shelves coyly peep out the relics of former China. In a curtained corner and hid from casual sight we find the mother's bed, while near it a ladder indicates the loft where the children isleep. To the left of the fire-place and in the corner opposite the spinning-wheel is the mother's work- stand. Upon it lies the Holy Bible, evidently much used, its family record telling of parents and friends a long way off, and telling, too, of children
Scattered like roses in bloom
Some at the bridal, and some at the tomb.
Her spectacles, as if but just used, are inserted between the leaves of her Bible, and tell of her purpose to return to its com- forts when cares permit and duty is done. A stool, a bench well notched and whittled and carved, and a few chairs com- plete the furniture of the room, and all stand on a coarse but well scoured floor. Let us for a moment watch the visitors to this humble cabin. The city bride, innocent but thoughtless, and ignorant of labor and care, asks her city-bred husband, " Pray, what savages set this up ?" Honestly confessing his ignorance he replies, " I do not know." But see the pair on whom age sits " frostly but kindly." First, as they enter they give a rapid glance about the cabin home, and then a mutual glance of eye to eye. Why do the tears start and fill their eyes ? Why do lips quiver ? There are many who know why, but who that has not learned in the school of experience the full

meaning of all these symbols of trials and privation, of loneli- ness and dan^^er, can comprehend the story that the}' tell to the pioneer. Within this chir.ked and mud-daubed cabin, we read the hrst pages of our history, and as we retire through its low door-way, and note the heavy battened door, its wooden hinges, and its welcome latch-string, is it strange that the scenes without should seem to be but a dream ? But the cabin and the palace, standing side by side in vivid contrast, tell the story of this peo- ple's progress; they are a history and a prophecy in one.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The safety and protection of our homes from the ravages of fire is one of the first considerations of importance in the selec- tion of a residence or business location and a fact that every one unhesitatingly concedes, so far as Michigan City goes in this direction, she is very fortunate in having so many of her busi- ness buildings brick and stone structures. But notwithstanding this fact her citizens with their usual caution have secured a very creditable fire department. The chief, William Phillips, is a good fireman and ever on the alert for anv emergency. The location of boxes and ke} s are as follows:

For a general alarm one long whistle. To locate a fire from box No. 15 the whistle will give i short and then five short whistles in succession, indicating box No. 15, &c.
For alarm of fire from box No. 23 the whistle will give 2 short and after thirty seconds' intermission will give 3 short whistles, indicating box 23, &c.
