SALIVA.

The Enterprise Of last week notices
the above named village at length, and
is evidently astonishcd at its marvcllou,
growth, as are all who visit the place
1t is indeed rushing ahead with speed
which promises to outstri p some Of the
older places on the river, and yet it is
only building up in response to tho in
creasing demands o: an increasing bust
ness No "kiting," stock.se ling, or fan
cy operations mark its progress; NOR
chants, lumbormcn, mechanics, labor
ing men and others have gone there as
their services have been required; there
being no tenemcnts at the outset, they
must necessarily build for business pur.
poses, places of residence &C., hence
the town has sprung up as Il by magic.
AS long as tho increase Of population
only keeps pace with tho increase of
business, tho growth is healthy, and
the most yirulent croakcr cannot charge
that the thing is ovordono.
When the interminable Emerson
cfso is decided, MS it soon will be, and
the title to largo tract of tho most
valuable property in this city Quilted,
settlement will tend rapidly toward our
southern boundary which joins Salina,
instead Of being mile therefIom as
stated in the Enterprise, and property
on streets continuing, as do Washington
and Jefferson, or at any point between
the two, within the boundaries of either
place, must Of necessity become dcsira-
blo for residences, and rapidly increase
in value. There il in fact no "nterven.
ing distance" between the boundaries,
and tho intervening distance between
the thickly populated portions is already
rapidly filling up for the reason that
lots in ;hat locality are selling cheaper
than elsewhere Drs. Farrand and
Duncan, as also other parties who have
plated in the vicinity, are offering lots
at very reasonable figure. we quote
