less of the false assertion that St. Paul has no
good country back of her, and must look to
the other side of the Mississippi. This will all
do very well for spectators in town lots up the
Minnesota, but it is unworthy the counten-
ance of men doing legitimate and permanent
business among us. The people on the Up
per st. Croix wish to open this line of inter-
course with st. Paul, and will do all in their
power to expedite the enterprise. The inter-
vening country will soon settle when once roads
are opened through it. Natural gardens of
this character do not long lie idle when once
there is a chance of getting to them. Our mer-
chants are now buying in st. Louis and at the
East at rates that enable them to sell at
G alena prices, transportation added; and there
is no reason why we may not now commence
furnishing the supplies for the St. Croix Pine
ries that have been heretofore purchased in Ga
lena. Let it be known that we can do it, and,
with good road to Taylor's Falls in winter
time our streets will be crowded with teams
and citizens from the Upper st. Croix. Those
settlements appear vast distance from us,
because the way of getting at them is a round
about one. They scarcely know what VIC are
doing over here, when in fact they should be
our next door neighbors. Who will be first to
move in breaking up the jam that now locks
us in and prevents our holding intercourse
with each other? Let st. Paul look to it in

tons, not equal by several hundred souls to
that of St Paul, will send to market this sea-
son, sixty million feet of sawed lumber and logs,
provided the streams continue at their present
stage few weeks longer. Some weeks ago we
made an estimate, placing the entire amount of
logs in the Territory at a much less figure than
this. We were hugely mistaken. Circumstan-
ces have greatly favored the st. Croix lumber
men this season. For two years past the low

these are men-real, substantial, independent
men and citizens-not machines, for uphold
ing and enforcing the edicts of tyrants. The
first year our aristocratic and precisely dressed
neighbor of the Democrat resided in Minnesota,
he passed up the St. Croix, and was very much
astonished to find Mr.. Setter, who had been a
member of the first Minnesota Legislature,
standing Oh a log raft. dressed in a red shirt.
II such sights are still curiosity to him, he
might, by passing over that way at this time
find very nearly all those who have from the
commencement horne a conspicuous part in the
Legislative councils of Minnesota, clothed in
the same habiliments and engaged in the same
occupation. At least, he would find at the
Boom his friend, Elan Greedy, rugged out in this
guise. acting in the respectable capacity of
Boom Master and besides directing the more
weighty business of the corporation, keeping
his eye upon some hundred or two hands, en-
gagged in driving and rafting, and scattered four
or five miles along the river. He would also
meet there, appearing in the same curious and
unaccountable style that Setter did, LOOMS
and Trask, two gentlemen he used to hear from
occasionally during the famous ninety days
session. But dropping this side-talk. we have
few words to say in regard to the

St. Croix Falls
This old milling site, which it would take all
the Courts in Christcndom, and all the Philadel-
pha lawyers with their number multiplied by
ten thousand, to decide to whom it rightfully
belongs, is now wearing greater signs of active
prosperity than it has since the famous Boston
Company laid the whitening curse of their
hands upon it. 1t always appeared to us a
burning shame, and a disgrace to the country,
that so great and glorious a water privilege,
planted by the hand of nature directly within
striking distance of one of the most inexhaust-
ible pine regions in The world, should be suffer-
cd to lie waste from year to year, or be used at
iuiuouS sacTluceS 10 ever HAL VIII tOuCHeu H.
These results have not been from natural causes,
but from mans selfishness and cupidity, and a
desire to override and crush his fellow-man.
We do not wish to be understood as giving any
opinion as to which of the parties litigant are
in the right but certain it is. Mr.. Hungerford,
who now has possession, is making the Falls
look vastly more like business place than it
has for years. The mill has been refittcd with
new machinery the past winter, and is now
driving ahead rapidly. day and night, running
four saws, with the remaining two almost in
readiness to start. Things about the village
wear prosperous appearances and if the pro-
perty were only out Of law, there would be no
more thriving, driving. go-ahead village in the

We must have Roads.

|
| Last winter, two or three citizens Of St. Paul
we claim 10 credit or great forecast for being
one of theul--urged upon the Legislature the
expcdiency of having Territorial road from
st. Paul to Taylor's Falls. A bill was finally
passed, mainly through the excrtons of Mr..
Luddcn, of the Chisago district, providing for a
main road from Taylor's Falls to the Falls of
st. Anthony, with branch diverging from
White Bear Lake to st. Paul. st. Paul must
bestir herself in seeing this road put through.
There is already good road to White Bear,
| leaving only about thirty miles over an eligi-
BILE country to be worked. The Point Douglas
and st. Louis river road will be finished by
September to the mouth of Sunrise Rollins
and Fullerton are now working their contracts
with great energy through the heavy timber in
the vicinity of Taylor's Falls. The road from
White Bear to TaylOrs Falls will pass upon
dry ridge six miles west of Marine and can be
tapped with branch running to that point
over good ground. 1t will also pass the Swe-
dish settlement this side of Marine: ten miles
further it reaches Lake Chisago and the Swe-
dish settlement there located, and ten miles
further through the heavy timber brings us to
Taylor's Falls. There is no outlet and direct
line for the mississippi and Lake Superior
Railroad, from st. Paul to the St Croix Valley,
except by this route. You must 90 out to
White Bear, and pass across the neck of land be-
tween that and Bald Eagle Lake, and thence on
by the route We have laid down. By this course
ST. Paul--the point .farthest north on the Mis-
sissippi Fort Smelling is south of us, rccollectl
attained by uninterrupted steamboat naviga-
tion,-is brought within one hundred and Mir-
fy miles of Lake Superior, over high, dry and
eligible track for railroad or any other kind
of road. One hundred and thirty miles. What
is it Not the distance from here to Wabasha
Prairie, which we think no more of visiting du-
ring the season of navigation, than taking the
trouble to ride up to St. Anthony. White
Bear Lake is fourteen miles from Marine and
fourteen miles from st. Anthony on direct
line, measuring either way from the north end
of the lake. From this point to ST. Paul is
twelve miles, thus making two miles difference
in favor of st. Paul from either Marine or Tay-
lor's Falls.
1t is within the power of the people of St.
Paul to open this rich and desirable country.
and make it tributary to her. We want to hear
