VOLUME 3.
ALONG THE LAKE SHORE


| Just look at it. Commence with Sault
Ste lNarie. The ship canal is rapidly being
enlarged, and yet more is to be done on
that very important work in the future.
This, and the cash expended by Ft. Brady,
will make the village lively and prosperous
for some time. Marquette, of course, is
steadily growing, and with the enlarging at
the Sault, will soon have at her docks the
heaviest ships that float the lakes, taking on
loads to their fullest capacity. By next
winter she will be in all rail communication
with Chicago. LAnse must not be forgot
ten with her docks, mill privileges, railway
and sudden growth. Next comes the dual
city on Portage Like Copper is reviving,
the Calumet and Heckla spouting a steady
stream Of the cold red lava, and other mines
beginning to follow suit. Here the Miner
al Range railway is Oh the tapis, and will
soon be on the ties. The Lake Shore rail
road under different name, is also ap-
preaching the Portage, while the grand
shortcut ship-canal is fast opening to navi-
CATION, bringing Hancock and Houghton
into full alignment with other ports.
Oatonogon now heaves in sight with her
revived copper commerce, prospect of hem
lock extract factories, and golden and sill
yer prospects too, not to mention the Lake
shore connection, the Oshkosh railroad,
and the fact that this port will soon be the
terminal point for a line of steamers; and
last but not least, a river harbor improved
by the Z. S. Government sufficiently to
dredge its own navigable chute Now we
make the Apostle Islands, and steaming in
at the South channel, below the Madeline,
round Chegwamegon Point, and tie up
down at Ashlu3a3 dock Here is the
youngest city of the Lake, cutting streets
and laying sidewalks through the. forests,
building houses in the woods, pushing dock
after dock into the bay, spiSing down the
rails, bridging rivers, and sending her
namesake locomotive whistling south to
pass the Iron range, and meet the tracklay-
ers that are coming north through the will
derness We come back to BoYfeld the
Gem of the Isles, and Fountain City of the
Upper Lakes, full Of happy tourists, and
busy with the big steamers that by three
channels seek her Island harbor, and CON
venient dock. A seven hours run carries
Us to D,loth and Superior. The first busy
in all the glory of a young city with great
transfer trade, and the second waiting
calmly and contidentially on her beautiful
harbor, for the mammoth development that
will be demanded at the head of Lake Su-
perior, when the Northern Pacific strikes
the Western Sea, and rings under the com
merce of the globe

AGRICULTURAL ITEjIS.

A farmer named Charles King, living
twenty miles this side Of Glyndon, Mimi,
has ripened field of Ohio corn that was
planted just before June. Is our climate
G. too cold for cawn."
&C. w. Britt Of Becker Co., Mimi,
raised 400 bushels of wheat on 20 acres OF
ground this year, also 500 bushels Of corn
on 10 acres
Frost occurred in Ohio week or ten
days before it was noticed lii the Lake Su-
peror region this year. Ice was visible i'll
Indiana on the Goth of August For warm
weather, and growing seasons, farmers
must come to the Northwest.
A little beet weighing only seventeen
pounds appeared at the Mimi State Fair
this week 1t came from the Northern
Pacific belt of land. Beat it who can.
-Forty-four bushels to the acre is the
wheat Weld at Monticello, on the Upper
Mississippi.

The Chicago Raiiacdy Recie'c, noting
the fact that the hurricane deck of the
Metis, Hippocampus and other wrecked
steamers became detached, and t1oated,
supper ing a number of passengers, sensiby
SUGGESTS that the hurricane deck OF steam
ers be hereafter constructed with special
view to use as a raft in case Of need; that
it have air chambers in its beams, and be
strong enough to withstand the surf. v Ill
builders of lake boats make a note OF The
excellent advice? 1t will prove paying
investment.
Eight propellers and steamers now
give Portage Lake the go by. The new
ship canal will change all this, and all the
prope.lers will go by way of Portage Lake.
Many sailors on lake craft are old salts.
Strange as it may seem to the romantic
mind, sailors are influenced by pecuniary
considerations. They ship on the lake for
the sake of higher wages They prefer a
life on the ocean wave only in winter when
the lake wave does not pay.

Y0UR Duty is 4 CITIZEN

1t is your duty as citizen to work for
the interests of the place, as well as for
your own interests. 1t is your duty as a
citizen to improve your property, pay your
taxes, do your share, give your quota, set
an example, back up men Of enterprise and
public spirit, and agree With your neigh
bors on questions affecting the growth OF
the place, unless you have reasons of the
very first magnitude for disagreeing 1t Is
your duty as citizen to see the laws en-
forced, frown down ruffianism of all de-
grees, help train the rising generation at
home, at school, and on the street 1t is
your duty as citizen to be willing to be
among the leaders in all enterprises of plth
and moment, especially if hard work and a
little personal pluck is required; and es
pecially is it your duty to kick any fellow
who argues that all men are consummate
scoundrels because he is, and that all dirty
work is lawful that will bring a dollar.

4 LITTLE MISTAKE.

A writer in the Milwaukee Neacs Of Sep
tember Is, makes what was evidently in
tended to be telling onslaught on the Hon.
S. III. Clough of this place, for the crime OF
being Grant man while finding fault with
the niust determinations of Grants Secre-
taries against this important harbor and
site AS the Superior TINES is not a Grant
organ at last advices, we feel free to say,
though without Judge Clough's knowledge,
and doubtless without his consent, that the
little attack of the Neacs is very uncalled
for, and can work no manner OF good to
Wisconsin interests on Lake Superior. OF
which the Vers affects to be so earnest a
champion. 1t strikes us that the Judge has
right to follow out his ancient political
convictions if he chooses so to do, and he is
probably one of the last men anyhow, who
can be whipped into the traces by the edi-
toria cat 20 -nine-tails of either party.
We may say, also, that there are two
stand. One is why a Greeley paper" trusts
it will hear no more criticisms on Grants
administration from u Grant man. We
should think such criticism were capital
campaign material, and that very dull
apprehension which could not see the point,
and a very poor political manager who
would not improve it 20 the utmost, instead
of throwing it away to spite one voter, and
not spite him to any great extent. Anoth-
er mystery is why if it be "of the least pos
sible consequence whether Judge Clough
supports Greeley or Grant for President, !"
and ono particular Importance attaches to
the event. that the Neacs should waste a
quarter column of good type in magnifying
the matter Let us have peace. Selah.

SION RIT SURE.

It is an old rule of natural philosophy
that what is gained in velocity is lost in
power. Something of the same kind is true
of towns. A forced growth does not pay
Extensive advertising, heavy expenditures,
building by the block, may gather multi
tain sort of business, but unless farming,
manufac turing, mining or wholesale trad
ing keep pace with the so-calied improve
ments, there will be reaction as surely and
naturally as the tide ebbs after the flow.
All this risk of future failure in the case
of towns having forced growth, is greatly
increased if the site be not one that is nat
urally advantageous, and that not onl on the
map, but to the travellers and tourists eye
And while any town may suffer, as Superb
or has by the forced growth of 1857, and
the temporary and incidental business ex
ctement Of 1869, yet it remains truth
that a site in the natural paths of commerce,
at ''the meeting Of the ways" must devel-
opf into a business centre as surely as time
rolls on It's past failures are explained by
the very evident truth that they were the
natural result Of attempting to gather a
population, without agriculture, mining or
manufacturing, in town without railroad.
Had we q railway, one branch of business
might be Immediately undertaken by capi-
tai and its combinations, namely the whole
sale trade. But while remaining without
rail communication even this is cut off, and
the expectation Of seeing a business growth
is for the time of such delay, preposterous,
unless there are combinations tor farming,
manufacturing or mining at once.
In brief, the assembling Of a number of
people, and the building of number of
houses does not constitute cuisines" in
any place And if we would see business
in Superior, we must take the legitimate
steps for that object. As things are in this
climate and peculiar section, the first es-
sential is a railway connection. Then the
securing a wholesale business by the proper
capital, agents and efforts Then the active
advocacy and fostering Of all the ordinary
branches of manufacture especially In iron
and wood. Farming, by necessity, Will be
last and slowest. Mining must be for a
time in allegiance. But any sort of organ
lied effort or practical combination, will
line our streets with wholesale houses of
good capacity, when once we have, as we
expect to have, IN advantageous connection
with the railway system of the great " est.
There are many men who appreciate the
great advantages of locating on such site
as this, and growing with the growth of its
inevitable trade. And when the first trains
begin to move out Of Superior, a day GER
tainly not far distant now, we shall see tie
men who have an eye 70 an advantageous
point for wholesale trading with the West,
moving in, and quietly beginning the in
creasino trade of n life time

P0RT4GELAKE SHIP CANAL.

According 10 the Mining Gazette, the
steamboat Ivanhoe left Portage Lake for
Ontona9on via the new ship canal on the
18th inst We are not told the size and
tonnage of the Ivanhoe, but the Gozette
says she carried both passengers and
freight, and also heads the item An Event
In Our History" SO we are to conclude that
the canal is at last open to navigation
Some work however probably remains to be
done ere the boats of largest size and heav-
lest frelghtaee, can avail themselves of this
short cut. The new route when complete,
will save halt days steaming, besides fur
nshing 4 good harbor Of refuge at one OF
the most exposed and dangerous stretches
of navigation on Lake Superior. Steam
boats can run from Portage Lake to the
Apostle Islands by this route, IN the same
time that was formerly occupied in round
ing keweepaw Point to Ontonagon.
