"Amazed I stood but could not speak"
but finally obtained snap of the world"
and commenced searching for the City of
Prescott but "comdnt find IT." But upon
taking second look at the Transcript,
| found standing advertisement which
reads as follows:
'The City of Prescott is situated on
the East side of the Mississippi River and
St Croix Lake." &c, when by dint of
close mathematical calculation I found
that | had had the excellent fortune to To-
cate within ttcelue miles of this great En-
poriuna of North America. So | started
out forthwith to 'pitch in" and make my
fortune. And have found from actual
survey that Prescott is at the point Of the
triangle formed by ST Croix and Mississ-
ippi rivers, and if there ever should grow
up acity one half as large as Mr.. Wise
contcmplates, it would extend along up
the St. Croix to Hudson and Willow Riv-
or on the north, and Forestyille on the
cast leaving Point Prescott among the
suburbs at the lower extremity, while
R;rer Falls would be just exactly in the
heart Of the city!
