KARNs CITY.
This is the name of a new town, the site
ofwhich was selected in July, and is located
on M'Leod Lake, in M'Leod County. Of the
town and country around it we have just
had description and feel satisfied, from
the manner in which its proprietors have
gone to work, taken in connection with the
natural and geographical advantages of the
location, that it will be an important inland
town. Immediately upon the selection of
the site, company was regularly organized
under which to carry out the plans of the
proprietors. A large amount of money was
assessed and paid into the Treasury of the
Company, and General S. D. Harms, late of
Pennsylvania, was appointed as Agent of the
Company, to reside at Harms City" and SUI
perintend the improvements. Among the
orders which he is to fill, is the erection ola
large Hotel, already commenced, together
with a number of other houses for the &C
commodation of the employees of the Com
pany the immediate survery and plating
of the town and the erection of a saw MILL
In addition to this, we are informed that
Messrs. Snyder & Mcfarland, of Minneapo-
lis, have already ordered Touring mill from
Philadelphia; which will be here before the
close of navigation this fall, and which will
be erected by the opening of the coming
spring.
The country in the vicinity Of this town is
unsurpassed by any in the Territory. There
is chain of lakes extending for Is or 30
miles to the South East, with fertile prairie
on the North, and heavy timber along the
whole line South of those lakes. These are
advantages which will not be overlooked,
and as the town is near the limits of the Sa-
line country, West of the Minnesota river,
we have do doubt of it's ultimate success
Among the proprietors are Col. j. H. Ste
vens, Capt Berkey, Judge Cooper, General
S. d. Harms, Snyder & Mcfarland, j. p.
Wilson, and other enterprizing men. Sue
cess to the town, say we. 800
