The second threshing report we hsvere
ceived comes from Messrs. Pitts :, Moore,
of Clifton, and is, in substance, as fol-
lows: They threshed lI,o5o bushels Of
wheat; 1000 bushels of oats, and els
bushels of barley. There were $50 acres
wheat, average Isl bushels per acre;
lsO acres oats, average 391 bushels per
acre; 81 acres barley, average 29t bush
els per acre. Length of tbreshing sea-
son 81 days. The foregoing amount of
grain was tue product of l3 farms,
mostly located in the town of Clifton.
We ask our threshers to send in their
reports at an early day. We would like
to have one from every machine that
has threshed in Pierce county this season.
If we can get them all we can ar
rive nearer to the total amount of grain
raised than by any other method. Send
in your figures.

Which Is Right?

We have made three or four attempts
to publish the correct census Of this coun-
ty. In the first place we took the pop
ulation from the Milwaukee parpers,
which professed TO get it from U. S.
Marshal Han;Iton's office, and the fig
ures were 1854. Assistant Marshal
Dickinson pronounced this statement an
error, and handed us the footings of the
several towns as as we published them
last week, which gave us total popula
ton of lO,OS4. Now we find table
published IN the Milwaukee Wisconsin,,
placing our population at 1905.
As the original returns have been
filed in the office of the clerk Of the cour:
we suggest that friend Brown take some
leisure hour, and give US new count.

So. Paul and Chicago Road.

Another era in the railroad history of
Minnesota has been reached, and it is
with more than ordinary feelings of pleas
ure that we this week record the compile
ton of that portion of the ST. Paul Il
Chicago Road, lying between this city
and our sister city of Red Wing, the last
rail on which WAS laid this morning.
The distance by rail from this CITY to
Red Wing is 224 miles. The first rail
on this section of the road was laid on the
23d day of August and deducting delays
on account of grading not completed nd
rainy weather, the track has been laid at
the average rate Of l! miles per day.
We have not rs yet been over any por-
ton OF the road, but learn that the great
er portion of il is already ballasied and
in few days will be ready for the cars.
We have not learned what arrangements
have been made in regard 10 running
trains, but understand that the intention
is 10 run one passenger train day from
Red Wing TO St. Paul, leaving there in
the morning and returning to Red Wing
in the evening. The two daily trains be
tween this city and St Paul will be re-
tanned for the present. Hastings Union

John doubtless feels very much fatter-

But tina: was not the only "unfortu
nate circumstance" connected with the
Rusk campaign in this county.
1t was unfortunate" that, of the four
teen delegates KimbaIl and his man Fri
day were to bring up for Rusk, they
managed, by bard work, to get fire votes.
1t was unfortunate that these political
Stockings could not carry their own town
for Rusk, but ont of the three delegates
elected one was Price man.
1t was unfortunate for Kimball and bis
man Friday to hold secret political eau
cusses on the Sabbath day, in Beldenville,
and now, when the fact is wel-known. it
is very unfortunate for the veracity of
these parasites to so vehemently deny any
leagne with John Dale.
1t was unfortunate for Rusk that his
Herald friends manifested such strong
Ueakness when they got into convention.
1t was unfortunate that Kimball and
his man Friday promised so much and
performed so little.
1t was unfortunate for Friday that he
hadn't votes enough to send him to Spar.
