Northern Route to Oregon.
To the Editor ofthe Minnesota Pioneer

To the Editor of The Minnesota Pioneer:
At this season. while many persons are about
starting for Oregon, the writer of this deems it
proper TO state, that there is a route by way of
St. Paul and the Selkrk Settlement, which has
many advantages over any one now travelled.
First 1t is cheaper and the distance less, and
not more hazardous than by way Of independence
and Salt Lake. The only articles required for an
outfit will be horse, saddle and bride, one gun
either double-barreI towing piece. or rifle
canis,ers of powder, and ball and shot in proper
ton, to each person. As TO clothing---a pair of
buckskn pantalcons, two pair of moccasins, and
two flannel shirts, one horse and one Maekiuaw
blanket for each; also, small camp kettle and
TIN cups for each mess, supposing them to consist
of from four TO six persons.
Second. On tins route, there is any quantity
of good grass and water, also the greatest album
dance OF gaue--and at no time in crossing. will
persons be distant from some trading post, more
than ten days travel. The horses, saddles and
brides can be obtained at Selkirk cheaper than
any other point on the route Blankets and shirts
and ammunition should be bought at Saint Paul
then proceed TO Sank Rapids by the steamer, and
there purchase canoes and proceed up The Missis-
sippi as far as Crow Wing river, and mp that about
$50 miles 10 what is called the portage across to
Red River-distant not more than two miles.
Across this portage the canoes are carried, and
$50 miles more will reach the Sci rli Settlement
The writer of this has been across once, and
is now on his way with party of eight gentle
men, to make the second trip--and to all who con-
template gong to Oregon without families, and
are fond of hunting. fishing, and sports of the
field, we say by all means 60 this route.
Inc advantage of high northern latitude in
midsummer, with no large streams of water 10
cross, as YOU keep on The dividing ridge which
separates the waters that run south into the Gulf
of Mexico, and those which run north into the
Arctic Ocean, together with the herds Of buffalo,
deer, elk, and almost every variety of game, is
sufficient inducement TO go this way. The wri-
ter and his party will leave Saint Paul about the
middle Of next week, for Selkirk, and will start
from there about the LIST of June.
Yours truly, r. w. LEE.

GALENA AND MINNESOTA MER-
CHANTS.

Having spent portion Of The past winter
in the several cities Of New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, and having observed
the large lot of goods purchased East for
the Galena trade-l was necessarily led TO
the enquiry, "What can the merchants in
Galena do with SO much mere handZe?''
The answer was, "rhey are preparing for
the Minnesota trade"
Knowing the price of goods East-ihe
writer was much surprised on his arrival
in Galena. TO find that only 10 per cent. had
been added, besides the cost aud charges,
above the Eastern value. These facts led
to the following conclusions, viz: That
Minnesota merchants can purchase goods
cheaper i'm Galena than in St. Louis, and at
the same lime save the expense Of going to
the latter place. The transportation on
goods from St. Louis to Galena, is no small
item.
Again, Galcna can afford to soil goods
cheaper than St. Louis, because the Gale
mans, or the most OF them, pay as they go,
and they are aware what the trade here rui
be when the lDdiaD treaty takes place. In
our infancy they have nursed us-let us in
return do what we can for them; pay for all
we get, and get no more than we can pay
for. Such course will l,ullJ mp our repu-
tation, aud premiums will be offered for our
custom; il they cannot get we'll supplied it
will be their own fault.

The Daily Dubuque Tribune says, and no

that no newspaper establishment in Iowa can
afford to pay over 500 per annum for dispatches
at the presen; time. Yet, if they take them reg
ulnry, at present rates, the cost may be quadru-
pie that in year. A publisher may stand this
from some impusion Of necessity which he does
NOT know how TO avoid; but it is certain that no

he can avoil it, without serious less and injury"

telegraph is almost like bese eching heaven for
