grist mill in process Of erection. No town IN the Terri
tory or in the whole great West ever rose more rapidly
or promises more brig tty for the future. What ere he
lots worth that were bought = year ago for six dollar:
each. Only one week Ago Mr~e IF them we're sot" .("'

late the rate Of interest per month that will increase
eighteen d"llsrA in one year into one thousand dollars
Will not the same thing take place in Louisville n
such results have been attained in Nininger by \ JUDI
! cious combination Of numbers and wealth, what will be
the results in Louisville when that combustion Is benz
not to tho erection Of houses, which will rise OF them
selves with the Necessity for them, but to the bringing
10 the hesrt Of the town ths: great avenue Of trade y
| Railroad, that great desideratum OF modern times, with,
out which commerce moves MT, man travels not, and
cities grow no. the all in all Of progress and advance
ment.
That road once built who can doubt that lots in Louis
Vile will be worth from five hundred dollars upwards Ia
Eve thousand. 1t would make louisville the emporium
Of the Minnesota River, collecting into its folds oil the
wealth and commerce If the region around it.
The sale Of the Stock will be pushed with untiring
energy nothing will be left undone; meetings will DC
| held in Nininger, St. Paul, St. Anthony, Minneapolis,
Hastings, Louisville, S~hakopee, Glencoe, st. Peters,
Saltwater, and in every part Of the country until the
lots are all sold. There will be laid out different psral.
lei lines Of Road, and the Road will be built along that
line from which there can be obtained the most subscrlP'
tons different towns interested in the success OF the
road, will under legislative authority subscribe for Stock.
AS We have Solu, 0OIOluX Will Uc 1cIt uuOuC u W.

minds that III. road will be built without them it may

Let US suppose that 4 3. Is dc.;rouo ef taking ssoei
in the Company, and lots in the town. II able to at
tend any Of the public meetings ne has only 10 put ten
dollars in his pocket for each lot he intends to take. 1t un.
able to sttend y meeting, sud residing in or near st. Paul
or Nininger, let him call ut the Offices OF the Company,
St. Anthony street, near Market street, St. Paul, or
Fifth street near Clarke avenue, Nininger, with q cor.
responding amount Of mo"ey. He will receive . receipt
for his money, select his lots and subscribe tor his STOCK,
the first instalmcnt on which is to be paid one month
from that date, and thereafter monthly. If he resides
At a distance let him enclose his money in letter bearing
his name. address, and Post Office, and send it by hand
or mail. directed to David G.. Barpitz, Esq, at the above
locality, St.. Paul, or George H. Burns, Esq, at the
above named locality in Nininger. He will receive in
tons He will also be informed Of the number OF his
subscription, and consequently Of the order OF his choice,
and will be furnished with a map Of the town BY which
to choose. So soon ~ the necessary surveying and re-
cording, now going on, is finished, he will receive the
title papers for his Et or lots, the forthcoming OF the
papers being guaranteed in the meantime by the under
signed. -.
We will say A. b. buys ten lots for ten dollars each,
making in all one hundred dollars. He subsoribes at the
same time for ten shares Of Stock, on which he pays nifty
dollars per month, for twenty months, at the end OF which
time he HI. paid up the full value Of bis Stock, VIZ,
81, 900. In the meantime, month after month, the nall
road has gone on, excavations have been dug, rails have
been laid, dcpots have been built, and the locomotive is
! seen putting and blowing in the crowded streets OF Louis.
Vile. What ara A B.'s lots worth At . reasonable
/ calculation 81 900 each. If lots in Hastings, Shakopee,
! and various other towns are now worth that sum will not
| the lots in a Railroad terminus be equally valuable
How then do A.. BIS accounts stand.

and St. Peter Western Railroad Company, l,OOO
Value Of ten lots in the town of Louisville; 10000
/ 1000
Leaving a clear prof: , 1900 dollars.
Or saw this is ertravagant: say his lots average $500
| each, and still you have = profit Of $4,925. Or reduce
it still lower, put them n $3.50 each, and you still leave
u profit Of $2,437. Or say that by any possibility after
the Railroad is built he gets u price less than many Of
the lots have already been sold for. viz, 500 each, and
he has still q profit of 81 I93, a magnificent increase
upon the cum of 600 invested less than two years
before.
Thus there is every thing to gain, nothing to lose.
Let any man study this whole project out, and he will be
; the more aud more convinced Of its practicability and
its certain advantages.
