PROGRESS OF THE NORTH WIS
CONSIN RAILROAD.

CONSIN hi ILhOI II.
From our St. Croix exchanges,
we gather the following items in re-
lation to the alI-important North
Wisconsin Il. r., so vigorously hew-
ing its way, from the rich agricul-
tural districts of the st. Croix val
ley, through the wilderness, to an
outlet on Lake Superior.
From the St. Croix Republican, 2sth.
Quite a number of the officers
and stockholders Of the North Wis
consin Railroad, left here on Tues
day morning for ten day trip up
the line of the road. They will
look over the lay of the land at and
about Shell Lake.
BY this evening upwards of
ten miles of iron north of this place
will be spiked down on the line Of
the North Wisconsin Railroad.
The first switch out will be on the
land Immediately west of the Deer
Park. We suggest that that sta
ton be named Deer Park.
Good news for Polk county.
TIE iron on the North Wisconsin
will reach Polk county, on section
80, town 80, range l6, by noon to-
day.
The right-of-way on the North
Wisconsin has been secured for the
first forty miles, with the exception
of across the old Dutch hunter 5
land, in northern Cylon. It is rare
that unreasonable opposition is met
with in securing the right Of way,
however one or two men have been
encountered vino wanted a hun
dred dollars an acre for poor wild
land, for the privileges of daily
mail and express, and in fact TOR the

ton of the glory and excellence OF
" our grand position" other lines OF
travel have been opened which are
now taking the trade of this western
country away from this route.
Suppose the money that has been
wasted on worthless dykes and break
waters ON magnificent wharves,
emigrant houses, hotels and other
establlshments-on extravagant Off
cials, official staffs, and in the ex-
pensive and ruinous contrivances to
negotiate bonds and raise means for
the "two railroads." had been saved
and laid out oil this eastern exten-
sion? And suppose you add to the
fund, all the money that has been
expended in manipulating and dig
ging the Daluth canal-conceived
and carried out in rank fraud and
injustice to the town Of Superior
and that all the money that has
been used in defeating the St. Croix
land grant, and other efforts on our
part to build railroads into Superior,
and on southwark and eastward.
had been saved and put to the use
for which Duluth now oroans. And
suppose again the joint efforts and
good will Of people of both sides
had all along cOoperated to get ont
of this cui de sac, and on as far east,
south and in all directions, as we
could, instead Of being thwartpd or
baked in every attempt on our part
to get on, this would have had an
additional effect, whose equivalent
would not be less than all the money
squandered and misapplied in the
ways before mentioned.
Superior could then have had her
railroads, and there would have
been Il multiplication of energy and
power at the head Of the lake, whose
influence and impact would have
told ipcaIculably upon the fortunes
of both communities on each side of
the bay.
But the opportunity is now sus-
pended or in abeyance The way
to the seaboard lies through various
principalities, states, dominions, and
first Wisconsin. The railroad com
panies are not in good odor in Wis
consin. What rights, or whether
they have any rights of a determin-
ed and fixed character, is not set
tied. Until these questions are put
at rest by some unalterable law, cap
italists will not invest their money
in Western railways. You can't
guaranty good dividend" is what
is the matter now, and the Herald
writer when he affirms the other
way, draws upon confidence which
is the illusion of his own anxiety.
We see no other way than to
wait and work, until the Lake Supe-
rior transit develops its peculiar
strength and resources, which are
great, and then and in the mean
time, unite the forces on this East
ern extension, earnestly, fairly and
without clrcumVentlon.

In his address to the Green
County Grangers, a few weeks
since, Governor Taylor stated that
the Milwaukee g St. Paul Railroad
Company could have paid last year
from their earnings all operating ex-
penses, repairs, taxes, interest on
their bonds, &c, aud would then
have been able to make a dividend
of over per cent. on all their stock.
This estimate was on the assumed
cost of the road OF s37, 800 per
mile. 1t is claimed by others well
informed on this subject that had he
said the company could have paid

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE IN GRAIN
PRICEs.-It is curious fact that the
price of the three staple grains.
wheat, corn, and oats, is, pound for
pound, almost the same. AS we
write, on Sep. 25th, wheat is worth,
in Chicago, 97@99 cents-at so
pounds to the bushel, l 9-30th
cents per pound. Corn was worth
50 centS-at 56 pounds to the bush
ell, 13-2Sth cents per pound
Oats brought 3 cents-at 80 pounds
to the bushel, l9-32ds cents per
pound.
The difference between the price
of wheat and corn per pound is
thus only about one-sixth Of a cent !;
between corn and oats, one-eighth
of a cent; and between wheat and
corn per pound is thus only about
one-siXth of a cent; between corn
and oats, one-eighth of a cent and
between wheat and oats. the differ
ence is only one twenty-tifth of a
cent per pound Western Rural.

The National board of Under

United States, are about to with
draw their agencies from Chicago,
and decline taking any further fire
risks in that city. The same insur-

immense loans of money on Chicago
real estate, which may also be
withdrawn. This will be severe
blow to Chicago, but all may still
be averted, ii the demands Of the
underwriters that the city shall be
better protected against fire, are
complied with.
