mm THE ST.CLOUD DEMOCRAT JANE G. SWISSHELfo. EDITOR Thursday, October, a7th, 1859 Luiieaa mmt*m ^TOWITS S JLHST GLOTJDi Si. Cloud ia the point at which the Rod Riv er trains cross the Mississippi oil their, way to St. Paul, which proves it to bo the natural mnction of hunt travel between these two great arteries of trade. It is'at the present head of •team navigation on the Mississippi. Boats rua Regularly: during the Spring aud early Summer mouths, from St. Anthony to this place. The map give3 its position correctly with reference to all the nioat important points the Territory, but the peculiar beauty of itsing, location, and fertility of the surrounding coun wy cinuot be transcribed. Within fifteen •tile of St. Cleud, on opposite sides of riveri and at different points of the compass av# eight lakes varying in siza from 1 inilo to miles in circumference, nil, save one, beau tifl, exceedingly, three ot them at least, deep *nough to fleata man-of-war. Wooded banks, an pebbly shores plentifully mixed with ••*aelian and waters abundantly supplied with £*b. 4 When G*v. Stevens mado his survey of^ a •wrthftt'B railroad route to the Pacific in 'o3,tion h« eanned "on the western side of the Mis •issippi below Sauk Rapids." The placo was eanaeless—the present site of St. Cloud but it is hero 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 polled in the precinct. Not the votes of Indi ans or Half Breeds, for there are none here.— A majority of the inhabitants of the country aro hardy Germans, with sturdy wives aud children cultivating the soil and working at mechanical employments. The subsoil is sandy and although the soil is from ene to three feet deep, a rich black loam supporting a rank vegetation, the drainage^ is •o perfect and the air so pure that breathiug ia a perpetual pleasure. As yet, our physi cians have discovered no diseases peculiar to the climate, no indeg.-nious complaint except the "Minnesota Appetite" which requires one fourth more treatment than a modest Pennsyl vania or Ohio attack of a corresponding dis ease. A ay body who wants to drink whiskey in peace had better not com* 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 people of moderate means and industrious hab it who have children to educate, willfindfewGrasshoppers places where the opportunity for correct moral training, healthy development of muscle, and the means of pecuniary independence are bet ter combined. There areimmense tracts of pine lying above, from which the mills at St. Paul, St. Anthony, and the Minnesota Valley are supplied. These employ a large and ever-increaring force of men, horses snd oxen, who are 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 arom St. Paul to Little Falls can afford to turn mill at almost any point and has water pow er eaough to do th« manufacturing for 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 wo Lave •rer eaten Our venison is line at ten cents per pound, rabbits, prairie liens, partridges, ducks, &.O., plenty. Thousands of bushels of **oin9 for the hogs that are not here to eatlong them. Fuel for the labor of cutting and haul ing off the ground and there ia 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 1 dotted with strips of wood land, "Oak Openings which just look like old orchards, dense thiekets 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 acro3 are in the cranberry trade and tnrn out an article, which for quantity and quailty eonnot be excelled. The blackberries red rasp berries aud hop3 tack up their shingles in the woods and 3oldom dissappoint 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 market. Actual settlers can buy lots here at from one to five hundred dollars, and specula tors can have the same lots at from five to of ten hundred. In some of the river towns back, places that will he 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 ifty 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 tho support of schools. Seventy thousand acres are appropriated to a State University. A fine buildinghas already been erected for the use of that institution. It situated a St. Anthony, built of stone on an eminence commanding a view of the falls, and no State in the Union has a bettor foundation for a good system of popular education. No ether prairie State is so well timbered as Min nesota and no State more abundantly supplied with clear water. In the country surrounding *t. Cloud and as far North and West aswe have any reliable account, settlers find no -difficulty in locating land on a running stream or trans parent lake with plenty of timber at hand for building, fencing and fuelj and as the land on the West side of the Upper Mississippi is only open to pre-emption, (hero is little opportunity for speculators, and settlers have assurance of .neighbors and that rapid increase in the value •ef their lands and in social advantages which arise from the system of land in limited quan tities to actual settlers. The country around St. Cloud, west of theforever Mississippi was purchased of tho Indians in a treaty made with them by the Hon. Alexander Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 aud ratified by the senate the same year. The Sioux had owned the land from 1827 but had not occupied ,and it was used as a hunting ground by the Winnebagoos whose land reached within four miles north of St. Cloud. Their country was ceded to the United States by a treaty began with Commissioner Manypeny and eonolnded at Washington in Fob. 1866 and citified by the fenate March 8d of the some yse. in May following they removedto their reservation on the Blue Earth river and only since thai time has Stearns County elamed kindred with civil ization. Thefirsthouse within thweorporatedity limits of St Cloud was built by Jaaje* Hiteh onafoaei ral Lowry. James Hitetiens being .{he, fijrst wht man who slept in a house hero is rtrw5M.ib«&dis*fno*1#x of j&trtof tfce^otli- lumbered m*m ejt inhabitant." The site of Lower St. Cloud was taken up as a claim by Martin Wolly, a Norwegian, who sold his right: to George F. Brett, who surveyed andplatteditintho spring of'65. About the same time John L. Wilson surveyed and platted what, is now called middle town, which adjoins and lies higher up the liv er, while General Lowry surveyed and platted upper town, called Lowry'e Addition, the win ter following. It was Mr. Wilson Who gavo the town the name of St. Cloud by this name it Was incorporated in the winter of '65 '6(5.— The Lain! Office was removed in April '68 from Sauk Rapids to the Uppor town. The post office is in Middle town, which is inhabited by in dustrious and well to do German Catholics.— The Catholic chapel is here,' and the boll be longing to it, is the first church going bell in Stearns County and has also the distinction of being the first audible inSherburneand Benton counties which corner on the opposite side of the river. There too is a school kept by a com pany of Benedictine Nuns where musio, draw* needlework and German are well taught by ladies ef poBshed xaanners 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, s.i.«h facto ry and of a good flouring milt are this mo ment putting away within half a dozen rods of our office. We have from fivo to six steamboat arrivals here weekly and the smallest propor 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 larvae and died. Early in the spring of '57 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 noD. instance in which any have suffered for want of food while a very large proportion of theTHEIR 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 appeared last spring, and the minds of the people are set on rest as the ques tion of whether they left lavae, last year, be fore they emigrated. It is evident that they went to other localities as they came here to eat, deposite their eggs and die. There is no ign that they have left any deposits here, and as everybody is putting in a crop of some hing good to eat, we expect next fall to be en- 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. This town is situated on the Sioux Wood river, and is the Western termination of the Minneso ta and Pacific railroad the point laid down by Capt. Pope on his map. as the head of steam navigation on the Red river the valley of the Bed river is about twenty miles wide on either side of the stream, and about five hundred miles the surface is level and drained by numerg ous streams which are skirted with elm, ash, bass wood, white wood and pine of the largest growth, the remainder of the valley is prairie, composed of rich, black loam free from sand, barrens or swamps. Red river is a deep, slow stream, has no islands, sand bars or snags to obstruct navigation the banks are about 25 feet high, and not subject to overflow many of the tributaries of the Red river are strongly Impregnated with salt, and indications of iron and coal are numerous in the vicinity. The farmers of the valley of the Red river gave to Major Wood as the average of their crops wheat 30 to 40 barley 40 to 80 oats 40 50 and potatoes 200 to 800 bushels to the acre. At Pembina, (200 miles north of Breck inridge,) ex-Gov. Ramsey says, on the 2d October, 1851, water melons and cantelopes were served to us for dessert,and the first frost that occured was on the night of that day," (see address before the Minnesota Agricultural Society, Oct. 10th, 1856.) Two largo set tlements have long existed on Red river Pembina and Selkirk, both of which yearly raise a large surplus of the products of the farm the whole valley of the Red river is rapidly filling up with an energetic and intel ligent population the country being exceed ingly healthy, and should the indications of iron and coal lead to the discovery of those minerals as large as is anticipated, this vaUey will soon be swarming with a population en gaged in agriculture, mining and manufactur ing, snpplying eastern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri with the products of their labor and skill the Minnesota and Pacific railroad will be placed immediately under contract as by terms of its charter it must be finished from Stillwater to St. Anthony with in two years, and completed to Breckinridge, within ten years from the 3d of March, 1857, or forfeit its* franchise as well as the lands donated to it. Breckinridge is also at the point where Gov. Steven's survey of a route for the Pacific rail road crosses the Sioux Wood river, an exami nation of the Western States, and a reference to the writings of Gov. Stevens, ex-Gov. Ram say or the Congressional documents containing the reports of Maj. Long and Capt. Pope, ean not fail to convince that such is the geograph ical position of Breckinridge that all that portion of the Territory of the United States which lay's west of the Mississippi and north of the head waters of the Minnesota rivers must forever be tributary to that city, and that Breckinridge is to be not only the com mercial centre for the north-west, but will be the gate city on the great north-west highway of nations. Breckinridge is now being improved by the Proprietors, who are erecting dwellings, for themselves, a hotel, grist null, saw mill, a shingle and lath machine, &c.
