Description of the Towns and Country Along tho Line of Read. “On to Richmond.” A few miles run eest of Hudson, onllie West Wisconsin Kailroad, the [North Wisconsin Railroad is readied. Fifteen nr lea over the last mentioned road, and, though we left St. Paul after ten o’clock, the panting locomotive whirls our car by dinner time to NEW RICHMOND. This is the first town of any size l on the road, and the practical in itial point for the coming great thoroughfare. New Richmond has a prosperous population of about GOO, and since tho building of the road the town’s progress in growth and material prosperity has been rapid and substantial. The eflect lias been to greatly enhance the value of town property and stimu late the progress of the place. What is greatly needed in New Richmond is banking facilities, there not bring a bank of any kind in the village. There is a line opening for a business of this kind. A manufi c till ing establishment of some kind is much needed. Farming nia- 1 chinery can be manufactured at that point a$ cheaply as in any place in the west. Every facility is af forded fur an enterprise of this kind, as the requisite materia! is close at hand, and the p tronage would come from the immediate surround ing country. A good high school buil lirg is also much needed. '1 be limited number of poor educational institutions is a serious drawback to the competent teachers engaged, as they are minus the means to fa cilitate thrir undertakings. ST. CROIX COUNTY. From New Richmond I rode out through the country, visiting Erin Corners and Prairie, Jewett’s Mi.ls, Star Prairie and other settle meats of lems note. No county in the State possesses finer soil. There are no mountains or hills in the county; nothing but undulating prairie, beautiful table lands and rich bottoms in the valleys of the - streams and lakes. The building of the North Wis consin road has stimulated enter-! I prise, production, immigration, com merce, trade and business of all kind-. Ten years ago St. Croix County was but sparsely settled. To-day it has a pooulalion of over 15,00<); over 100,000 acres of land is under cultivation in grain, 70,000, or over being in wheat; 1(3,000 acres in oats and over 4,000 a res in corn. Apphs are raised in great abundance and reach a hardy matu rity ; grapes and plums are nowhere found belter. The inexhaustible fertility of soil, delightful climate and timber re sources, makes this county one of the most desirable in the State to settle in. The rich verdure of the | valleys, beauty of its magnificent prairies, undulating like the waves lof the sea, clothed in luxmiant fields of waving grain, the untilled hillside green with a raiment of grasses and spangled with an infi nite variety of fragrant and gorge ous flowers, are evidences of attrac tions and advantages unsurpassed by any oilier county in the Slate. There are some fifteen flouring mills in the county ; twenty-five or more post offices ; some half dozen newspapers, The total valua tion of the whole county will not fall far short of $5,000,000. To give our readers a faint idea of how thickly the county is popu lated and in what good circum stances the farmers are, I will state that there was a funeral a short time ago ot a most estimable lady, and I i ° ;am told that there were 162 con- veyances at the funeral. This turn out in a county,where ten years ago, not aVmgle buggy could be found is substantial evidence of the thrift and prosperity of the neighborhood, ur THE LIKE. From New north, up the line of road the country is prai rie, until we gradually work into scattering hardwood ridges with in tervening openings. Eighteen miles brought us to a dense hardwood grove, in the mid>l of which is sit uated SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1877. CLEAR LAKE. This settlement has one stave mill owned by a Minneapolis firm, wich employs eight men, a saw mill, a planing mill, several stores, two hotels and other places of business. CLAYTON. Six miles ride from our last stop, and 24 miles north ot Richmond, or 39 miles from West Wisconsin Junction, and Clayton, the end of the track, is reached. Here we found Ilumbird’s steam saw mill, with a capacity of 30 M. per day. One broom handle factory, ox yoke”"manufactory and shingle mill, and the town steadily growing. The Humbird House is a good hotel ; we were given a parlor bed-! room and fared as well as in houses; in well settled neighborhoods. The track is laid about two and one half miles iv rth of this point, and the i right of way is cleared for 19 miles' north of Clayton. The grading for j ten miles from end of track will be finished in two weeks, though the i contracted tune was Aug. Ist. Ten miles more will he let at once, which will make, when finished, twenty mdes of new road this year. This j will bring the end of the track next fall, in Township 37. Range 13, w. The road is substantially construe-! ted, there being really no bridge! work required so far. The average amount of earthwork has been less | than 12,000 cm yds. to the mile, and no where does the grade ex ceed forty feet, while a three degree curve is the greatest. To a practic ical man this is at once convincing that the route is a feasible one, and when the rich country through which the road passes and opens up is taken into consideration, it must assuredly be a paying one. GENERAL NOTES. Standing al the end ot the track in the grand old forests of mighty pine, huge oak and basswood, one can almost imagine be bears the j murmur of Old Lake Superior's wa ters dashing against its shores. ! 45 illi the iDivil completed, it ia only ; a few hours ride from where be stands to the great water outlet lit smgs w itb Whitter : •‘I hoar the far off voyager’s horn ; I see the Yankee’s trail — Hi- foot on every mountain pass, On every stream h s sail.” Ves, he imagines he can hear the “voyager’s horn,” a sound familiar to all old Lake Superior residents. 1 The “trail” points him toward the lake—the distance seems but a step, —and it taken, be could reach the Lake and see the “fail.” The dis tance through to Superior Bay and Ashland Bay is only about seventy | miles, and as the trunkline contem plates a branch line to each bay, to comply with its charter and land grant, we can stand on the shores of either bay and again sing with the poet Whitter; “Behind the seared squaw’s birch canoe, The steamer sin kes and raves, And Citv lots a:e staked for sale Above old Indian grates ” “The rudiments of Empire hi re Are plastic yet and warm ; The chaos of a mighty world Is rounding into form.” PERSONAL NOTES. To Mr. M. L. Avert and his most estimable wife arn I greatly in debted for many ads of kindness. I was given all the comforts of a home, and no pains were spared to make my stay pleasant. I owe my knowledge gained of the country; around Richmond to Mr. Avery and bis generosity in furnishing livery. Avery says he baa put up ice in July, shoveled snow in August, and bored through 19 feet of frost for post holes in September, when he lived on Lake Superior ; but he says it used to be colder than now, because the isothermal line was not discovered then, nor was Jay Cooke’s banana belt heard of. I bad the pleasure of meeting Frank W. Bartlett and lady. Mr. I>. is an old Lake Superior man and knows all about being a free bolder on the hyperborean shores of old Gi’cheo Gunrnee. To Abe Van Meter, Esq., Editor of St. Croix Republican, am I un der obligations for items of interest, about the number of papers, post offices, flouring mills, ifcc. I * would have never known about their being live millinery shops in Richmond either, omy for him. But there are, and all seem to carry a good stock of goods. The fann ers wives are their best customers, as the “city folks” send to St. Paul for their fashions. Col. J. B. G. Roberts, Chief En gineer of the North W isconsin gave me much information. T. B. Sitting Bull. — Mr. Geo. R. Bell, an old time Superior boy, arrived at Duluth this week direct from Her Majesty’s possessions in the Northwest, where he has for eome lime past occupied a civil position in the Canadian mounted police. Mr. 1 Jell lately spent several days in the camp of the noted Indian Chief, Sitting Bull, which is located a short distance beyond the boundary line north of Fort Benton. Mr. Bell says that Sitting Bull has but a handful of active followers, that he has many horses, rifles, swords and other trophies of the Custer fight; that the Indians are well armed but have no ammunition and cr n obtain none from the Canadians ; that Sitting Bull declares he is tired of war and wants to be “let alone.” Mr, Bell describes Sitting Bull as a large sized, stolid looking, full blooded Indian—not a half-breed as many supjio.se—very intelligent, ap parently understanding every word of English sjioken, but, Indian-like, seldom uttering a word himself in that language. The Canadian government keeps a force of three hundred men, known as m unted police, constant ly employed guarding its interests and maintaining the jieace in its Indian country. These men are kept continually patroliug the coun try in all directions, in squads .of ten or a dozen, and perform most effective service. They prevent un licensed trading, the introduction of whiskey, fire arms or ammunition among the Indians, arrest, punjsh or expel all suspicious characers, and in general zealously guard the peace and dignity of Her Majesty’ B com monwealth. TANARUS! es three hundred men show better results for their ef forts than our whole army now ojd < rating in the Indian country. C. W. Norton, of Detroit, re cently chartered the schooner C, G. Breed to take a cargo of lumber from Alpena to Great Britian. The freight amounts to SO,OOO gold, which is said to be the largest ever paid to a lake vessel. A clergyman recently called up on a sick man and tenderly asked, “Are you afraid to die ?” “No,” replied the stiff rer. I’m only afraid if I do the old women will go shoot ing among my private papers the first thing. ’’ Not one of the war maps shows any trees for the officers to crawl behind, and that makes the antici pated battle grounds look strange and unnatural. Ask any old soldier if this isn’t so.— St. Louis Journal. From the Fargo Times, June 9 th. Nobody, anywhere, at any time, ever saw grain looking better than it does now in this vicinity. At least so everybody says who sees it, and what everybody says mu t be so. There were 118 money orders amounting to $2,637.83 issued at the Fargo Postoffice during the mouth of Max'. Number paid du ring the same time was 29, amount ing to 51,051.0 4. Business at the Fargo Land Of fice continues lively. During the month of May there xvere 90 pre emption, 27 timber culture aud 23 homestead entries made, aggrega ting 21,350 acres. Immigration continues to pour into this part of the country in a steady stream. Net a day passes but from one to a dozen “prairie schooners” sail into Fargo and drop anchor, or go on to the Sheyenne, Maple, Rush or Goose River. On j Wednesday IS teams passed through bore from Fayette County, * lowa, bound tor Goose River, where they have acquaintances living. This paity had 40 of the best horses ! that we have seen brought into the country. A Curious Fact. Take a map of the United States, place its eastern and Western edges together, and fold it; and then double it from north to south ; open the map, the folds have crossed eacli other near Fort Riley, Do it \ ourself and Ton will know that Kansas is the center and heart of America. It is a curious coinci dence, that the routes of the first explorers, and the folds made by the map all cross at the same point. The Kansas Pacific Rail road passes through the diminished reserve of Fort Riley. To such advantage of situa tion, are added a soil of unsurpassed rich ness, and a fascinating, undulating beauty of of surface, with a health giving climate, cal culated to nurture a powerful and generous people, worthy to be a central pivot of Amer ican institutions. A few short years only have passed since this spacious Mediterranean country was open only to the savage, who ran wild in its woods and prairies ; and now, it has drawn to its bosom a population of freemen larger than Athens, crowded with her historic gates, when her sons, under Miltiadcs, won liberty for mankind on the field of Marathon; more than Fparta con tained when she ruled Greece and sent forth her devoted children, quickened by a moth ers benediction, to return with their shields or on them ; mere than Rome gathered on her seven lulls, when under her kings she commenced that sovereign sway which after wards embraced the whole earth ; more than London held, when on the fields of Crecv and Agincourt, the English banner was carried victoriously over the chivalrous hosts of France. The Kansas Pacific owns and has for sale a large number of acres of very de sirable land, in the vicinity of Fort Riley, principally rolling prairie, with soil deep and rich, and on easy terms—the Junction City and Fort Kearney Railroad connects with the Kansas Pacific Railway at Junction City —a short distance fiom Fort Riley. This region presents many attractions. S. J. Gilmore, Land Commissioner, Saliua, Kansas, will send you full particulars. War Maps. Schcdlor’s Topographical Map of the Dobrudsha (Eastern Bulgaria), Centra! Routnania, and Bessarabia, —the valley of the Lower Danube from the Transylvania Mountains in the North to the great Balkan Mountains in the South, *nd from Sistova in the West to the mouths of the Danube in the East. Colored, 1 : 600,000. Slue, 23x24 inches, Price, folded and in cover, $0.40. This is the best and most complete Map of this important section of coun ry, yet issued. It has been prepared with great care and with a view to minute accuracy, giving the location not only of all cities and towns, but also of almost all the villages; railroads and bighv. ays are distinctly shown, while many, even, of the less important roads are indicated. The lakes, lagoons, swamps, and marshes of this region which will prove of great impor tance in the military movements, are given, and the map is also very accurate and reli able in regard to all water-courses, as well as to mountains, bills, etc. This Map is, in fact, so faithful as to de tail that it might be safely used by officers in the field. It will, therefore, bo of great value to all who desire to trace the move ments of the opposing forces and minutely. These remarks apply also to the following Map. viz.: Schedlcr's Topographical Map of Western Bulgaria, Western Roumania, and Eastern Scrvia. —Colored, Scale, 1 : 600,000. Size, 23x24 inches. Price, folded and in cover, $0 40. Both these Maps are drawn in the same style and on the same scale ; they fit into each other so closely that, united, they form one large map of Roumania, Bulgaria, etc., that is, the valley of the Lower Danube from Milanovatz and the “Iron Gate” to the Black Sea. S:z>, 25x44 inches.—This combined Map presents, at one view, the principal scene of the contest between the Russian and the Turkish armies. Published by E. Steiger, 25 Sc 24 Frank fort Street, New York, by whom copies will be promptly mailed upon receipt of price. The same pabli.-hers will keep the market fully supplied with all other War Maps that may be needed, and which we expect to men tion in these columns. In the Sweet By-and-By—Can not but b the happy thought as the fortunate recipient of the “Rocky Mountain Tourist” scans its won derfully attractive passes aud peruses a fascinating descriptions. Mostit beautifully embellished with new and highly artistic engravings, its letter-press a model of typographical holiness and the arrangement throughout simply superb, the Rocky Mountain Tourist is worthy of comparison with Picturesque America or Tee Aldine. It is writ ten in gossipy, graphic style, cover ing details of the tour through the garden of the Southwest (the Arkansas Valley', Southern Kansas), to the very heart of the Alps of America—the Rocky Mountains. Jaunts are made to all toe famous resorts of Colorado, the remarkable ruins, the springs, the mines, and in short, to every point of interest to tourist, agriculturist, capitalist, miner and invalid. With the Tour ist, the San Juan Guide keeps fit ting company, and the two publica tions are mailed free to ail writing for one or both to T. J. Anderson, Topeka, Kansas. NUMBER 39.
