Having noticed an item in The PIONEER
AND DENoCRAr, Of the 10th inst, speaking
Of certain Salt Lakes near Alexandria, i
cannot refrain from mentioning, for the
benefit Of emigrants seeking homes, . tract
Of country west from st. Cloud, through
which the new road to the Red River Of the
North passes. 1t seems not to be generally
understood by persons in st. Paul, that
there is any other road to the Red River
country than those known as the Grow
Wing Road and the "Old Trail"
The Legislature, at its last session, passed
. bill for State road to leave St. Cloud
and terminate at Breckenridge The Com
missioners, with the view Of making road
that might be Travelled winter or summer,
determined to try if new route could not
be found that would be better than either
Of the old routes, and at the same time open
up section Of country hitherto unknown,
and in the undertaking most admirably
have they succeeded. The traveller, taking
this route, will be sstOnished at the unin-
terrupted extent of splendid farming coun.
try for miles west Of the Mississippi as yet
wholly unoccupied, which. for varied beau.
~ and excellence for agricultural purposes,
cannot be surpassed. There has been .
great amount of travel TO the Red River
this winter. am told, thing hitherto un-
known in winter for want Of stopping
places. The State road may be called
either timber or prairie road, being about
equally divided. Oar friends, Messrs. Al.
LEN Il CuAsK, intend running during the
summer line Of stages to the Red River
over this route, which will afford the cit.
zens OF st. Paul, who feel an interest in that
new aud splendid region, a chance to be
grati6ed at moderate expense. To the
Commissioners who located this new road,
and to c. &. Andrews, Esq, of st. Cloud,
the travelling public are under many obi
cations to the latter gentleman, especially,
for the greatest energy and personal exer-
ton in opening the route for travel at once
