progressing finely. The teachers are both
excellent, and have the school in good
shape, especially when tho great number
Of scholars and comparatively poor accom-
modations are considered. On the first

pupils. The need of new and comm obi
Gus union school building is badly felt.
But it will be among the improvements of

CONVENIENT SURvEYs.-Gen. T. H.
Barrett has been engaged with several
parties Of men in filing contracts held by
him Tor government surveying in this
State and in Dakota Territory. In Grant.
Stevens and Traverse counties he subdivi-
ded into quarter sections thirteen townships,
SO that they will soon be ready to DO en-
tered by settlers, many Of whom have al.
ready gone in and taken homesteads. The
country is prairie, slightly undulating ::
the soil dark loam and Of first-rate quail
ity; plenty Of meadow; tolerably we'll
watered; timber scarce except on some of
the lakes which abound. It is well adapt
ed for wheat growing, the only drawback
in any particular being the lack Of timber.
In Dakota Gen. Barrett subdivided an
Indian Reservation for the Sisseton and
Waupton Indians. It. lies between Fort
Wsdsworth and Lakes Traverse AID Big
Stone, extending almost to the Fort-a tri-
angular tract Of about twenty seven town
ships, or almost one thousand square
miles. 1t is prairie country, with tim
Der all along the east Of the coteaux, and
on most Of the large lakes, of which there
are number. Every short distance are
ravines with small creeks and lakes firing
ed with timber. The water is almost all
alkaline.
Some three hundred Indians have SET
tied on the reservation, number Of whom
have good vegetable patches, most made
within the past year. The rest hunt, fish
and beg. The government, we understand,
will give 40 or 80 acres to each Indian AZ
he cultivates it. These are q bettsr class
than most Of the Indians III this State
more inclined to be industrious.

RAILROAD M1ET1HG.-A number Ut the
substantial citizens Of St. Cloud met at the
Office Of Ham!in l. Moore last evening,
to take into consideration the project of q
Railroad from this city to Lake Superior,
or to connect with tho St. Paul & Superior
Railroad.
T. G. Mcclure was elected Chair man and
e. M. Wright Secretary.
Remarks were made by VIM. s. Moore.
L. Gorton, H. G. Wait, r. M. Richardson,
H. C.. Burbank, H. L. Gordon and others.
The conclusion Of the meeting was that
it was improbable and impolitic to or
ganize company under the general law
for the purpose, and that it was desirable
to obtain Territorial charter to operate
under. Various old charters were spoken
OF. The sense Of the meeting WAS to refer
the whole matter to the Board Of Trade. to
appoint committee to examine Territo-
rial charters, 10.
1t is to be hoped that the Board Of Trade
"AAA ~ 4AVAAI1J ~ sA0 mobteEs IL was
tho opinion Of the meeting that no great
difficulty would be experienced in getting
hold Of proper charter to operate under.
The counties Of stearns, Benton, sher-
burne and Mile Lac are deeply interested
in this enterprise and it 10 believed will be
willing to give material aid to it. In fact,
the whole upper country is interested and
should combine, Is We think it will. to
make the project success.
A railroad from st. Cloud to Superior.
or to connect with the St. Paul and Supe.
rior Railroad At the nearest practicable
point, would be of inestimable benefit to
the whole upper country. 1t is what We
need and what We must have. That &C.
complished, railroad up the Sank Valley
and railroad connection with Mankato
on tho Minnesota River, will inevitably
follow.
Let US put our heads and our shoulders
together to accomplish it. We call upon
the Board Of Trade to act promptly in the
matter. Energy is success.
