THE ST. CLOUD BRANCHES,

A communication, clipped from The
st. Paul Pioneer, and re.published or
this page, will give some idea as to the
views outsiders take Of the Importance
of the st. Cloud Branches of the St.
Paul and Pacific Railroad-soon to be.
come the property Of the Northern Pa.
ei6o-and the irauence they will have
on the prosperity Of this city. The
one will be virtually, during one-hal1
Of each year, the main line of the
Northern Pacific, aud will yield to St.
Cloud the advantages resulting from
tho possession Of a great trunk liue o,
that character. Commerce and manu-.
features Of all kinds will double and
treble within year after its coustruc-
ton. Population which, with only such
advantages as the country naturally a.
fords, has increased in the most un-
precedented manner, will be augmented
still:more rapidly with the construction
Of these lines. A bright future is in
store for St. Cloud aud Northern Min.

A similar calculation for the nine
principal counties tributary to the main
line shows an increase in the same
period Of titled area Of 81 per cent.
The increase in acres of cultivated
land for the whole State having only
been "a per cent, We derive from
these e cures the sure and unmistak-
able proof that the development Of the
country along the lines Of the St. Paul
& Pacific railroad is greater and more
rapid than that Of any other part of
the State Of the same extent.
The United States have established
three land Offices in this part of Min
ne"ot.. They ara a. T.;tchfeld on the
main line, at St. Cloud and at Alexan-
dria On the extension of the branch
line. At these Offices there we're sold
or otherwise disposed of to actual SET
tiers, during the year 1870, &c. 03.4o
acres, being more than half Of the
whole amount of government lands dis
posed Of in the entire State. =.
The present season bids fair to out
rival even the year 1870. Returning
from a trip to several places in the
Sank Valley, I met on the road an. al.
most continual string Of teams with
persons Of all nsticnalities, directed to
Becker, Otter Tail, Douglas and other
counties along the extension of the
branch line and the grand trunk road
Of the Northern Pacific. There is q
great deal of excitement about that part
of Minnesota, AID we'll 10 it deserving
the reputation it is gettingat home

more extensive trip through that coun.
