praizies in this neighborhood; and find the
most Of the Winter wheat promises to make 3
fine crop. There is less water on the prairies
than hare ever seen at this season Of the year,
and the ground il in better condition to receive
the Spring crops. Many Of our farmers are now
sowing their Spring wheat, barley aud oats. I
have nerer seen our farmers more encouraged
md more determined to get in all the crops they
possibly can. Tney feel that this is to be the
year for abundant crops, and generally think
there is more gold TO be dug out Of our rich
prairie soil than at Pixies Peak.

that the crop will be but little short Of an aver

understood 10 be active in this combination
against tue Michigan Central
Ourreadcrs will easily sec that there is roon,
here for very pretty little quarrel, and how
the matter is 10 be compromised we do not
exactly acc. For ourselves NC have no anxiety
in regard To this Milwaukee, "Cut-oG." Groa.
things are expected Of it by Mlwaukcc, and If
line can be established across the lake which
can compete successfully with the Chicago
route, the sooner we know it the better. Cities
can no more secure trade permanently which
does not belong to 1l,em, than water can be
made to run up hill Commerce must in the
end seek those channels whicl, nature designed
Tor it. and MI attempts to force it from these
must prove both expensive and failure. The
delay, the expense Of transhipment, the unccr-
tainty and tic dangers Of crossing the lake
will, for oil time to come, force the larger por-
ton Of the trade and travel for the country
west aud north Of Lake Michigan through Chi
cago. AL things considered, in our judgment,
tins ls its natural channel, and tue experience
ol a very lew years, we doubt not, will con.
vince cren our Milwaukee ncighbors that sucl,
is the fact The elements Of cost, speed and
saiety infle1ibly control the currents Of trade,
Chicago can therefore well al1ord to nwait viii,
composure the experience which the opening
oftho Milwaukee "Cut-off" will afford. The
result, it is believed, will show that Chicago
holds tho position marked ont By naturc 70,
the great central city Of the continent, AL
efforts to deprive her Of that position mus,
prove utterly abortiyc. The immutable iawt
OF commerce must ever vindicate their su
rremacy.
