Tho Interior Responding to the Red
River Steamboat Enterprise.


River Steamboat Enterprise.
The Belle Plaine Enquirer of the 9th ult.
notices the movement by the Chamber of
Commerce of this City to place steamboats, on
the Red River of the North, and remarks?
In this view of the subject, the benefits
accruing from the successful navigation of
the streams referred to is not of local char
acter in any sense whatever but is project
Of the first importance to the whole State of
Minnesota, and to no portion in greater de-
gree than to our own valley.
"The inevitable result of the enterprise
proposed, will be to hasten rapidly the settle
ment and development of fine agricultural
district, comprizing half million square
miles, which must, from its position, seek an
outlet and market in and through Minneso-
ta."
." The important fact that by the portage be-
tween the Big Stone Lake and Lac Traverse,
(Which are respectively the principal sources
of the Minnesota and Red Rivers,) thew are
only about one mile distant from each other in a
high stage of water, will not be overlooked,
and indeed is one of the prominent reasons
why our Valley should feel that to us espe-
cially is the subject one of more than ordinary
interest, and appeals directly to our locality,
and we hope that our enterprizing and intelIi-
gent citizens will manifest proper degree of
enthusiasm in the matter, and as far as is
prudent, to cooperate with those who have
initiated the important movement. The truth
is, that If it was project by which st. Paul
alone would be benefited, (Which is far from
being the fact,) we would as true citizens of
Minnesota, feel it incumbent upon us to coun-
tenance and encourage it as far as practica-
BILE, how much more then, since it is evident
that we have local interest of our own to
advance" -... -.
We are happy to find our contempora-
ries of the interior of Minnesota, and espe-
cially of the Valley of the Minnesota, taking
these energetic views of the enterprise as one
in which all the State is interested along with
St Paul. This is emphatically the case. The
development Of the Northwest is the common
interest of every locality in Minnesota.

The Pioneer copies and chuckles over the

eminent Republican is "effectdally used up"
by OwEN's last card but in its rejoicings, it
cannot conceal its scorn of the D." oldest editor
in the State" who has done this dishonorable
act 1t says: "'but there will be differences
of opinion as to the prqpriety, HONOR, and
even honesty of publishing private letters!"
In conclusion it remarks: '.-""

THE ST. ANDREWS Soc1ErY.- We have been
favored with glance at the constitution Of
this society, which is about organizing, and
think it we'll adapted to their purposes! ~
The constitution provides for fund to be
kept up by yearly dues, said fundto be used
for benevolent purposes, in relieving the wants
of resident Scotchmen and their families, or
providing for sick and destitute emigrants
who may arrive here. .1
And while these humane features are amply
provided for, the social are not to be forgotten.
An annual dinner on "St. Andrews Day"
is to be held, and regular meetings appointed,
in order that by frequent intercourse with
each other the members may become &C.
quainted, and mutually interested in each
others welfare, thus keeping alive tfraternal
feelings, and tanning the social spark s 90
We learn that the society will start with
about sixty members, numbering some of our
best citizens, and that one principle OBJ
ject is to bring hither an immigration of the
enterprising sons of Scotia, and to furnish
them with employment, and give them as
sistance on their arrival We wish the So
ciety success. q. ri

The Times refers to some article in our pa
per of Jan. 1st, which it says we took with
out credit, from the Boston Transcript. To
show how hard run our cotemporary is to make
capital against the MINNEsorIAN, we may
mention to our readers, that we suppose it
refers to notice of the atlantic Monthly,
sent to us by the publishers, to be inserted
in the editorial columns and to be paid for by
them as an advertisement! But this is
keeping with its charge 'of plagiarism in re-
gard to the Burns article, which charge it
sustained by garbling, and by erasing from
their quotations the credit we gave in the
words "aoe gather from his biographers" 1t

self, attended Railroad meeting at Eddy

peared early in tae proceedings that the real
object which we were expected to aid, was the
inauguration ola scheme to extend the n

which we were already pledged, to which
may be added, by way of pastilne, the agree

.ay@ THE Washington co,respoa lent of the
Springfield Republican gives the following
respecting } Judge Watrous, of Texas:
Judge Watrous was originally from Connec-
ticut, though he was appointed to his office
from Alabama. He is now in Washington,
an old, white-haired man, wandering through
our street forlon and i'll at ease, awaiting the
result of the trial. Horace +. Clark said
most eloquently in his speech, in defence
the Judge, that if he could only have turned
away from the temptation to speculate in
lands, temptation rendered so seductive by
his provcrty, he would have been saved fr ON
this terrible trial. Unquestionably great
deal of clamor in the Gulf State has been "a i
scd against the Judge, from the fact that he
had favored Mexican titles to land n Texas
The southern emisrants like the chan to
s cal land wherever they can find it, and
and ready to strike down any judge who
sides with justice in such matters.

Hest Route to pixies peak

The question is settled, thatan en-
igration, exceeded only by that of 1910, if
even by that, will rusli to the new Eldorado
the coming spring, and it is a question of
considerable Importance, what route that
emigration will take. Believing that the route
through the second tier of counties of this
Stateto the mouth Of the Plsste, is by far the
best, not excepting the Missouri River, we
shall make it our business to set forth our
reasons for thinking So
In the first place, all the accounts that
we have seen, represent the route I'D the
south side of the Platte, and up the South
Platt, the nearest and the best from the Mis-.
souri, River, aud that being so, the only ques-
ton remaining to be decided is, how can the
mouth of the Platte be most expediously,
comfortably and cheaply reached. The an
swer to this question is an easy one. We
say unhcsitatingly that the route by the
Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad to
Burlington, and by the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River Railroad to Agency City, to
which place the cars will be running in
few weeks, and thence by stage to Platts-
mouth through the second tier of counties
this State, or by wagon if that mode
is preferred, is the shortest most direct and
the cheapest that can be found. BY this
route the emigrant has railroad some 40
miles farther west in Iowa than by any
road, and to within about 200 miles of the
Missouri River, and from the railroad termi-
nus, the route lays through country set
tied all the way, where outfits and supplies
can be obtained at very reasonable rates.
indeed, we are certain that supplies of all
kinds can be obtained on as favorable terms
in this county, as any where in the vest
The G. B. & @. and the B. & NJ. r. Rail-
roads are the best in the country, and the
Western Stage Company ave running daily
line of splendid post coaches With careful
drivers, through to the mouth,.of the Platte
We are not prepared to state the exact .ex
pense by railroad and stage from Chicago,
hut think it would not exceed $40, and
the time two or three day. We certainly
think that our eastern friends, who propose
to visit Pixies Peak in the spring, will save
time and money by adopting this route.
whether they wish to travel by public Or
private conveyance. We invite an examin-
alton of the map which we think will fur
nish conclusive argument in it's favor.
