THE NEW ERA.
Railroad enterprises in Northern Wiscon
sin and around the head of Lake Snj rimy
were mooted at a period s early, an-1 no
seasonable —that is at a period o far m r.d
-
mamls of the Northwest —that their failure
for a time was a necessary consequence.
Out of nothing, nothing comes. And so
costly an affair as a railroad ran t have
enough carrying trade to justify its con
struction.
Chief among these enterprises of an early
day in the Northwest was a projected run
way from Hudson, WD., to the i:
Rake Sup and . ind 1 t > ■mi
Mississippi and St. Croix valu.-ys wild tlm
gvea' route of the Lakes. Thru was :ft
ward made to inch: \ hr.sue. i ■ A< : .
. and thus the whole ] opulation oil l e‘
northern lake border of Wisconsin ! ...d ' ;Nr
attention directed to the S r.ili u. the . r
tcr from w hich their pros;., rity :. o and
come. In fact the hopes and t p-etntl
of the Wisconsin towns on Lake Stq
were year
Hudson road, th.atits pro peels became th
measure of their pr eels, and th wlai-. r
of their discontent abated or inc rcas. 1
the probabilities of actual wore, uv- u ihc
road were strength-.-ned or dm;i nod. and.
In the absence of any bush ;- re r
for building the road, it became the spur:
of speculation, and for nearly fifteen yi ar.-
was bandied back and forth h) tin b ttle-i
dores of confiictirg interest--. But ibis
though sport to the >pecm-tors was “and atlf
to our immediate prospects. 1, ; • i
made the upper lake communities of Wis
consin heartily sick of the word railroad,"
and that large number, who in every com
munity arc governed more by impulse th n
reason, gradually imbibed a large share of
incredulity as to the su cess of any railroad
measures whatever in tills quarter.
But this feeling of late lias been as base
less and unreasonable, as were the extrava
gant hopes and project s of a doca le and a
half ago. The rapid settlement of the re-'
gion south, and wed; the. development of
the Minnesota railway system; the prelec
tion and commencement of transcontinental
railways, of which tue grandest, actually
commences but 25 miles west oi us, ad toll
us of anew era on Lake Superior, and in
Northern Wisconsin. j
And now, as if to convince the most skep
tical of the entire I}' 1 }' changed conditions un
der which this whole region is advancing
to an immediate and wonderful prosp rby,
we see even the long delayed Hudson &
Superior R. R. taking a step in advance
. that is has never 1 then before. It pa-ses
into the hau of the 1 men
of the most enterprising cities of the A e.-R.
We se< ■ active measures in augural*. 1 even
at this late time in the year. Bonds un
called for and promptly vote 1 by towns
interested; the iron Is ordered at once; We
grading is rapidly being complct -1 and ties
put down on the first section ot twenty
miles, and the trade will he laid for that
distance before the wow flies.

■IOV/ EAILKOAD BU: I NESS 13 DONE AT SAINT |
CLOUD.
Tiio city of St. Cloud, Minn., has long
been considered by the people of Superior
ns in Uiunv resneots a companion an tl ally j
in the waiting and working for better times.
And conse pientiy we are glad to record
that a late railroad enterprise heartily en
tered into by the citizens of St. Cloud, lias
met with gratifying success.
It appears that on Thursday, August 31,
tho M. yor of hi. Cloud with the Railroad
(Am; iittec of the City Council visited Mon.
sco. L. Tg-. ker. Fresh lent of tho St, Pe.nl
A Pacific R. R. to aset-rt .in w hat encour
agement St. Cloud would receive toward
making it the interest of the St. 15,I 5 , cc P. to
cross the Mississippi and establish a depot
at that place. Mr. Becker encouraged them
to work the matter up, and tho Mayor and
party returned home to put affairs in shape
early enough for the action of the Xonhern
Pacino Directors on the 12th. of Sept. The
council was convened on the Ist of that
month, and called a meeting of the citizens
for Saturday Sept. 2nd. The citizens meet
ing promptly and unitedly adopted forcible
resolutions, and appointed a competent busi
ness committee to act in unison with the'
Committee of the Council in perfecting the
arrangements for bringing the St. P. A P.
through the city. On Tu . lay S nt. 5 the
representatives of the road were on hand
conferring with these coir .mttces, and in
specting the ground. A satisfactory prop
osition was offered and received, the snb
stance of which was a donation of the right
of way; depot ground not exceeding twen
ty acres; and city bonds to the amount of
055,000.
Jt was of course in due time laid before
the Northern Pacific Directors, since* which
but little was heard of the matter til! it was
telegraphed from New 1 ■ ■ k to St. Paul on
the 20th of Sept, that DeGralV & Cos. of
St. Paul had. contracted to construct the
iitie from St. Cloud to Pemoina about 350;
miles, to be completed before January 1,1
i 73. So by this time next year St. Cloud |
will probably bo enjoying the fruits of her I
wise and prompt action, iot if she bad ,
faded entirely it would not have been her
fault, and all the work from beginning to
end as f • • as St. Cloud was concerned, was
accomplished in six days. Her citix is
wisely united as though of one opinion and
one interest till they had secured their rail
road. And that is the way to do. No
other course will bene lit a place in six day.-.-,
.or si-' 3 ars, sixty years.
There is something for other towns to
learn in the spirit and busimw compact
ness of the resolutions adopted by the cili
mei ; ng. They were but four. The
; first spoke of the question of obtaining the
railroad ■
uul ple< rl t ire it.
The third, urged -.mion an 1 , action. T’u
fourth caiie 1 t bi a comsiiittee to act.
A part of the third resolution, aid cx-1
tract - irom tlie Mayor’s
quotin.r since they apply to other places as!
well :.s St. Ch-nd, The resolution reads: j
Resolved, That we doom a dilatory and vacillating)
policy, at this crisis, detrimental to tie- best inter. -Is:
..T the citv, and we urge e;.-n all good citizens the no- 1
v> ,-;tv of united, harmonious and energetic action. |
T:uj 'Mayor in the course ot* Ills remarks j
said; j
St. Cloud V.l it now within her power to secure all l
’ ch: A w i died and bop- and for, through long years of.
I iribulet >■ o nee could overestimate the import*

v- r.urious poli- v would be suicidal : we must not only
’ i :*v* ’ , ;. harmony, but energy end celerity, in
j whatever vvc g>.
An objection it scorns was made to the
wordme; oi tlie to si. .csoiiitdoif.

tVs foldings, on the subject under consideration, .Mr.
Ik ckcr and tlu- Company know, quite us veil
as wo hi re know, the importance to Ist. Cloud of the
work they propose; we can certainly lose nothing in
>a, by i y
to 1 the fact. What St. Clou 1 has to fear
is apathy and internal dissuntion, not out-spoken and
.
After this pointed speech the resolutions
wire carried without a single opposing
vote. And for such prompt united work
St. Cloud deserves tho success she has at
tained.
With such work Superior will succeed
after her “long years of tribulation.” And
we may say with the Mayor, “ what Supe
rior lias to fear is apathy and internal dis
twnSion, not out-spoken ;;:m. uv R e- g .Na
tion to secure our ends.” But while every
city and village in the Northw* -t is making
ready for its share of tho coming harvest
of prosperity, we cannot behove that Su
perior will delay another month in view of
the lino opportunity she now has to build
her first railroad.

This table would go to prove incidentally
that railways increase their earnings more
rapidly in proportion to their acting as trib
utaries to Lake routes. Compare the Tol.
Wab. A West, running from St. Louis to
bake Erie, with the Ohio & Mississippi
miming from iSt. Louis inland. Compare
th- latter also with Chic. & Alton running
from St. Louis to Lake Michigan. And
note the short Mich. Central between two
Lake routes increasing its earnings more
rapidly than Union & Central Pacific com
bined.

until at last on Tue .-lay after no ,n it ceased
for want of fuel. The horrors of the Ik e
were of course indescribable. The knowl
edge that the city was doomed; the power-
Icssness of effort; the appalling glare and
roar of the flames; the swbiaess of their
approach; the constant explosion.; the
outcries; the falling wails; the rescue of
tho sick, the children, tho helpless; tin
yjng too nd fro ..
sands, pale, bewildered and frantic; the
loss of tho savings or accumulations of a
life time; the uncertainty where to pro,
what to do, whom to trust, how to got the
necessaries of life; all this and a ihousan ’
parti mlars
iLy of the scene cu that first wtTd id.,]-;
b ggars description.
I n.t those who have over been familiar
with the majestic buildings that towered
with one continued palace Lout along the
business streets of Chicago, can imn (un
til at they must have looked down on wild
tion that night, as the insatiable
flame whirled toward them, and the im
mense multitude surged along in advance.
Tho destruction of property has been t li
mated at several hundreds of millions. Thu
: trn ider: I tima j i ~. .; .
two and three hundred millions, an incal
culable sum of money lo the ordinary mind.
Gloomy forecasts of the financial future
of the country have bt xi indulged in by
leading newspapers in speculating upon the
results of the con Ay-ration. Wall y i. will
its us
of fear.
But the latest news from Chicago is
more encouraging than the earlier reports.
Many of the banks have found their treas
ure uninjured, and have resumed bur-in esc..;
• ewspaper men are a< ;ain pul Li filing
their papers, the Journal, Post, Tribune an 1
others among them. Some of the eastern
insurance companies, at one time thought
ruined, expect to pay tin. ir quota. The
saved abstracts of title wifi save the doe.ls.
The express companies arc all right. Perm
of the elevators and depots escape :. ninny
important papers were rescued. ih.vl,
Loiter & Cos., and J. V. Fnrwe 1 A v.-.
with other leading business bouses have
already resumed business. Pass eg rs and
freight now make the usual connections.
Om engine of the water works will be g)-
ing in a week. The Chamber of Co:amerce
i
| and many important buildings are to be
rebu ill immedi ate 1 y.
And it would seem that in this ago o i
lightning decision, and railroad work, even |
so huge and overwhelming a calamity as ;
that at Chicago may bo repaired. It is a|
accessary centre of trade in its location; |
the business qualities of its merchants com- j
maud all confidence and any amomil cl
Civd.it, in the country, an i -c will the i:;

which insures that fact, may and si h.
