Business Prospects of st. Paul.

We have frequently, during the past season. urged
upon city authorities and business men, the
iiy Of vigorous improvement in our lcvee, that pro-
vision should be made to afford accommodation for
the Increase of business which must result TO ST.
Paul. from the immense immigration to the Territory
immediately upon the opening of navigation next
spring, and gratfed that exertions have
been made for the Improvement Of both the upper and
lower iandings. There is more than double the room
at both landings than We had hast spring; but there
is not half the room that will be necessary for the
Transaction of the evce business of next spring and
summer.
We hazard the assertion and VIC have not the least
doubt Of the correctness of our views on this .bec,
that the business Of ST. Paul WILL next YEAR be more
than treble what has been the past season; and in
support OF this assertion will refer TO some facts
which present unmstakabic Indications of the COR
RICHNESS OF position.
twill be remembered that previous to 1919, the
present Territory Of Minnesota formed a portion Of
that immense wilderness which was supposed to be
located west Of the States of Wisconsin and Iowa.
South Of the North Pole, and bounded on the West
by Sm-down, and on the South by the dominions (
his Satanic Majesty. Congress, in 1919, gave to
the Territory Ga local habitation and name, -
and Minnesota, previously hidden in the mist of geo.
graphical ignorance, began to peep forth from the
cloud which surrounded her, presenting to the adm
ring gaze Of an 6 American public face Of such
beauty as to command the love and adora,ion of all
who were so fortunate to behold it. ST. Paul in
1872 was an underlined but slightly perceptbc beau
ty spot the face of Minnesota, but has now become
an interesting and Distinguishing feature on that love-
y face.
The carrying trade Of St. Paul, in 1852 did not en-
poy Steamboat force sufficient TO secure an average
OF one arrival per week. During that YEAR, the imm
grafton to the Territory was large, compared with
the previous amount Of popsation, but owl ing to the
attractions in California, and want of genera kpow.
edge even Of the existence Of the Territory in manv
portions Of the Eastern States together with the fact
that the most valuable agricultural portions of the
Territory were still owned by the Indians, and not
open to settlement, il was confined to small tract w.
ing between the ST. crois, Mississippi and Rum
Rivers.
In 1851 the steamboat arrivals at st. Paul during
the sumuer, WAS about eqvat TO two each week the

THE NEW LINE OF STEAM BoArs.-The nro-
cecd'ngs OF meeting in relation to obtaining daily
line Of steamboats, between St. Paul and ST. Louis,
held on Wednesday evening last at the Court House,
will be found in another column.
Messrs. Wiltse Lockwood and Stimson were an
pointed committee from meeting of the citizens Of
Dubuque, TO visit ST. Paul aud other points on the
river, with view to ascertanug the feelings of the
business men generally, reatvc 10 the establishment
OF daily line Of boats between this place and ST.
LOUIS, connecting at Dubuque with the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, which will reach the Mississippi by the
first OF June next.
Ii is we'll known fact that the boats in the trade
the past season have not been sufficient TO acccmno
date the business community and the consequent tax
upon all classes in the Territory has been great.
Although the Minnesota Packet Company contem.
plate making additions their number Of boats 90 as
to run daily line between Galena and ST. Paul next
Spring, we confidently anticipate an increase of bust.
oess that will give steady employment to both lines
We only fear they will not be able to do all the BUSH
ness that will be required for the prompt accommoda.
ton Of the public.
Our business men have very generally given the
Committee assurance Of their support and influence
The advantages which must result to the Territory
ny the establishment of line Of boats connecting with
the Illinois Central and other Railroads is apparent
to all, and we believe that the business to DO done
will make stock in the boats valuable.

DUpUeuE.-The geographical location of this
town is decidedly favorable FOR the control of vas,
business, both the river and in the interior Of the
State Of Iowa and also of Minnesota but heretofore
she has evinced want Of energy, by no means char
acterlstc Of Western towns, which has materiali,
retarded her progress. While she neglected to avail
herself Of the natural advantages she possessed Ga
lena, much less favored in ura location has seuzed
upon and kept almost the entire trade of Minnesota
Northwestern Wisconsin, and even of Northern
Iowa, from which she has prospcrcd to degree al.
most beyond belief.
While Galena was untirins in her excrtions TO Sc
cure The trade Of the Upper Mississippi, Dubuque
stood lisessly by. gazing with astonishmcnt, and now
and again uttering growI Of Dissatisfaction at the
very perceptible merchantilc prosperity of rival
town.
cit is better late than never" is proverb which
Dubuque appears inclined to consider Although she
must be aware that she has allowed her rival to gain
advantages Of great importance, she now evinces a
desire to put on her working clothes, and endeavor
to mend her ways and il possible to wrcst from Ga
lena the proud mercantile prc-eminence she has so
long possessed.
The prospect for early completion Of the Illinois
Central Railroad to point the Mississippi, oppo-
site Dubuque, has aroused her to sense of the ne.
cessty for prompt, decided and vigorous action and
if she pcrseveres she will doubtless succeed. But
she reco'Iect that she has capable active and
energetic rival and therefore must be ever ygiIant
and work without ceasing.
Dubuque was intended by nature to he the point of
transit for all Southern supplies for the population Of
immense tract Of country which spreads off West
and Northwest Of her. that is now settling and will
be settled by farmers, mechanics, merchants,
&C.. and she is located at what is naturally the most
convenient point for the shipment Of produce from
that agricultural and mining country, which will
afford extensive and important trade. Nature has
located her where she should be able to call to her
the greater portion If all, Of the trade OF North
ern Iowa and Minnesota. But to obtain j., she must
not hide her light under bushel, she must let Min
nesota know where she is, If she desires Minnesota
to go TO her. The merchants Of Dubuque must ad-
vertse in Minnesota papers. If they desire the MGR.
chants Of Minnesota should know where they are
and ~ha, they have to sell. The great secret of the
success Of Gaera, and the business prosperity of Ga
lena merchants is that they have advertised literally
in Minnesota papers, they made themselves known
to the people; they desired for customers. A word
to those who buy wisdom should lie sufficient

The Boats.

The Nominee ran to Pigs Eye Bar on Sunday
the 9Th, where she was obliged to remain unit
Tuesday, when, having shipped her freight TO Red
Rock in hopes that the Black Hawk, which is dali,
expected, would bring it TO ST Paul, she backed out
of the scrape she had got into and is now on her way
to GaIcna.
The Clarion arrived far as Pr. Prescott. ship
ped her freight at that place, and returned, in con
sequence of a report that the river was full of ice
and that navigation to the city was impossible.
The Humboldt came down the Minnesota on Mon
day. She is not expected to return.
The old DR.. Franklin made her regular trip and
returned with due punctuality. The Old Doctor is
no reproach upon her namesake
The Greek Slave viii probably arrive to day.
BY some it is though, that she viii not venture fur
Their than Pt. Douglass, but inasmuch as there is but
small quantity Of ice in the river we see 10 reason
why she should fail TO make her trip.
Most Of the freight Of the Nominee is now being
teamed to St. Panl.
Well, good bye to the boats fcr the season. On
the opening Of navigation we shall be glad to see
their familiar faces again, well the faces Of those
n'c friends which, we promised, will make or
acquaintance in the spring. Bu,--in view of the re-
cent irrcguary Of steamers and the great incon
venenoe suffered by business men, as well as our
citizens. ought not exertion he made for rail-
road! These things must not continue so long. A
railroad is the only thing which will obviate the diff.
6culy.
The TIGER.-This boat has been disposed of,
and left our wharf for Red Wing on Friday last
We learn her engine will be used for a mill TO be con
structed at Red Wing, and the hull will be repaired
and used for wharf-boat at that ing town. We
hope the old boat will continue to do good business,
IN whatever capacity she may be used.
