Provisions and EHEis5eF cheap
and Abundant.

ana ABEskEuTAss tiet
For some years Provisions and Lumber
have been scarce and dear in this region !;
SO dear that the mechanic has had hard
time of it 10 live, even at wages that seem
ed exorbitant, while the farmer has put OIL
building in hopes of cheaper lumber and
mechanic wages. Thus it is, that all
THINGS come round in their order, for now
The chances seem favorable fol cheap pro-
visions, cheap lumber, and probably low,
er scale of wages. Ii is not to us clear
conclusion that provisions will fall much
under present rates, considering that the
northwest will be called upon to supply
such vast population, third nearly OF
which is new and non producing. This
however is clear, that crops is large in all
parts Of The United States: consequently,
the rates of provisions will average low in
proportion as supplies are abundant. Wei
will presume that provisions will be cheap,
that lumber will be cheap and perhaps
other supplies also cheap. We have said
that lumber Will be cheap because Lake
lumber is thrown into competition with
liver lumber, by railroad facilities. Lake
lumber is superior and cheaper and there
fore the lumber of our river pineries will
have TO rate below lake lumber in quality
and price. --fas +
From the above considerations we jump
at several conclusions, at once important
and interesting persons Of small means,
yet hitherto compelled to pay extravaganza
rents for small dwellings, will be able to
build themselves houses; stores and shops
will be built at rapid rate in village and
country; farmers will set about building
houses, barns, out-houses and fences IN ev'
cry direction. Old dwellings, will be a:
bandoned, or turned over for new corners i
rents will come down; families will sepa-
rate, for in all our villages third Of the
dwellings contain two or three families be-
cause there aren OF houses enough tosupplyI
all; the long betrothed yet pecuhiary dis
abled young men and lnaldens will see
their way clear enough to marry and set
up house keeping; the whole country will
swarm like an old hive of bees in June
cur villages will grow like mushrooms, all
because the country is blessed with eheap(
breadstufs aud cheap lumber.
DrNLEIrH COMMERCIAL ADvERrisER.--E
From a borrowed number Of the DunleithI
Com. Abgertiser, We learn that our frienel
Paul is Il joint editor and proprietor with
Mr.. FLAvEN in said Aduertiser. They
have started weekly paper Of seven col
umns, promising Daily when the right
time comes. The -49oertiser is neutral
upon no question, independent in all things
promises to assail what is wong, ap-
prove the right, bow to no party or clique,
eater to no factien and eaper upon every
thing having a side or end; it is therefore
double track and wide gage paper, con.
fined to no particular limits in its range
of discussion. The -AdUertiser will be a
valuable local and general news jgasrlFsl'
and will cLly represent the business and
commercial importance Of Dunleith, a
place destined to possess great wealth aud
commercial power within few months
But little is known of Dunleith; we are
surprised as We read in the 4Adpertiser the
number aud variety Of business houses al
ready established there. 1t has its man
ufacturing and wholesale houses and re-
ceiving and forwarding agencies, whereby
Dunleith is joined as by thousand cords
to all parts Of the western country; and
by grand cable lines and rivers to The far
off south, east snd north. We confess we
had not so much thought of Danlieth FOR
n year as in tie few moments We have
spent in perusiGg its minute map aud di-
rectory-the -Aapertiser. Thus it has been
with many; great thugs have been over.
looked small matters have ARISEN. into
mountains.
