branch to Bayfield,. Also that 90 miles of
this road shall be built during the first year,
and 40 miles each year thereafter. OF the

below Hudson, and the remaining 80 will!
bring the road up into Polk County by the

PROGRESS or THE NORTHERN PA CLFIC
On Thursday, June 9Th, 1873, the rails
of the Northern Pacific Railroad were laid
as far as Bismarck, at the crossing OF the
Missouri river. This point is 452 miles west
of Lake Superior. The same amount of
road built from the head Of the Lake to-
ward Chicago, would have passed forty
miles beyond it, or have linked the head Of
Lake Superior with the head of Lake Mich
igan, exactly. If built toward the east,
along the south shore of Lake Superior, it
would have reached 70 miles beyond the
Sault Ste Marie.
1t is commentary on the vastness of
the undertaking, to say, that if the whole
l775 miles of road between Lake Superior
and the Pacific, were to be completed only
at the same rate which has marked the
progress of the road to the Missouri river,
it would require till the lst day of January
1882. But we may expect the entire con
structon of the road five or six years soon
er. that is by 1876 or 1877, for the follow
ing reasons.
w. Milnor Roberts, the Chief Engineer,
said in 1869, that the whole road could be
easily built if need be, by 1873. Much
more can the 1928 miles of road now re-
naming be built by 1877, at the outside, as
every finished mile makes a through line
more necessary
The 452 miles built already, was fnan-
cial.y, the most difficult part of the road to
build, as the enterprise was new, bonds un-
sold country unsettled, no great CONNER
cial artery tapped, and the road unremuner-
ative. Bat now the thirty million loan has
been taken, the line Of the road has been
settled and cultivated, thousand miles Of
establi shed east and west navigation on the
upper Missouri connected with the Great
Lakes, thereby tapping the rich Montana

tend westward hereafter, with great rapidity.
In the foregoing statements no account
has been taken of the fact that the road is
also being built from the Pacific end of the
line: that 60 miles is already completed;
that 1900 men are already at work in that
region; that by the summer of 1875 Idaho
Will be reached from the west; that by the
same date Central Montana will be reached
from the east; and that every consldera-
ton will then press upon the Company, and
the country at large, to see that the road is
speedily completed.

the same way at first, or rather the Central

THE DEMAND FOR NANUFA CTURES.

THE DEMAND FOR NANUFA CTURES.
At late meeting of the st. Paul cham
Der of commerce, the committee on manu-
factures reported that Minnesota, Dakota,
large portion of Wisconsin, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Idaho, Montana, and Wash
ington territories, with the valley Of the
Upper Missouri, are all directly and neces-
sarily tributary to st. Paul, and naturally
look to that point to furnish them with a
large portion of the manufactured articles
they require. The present demand does
not begin to be filled, and the requirements
for manufactured articles will be almost be-
yond calculation.
Relying on steam power, Iowa coal at
$3.50 to 1915 per ton, and an unlimited
supply of oak, ash, maple, black walnut and
pine, St. Paul can furnish the whole alpha
bet of manufactured goods in successful
competition with the east.
In view of this state Of things Mr.. Nc
Clung submitted the following resolutions,
which the Chamber voted to consider in
one week:
Resolved That the Committee Mercantile affairs
hereby instructed to report plan OF union for the
merchants of St. Paul for the purpose of enabling
them act together a unit in all matters relating
feghts and transportation, and command the best
possible
Resolved, That if the union of st. Paul merchants
shall be unable break through the combinations and
rings of the transportation monopolies and obtain
reduction of rates. that the policy of this Chamber
will then be to unite with the merchants of other Min
nesota cities and with the farmers and shippers of the
State in State organization having the same objects
in view
If there is such demand as above rep
resented, and no one will deny it, there is
field enough for all the manufactures that
can be started in the Northwest, at Saint
Paul and Minneapolis; at Superior, Du-
luth and Thomson; at Bayfield, and Ash
land. We of the immediate head of Lake
Superior should combine to induce actual
manufacturing firms to settle in this region.
For the next two or three years it matters
little where they settle so it be within ten
miles of the Bay of Superior, on water con-
nection.
Chicago and St. Paul will grind down
the Head of the Lake till we succeed in di-
verting the trade in manufactures as we'll
as in wheat. And one delusion that has

THE -NODOC MASSACRE

The people of the United States were
thrilled with horror last Monday morning,
at the sad intelligence that Maj. Gen E. r.
S. Candy, with three associates, had been
perfdiousjy slain on the 10th inst, while
engaged in treating for peace with little
band of sayages known as the Modocs, who
infest the southern boundary of Oregon.
Gen. Candy was about 56 years Of age, and
had spent his life time in the service Of his
country, as an officer in the regular army
of the United States. AS the assassination
of an officer of the high standing of Gen.
Candy is not to be explained away as a
western exaggeration, we may now hope
that justice against murderers will charac-
terize our future peace policy.
1t may be of interest to our readers to
see an account of the origin and progress
of the Modoc difficulty as given by the
Chicago Tribune We present the article
as condensed by the st. Paul Press of the
10th:
THE MoDOC TROUBLES
first broke out in 1855, in which year com
bination was formed among the Indians of
California, Oregon, and Washington Terri
tory against the government. The war had
no definite result, and, at its close, the In
dians still held their territory unmolested.
From that time until 1866, the Modocs
were unfriendly to the government. In the
latter year a treaty was submitted to them,
and it was discussed until 1871, in which
year reservation was set apart for them
with the Klamaths, in the southern part of
Oregon. A portion of the tribe settled on
the reservation, but the remainder, under
the leadership of Captain Jack, the mur-
derer of General Candy, refused to move.
Subsequently, the treaty was submitted to

es under which they suffer. Bradlaugh, a
notorious infdel, has done something for
them; Sir Charles Dixie, gentleman of
standing and wealth has helped on the
movement; Joseph Arch, Methodist
preacher has however, done the most for
them. He has prevented foolish strikes
and riots which their enemies strove to
provoke; he has organized cooperative as
sociations which have given the movement
permanence, and success. The motto now
is s'our rights or we emigrate to America"
But the stubborn nobility refuse their rights,
and they are preparing to emigrate en-
naasse. Yeovil from which the 1000 come,

The Bozeman Ayant Courier says that
Judge HiIger of Helena, Montana, is of

tries ofNorthern Europe, if reasonable rates
for passengers are obtained. Judge Hilger

received a reply in which Superintendent
Hibbard says:

The Eau Claire Free Press states that
Senator M. P. Lindsey of Green Bay, zone
of the most reliable real estate operators in
the wes,," is preparing pamphlet for Eu-
ropean circulation, concerning the desira-
bleness Of the Chippewa Valley, and North
Wisconsin generally, as place for settle
ment The Press thinks it must have
benefcent influence in attracting capital
and emigration this way We do not
doubt it. All Europe is now just ready to
favor the grand movement of emf grafton to
America, and looking at the network of
railways projected into Northern Wiscon-
sin, including the St. Croix roads, Chippe-
wa road, Wisconsin Central, Northern Pa
cifc Extension, South Shore road, Green
Bay and Lake Pepin, Chicago and n. p,
Oshkosh and Ontonagon, and others be-
ginning to take shape, we are justified in
expecting to see Northern Wisconsin alive
with a busy population, manufacturing and
mining towns, and thickly settled farming
communities in few short years.
