A COOP PRoJEcT.-A project is on foot
to supply at once the greatest need of our
city-a commodious first class Hotel Our
present hotel facilities are entirely inadequate
TO the business demands Of our city, and nc
one project would be of greater advantage to
the property owners of Saltwater than the
supply of this want. st. Paul has a great
advantage over us in this respect, and is reap
ing the benefits of this advantage in more
respects than one. ete.
We heard one gentleman (not citizen, Ell
Their, by the way; but largely interested
here,) propose giving one thousand dollars
to this project; while a number Of others
matter be taken hold of theoretically, and
the new Hotel project will succeed.
ANOTHER ADDITION TO STILLwATER.-R.
F. Slaughter, Esq, of ST. Paul, has just eff
fected another purchase of forty acres adioin-
ing McKenty's Addition, for which he paid
Messrs McComb & Simpson $4,000, or $3.50
per acre. This tract lies Immediately east OF
and adjoining McKenty's new Addition, and
is most beautifully situated-the ground as
cending gradually back from the bluff, over
looking the city and commanding fine view
of the Lake from Hudson to its head.
Mr.. Slaughter designs commencing sur
yey and plating Of the same into city lots
during the present week. Success to South
Saltwater! This portion of our city is bound
to go ahead. Its natural beauties and ad-
vantages will at once attract attention.
Look OUT FOR BURGLARs.-A few evenings
since an attempt was made to enter the house
of F. r. Delano, Esq, of this place. The
scamp got nearly through the window when
Mr. ID. discovered him. Not having his re-
volver at hand, few torcibLe remonstrances
against such procedure were made between
the fellows eyes, when he backed out from
his position with much greater speed than he
had entered. llL <fc q
1t will be well for citizens to keep care
full watch over their premises now that we
are deprived of the guardianship Of a watch
full and vigilant police. Our Territory has
been infested with a gang of desperate scoun-
drels during the past summer and it will be
strange if they do not seek the present un-
protected condition of our city to commit
their depredations upon our citizens. vG q
McKENTY's ADDIrIoN.-Mr. McKenty, of
st. Paul, has about completed the surveys
of his addition to Saltwater, which will be
plated and Autographed in a few days. Lots
have already been selected in advance of the
commencement of sales, and as soon as the
plats are completed they will no doubt go off
rapidly. This Addition is most beautifully
situated and will be sought after by persons
desiring to erect buildings for private resi-
dences. -t sa",,-o ,.7, -
ST. PAuI.-We have had occasion to visit
st. Paul perhaps q dozen times during the
past summer; but at no former period have
we witnessed greater activity in business and
general improvement about the city, than
during q hasty visit there a,few days since.
Mostof the buildings erected this season are
of brick or stone, are large andlwell adapted
to business purposes, and are Of the most
substantial character. We rejoice in her
prosperity, and every Minnesotian should
feel proud of the growth and beauty Of their
