THE GREAT NORTHWEST.

it has been accustomed to hold COM,

seeing nothing attractive in the old
route of i ancient rival, the North.
west Company, by Lake Superior, has,
within the past year, begun to toward
its supplies by New York and st. Paul,
up the valley of Red River to its infe-
rior posts. Public. meetings on this
new route to the Pacific have been at.
tended in the towns of the Upper Mis-
sissippi with enthusiasm. 81 :Ss .ra.:
/ Expeditions, well equipped, have,
during the past summer, gone through
this whole region to open up more
thoroughly its capabilities. and to test
by expercment, its Possibilities. Two
steamers, the Freightcr and Jeannett
Roberts, moved up the Mi1hesota river
during she high stage Of water in the
spring, for the sake of passing across
from Big Stone Lake to LAX Traverse,
and so of entering up the navigation
of the inland waters. Another steam
er, the Anson Northrup, was taken
apart in the winter and was drawn OH
sleds from Crow Wing on the Missis-
sipi, to Breckenridge on the RED
River +, where it was rebuilt, and this
summer it has actually begun the nav
igation by steam en- the Red River of
the North. So private enterprise, un-
aided by Government patronage, is
gathering the laurels, and, we trust,
profits also, on this realm of promise
TOR the future: .. gr...a rs
t'The truth is" says the Edinburg
Reviewer, ''that though the accidents
of political organization have decided
otherwise, the district Of the Red Biver
is, according to all geographical con-
sidera:ions, part Of the State Of Min
nesota. 1t is. beyond all question,
that the natural approach to, and out.
let from, the Hudson Bay Territory,
is through the State Of Minnesota.
Such commerce AZ the country has, is
destined to 60 to the South, and as far
rs its intercourse with the rest of the
world is concerned, the Red River Set
