More .han dozen years ngo, when
we first became acquainted with the ST.
Croix Valley we were confident that II
would eventually become one of the very
richest portions of the State-a very
garden of beauty and wealth, and sue
eeedipg years have confirmed the convic-
ton.
The La Crosse Valley is older in i'm
provement, richer in wealth, with better
buildings, and more of the conveniences
which gather around growing prosperity,
but in the natural elements of wealth, no
section of the State is superior to the ST.
Croix Valley. With soil of remarkable
fertility and endurance, nearly all of
which is available for agricultural pur.
poses, with surface sufficiently varied to
prevent monotony and ensure drainage,
with plenty of valuable timber easily nc
cessible. and laced by clearest streams,
Astounding with water powers, this Val
ley is capable of sustaining dense popu
lation employed in varied and remunera
tive industry. It's towns, Prescott, River
Falls, Hudson, Osceola, and others, are
all healthy, but the country is to day in
advance of the towns. Elegant and com
modious farm houses arc springing up
the cabin Of the early pioneer giving
place to the home Of the prosperous citi.
zen-new lands are fast being subjected
to tillage, and to day the whole Valley is
fragrant WITH clover breath. and rich and
green and beautiful with its Astounding
wealth of vigorous vegetation.
Tho character Of the people too, COM
pares well with the disturbances of their
location. Amid the hurry and neccess.
aiy disorder of early settlement, and the
many imperative demands for money for.
merely material purposes, they have not
forgotten the schoolhouse and the church,
and we do not believe there is anywhere,
East or West, q people with the same
means, who have expended more for
these purposes. This Valley has been,
and is now, nearly entirely dependent up
on wheat, and consequently suffered Sc
verely from the depression of prices dur
ing tho past year, but with the varied in
dustry which is sure to prevail, it will
soon become one of the most pleasant,
prosperous and wealthy portions of The
State. La Crosse Leader.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH!
The Day we Celebrate +!
Preparations for a "Big Time. y

Arrangements for regular old fash
Toned celebration in Prescott are in pro-
gress and being rapidly perfected. The
general programme has been decided
upon and it now only remains to secure
the orator. Correspondence has been
opened with several prominent and elo
quent speakers from abroad, but nothing
decisive as TO any of them has been
reached up to the hour of our going TO
press. Before our next issue, however.
the matter will be fully decided.
The exercises of the day will be enliv
ened by the River Falls Brass Band,
which has engaged to'furnish instrumental
music for the occasion. The public halls
have been secured for dancing purposes,
SO that there will be two dances, we are
informed, and room for all who desire to
attend.
Delegations from River Falls, Ellis
worth, Hudson and Hastings are expect
ed to be in attendance. with banners
flying.
There is not a citizen of Pierce county
but should be able 10 throw off for one
day the cares and burdens of business
life, and enter with zest into the festv.
tiles incident to the celebrating of the
glorious anniversary of our national in
dependence, and all that sort of thing,
you know. Besides, an occasional SUM-
dering of the shackIes that bind us to
tho steady routine of everyday business,
is conducive TO good health, good NOR
ais, good feeling and-goodness.
Let's all turn out the Forth of July
then. Loosen The old American Eagle
Let him flap bis wings and scream for
Joy Come to town and celebrate
hear the Declaration of Independence
read-hear an eloquent orator crate
listen to tho patriotic strains of a good
brass band
'And the vile squeakings OF the wry-neek'd fsfe."

Cuba and the President.

Cuban sympsthisers and lobbyists in
Washington have for a long time been
labcring to get our government: to recog
nize the insurrectionary forces Of Cuba
as beIIigerents. Recognition seemed so
just and its advocates were so jealous
that Congress had begun to view the
matter favorably, and decisive vote
was to have been taken last week. But
on the 18th inst. the President addressed
a message to Congress arguing strongly
against snch recognition. Coming as it
did on the very eve of taking the vote
in the house; and being so emphatic in
the argument that there are not those
elements in the contest sufficient to soon
sii:ute war in the international sense of
the laws" and as many of the most
prominent congressman were favorable
to recognition-the message has very nat.
urally created sensation with consider
able bitterness toward the President on
the part of a few members. 1t has prob.
ably effected all that was expected of it
however, and the insurrectionists will
have to wait yet l;tile longer for recog-
milton.
The democrats throughout the coun-
try are clutching fran,ically at this straw
thrown out 10y political eddy. hoping
and pray ing that it NAV prove the en-
Iering wedge to a split between the chief
executive and Congress. Let them be
d;luded by the vain hopa--for vain it
will be proved BY tie future actions of
those who guide the ship of state.

The Hastings & Dakota Railroad.

For some months pas conflicting re-
ports have been in circulation in regard
To The salo of the Hastings d Dakota
Railroad. Dame Rum ", has several
times had it sold 70 different companies,
hut in each case these reports have proved
erroneous, and the road still remains the
property of the original company. 1,
has for some time been apparent howev-
CT, that this company is not in condi-
ton financially 20 push forward the con-
struclion Of the road with the vigor that
should characterize the builjin. Of SO
impOrtau! a line, and this impression has
undoubtedly gained force FROM the fact
That the company has endeayored TO ef-
feet a sale Of the road. Gen. G.. w.
LeDuc, Presii,nt Of the company, on
being interviewed 10y St. Paul repor-
ter, few days since, said that they had
received offers from parties desiring 10
purchase the road, but none had yet
reached the figures they asked. When
the proper offer is made of course they
will sell. Meanwhile, il is the intention
of the present owners 10 proceed at once
with the building of Is miles farther,
which distance will extend The line west
ward TO the Minnesota river.
What is in the immediate future for
This road can only be conjectured. But
one thing seems clear ard. uucontrovert-
able. And that is, that without an east
ern connection the line viii never at
tain to that Importance which its loca-
ton entities it, or its usefulness demands.
To obtain such connection an outlet will
be sought through Pierce county. Ard
It seems to Us If all available forces are
applied vigorously in the right direction,
the road may at no very distant day be
built.
