T1 9T. CLOUD DEMOCRAT, ****.\f! awtMnflWi, «Wou» PROPRIETOR. THURSDAY^ AUGUST 23d, I860 VO±4 3 ISO. TOWNS SJLIISra? O D. St. Cloud is the point at which the Red Riv er trains cross the Mississippi on their way to fit. Paul, which proves it to be the natural tunction of land travel between these two great arteries of trade. It is at the present head of •team navigation on the Mississippi. Boats run regularly, during the Spring and early Summer months, from St Anthony to this place. The map gives Us position correctly with reference to all the most important points in the Territory, but the peculiar beauty of its location, and fertility of the surrounding coun try cannot bo transcribed. Within fifteen mile of St. Cloud, on opposite sides of tht river, and at different points of the compass are eight lakes varying in size from 1 mile to 6 miles in circumference, all, save one, beau tifl, exceedingly, three ot them at .least, doep enough to float a man-of-war. Woodedbanks, clean pebbly shores plentifully mixed with cornelian and waters abundantly supplied with fish. When Gov. Stevens made his survey of a northern railroad route to the Pacific in '53, he camped "on the western side of the Mis sissippi below Sauk Rapids." The place was nameless—the present site of St. Cloud but it is here his route leaves the river. In the sum mer of '55 a claim cabin was built on the spot where we now write, a good saw mill, the frame of a large Hotel and eight other dwell ings were put up that summer. This last fall there were three hundred and thirty-two votes palled in the precinct. Not the votes of Indi aus or Half Breeds, for there are none here.— A majority of the inhabitants of the country are hardy Germans, with sturdy wives aud ehildren cultivating the soil and working at mechanical employments. The subsoil i3 sandy and although the soil is. from one to three feet deep, a rich black loam supporting a rank vegetation, the drainage is •o perfect and the air so pure that breathiug is a perpetual pleasure. As yet, our physi cians have discovered no diseases peculiar to the climate, no indegmious complaint except the "Minnesota Appetite" which requires one fourth more treatment than a modest Pennsyl vania or Ohio attack of a corresponding dis ease. Any body who wants to drink whiskey in peace had better not come here, for the treaty by which the land was acquiredfrom the Sioux forbids its introduction and the Legislature has passed a law enforcing that provision but peoplo of moderate means andindustrious hab who have children to educate, willfindfew places where the opportunity for correctmoral training, healthy development of muscle, and the means of pecuniary independenee are bet ter combined. There areimmense tracts of pine lyingabove, from which the mills at St. Paul, St. Anthouy, and the Minnesota Valley are supplied. These employ a large and ever-increasing force of men, horses snd oxen, who arc to be supplied with provisions, clothing and feed. The soil is waiting for an opportunity to produce unlimi ted quantities of food, without troubling the farmer crushing clods while the Mississippi from St. Paul to Little Falls ean afford to turn mill at almost any point and has water pow er enough to do the manufacturing for a Con tinent Our natural meadows produce a grass from four to six.feet high, and the beefkilled off our prairies is quite equal to any stall fed wet ave ever eaten Our venison is fine at ten cents per pound, rabbits, prairie hens, partridges, ducks, &c, plenty. Thousands of bushels of aeorns for the hogs that are not here to eat them. Fuel for the labor of cutting and haul mg off tho ground and there is no likelihood of the supply running out soon as the "Big Woods" extend from this place some twenty miles or more, down this side of the river and from eight to twelve miles back Our prairies are a'l dotted with strips of wood land, "Oak Openings which just look like old orchards, dense thickets of plum trees bearing delicious fruit, grape vines, doing likewise, thousands of acres of hazel bushes and strawberry vines,en gaged in the same business while some hun dred acres are in the cranberry trade and turn out an article, which for quantity and quailty eonnot be excelled. The blackberries red rasp berries and hops taek up their shingles in the woods and seldom disappoint the most san guine expectations of their customers. There is still land ten or fifteen miles back which set tiers can get, at government price, hy building cabin and living on it until it comes into nvirket. Actual settlers can buy lots here at from one tofive.hundred dollars, and specula tor:! can have the same lots at from five to fif-enclosed een hundred In some of the river towns back, places that will be pleasant villages, lots can be had gratis by those who will build and live on them.— This, in places where a house can be built for fifty dollars, that would be a palace compared to the dens rented in large cities for 4 and 5 dollars per month, while the lot, with only the aid of a grubbing hoe and a few days labor, would bring vegetables to feed a family, and every township has 600 acres appropriated to the support ef schools. Seventy thousand acres are appropriated to a State University. A fine buildinghasalready been erected for the use of that institution. It situated a St. Anthony, built of stone-on an _* commanding a view of the falls, and \jt the Union has a better foundation ocfeystem of popular education. No riri* State is sowell timbered as Min- nesota a*dtto State inorc abundantly supplied with.a1ku% water. In the country surrounding St. ClouAand is far NortbondWest aswe have any veReofeamount, settlers*nnd no difficults in locating land on a running Stream or trany I -arent flake with plenty of timber at hand for building^fenoih^ and fuel, and aa the land on the West sidVof the Upper Mississippi is only open to pre-emption, there is tittle opportunity for speculators, and sewers have assurance of "•ijSefeor* and that rapid increase in the value of their landsend in social advantages which arisefromthe system of land in limited qnan titief#^s«»ftetlter«/:-~ The country around St. Cloud, west of the Mississippi was purchased of the Indians in a treaty made with them by the. Hon. Alexander Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 and ratified by the senate the same year. The Sioux had owned the land from 1827 but had hot occupied it, and it was used as a hunting ground by the Winnobagoes whose land reached within four miles north of St. Cloud. Their eountry was eeded to the United States by a treaty began with Commissioner Manypeny and conclnded at Washington in Feb. 1855 nnd ratified by the Senate March 8d of the same year. In May following they removed to their reservation on the Blue Earth river and only since that time has Stearns County claimed kindred with oiwfl issiion. Thefirsthouse within, the oorporated limits of St. Cloud was built by James Hitch one forGeneral Lowry. James Hftehene being the first white man who slept in a house here, is entitled.to thj» distinction of heingthe "eld- eat InnabUent." Theeit* of Lower St. Cloud WMUkenupMaelaimby Martin W^otty, a Norwegian, whoeold his right to George F. Brott, who surveyed andplatteditin the spring ef'65. About the same time John L. Wilson surveyed and platted what isnowcalled middle town, which adjoins and lies higher.up the riv er, while General Lowry surveyed and platted upper town, called Lowry's Addition, the win ter following. It was Mr. Wilson who gave the town the name of St. Cloud by this name it was incorporated in the winter of '56 '56.— The Land Office was removed in April '58 from Sauk Rapids to the Upper town. Thepost office is in Middle town, which is inhabited by in dustrious and well to do German Catholics.— The Catholic chapel is here, and the bell .be longing to it, is the first church going bell in Stearns County and has also the distinction ot being the first audible inSherburneand Benton counties which cornereh the opposite 'aide of the river. There too is a school keptby a com pany of Benedictine Nuns where music, draw ing, needlework and German are well taught by ladies ef polished manners and unusual proficiency. Lower town has two protestant churches, in process of erection, one quite completed We have a public school in the Everett School house, and a handsome Library dedicated by Hon. Edward Everett. The engines of an ex cellent saw mill and plaining mill, sash facto ry and of a goodflouringmill are this mo ment puffing away within half a dozen rods of our office. We have from five to six steamboat arrivals here weekly and the smallest propor tion of drones we have ever,seen in any hive. In the fall of '56 Grasshoppers came tn a cloud and settled down in this and adjoining counties, destroying the greater portion of the crops. They deposited their larva) and died. Early in the:spring of '67 the young brood came out and made such havoc that serious fears of famine were entertained by a large portion of the people but they left in July.and so many of the late crops survived, that with the full crops of particular places, where they did not appear, there was a large amount of food. In autumn it became a question wheth er there was enough for winter consumption with what the peoplehad the means of purchas ing from below. The German settlers were generally of the opinion that there wasnot,and tke Priests sent commissioners to Dubuque to ask contributions. When this became known in Lower St. Cloud Indignation meetings were held, and strong resolutions passed condemn ing measure as altogether unnecessary, and one calculated to do the country great injury by preventing emigration in the spring. The Correctness of this view of the case is now pro ven. The third week of May is here, potatoes sell at 25cts. per bushel, corn $1,00, wheat $1,25, oats, 80 cts. and we have heard of no instance in which any have suffered for want of food while a very large proportion of the emigrants who had last year designed emigra ting to this point have been deterred by this bugbear cry of famine, and have gone else where. The time is now past at which the Grasshoppers appeared last spring, and the minds of the people are set on-rest asthe ques tion of whether they left lave), last year, be fore they emigrated. It is evident that they went to other localities as they came here to eat, deposit? their eggs and die. There is no sign that they have left any deposits here, and as everybody is putting in a crop of some thing good to eat, we expect next fall to be en umbered with a surplus of the good things of his life, and to inundate St. Anthony Minne apolis and St. Paul, with vegetables and grain after supplying the Pine regions and the la borers on the Rail Road. j^JJEOLJ^NJD-&TJL. DOUGLAS COUNTY. This town is beautifully located in one of the finest Agricultural regions in the North West. It is inthe centre of the County and is admitted by all to occupy a natural point for Town. Farrmers in quest of superior land— claims combining timber, water, and prairie— Invalids seeking health and a comfortable re treat where hunting and fishing may be indul ged in to any extent or the lover of the beautiful in nature, will at Alexandria find their several tastes gratified. Situated on the State Road to Breckinridge and Fort Abercrombie—equally distant from either—under the management of men possess ing the utmost energy, Alexandria bids fair to be one of the largest inland towns in Min nesota. The country to the south and west is Prairie and Timber in the finest proportion while to the North and East there extends an unbroken body of Woodland, the greater por tion of it being of good size and quality. The Prairies and Lakes in the vicinity de serve particular mention. Eden Prairie is ten miles long, and from one to one and a-half miles wide, with timber along the sides and is well watered. It offers superior facilities to Farmers and at many points along are beauti ful building spots on the shore of a beautiful lake. Garden Door and Sedge Prairies are also worth the attention of Farmers, being of moderate size high upland and entirely with timber. These Prairies all di verge from the Town Site and are accessible to the State Road. Lake "Agnes" and "Wi nona," skirting "Eden Prairie," charmingbod ies of water and for picturesque beauty cannot be surpassed. Within one,two and three miles are Lakes "L. Homedieu" "Carlos" and "Dar ling" connecting and forming a sheet of water 20 miles in extent. These lakes are grand and beautiful- Along their banks are thousands of claims—a country capable of supporting dense settlements, and to those seeking homes in the West is presented country possessing ex traordinary attractions.
