Lumber.
EE" We invite attention to the care
OF Messrs. KNAPP, Stout q Co., one O
the largest Lumber dealing firms in tn.
West. In Dubuque, alone, they do ar
annual business of from 800, 200 te
$4,000. and by the following extrac
from the Wabashaw County Herald, some
idea OF the extent of their operations
may be gained. Their Mills are al
Menominee, Wisconsin, and the Herald
says:
The saw mill is so feet wide by $50 in length
and as may be imagined, furnishes occupation
Tor small army of men. Only ne-half of thu
mn was In operation when we were there, vel
1t Kept lou men constantly employed. Passing
TO the other end of the mill, we witnessed thu
operations of the various saws, technically
known as muleys, gangs, butting, trimming
edgng, siding, DC, and there we found ar
u to the building, extending in mother direc
tlon some 30 or 100 feet. This also was fur
nlshed with saws and machinery, and was busy
In the manufacture of siding. We have for
gotten the exact number of saws in the rooms
through which we have just passed, but there
We're between 10 and so, the capacity of which
when all in operation, is l25 900 feet per dav
Here we pass down stairs and find several men
busy at the shingle machine, which turns out
from l5,OOO to 10000 per day, which are sorted
packed, and placed upon the pier, ready to be
placed upon the RATS as fast as they are made
up and launched. A little further along are the
lath machines, two in number, though but one
was in operation at this time. These machines
are capable of turning out 90 600 lath per day
each, from the slabs and edgings of boards, Sc
that nothing is lost. Stepping out of the mill
on the west side, we found ourselves in the raft
ing shed, building about 60 feet wide by $50
feet long Here the lumber is taken from the
mill and made into cribs, on an inclined plane
from which it is launched into the river, where
II Is made into small RATS by fastening n mum.
Der together, when they are ready to be run te
the Chippewa-where these are again doubled
and run to the Mississippi, where they are made
into those immense bodies containing some
times over a million feet of lumber
Everything about the establishment goes or
with cockwork precision, every one knowing
his place and keeping it, This mill was frs
projected some twelve years ago, when Their,
was scarcely a white man in the Chippewa
valley, and has been constantly growing ever
since. 1t was burnt on the 22d of January
49, resulting in loss to the proprietors o.
SlOO,O0O, but with characteristic enterprise
they Immediately erected another more extern
sive establishment, the one we have just des
cribcd
Mr.. 4. STOUT, the depot master a
this place, is their agent here, and Mr.
RoHLITER at Jesup. They keep constant
ly, at each of these places, full assert
ment Of Lumber, and sell at low prices
Those OF our citizens in want of lum
Der should bear these facts in mind.

Brass Band.

EE- We certainly should have Brass
Band in our town, in view Of the music
al talent in it. We have nothing, at pres
ent, in the shape Ola band. and are com
PEELED to send elsewhere for what music
we require. During the present canvass
we shall doubtless find many occasions
for the services Of band, and we think
il is worth while making an effort to or
ganze one. 1t may be readily DONE
Our friend HERRIcK has a plan which,
with little encouragement from our
citizens, would give us good band =
There are enough permanent residents of
the town, with more or less experience OF
the kind, willing to become players, to
perfect the organization. There are some
four or FIVE instruments in the village
which can be secured at little or no cost
All that is lacking, therefore, is some
rs dollars to buy the remaining in
struments. CHARLEY proposes that some
ten or twenty men Of the village loan this
sum to the band, taking notes from the
players, and security on the instruments.
In less than one year, he is sure, by re-
ceipts from playing and from concert
or two. this may all be paid back. and
the band become an independent. fixed
institution. We have plenty of men who
are able. and we hope will be willing. to
lay out of the use of five or ten or more
dollars for year for the purpose of Sc
curing such convenience Will they
not consent? Come up gentlemen and
show your public spirit. Recollect all
these things help to give our town char
acter and advance its interests.

EF- Our farmers have commenced to
harvest their grain. and during the pres.
sent week a large amount will be cut
We have seen some samples of wheat
from the farm Of HEMAS MORSE, Of this
village, and we never saw better filled
heads, or a larger. finer. or plumper
grain. There is some complaint of the
/" scab' having affected it, but not to
any extent. There is nearly double the
breadth Of land seeded of any former
year, and our surplus will therefore be
very large. The failure Of the crop at
the South will have the effect to give us
good prices, and we certainly think dat
there is bright prospect before US.
