Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1869-07-13

The Mineral Point Democrat mo-
tees with commendable respect our
late article on the Importance of at
once setting about paying the Iowa
County Bondholders, but claims that
we erred in stating that lands situat-
ed on either side of the Grant and
Iowa County line are selling at
prices so differing as to show that
lands are any cheaper in Iowa Coun~
ty on account of said bond mortgage
debt. 1t may be as the Democrat
states, yet any good bust ness man,
whether selling or buying lands
would surely take into account the
fact of the Iowa County indeDt-
ness which is equal to seven per cent.
of the tax basis of that county. 1t
is very true that Iowa County lands
have had their value greatly raised
by the Mineral Point railroad, but
even this ought to be another argu,
ment why Iowa County ought to
pay her bonds-having received
such large benefits from the railroad,
her lands being worth SO much more
on account of it. We argue that the
people of Iowa County greatly en-
riched themselves by voting to aid
in building their railroad, and that
common Justice forbids that they
should now sock to evade payment
of q debt that made them rich. Pay
the debt, therefore, and thereby in
sure an extension of the road to
Dodgeville and north. Honesty and
economy encourage the suggestion.

Visit of the Empress Eugene to the
# United States. q.

It is pretty generally understood
that Prince Arthur, second son of
the Queen Of England, will visit Can
ada and the United States during the
present season but the fact that we
are about to announce has not yet
been made public-that an illustrious
person will land on our shores next
summer, in the person of Eugene
Montijo, granddaughter of old Mr..
Fitzpatrick, at one time American
Consul at Malaga, and a friend of
Washington Irving, who, in one of
his letters, says: 'Louis Napoleon
and Eugene Montijo, Emperor and
Empress Of Francei-one of whom
entertained at my cottage on the
Hudson; the other when q child, l
had on my knee at Grenada 1t
seems to cap the climax ofthe strange
dramas of which Paris has been the
theater during my lifetime + =
The last / saw of Ecgenie Montiio.
she was one of the reigning bellies of
Madrid" Eugene will not visit the
United States as Empress of France,
but will travel incognito, under an as
sumed title, which, however, will
not prevent her from receiving q
most cordial and enthusiastic recep-
ton wherever she may show her still
beautiful face. She will be the first
of the crowned heads of Europe who
has landed on American soil.-Apple

SOME SAW MILL.-Gen. Atwood,
of the State Journal, and who was
one of the excursion party to Pesh-
tigo, gives the following description
of the celebrated mill at that place :
"The great saw mill Of the Peshtigo
Company was the object of special
attraction to the excursionists, and
every department. Of it was shown
up to the visitors by the person in
charge. 1t is said 10 be the finest
mill in the country. The logs are
taken in at one end of the mill, and
they pass through almost without
interruption, coming out at the other
end in sawed lumber, and in this
shape, are loaded into vessel, ready
for transportation to. market. It
is capable of turning out 100000 #.
of lumber per day with ease. Con-
pected with it the company runs 3
large barges capable of containing
700, 900 feet of lumber each. These
are in constant use in removing the
lumber produced in this mill. One
is always at the mill being loaded,
one at Chicago delivering her freight,
and the other in trapsita between the
two points. These items will show,
in slight degree, the magnitude Of
the lumber operations of this COM
pany with single mill. 1t requires
about $50 men to operate it, all who
board at one house, fitted up in excel
lent style tor that purpose.

Crawford County Poor.

The Union notices that proposals
are to be received by the Crawford
County County Supervisors for two
or three hundred acres of land adapt>
ed for County farm whereon the
poor are to be supported, in manner
similar to the method in Grant Co.
The Lafayette county supervisors
are also visiting the county farms OF
Grant and other counties in view OF
of adopting the same system.
We announce as certainty that
no better method than the one in
present use and for many years in
Grant County can be excelled for its
| efficacy, cheapness and satisfaction
to the poor and to the public. Fol-
years and especially since Mr.. Hal
bert has been the superintendent we
have not heard an objection, aud
what is lust as significant of salts
faction we have not heard q word
| one way or another, good or bad
the presumption therefore is, that the
Grant County method is perfect, OIL
so near so that no fault is found
which is remarkable indeed, as almost
everything of public kind even di
vine government itself, is criticised
by the universal grumblers.
We observe, however, that as il
all matters of public charge, every.
thing as to efficiency depends upor
the Superintendent in charge. AnC
it so happens that in Grant County
Mr.. Halbert and his family are ex-
actly fitted for the charge of man
aging the poor. Under his prede
cessors, worthy and devoted as they
may have been, there was consider
able grumbling.
