The Court Hou.. Appropriated.

The county board of supervisors. at
the special meeting on the 18th inst.
voted an appropriation of 49, 600 for the
erection of a court house. The board
contempIates building a Stone structure
about 40 by 60 feet. two stories high.
1t is tue present plan Of the board. we
believe, to occupy the first floor Of the
new building for a jail and the residence
of he jailer. and the second floor for a
court room and two jury rooms. The
building now occupied is deemed suffi
GENTLY large and safe for the use of the
county officers and the preservation Of
the county records. Consequently there
will probably be no Offices prepared for
that purpose in the new court house.
We think the appropriation a liberal
one. 1t viii build good, roony, sub
stantial structure sufficiently large for all
practical purposes, and fully as expensive
as the tax payers Of the county will care
to pay for, without the prospect of bet
ter prices for produce is more fattering
than at present

through the northern part of Wisconsin

Duluth, etc.-in search of permanent
location for the practice of his profession

ougb, critical survey Of the premises, he
has concluded that Pierce county, with
its present prosperity aud bright future
prospects, offers greater inducements TO
young, energetic men seeking for homes
than any other section he has visited.
All such people are welcome.

County Roads.

After the transaction Of such business
rs required their immediate attention al
the clerks Office, during the late special
session of the county board, Supervisors
McMURPHY, CARPEETER and ANDREWS
spent three or four days prospecting
the county, for the purpose of examining
the various routes to satisfy themselves
in regard to the best location for the
proposed county roads. Our imperfect
knowledge of the topography of the
country will not permit us to. give our
readers detailed description of the diff
ferent routes viewed by them. We can
simply give them some of the roads they
traversed and examined. Those who
have travelled the roads will need no
guidance from us and those who have
not would gain little or no infor nation
from tho imperfect description we would
be able to give them. We will, there
fore. note only the routes taken and the
places visited, as near as we can recoliect
from the information we have at present
writing
On leaving Ellsworth, the supervisors
went down Rush river to within four
miles of Maiden Rock, thence they pro-
ceeded up the Rush river valley to FL
Paso, thence to the east line Of the cOun-
ty, via Rock Elm Centre, by what is
called the Otis road. returning to E.
Paso by another road running nearly
parallel, some distance to the northward.
The road known as the State road was
inspected, and also the road from River
Falls TO the east and west road. The
Cave creek and Lost creek crossings
were carefully examined. These cross
ings are important features of the route,
and the expense of building the road
will be considerably lessened by a judic.
ious selection of points easily bridged,
where the banks do not rise too abruptly
from the stream.
We understand that the supervisors
have not as yet fixed upon any route.
They are willing, and, in fact, desire to
hear the views of the people expressed
in relation to their location and construc
ton. AS far as they are concerned, in
diyidually, their opinions coincide as tC
the routes to be adopted, still it is theil
wish to get all the information possible
from trustworthy sources and give al
parties interested hearing before any
appropriation is made for road purposes.
Il cannot be expected every ono will be
suited, whatever action tie board may
take. But wherever j, is determined the
roads shall go, we trust j, may be where
ihey will result iii the greatest benefit to
the creates, portion of the county.
The amount in the county treasury
which may be used for this purpose is
nearly $4,000. This sum, though small,
will, with the assistance of the people
slong these highways, place them in q
passabIe condition, and appropriations
can be made from time to time for their
improvement if thought necessary and
advisable.
