THE fcITUA, ION AT DULUTH HER CAREER OF
FOLLY.
In pursuance of our duly as public chron
iclers we propose this week to trace the
course of public opinion as it has manifest
ed itse'f in our neighboring village—we heg
pardon—-city of Duluth. We believe that
tin* contemplation of the career of foilv ami
bo stfulness, which has been pursued bv
the men who have presumed to engim i r
and run that ambitious little commumiv,
will be an instructive study to those who
are in the h ibit of pinning the r faith to
newspap r editors, and devout]', believe in
ine tuost absurd propos. tions, provid -d
they are advocated by a sheet printed at
regular intervals.
Vv ’ r }’ inhabitant of Duluth start** our
with the axiom “Groat is Duluth, and Jav
Cooke is its prophet.” Having an ins me
conviction that lire barren rocky bluffs, the
gravelly points and marshy flats, which
contribute to form the site of that borough,
are situate in the exact centre of the p ty-d
-oal and commercial universe; his exuber
ant fancy runs a muck against nature, levels
tiie mountains, fills up the marshes, and
boasts and blows, as if the impossibilities
be speaks about had actually been per
formed. In like in inner his confidence and
trust in Jay Cooke is child ike in its sim
plify. When a Duluthian hears that Jay
Co-.ke has telegraphed, that Jay Cooke has
promised, he is satisfied. In ins mind tiie
subject mutter of t he telegram or of the
promise are put aside as “unfail accompli
the account is closed, the tiling is done,
i o an outsider it is refreshing to listen to
the arguments of a citizen of the “Zenith
city, as the poor fellows style their earthly:
abode. Whenever he says May Cooke has
said -o, or “J iy Cooke intends to have it
done, you at once perceive that he con-!
'id rs that a clincher, the ultima ratio ot
logic and wisdom, and he reposes on the I
omnipotence ot Jay Cooke with a faith
which would be sublime were it not so
ridiculous.
In IcGy the superintending engineer of!
the L. S. & .M. 1 buiroiul established the
duek> of tli.it corporation at Rice’s Point.
The raihoal was built to those docks, and
Rice’s Point was, by him made the basis |
of operations. An able engineer, he rec >g
uized the utter impraetleabidty of construct- 1
ing a harbor in the open lake, and selected
undoubtedly the only practicable point in !
a commercial po:*nt of \iew. Rut such se-1
lection did not suit the ring of lot owners
Forthwith the week y newspapers of the
town opened their abuse. Elevated upon
tiie edit -rial tripod the editors thought
themse.ves qua itied to judge of all things
beneath the sun, and they forth with howien
for “the outer harbor.” Through their in
fluence, an I the influence of laud shark-,
the -eng neer was removed and the "oiler
]> o' -or ' proje t was begun. Money w.e
spent, do ks were erect** l, breakwater and
elevat r built; and now after one years’
experienc there is scaicoiy a man in Du
luth, who does nut acknowledge that the
scheme is a failure, that the waves and ice
bergs ot L .ke Sap rior are not to be bound
by the puny erections of i lie Zenith city, ami
that the money expended is a total loss.
At present the luminous mind of Du.nth
has taken anew freak, which promises to
be hardly less expensive or useless than
the “ outer harbor” folly. The canal is all
the go, and again, the representatives of an
enlightened (;') press, who furnish the city
with ideas, till their sheets, and expose the.r
ignorance, with dissertations on that sub
ject. The dredging ol that ditch—ot course
Duluth calls it canal—promises to be a job
equally lasting an 1 enumerative, alwavs
po. i led the money don’t give out. Every
northeast wind, however gently it mav snr
tlie waves ot <d i Superior, manages to
the ditch with sand and gravel, and tints it
is the Lake vs. the dredge, with a fair pros
pect that the Lake will come out ahead.
As long as the money lasts the dre Ige
company can stand it; whether Duluth can
is another question.
e have been unable to learn whether
Jay Cooke h is promised to his admiring
children over the bay, that the canal shall
be finished, but we presume lie has. It
would be difheuit to explain the amount of
nonsense contained in Du ! ut i journals up-j
on any other theory. Nevertheless in about
another year the idea of a canal will be in
as bad an odor as the “outer harbor”
dodge.
The J turning Ctil is an enterprising
sheet published in the kt Zenith.” Its editor
has not entirely lost his common sense in
getti ig to tint place, and happened to pub
lish a tew truths regarding th it location.
But !o a i behold the while <>f Daluth •-
siting to madness, mobs are tuieateueu, iu.
THE SUPERIOR TIMES.
VOL. 1.
Superintendent ol the railroad prohibits the
paper to be Sold or carried on the cars (!?)
and the howls of the ‘ trooly loiP scalawag
papers are frightful. Duluth evidently don’t
believe in a tree press, and the managers of
•he L. S*. & 11. Kailroad do not dare to sut
ler the gr.'e tey’s who travel to Duluth to
re cl the C<tll, tor fear their unsophisticated
mi els, will fail to appreciate the beauty of
the com r lots and land sharks of the
“Z ni h.”
It m somewhat doubtful whether Duluth
ian* will ever return to the sober second
thought. For the past two or three years
they have floated in clouds of gas ot their
own creation, and nothing but a thorough
shaking up will awake that village to the
realities of life. Misfortune is a severe
teacher, but often the o dv iff ctive one
Ii would appear that the beginning of the
end has commenced.
Fhe GovernmliNT \Y(ii:k o.\ Superior
Harbor.— The com ract under ihe lateappr -
priatiou by Congress of §30,000, was on
the 15tli inst , let to M *s-rs i). Scliutte and
I’hompson Riteliie, of this place. Mst or
•his appropriation will be exp nded on the
Wiscon-in Point pier. The work is to b
| commenced by the loth of June and to h
completed before the close of this year, ex
cept the superstructure which may be fin
ished any time before June 1872.
Messrs. Schulte and Ritchie 'ire energet
ic business men, and the work could not
be in better hands. The firm have alrea ly
purchased a powerful tug, eng iged a large
number of men, and are arranging to com
mence work immediately. M -ss. Peyton &
Kimball, who have a contract under the
unexpended §30,000 for ex ten ling the Mi i- |
nesota Point pier, commenced work this
week ami expect to complete their contract
inside of two months.
The two piers will be far advanced to
wards completion the present year. The
well known ability of the contractors, and
their interest in Superior warrant this con-j
/.invt..** mi.,, it..;.-nmg 0 f the two lines of
piers from Minnesota and Wisconsin rouusj
respectively, will then demonstrate thecor-j
redness of the plans adapted by the Gov-j
eminent for the improvement, four harbor,
and the skill of the engineers who have
charge of the work. The tody and absurd -
ilies set forth by fhe minions who batten in
the favors of Jay Cooke and bis pet town,
and who pretend to speak about tilings ot j
widen they know nothing, will then be
made m uiifest. Superior is fortunate in
having Lieut. A. M. Miller, a graduate of
West Point, an accomplished Engineer
now residing here, who will superintend
and direct the work.
Leslie*’ illustrated of this month
e ■mains the following:
Flic recent conference of the European
powers on the Black Sea question, has de
cided among other things to prolong twelve
vears more, the tunciions of the European
commission for the improvement ot the
navigation of the Danube. This is a m li
ter of great commercial importance to all
nations. Some temporary construction
made in 18G1, consisting chiefly of two moles
or piers running out in thesea ;nd directing
the river current over the bar. Tne effect
of this was in a short time to sweep away
the banks of sand that had from time im
memorial proved such obstacles to tne nav
igation, and at times a most to bar the en
trance of sea going vessels, an i a good nav
igable channel from sixteen to seventeen
j feet in depth was obtained. Each ofthese
piers consisted ot three rows of piles in
i which the timbers of that on the sea side
: were close together surmounted by a plat
form whieb give the necessary rigidity to
| the structure. On eacli side of the close
| piling, stones were thrown in at random tip
to the water level, at which they have been
:in ii it lined tor tne last ten year, and thus
| settlements caused by heavy gales an 1 the
| scour of the river flood have been made
' good.
If we attempted to describe our own en
try and the piers thereat, the description
would be strictly truthful if couched in al
most the same language as above. The
piers that were built at the mouth of the
Danube, are exactly such as are being con
structed at our entry, and have been en
tirely successful i;i performing the woik
there, expected ot ours here.
W e have inspected the rut of the above
described cribs and entry of the Danube
into the sea, contained in Leslie’- Illustra
ted Mews of Miy 1871, and would be com
pelled to believe that it was a sketch of the
St. Louis river entry into the lake, were it
not for the difference in the surrounings,
and that the pier on the south side of the
river is curved, instea 1 of on the uor.h side
a-> it i- in on” entry. In the cut referred to,
Ihe norh pier was shown t> ! hive been
built almost directly across the bar at tlu;
mouth of the river, and the pier on the
■ south side running parallel and but a short
SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1871,
distance from it. The entire volume of wa
ter being confined to such a narrow pas
sage, had no difficulty in .thoroughly re
moving the bar and effectually scouring out
a deep channel and maintaining the same
permanently.
THE FUTURE OF WISCONSIN.
Within the memory of the living, Wisconsin was an
i extreme bordei state All beyond was unexplored
wilderness. The first hards pioneers were mingling
with the savages, and undergoing the privations of
earliest settlers. No roads were mad . The -'.cam
whistle was, as yet, hardly heard on the Atlantic
coast. Now. Wisconsin is scarcely to •* e
bonier. Railway:- si retell across tin* state in various
directions, and penetr .te vast regions beyond. One
! great national si earn highway extends to the Pacific
Ocean. Another is advancing rapidly to the same
destination. The Western border of the state hanih
reaches Hie central line of the continent. Along the
Mississippi, animated ail the summer with floating pal
ac s, new cities are springing into rapid life. Towns
everywhere are as full of comforts and luxuries as any
in ih ■ land. Lake Michigan on the east is white with
; the “ wings of commerce.” Milwaukee is already a
larger city than Boston was half a century ago Lake
j Superior, on the north, will soon eclipse the Gulf of
: M xieo in commercial importance. That inland sea 1
: w ill soon invite the trade of the “fartheicst East,’’ in j
connection with the great Northern Pacific, road. We |
j hold the central position between the Atlantic and the
; Pacific. Important navigable waters ae on three j
sides of us. On the other -idc, we are connected with
the greatest railway sy. tern in the United States. I
Our mdustri 3 are already becoming diversified We
are no longer simply a grain-producing state. The
stock growers of Wisconsin have an enviable reputa
tion. The products of our rapidly increasing dairies
compete in the market with the nest. We have a
■ mixed population of native Americans, Germans and
1 Scandinavians. Our people arc hardy, intelligent and
■ industrious. No state lias a better common school ,
| system. The d"bt of the commonwealth is small. Its !
population is increasing with a steady, healthy growth. I
The people arc noted for love of order, prudence and
economy Our citizens represent us worthily in com- 1
nierce and in the councils of the great nation.
No state in the Union is better situated for manu
t icturing than Wisconsin. Vast industries of this
kind ar • already springing into life. The raw materi
al of manufacture is produced in abundance or is near
at hand. Wool is grown within our borders and all
around. Colton is nearer to us than to Massachusetts.
Our forests are seemingly exhaustlcss. Excellent iron
o-e i.S not wanting. We have no coal for manufactur
ing, and we Jo not need it. We have the best water
power on the continent The Fox River, between
Lake Winnebago and Green Bav, affords power to
turn more mills than now exist between ilie two
oceans. In two score miles there is a steady fall of
one hundred and seventy feet. The water can be used
over ud over. A lake thirtv miles long and ton miles
wide affords a natural reservoir that hundreds of mil
lions could not build. It collects the copious streams
from the center of the state and sends them down the
long slope below, without the possibility of a flood ora
drought.
The Fox River from Neenah to Green Bav is worth a I
hundred Merrimacs. There are those now living who i
will..** the )yhn!e ( d i -tanei* of for tv miles almost, a cpn- 1
to say how many millions of feet of lumber are cut
every year in Wisconsin. This state is destined to
take the lead in manufacturing household furniture.
It will soon compete with Ohio in agricultural imple-1
meats. The cloths of its different woolen mills ar-. al
ready esteemed in market. Ladies regard the shawls
of Racine and Waukesha as equal to those of the Bay
State. The iron works of Milwaukee are among the
most important in the Northwest. Just as good loco
motive s are made hero as at Paterson, in New Jersey.
The future of Wisconsin is clearly that of manufac
ture, and her position will be one of proud preem
inence. —Milwaukee Sentiual.
Truk, Every Word of It.— Hon. A P.
S 'inetord. Representative from Marquette;
county at Lansing, in a speech in favor of
appropriating money to carry on the geo-1
logical survey, very truly sai i, in the course
of his remarks, that “it is a fact easy of
demonstration, beyond the po->ibUiiy of a
doubt, that no one political State ■>n the
fice of the earth can b >ast of iron and cop
per of the quality and in the same abun
dance as they are known to exist in oir
Upper Peninsula. And what miy n>t be
said of its location? Would it have been
possible to place it in a better position?
It lies in the very heart of the great Amer
ican continent—on the shores of ihe great
est fresh water sea in the world. Whoever,
shall write ihe mineral history of the world
one hundred years—-nay, a quarter of a
century lienee—will begi i with the Upper
PeniiiMifa of Michigan, as the greatest,
most important, most prosperous!”—Port
age Lake Gazette.
NORTHERN PACIFIC- iNGINEERING FEATURES.
We have heretolore adverted to the
progress anj prospects of this Road
To give a better idea ot the extent and
reach of its route and required out ays, we
present the following statistics:
Tne road is divided into six great sec
tions. 1. From L ike Superior to Yellow
stone River, 550 miles. 2 Along the Yel
loW'tone to Bozeman’s Piss, 420 aides.
3, Bozeman’s Pass to llellgate River,
M •uutain Division, 2J.5 miles. 4. lleilgat-*
River to Pen 1 d’Oreille Lake, 205 miles.
5, Pend d’Oreiiie Lake to the month ot
the Lewes River. (L Mouth ot Lewes
River to Puget Sound, Columbia Valley
Division, 37 7 miles. The estimated cost
I of building and equipping this roat 1 will be
$85,277,0t0, or an average of $42,638 per
per mde. The following table shows a
; summary of the item-< of the probable cost
i of construction and equipment:
Griding, masonry, bridging, track and
ballast $60.320,0''0

[Communicated.]
The Duluth Tt ibune of May 18ih in
:i stnsdess article <m the: ciiuil question,
1 says the allhl.ivhs or Col. Wheeler and
Houston ot the engineer corps contain
nothing hut nonsense and lies. Now when
sceli an abominable turncoat and unscni
| pilous wretch as the hirel : ng ot the Tr>-
htvie, has the audacity to even insinuate
tt lit men possessing ihe acknowle Iged eu
giivering ability of Col. J. B. Wheeler,
whi is chief of the United States Engineers
at a'hington, and om* of tne finest and
most practicable of his ■ /ofession in Amer
ica, tr else he would not occupy the posi
tion he is so eminently qualified to fill,
is a liar and also, Col. Houston, who is an
engineer of much renown and experience,
and idmitted to he one of the most skill
ful in the corps, and no hotter testimonial
of Ids proficiency could In* obtained, than
the ftet of his being at iho head of the
U. S. Engineers, stationed at Milwaukee,
is a no' ht, impudence is no name for it.
Both of the litter named gentlemen upon
oath, poit'veE dccl ired that the cutting
of the cmal at Dn nth would be the ruina
lion of tue (fOvcrnnient piers at the mouth
of Ihe St Louis river.
Capt. Cuylcr, tlie only gentleman
of'tlie corps who talks the least favorable
: of Du mb, in his report about the best ami
only practicable channel to the bay, says:
i“I am led therefore ;it the present, to pre
fer pushing forward rapidly in connection
with it, the present entry improvement
;a id the improvement to the channel of the
Bay of Superior up as far as Conner’s
Point.” Now it our Duluth enemies can
find anything solacing in that, they arc
welcome to enjoy it.
W hy do not the Duluth people pick up
a few more wandering subalterns to make
affidavits advising the cuttingof a canal and
totally ignoring the idea ot any damage
being done thereby to our entry. W e can
answer by simply stating that any person
acquainted with the first principles of en
gineering, scorn t.b'■ ' 1 ■* co,T, ip'-j
n.cir profession ui oucti 11011 utn- 1
tul depositions as some have stained their
cliaracters and ruined their reputations as
engineers by making. X.
Xever trust a man who assents to every
thing you say, who fails in with all your
views, without making any suggestion or
correc ion ot his own. A man who is an
incarnate “yes,” is either a fool or a knave.
Xor Legal. —Some time since it was an
nounced in these columns that Mr. Allis and
Capt. Davidson had taken legal steps to
contest the legality of the tax assessed to
pay the $200,0u0 bonds issued by this city,
payable o the Lake Superior & Mississippi
Itailroad. Judge Hail lias rendered a de
cision, the substance of which is that the
bonds are illegal, on the ground that the
city li id no authority to i.-sue such bonds.

Fish shooting is getting to be a favorite

shot 195 pickerel in two days, ten of which
weighed i 10 pounds, and killed seven at
