THE FLOOD TIDE OF SUCCESS.
When a man is trying to help himself he
is more apt to receive the help of others
than at any other time. There is some
thing contagious in real effort, and it is just
as true in the matter of developing a town
as in any thing else. From this point of
view alone, without taking extraneous mat
ters mio consideration at all, there is no
little sat Ufa lion in regarding the deter
mined attiui ie of some of our principal cil
./.ens with reference to permanent work for
the place, 1 nere i- not so much a preju
dice for or against particular parties, as a
fixed resolution to lay the foundations this
season for a definite ami genuine advance
in o ir prosperity, within the next eighteen
moii t hs,
We cannot indeed deny that some pre
jud'Ces may exist even in the minds ot some
of our cnief workers, but this is amply
counterbalanced by the* fact that many
others of our citizens as able and influential,
arc i leasurably unprejudiced and will be
found at once supporting any Uve, practical
business scheme from any source, while they
will be countenanced in tins matter by the
mass of our citizens who have no issues to
make with their own legitimate interest and
prosperity, hut will at once renounce any
scheme seen to be merely speculative, for
any business measures proposed by respon
sible business men.
\Vc know what we are saying when wc
aflirm that the people of this town are read}
now, to do all that can right.y be required
<>l them to endorse any practical movement
among our non-resident property owners,
and we are glad to see the wide-awake in
terest which some of them arc taking in our
affairs thus early in the season.
W e propose to make this a workt g y*. a ,
and with continued eucouragetueol on me
part of non residents, we shall be a! e t
effect results this season that will be p r
maneut in their nature, and afford a broad
foundation on which we may build at once
There are tides in the affairs of men that
taken at the flood lead on to fortune. One
of these waves of prosperity is now rising
about us. Let our property owners launch
forth upon it confidently.
A common interest is reason enough for
dropping all minor issues. We have dune
a good deal ot negative work and done it
effectually. Negative work >: sometimes
necessary, but positive efforts are needed
the most this season, and it is with hearty
satisfaction we record the signs of the tunes
in this direction as extremely encouraging.
We have full confidence that our large
minded, clear headed woikers will be found
equal to the propitious occasion.
THE SUPERIOR HARBOR CONTEST..
The importance ot the harbor at Super! >r,
the to State of Wisconsin, is derived from
the fact that it is the first lodgment on the
Northern Pacific railroad at the head ot
Lake {Superior; while it is seven miles far
f her cast than Duluth; it being twenty-seven
mih's from tile Junction of the Si. Paul an i
Lake Superior with the N P. railroad, to
Duluth, over heavy grades and sharp
curves, while from the same Junction to
S ipenor it is twenty-three miles of direct
line and light grades.
The temporary lodgment being at Duluth
I>y using 27 miles of the St. Paid road,
stimulates the Depot owners to use evt ry
means in their power, to ren ler the Superior
barb >r by artificial appliances solely ava 1-
able to Duluth, and it possible retard if not
destroy, the Government works at the nat
ural entry.
Hy some sort of management but >40,-
000 wore appropriated in 1869-70, and last
winter the appropriation was not only op
posed, hut in llie hist hours ul the session
sixty thousand dollars were I.listed into a
bill, trom no committee, recommendation
nor previous survev or estimates, for the
Duluth harbor improvement. It is not
charged that .1. Cooke had any agency 1::
this s.irt of legislation, tor the railroad and
land ring at Duluth openly assert their all
powerful influence through the (.treat Amer
ican Financier.
'The theory, plan and design ot the W ar
Depart men is engineers, as set tort ii in im-ir
affidavits to enjoin tlie Duluth t anal, is to
so restrict the mouth ot the S>t. Louis river
by parallel cribs, as to abrade and keep pen
the entry by force ot all the river wa er.
The defend nuts’ affidavit* attempt to
show no difference of level between the
Lake and Kiver, seven miles above the
mouth of the latter; that Minnesota Point
is a porous mass through which the Lake
an i River waters freely percolate and that
all thi* opposition to the cut-off comes from
the envy ami malice ot Superior.

tli:m vindicate their averments, and most
signally impeach their opponents.
Hut first, as to the envy of Superior: the
j tact i> patent, that among the active oppo
nents ot the canal are citizens of Duluth,
ami Minnesota who own vastly more pro
perty there than the whole land ring, who
tor but a brief peri-.d l ave control of ihe
harbor fallacy, and are squandering tin
corporate credit.
ih it the Government engineers know
their business, we give the results of a sur
vey on the Merrimac River [U. S. Coast
Survey 1807 pp 170 &e.] where the text
tables and drawings in appendix, disclose a
, state of facts identical with the St. Louis
river in question. Here we have a table
and profile, giving distance, shape of bot
tom, faii and velocity of water, and the re
sult is “For period near time of Irgh [tide]
1 “water we found a velocity of !. 90 nauti
“cal miles per hour, corresponding to a
“ slope of 0. rl feet per 1000; at period near
“low water a mean velocity ot 2 9 nau ieal
“ miles with a slope of 2.1 feet per 1000,”
This normal state -f the river docs not lake
in’o account the rise and fall of the river
supply. The depth ot the river under the
observed surface is from ten to fifteen feet ;
and nowhere narrower than the St. Louis
at Lice’s Point, nor near so narrow as be
tween Minnesota and Wisconsin Points.
The nom al fall as above stated, gives the
elevation of the water surface at Rice’s
Point, five and a half miles from our entry,
the head which scoured out the Duluth Ca
nal where the water had but one and a half
miles to flow.
But the crowning testimony against the
defendants is the catching them in their
o?rn steal-trap. They have chafed and won-1
ler-d why tin injiinetioual order entered 1
2lt May wis ot immediately served upon
t tu rn. Mean time they have dug and delv
e i. fimght the Lake breaker action, enlarg- '
ed the opening, chucked in their cribs and
almost daily sent to the old entry, measured
the water on the bar and ascertained the j
fact that there is scarcely seven feet sound-;
ings. Testimony to this effect they are
carefully nursing to show to the Court the
worthlessness of the shallow natural entry,
and the absolute necessity ot commerce for
the Duluth cut-off. But these are the facts
developed; that before the opening ot the
cut-off, when the Lake was five inches lower
than it now is, the Arctic passed out in nine ,
feet water over the bar; since the opening
of the cut-off the river waters have rushed
out, and tlie want of its force at the entry,
lias resulted in the daily increase of the bar
so that there now is scarcely seven and a!
halt feet, an absolute accretion of twenty-!
three inches upon the bar by reason of the
loss of water through the Duluth canal
The percolation sworn to by the Defen
dent's engineers, is proved a myth from ihe
tact that now the mud end of the bay at the
c inal has two feet water than before
the canal was breached through.
A NEW PHASE IN IKE INJUNCTION PROCEED
INGS.
Information was received at this place i
yesterday, that the U. S. Attorney General
at the request ot the Secretary of War, has
instructed Mr. Davis, U. S. District Alter-1
in v at St. Paul, to consent to a suspension |
of t’ne injunction against the Duluth canal,
on condition that the City of Duluth will;
give I) uids in t lie sum of §IUO,OOO to com-!
plete a d\ke across the bay between Rice's j
Point and Minnesota Point, on or before I
the first day of December next. If this in- 1
form i ion is true, it remains now for the!
Slate of Wisconsin to act on its own behalf, |
assert its own rights, and commence pro-i
ceedings through Attorneys whose manage-)
mentofthe case, will be dictated by the j
Stale, and not by the departmental officers
The construction of a dyke would be an i
outrage no less flagrant titan the excavation
lof a canal, it would be an obstruction of
the free navigation of our bay, not justified
by any proper commercial exigency. Wis
consin and Superior, as well as Minnesota
and Duluth, are interested in this matter,
and it is to be regretted that the represent
atives of the former were not admitted to
b heard, upon the application made on
be. iali ot the latter at Washington, which
Ins resulted in so grave a change in tlie
Government's course of action. So long as
the case was in the hands of an enlightened
and impartial judicial tribunal to be dis
posed of on it-' merits, in a proceeding in
which both sides should be heard, we had
n > misgivings as to the result. The end is
not yet.

ANOTHER INTERESTING LETTER FROM
REV. \V. R. JUGGINS.
Chicago, June 3d, IS7I.
Editor Superior Times:
Dear Sir : After my previous long letters I had not
thought to bother you with any further correspon
dence, hut having a leisure iiour on this my last day
in the city, I cannot resist the temptation to gather
up a lew fragments of notions and experiences incident
to my stay in Chicago, even at the risk of being unin
teresting to all save a few personal friends.
During the greater part of my sojourn here I have
been pleasantly entertained at the home of J. 11. Hul
burd Esq , 26S Park Avenue. Mr. ii. is of the finn of
Ilulburd, Herrick and Cos., Diß Randolph Street, deal
ers in hardware and cutlery, and if he treats his cus
tomers as kindly as hiscuesta, which I certainly have
no rcaso to doubt, he must eventually build up a
great trade in this busy city. Mr. Ilulburd is a rela
tive of Mrs. 11. C. Mitchell of Duluth, through whose
kind mother 1 received the special invitation and in
troduction which made me a guest during the busy
session of the Assembly in this pleasant Christian
family circle.
During my stay with Mr. 11., I found acquaintances
in the neighborhood; Mrs. Glen Wood, 243 Park Av
enue, wife of the well known Chicago Agtnt of the
American Tract Society. Also Mr. J. A. McHenry
and family, friends known and loved in other days.
At the close of the Assembly I was discovered by rel
atives whom I did not know were in the city, but who
have been for some six months residing on Michigan
Avenue south side. I was aware of the fact that an
other family of near relatives made th> it- m■ in Chi
cago, as they had specially invited me, but was nut
able to ascertain their exact whereabouts in this mod
ern Babel, until a late day of the session. Perhaps it
was as well that this was so for the time, as the As
sembly assuredly hft its delegates no time for the vis
iting and sight-seeing, which the company of near
friends very naturally suggests.
However since the session which expired Wednesday
noon, I have spent several days in my friends’ society
“doing’! Chicago, and enjoying life as a visitor merely.
We roue out yesterday to the water works, and viewed
the tireless arms of slot-1 and steam that are forcing
tlie pure waters of Lake Michigan into the houses of
300,n00 people. By the way there is much complaint
at the present time of the shortness of this supply, and
another huge engine is about going up to increase the |
amount. This will give three immense steam pumps
in constant working, with one in reserve in case of
accident. This enterprise of supplying the citv with
■ wholesome pure w ater, is perhaps the most important
in which Chicago lias engaged, as it secures th** health
of the inhabitants, the good report of the city, its
consequent attractiveness to incoming population, and
the assurance of steady growth and success.
Leaving the water works we drove through one of
the principal thoroughfares in the North Side, admir
| ing the handsome residences; among others the man
| sum of Wm. B. Ogden, the western railway king.
| Rapidly bowling alo: g the Ike side, we enjoyed the
i balmy air, the marine view with distant emir xi-ating
over the emerald expanse under a sky of haze and
azure, and the long line of coal cloud streaming after
the fleettgg ) or majestic propellers hound for Sarnia,
or what not.
Soon were in Li* coin Park, a miniature edition
of Cen The swans enjoying themselves per
haps m>re than even the contented humanity that
strolled lolled through the avenues and glades
One jollf swim swimming close to the grassy marge of
the the shining hours of the June after
noon in stretching his long neck here and there to
nibble cloice blades of grass, as though Chicago w ere
the centjo of the world, the Park the centre of Chica
go, and he and his enjoyments the central reason of
the exAence of the Park.
C\- windnvg Vnidway, cnjrtymg
vistas of handsome landscape, until unexpectedly the
lake came into view with most pleasing effect. A de
lightful perfume that seemed to cling to a rustic arbor
we passed, and which a lady of our party attributed
to the seringo, we were informed by an evening paper
came from the wild grape vine, an opinion which the
reporter backed by a quotation from Solomon’s Song.
Union Park, a pretty bit of living green in the heart
ol the West Side, [ became quite well acquainted with
while staying on Park Avenue a few blocks beyond it.
Returning from Lincoln we rode up Michigan Ave
nue and out to Cottage Grove and the Boulevard.
Fast horses and fast drivers swept by ns, occasionally
racing with each other. (Hie buggy we passed had
ju.-t experienced the wreck of matter and crush of
whirls.
And what do I think of Chicago? Much every way.
Ou foot, in street cars, ’bus, and carnage 1 have ex
plored its length and breadth. No Chicagoan need
bear blame for boasting. It is an exceeding great
city; a city of great enterprise, of magnificent resi
dences, of .immense proportions. No candid visitor
can see what Chicago has done, and is doing, and re
member its favored location with relercnce to the
Groat West, that has scarcely begun to be settled and
cultivated comparatively speaking, without feeling as
1 feel, that it has a future before it in the coming j
years that its warmest partizans scarcely realize. It
may seem an exaggerated judgment, but to me it
seems a sober one. I see the numberless railways
converging here; the capital attracted hither; tlie
splendid blocks continually going up only to be oecu- j
pied at once; the sustained price of real estate on the :
outer verge of the city, miles from its swarming cen
tre; the hurried, restless tramp, cl.liter, whir, whistle
and hum that speaks of a business too great for its ac
commodations; and Uie garden soil tributary for hun
dreds of miles in every direction that will yet be one
immense farm, and pour its produce into Chicago, and
draw its supplies of all kinds from Chicago—and see
ing all this i am fain to cease accustomed smiles at
Chicago boasting, and realize that I am looking upon
a future New York, and a city of coming millions.
Anuiow Mr. Editor I must stop once for all even
if you are long suffering enough to print this. I have
no time to tell of the excitement about Mr. Cheney
aid Bishop Whitehouse although I am in the midst of
it tlie good cousin at whose house I stop being a
warm partizan of that pow famous young clergyman,
aiid connected with his congr* gation. There are two
lair sides to the question, and my readers may take
their choice. Some good men uphold Mr. Cheney.
Dr Tyng preaches for him to-morrow, administering
tht communion 1 believe. It would be interesting to
stay and witness the curious or excited demeanor per
haps of his large auditory. But I must hie away fiom
the city to-night, hasten through my Indiana visit,
and soon return to my congregation at Superior, that
are now without their bishop, having kindly refused
to excommunicate him in spite of his many “ omissions
and commissions;” even two commissions to the Gen
eral Assembly and three months omission of preaching.
Truly yours, W. R. 11.
P. S.: I must say that I have reformed my ideas in
reference to the wickedness of Chicago above all other
cities. Ii has perhaps more churches, mission schools,
and Christian effort in proportion than the majority
of American cities. Other impressions are only de
rived from the massive filth prominently thrust before
the public, by two or three godless Chicago daily
reporters.
Mb. W. W. Corcoran, who, we are glad
to learn is recovering from his late illness,
ha- done very noble things for Washington
(Jit> and vicinity, chief among which are
the picturesque “ Oak Hill Cemetery” at
Georgetown; the “Louise Hume,” a fine
edifice for the accommodation of poverty
s ricken gentlewomen; the “Surgical Hdl”
of Columbian College, and the magnificent
Art G dlcry opposite the War Department.
This gallery is to contain his private collec

Interest Law.—The Legislature has
amended the law regulating the rate of in

takes a greater amount of interest than the
rate prescribed by law. he shall forfeit tiie
usurious part only. Under the law as it
was before the amendment, usury worked a
forfeiture of the whole sum loaiu-d.
