STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT.
There are some things in the present
condition of affairs at Superior, which, a*
far as they go, are certainly encouraging
We do not refer to the numerous
lately received by an ambitious rival.
These, however richly deserved by that
rival in the past, and however sure to be
followed by other and greater reactions in
the future, are not enough of themselves to
develope this place. Let not our citizens
and property owners suppose tor a moment
that the mere overthrow of the lying words
and lawless plans of the North Shore spec
ulators will accomplish wonders on this side
of the bay.
But anything which looks to positive ef
fort in this place is encouraging; and cer
tainly our citizens have never been so ready
to act for themselves as now. They have
waited some years for non residents to
lead, in vain, and now feel that indefinite
hopes will not do. This feeling has influ
enced them to no little planning and action
during the last six months.
There has been an awakened interest, a
knowledge of the situation, a guarding
against irresponsible schemes, a quiet de
termination to see the matter through, and
a disposition to stand up tor their legal
rights tl at speaks better for the future ot
this place than ail the past years of master
ly inactivity.
This change in our home affairs is a per
manent one. Superior will no longer be
the prey of hostile craft, the quiet dupe of
the mere speculator, or the patient sufferer
at the hands of slothful, incompetent, and
blundering friendship.
And now we wish our large property
holders to recognize the new order of
things, and come to their own rescue. Our
interest is theirs. Let them only bepuoMPT
in saying yes or no to the plans that come
before them, and matters will proceed with
tin* assurance of speedy success.
We have suffered from the endless pro
crastination, halting, and hesitating that
mark the conduct of some of our real estate
owners. Either let those gentlemen lead
off, and at once take measures, ami give
pledges, that show they mean business, or
let them yield like men to any who may he
willing to do the woik they >eem unable
to do.
w e wish you, gentlemen, to combine on
some plan that will interest a live railroad
man in this place. Names have been men
tioned to you. What will you do about
them? Whom will you combine on? Let
us hear from you by letter with a prompt
and manly statement of your intentions.
Don't blame so-and-so for lying to such a
one, but tell us what you are wildng to do,
and on what specific conditions. Come
right up to the mark this present summer,
and let us know what you will do as your
part toward the important enterprise of
commencing a railway here immediately.
There never was a finer time to strike
than now. Anv live business man among
J O
our property owners ought to be able at
such a time as this, to effect a suitable
combination of our capitalists, and make
such terms with genuine railroad builders
as shall ensure the beginning of railroad
work speeddy, and with it tlie steady
growth of this unrivalled port from this
time henceforth.
Again we say to one an 1 all of our non
resident owners: now i- your time. The :
railroad era is upon us. Our people are
awake and determined. And all that is
needed is the willingness on your part to
combine on a railroad man as your agent
J 3 i
who will make proper contracts this pres- ;
<iut summer. We wait to hear from you.
The weather prophets at Washington
predicted a slight disturbance lasi Saturday
night on the upper lakes. It came Tuesday

THE SUPERIOR TIMES.
YOL. 1.
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY.
The rapidity with which this g eat na
tional thoroughfare is being built, is re dly
astonishing when we take into considera
tion the character of country through
which the road is now being constructed.
Already the mighty Mississippi is spanned
by a substantial bridge and trains run
thirty" miles beyond, while track laying pro
gresses as speedily as men tnd money will
permit.
Brainerd, on the line of the road at the
M ississippi crossing, is a rapulK jr wing
town yet in its infancy, and wnh i.s pres nt
prospects it will not be many years b for
its inhabitants are counted by the thou
sands.
Work has been commence*! on !*=-
cific coast and will be vigorously pr •>; -
cuted. The road when finished will at
once command a large portion ot‘ the bu> -
ness between the waters of ih>* two gr. at
oceans, which cann t fail to pa*s over its
track in seeking an eastern market by way
of the lakes.
Including the purchase and consolidation
ot the St. Paul Pacific Railroad, the
Northern Pacific now has over 425 miles
ot road in working order, and before the
; close of the year 1871, the company will
have tJOO miles or more fully equipped and
doing business.
Among the numerous products of the Pa
cific coa*t may be counted lumber and fish,
which will form an immense traffic, and lie
transported to the tide of immigrants now
setiling up the rich and fertile farming dis
tricts in the States and Territories, along
the line of road. All Europe is full of m- j
thusiasm in regard to the healthfuiness of
our climate. When we reflect it is not as
touching that our productive soil is sought
after by so many desirous of obtaining
good farms.
Lake Superior is the eastern terminus of
this gigantic highway, but the exact spot|
on the shores of said lake yet remains an
unsolved mystery with the anx : ous and cu
rious public. Xo definite and permanent
point has yet been selected, notwithstand
ing all inflated newspaper misrepresenta
tions to the contrary.
What fortunes men would make, could
i
they 1 >ut peer into the dim future and dis-i
corn financially the proper course to pursue
in order to arrive at the goal of the avari- 1
i
cions. It is no uncommon occurrence to {
see facts positively stated in connection j
with the future designs of the company in |
undignified sheets, and in the course of!
tune, in the same organ*, see a shame e** '
!
contraction, and some other equally obnox-j
ions and lying assertion made. That, it s
provoking and disgu-ting, there cannot be j
a doubt, and it is all done for money, and I
not calculated to forward the comm-rcial
prosperity of any place.

We copy the following description of the
new iron steamers India, China and Japan
from an exchange:
The four iron steamers now in process of construe
tion at Buffalo, for Messrs. J. C. and E. T. Evans, are
to be of lik proportions and capacity. Their dimen
sionsare: length of keel, 210 feet; length over all,
221 feet; breadth of beam, 32 feet 6 inches, depth of
hold, 14 feet. They are to have double c'linders, i
thirty-six inches in diameter and 28 inch stroke. The
capacity will be each 9'4 tons, old measurement.
From 36" to 370 tons of iron will be required in their
construction, and the cost of each will be ahout $125. |
tkji). Each vessel will he supplied with one rna-t, jib
and foresail, and the standing rigging will be of wire.
The iron plating will be double-rivetted. fore and aft,
and each vessel will have five water-tight compart
ments The decks over the boilers, will be of iron,
and. what is an entirely new feature, the coal hunkers
will be of iron, so that practically each vessel will be
fire proof. Should a fire occur in the cabin, it cannot
extend beyond it, and ample shelter for passengers
would be afforded in the hull of the vessel, we pre
sume. On the promenade deck will be forty-two state
rooms, and a dining-room extending over a length of
one hundred and six feet, and black walnut and bird
eve maple are to be employed in the finishing of the
interior. The appoiatim nts are of the best kind, and
the provisions for the comfort and convenience of pas
sengers are to be ample. The three vessels on the
stocks will be launched about the mid' le of May, a: and
the speed of each of the steamers is expected to be
from twelve to twentv-five knots an hour.
Ti e propellers St. Paul and R. G. Coburn ire being
thoroughly overhauled and improved. They will both
have snow white upper works and dark bonze hulls.
Our Detroit exchanges say that the improvements be
i' g made on the steamer Keweenaw are very exten
sive. Neither pains or expense are being spared to
make her one of the finest -team palaees afloat. Her
j exterior and interior arrangement* are well worth,* of
• inspection.
SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1871.
DEATH OF CAP AIN ROBERT F, SLAUGHTER
The on! sett ers of Superior will deeply
regret to heir of the death of the above
named g' ntleman, who was well known and
highly respected by them all. He was the
original proprietor of Slaughter’s Addition
to this city, and was interested in other
real estate ventures in and around this
place in early days. We copy the follow
ing well deserved sketch of him from the
‘
St. Paul PYess of Wednesday:
The older residents of St. Paul will bo pained to
learn of the death of Capt. Robert F. Slaughter, an old
resident of St. Paul, w rich Sid event occurred at St.
Peter, on Sunday last. He was a man of such rare
goodness of heart, and of so kind and generous a na
ture, that the announcement of his demise will be re
eeived with sincere sorrow by every one who knew
him. Capt. She ghter was a son of Judge Slaughter,
of Lanea-ter, Ohio, (where the subject of this iuper
feet sketch was born,) tor many tears a Judge of the
ireuit Court of that Stale, and regarded as one af its
pioneers and founders. Judge Slaughter was a man
of somewhat eccentric character, but of remarkable
talent He was one of the best informed men in the
j Mate, and a gentleman of the “old school.” He giu
| died law in the same office with Henry Clay, in Vir
ginia, and during th.-ir lives the two were devoted
fr t ods, notwithstanding marked differences in polit
-1 ieal belief. The Judge he ins overtaken by reverses
in old age, Capt. Slaughter commenced life (or him
self by learning the printer’s trade, and for soni-time
was foreman in the office of the Lancaster Eagle , of
I which Col. f). A. Robertson, of this city, was pub
Usher. Col. Robertson dissolved his connection with
the office, and Captain Slaughter established a paper
at Covington, Kentucky. In a short time after be
ginning its publication the office was destroyed by
tire, and Mr. Slaughter lost every dollar of the little
property he had accumulated. He aft- rwards re
turned to Lancaster, and in 1850 removed wi h his
family to this State in company with Colonel Robert
son. After his arrival, the Colonel start'd the Minne
sota Democrat, and for some time Captain Slaughter
was employed in the establishment. He subsequently
worked in the office of the Mi unesotian, then published
by Col. John I*. Owens and George W. Moore, near
the corner of Fifth and Jackson streets, but in 1854,
severed his connection with the printing business and
began dealing in real estate—making his fir-t substan
tial beginning in connection with B. W. Brunson, Esq ,
of this city, at Superior, Wisconsin. For several years
his operations were very successful, and his gains were
counted by the thousands He controlled important
landed interests at Superior, Stillwater, Anoka, St.
Paul and other places. He was a man of wonderful
energy and activity, and feas of pedestrimism have
been recorded of him which are almost beyond belief.
On several occasions he has 1 -ft Superior with a pack
upon his back, and walked the entire distance from
that place to St. Paul in two and a half days, having
no other road than such as is found in an Indian
trail. These severe journeys finally undermined his
constitution, and he was prostrated with hemorrhages,
from the effects of which he never recovered. With
10-s of health came the memorable financial crash of
1857, and like the experiences of too many others, the
bulk of his property was swept awav.
He bore his misfortunes without complaint, and
iiumfwUy struggled on in hone of attain aeoiu-imr
wealth for himself and family, and after many attempts
both in this State and upon the Pacific Coast, settled
at Mankato, and entered the service, as Captain in the
2d Minnesota Cavalry, commanded by Gen. McLaren,
of this city. 'hen mustered out of the service Capt.
Slaughter settled at St. Peter, was elected Clerk of
the Court in 1869 and acted in that capacity up to
the time of his death. He leaves a wife and four chil
dren— three daughters and one son—to mourn the loss
of one who, in every relation of life, proved himself
worthy of the highest esteem. The grave does not of
ten hide the fleshly vestments of a nobler soul or one
endowed with qualities which win the warm affection.
