deucy to induce immigration 10 the con-
trail and eastern towns. thus bringing
wealth and hardy settlers. Every pair
Of strong hands that could grapple with
the '.giauts of the forest" has been equal
to some thousands Of dollars In capital.
That the country as whole, is an ex
celleut place for laboring men to settle
in, i. evident from the fact of general
prosperity. The opportunity for SO great
variety of business and different occu
paiions, can scarcely be equsied by any
county OF its size. either in this state or
Minnesota. We have good prairie for
those who may prefer h-good timbered
lands fer those who prefer farms in the
woods, aud any quantity of timber for
numbering or manufacturing purpose,
with good water everywhere, and host
of water power to drive any amount Of
machinery. Add to this the fact that
ours is a genial and heaIthful climate
as that of any part Of the globe in the
same latitude, and il must be conceded
that who came hither must be difficult to
suit if they cannot find a location, bust
ness or trade to suit their Inclination
Yet many who come viii go away again,
and for the very best Of reasons. They
have friends elsewhere-they may have
brought with them diseases which are
aggravated instead of relieved, and they
may have = rowing disposition which for
bids their being contented anywhere.

The st. croiz and Superior Railroad.

Notwithstanding the bitter opposition
met by the friends of this road, from the
Chippewa Valley folks. resolution was
adopted at the last Republican Congress
sionaI district convention, recognizing
strongly the necessity Of this road and
favoring the re granting of the lands for
the purpose of building it. Some sore
heads in the Chippewa Valley are inclin
ed TO create disturbance and by engen.
dering hostility to this road, get grant
for the Chippewa Valley road. We fear
that their protests and populations will
come to nought, as throughout the north
west the absolute necessity Of, and wide
benefits TO be conferred by the construc-
ton of this road is unanimously conced
ed, and unless our entire northwestern
delegation prove false to their pledges the
grant will be extended. Tdylors Falls
