this place within the next eighteen months whence il
pe Ell Push on the Columns. When this sn.erprss
10 completed, Appleton will be the most important
town in the northern part OF this State. Her water
power is much superior to that of any other town 10
the valley and the town site by far the most be sutif
l have ever seen-alwsys excepting the City Of
Cleveland. x
Seven years ago, dense forest covered the spot
now occupied by this thriving place, Of some two
thousand Inhabitants. The town stsods upon the north
bank of the river, six miles below the outlet Of Lake
Wine 60, at the a2ids of the Grand Chute s,d
is growing rapidly. 1t has goodly number OF stores,
fne hotel Ithe NATIONAL, number of mi Is, shops
&c. and one Of the beet schools in the State Law
renee University, and must in time be large manu-
featuring place; indeed, thuk this must yet be true
of the whole valley of the Fox River. AL that is
needed to develop the vast resources Of this section Of
the West is capital and enterprise to judiciousy apply
it to manufacturing purposes In very short time the
vast iron and copper regions Of Lake Superior on the
north will be at their very doors, and the exhaastess
coal.felds of Illinois the south, will be cheaply and
readily accessible by railway. Then capital and
energy find profitable opportunities for nvest.
ment at that point and have the faith to believe that
Eastern capitalists will have the wisdom to see, aud
seize, this golden opportunity.

Appleton has two weekly papers-one, re Free

much after the style of The Detroit Free Pre'; the
difference being that the man OF re Free Press
knows somethine, while he Of The appleton Crescent
knows nothing.
