ABOUT PLANTING Trees.

u
We would call the attention Of Pre-
enptors snd others to the recent act
Of Congress passed March Sd 1873,
granting quarter section Of land to airy
person who will plant and keep in =
growing condition, forty acres Of tim.
Der, the trees thereon being not more
than IL feet apart each way, and also
an Act Of the Legislaturs Of this State
granting 6o'ss. Of 500 per acre,
from the State for 10 years, and $500
aa acre from the county for 10 years,
commencing three years from date Of
planting. This season is very favor.
able for Obtaining seed, the maple,
box-elder, and elm trees along the Min
nesota and other rivers, are loaded
with seed, and ws viii guarantee the
seed can be furnished for $500 to
plant 10 acres. Thee Commissioner Of the
General Land Office, has prescribed that
persons making an entry under this
Act shall plant the 40 acres within a
year from the date Of entry.
The easiest and best way We know
Of, is for parties making such claims to
break two furrows twelve feet apart
this season, and plant their seed as
they would sod-corn. Next season
break two farrows more, or al Of the
tract, and ~ soon as the land has been
well subdued, plant cottonwood, !, white
willow, lombardy poplar, silver maple,
and other trees of the same nature, by
setting out cuttings as thick as desired.
In this way it will not cost . person
over $50 to s35 the first season, to
plant the trees, and comply with the
law. BY an estimate il will be readily
seen that the above amount will fully
cover all necessary expense for the
first year. and after 3 years, the income
from the State and county will enable
them to plant and cultivate more trees
If desired.
Pre-. emptors who are not prepared
to pay for their lands, had better avail
themselves Of the law Immediately, as
there can be but one quarter taken in
= section under this Act, and the first
application will cut of all others in the
section. There seems to be no limit
to the quantity Of land, person can
enter under this law. Pa. ties living
on pre-emptions claims, should attend
to their interest At once, or they may
be deprived OF this privilege, hy
non-residents coming in and entering
all the lands that can be obtained un.
der this Act. There is also another
under this law, the lands
are not taxable for 13 years, while
under the pre-emptiou law, they are
taxable from date Of proof in the
Land Office.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF TIE
SUPREME COURT.


The Suit in the Supreme court,
involving the question % to whether
the Legislature has the right to 6x
the maximum rates Of freights aud fares
which Railroads may charge in this
State has At last ended and the decis.
ion is adverse to the position taken
by the Railroad CO. The Legislature
Of 1871, passed law specifying par.
ticular rates that may b charged for
transporting passengers and freight,
and providing penalties for it, violation
by any company. This salt was brought
to test the constitationality Of the Law
and and IN agreement was entered
into BY the parties to the suit, pat
ting aside al other questions. J. D.
Blake & Go Of Rochester rendered to
the Winona and St. Peter Co. for
certain goods carried over the road.
the rate Of freights prescribed by the
law, whica the company refused and
Blake / Co. brought suit in Replevin
to recover the goods. The District
court Of Olmsted county in which the
suit w.s brought decided in favor Of
the r. r. Co. An appeal vas taken
to the Supreme court, and it has re-
versed the decision Of the Court be-
low. The decision Is very impor-
taut one to both the railroad oompa.
nies and the people. Tho principle
settled is that the people, through their
Legislature have the right to limit the
rates of fare aud freight on all roads
in the State, subject only to one condi-
ton that thew must be REASONABLE"
and that the Supreme court will
adjudse upon appeal to It.

In 1876 the Sisseton aud Wahpetou
tauds Of Sioux Indians signed treaty
granting the government the right to
run wagon roads and railroads througd
their territory. The Northern Pacific
has been constructed partially through
tho territory Of these Indians. While
thay have not objected to this they
have claimed that the letter Of the
treaty should be observed and that no
settlements should be allowed along
the line. To remove this objection it
became necessary to make another
treaty to permit settlements, and Hon.
James Smith, Jr., Rev, NJ, N. Adams
and Major Forbes we're delegated to
secure it. Mr., Smiths return, with
the task successfully completed, was
announced in Saturdays DlsrArcu.
The following are the boundaries Of
the territory ceded:

the source thereof bv the most westerly
point of Devils Lake to the Chiefs
Bluff at the head Of Jrmcs river. On
the north by James river to the mouth
of Moccasiu river, thence to kampes-
IA Lake. They cede also alltdeir land
in the Territory Of Dakato except the
following, which are reserved a. per-
manent reservations, to be divided into
farms and homessteads for the Indians:

Lake Traverse, thence along the treaty
line Of 1851 to Kampeska Lake; thence

OUR VACATION,

It did seem - It the mud would come
out ahead but 40 We had the best
pair Of horses in Redwood aad the
"pluckiest" driver, We did make out
to get there safe and sound, but a
little 'isoiled." We went down to St.
Paul On the train with conductor G. A.
Cavendsr, when We must recommend
~ the most agreeable and attentive
conductor We ever met on any road,
and long may he ''swisg around the
circle" We found everything -four.
ishing in Wisconsin, notwithstanding
the lass spring The rains Of the
last week are just the right thing in
the right time, they are bringing the
crops and grass up, bringing the logs out
for the lumbermau, and making boat
ing on tue Minnesota splendid. We
started for home Friday, hopeing to
see Redwood Saturday, but found We
had got iato St. Paul on holiday and
could do no business it was ''decora-
ton day" and We Joined the crowd
and went out to SEQ the soldiers, here
the speeches aud music, and do our
little oil to honor the memory of our
noble dead; many parts Of the city
we're beautifully decorted, there were
. great many soldiers and fireman out
and the music was very. sadly be autifal.
Saturday We did our business, and just
night went on board the Steamer
Osceola, and gave ourself up to en-
joymeut, and We wers not disappoint-
ed. The Osceola has the most social
and accommodating officers, and crew
that has been our good fortune to N eet
Captain Thimens and Mr.. Macy, Clerk
make every effort to have the time
pass pleasantly. The Captains vi fe
came on board At Henderson and she

ing the summer on the boat, added
much to the social pleasure of the
trip. The table was we'll spread, and
bountifully provided, the cooking was as
delicate 40 can be found in our FIRST. class
hotels, and steward aud walters were
attentive. Freights were carefully
haudled and, delivered in good shape
aud without any scolding and swearing
as is usual by boatman.
Now is the time for pleasure.seekers
to take trip, aud the Osceola is the
boat, and Minnesota the river to take
it on. The idea Of gliding along in the
midst Of heavy forest, and wild fruit
trees in full bloom, with grape vines
climbing to the very top and dropping
in graceful festoous so near in some
places, that you can grasp them from
the deck, then . cheerful outlook on
the beautiful farms with inviting look.
iog dwellings,, then another change to
the wonderful bluffs and rocks for
which the Minnesota and Redwood
rivers are famous, is . pleasant one.
the realization Is delightful On Tues.
day evening We gave our good bye to
the officers and crew Of tho Osceola
With regret, and now for work again. We
hope to move our Office in few days
to our new quarters where ws shall
be prepared to Gil al orders in our
line Of business.

CHINESE TRADE.
AmerIoan sbIppina in ne Far FasI

AmerIcAh SnhppiH8 IN tno keaE EAsts
The exports and imports of the Chinese
Empire in 1871 were valued at $3.50, Q00,-
600; and of this, Great Britain and her
colonies exported to or imported from
China, sos, 100000, or ven-eighths of
the whole amount The Chinese trade
with the United States WAS but $4,000,
000l This is rather q small figure
for the United States, but, small though
it be, it is an increase aon3 the previous
year. The only satisfaction in the Stats
tics of the China trade of this country
lies in the fact that, within the last half
dozen years, they, show o steady advance.
1t hardly justifes however, the apprehen-
sion of the British Secretary of Legation
at Pekin, who writes home to his govern
ment that we are likely to become the
most formidable competitor Of England
in Chinese tradela His alarm, we ought
to say, is partly based on other
grounds. A largelI share Al. of the
British Chinese trade is actually
conducted in American vessels. Thus,
in 1871, when We only compared with
England in the volume ,of, trade in the
ratio of one to eleven. the American ton
mage engaged incarrying the trade inear-
ly equalled the English, our tonnags
being S,1S7,643 and, the English tonnage
1880, $751; Reversing the marine rp1e
prevalent everywhere else, in the China
seas we. can compete oast carriers on an
equal footing With England. The greater
portion Of the American tonnage that is
engaged in foreign trade is found in tho
Pacific and Indian Oceans, where it il
still able 70 find lpcTatiye employment.
