More Of the Drive in the Country a0ith Jottings
By the Way.-Lost in the Woods.
At about five p. m. we left what is known
as Roscoe Center, in Goodhue Co. The road
took us across the fields, the sleighing was
good but the weather cold; being bundled
up to keep off the cold, we missed the road
and soon found ourselves in the midst of
the woods, and yet being on we'll beaten
wood road we were unsuspicious Of any
thing wrong. The sun had gone down, the
moon shown forth in the fullness of its
beauty, the snow in its unstainei purity
gave back the mild light, the forest trees
stood up straight and tall and round like
perfect pillars in temple builded by the
Master Architect of the Universe. Our
thoughts were full of the quiet beauty and 81
lent grandeur Of the scene about US, and with
the wise and bene6cent provisions of the
Great All Father who had SO wisely provid-
ed these woods to afford shelter and warmth
for his children. Then in ou: thoughts we
looked in upon the many family circles
gathered around the home hearth, made
warm and happy by the mysterious destruc-
tion Of some of the trees that but the day
before stood up in all their strength and
beauty in this forest. How past under
standing are some Of the processes Of nature.
Such is FIRE. and yet how dependent upon
this is the happiness and the very existence
of man. Our thoughts were lost in mys-.
terry, and here our road ended in pile Of
brush. where . tree had been cut and
hauled away, and We we're lost in the
woods, miles from any human habitation.
What should ve do! try to ind some new
way through this, to us unknown forest, and
thus reach our destination !? This 10 very
often the course pursued BY mon whs find

fres 81 which we had been thinking, and
Il the norniag, though no nearer our destii-
nation than whom No entered the xroye IS
the evening, We had tie satisfaction 81
knowing that We we're On the right road. j
At Sss@9s= Ts
ssts =. II PINE ISLAND. 'sE1sss5 81
we visited the school building which is sit
uated in the east part Of the village, il Of
brick two stories high We found Mr.. G..
W. Paige in charge Of the higher grade Of
the school, q position that he has held for
the. past four years. There are two de-
partments, the higher embracing those in
the Fourth Reader classes, under the charge
Of Mr.. Paige, with an enrolment Of 60 pu-
pills, and the lower. all under the Fourth
Reader, taught by Mrs. Castle, with an en-
rollment Of IS, making 125 enrolled in the
school. Pine Island is situated on the mid
die branch of the Zumbro, 80 miles from
Red Wing and twelve miles from Rochester,
just at the edge Of an extensive tract Of
timber land, more extensive than. we had
thought. She has three mills, one small
saw mill and two Touring mills. In the
saw mill yard we found quite number of
logs ready to be worked into lumber the
coming season. The larger of the two
grist mills is run by steam. 1t was original
ly built by Tarbox, Jewell & Collins in
1869, is three stories high, 40x5O feet
The mill is now owned by Tarbox & Hay
ward, and has been operated for the past
four months by Hubbard, Wells & Co.,
whose lease expires the first of May
There have been ground at this mill of the
crop of 1878, 9,4OO barrels of flour, be-
sides between three and four thousand bar
rels of middlings which have been taken
to the Zumbrota Mills, operated by the
same firm, and ground over into patent,
fancy -four. Tarbox Haywood bought
this mill three years ago and have since
considerably improved it.
The Touring mill of J. K. Wyman l. Son
is situated lower down on the stream, and
is water mill. This mill was originally
owned by John Schober, the present own
ers having purchased the same the 1st Of
Nov, 1873. The mill does very extensive
exchange business, exchanging -four for
wheat. The mill is two stories above the
basement in which is feed run. There are
two -four runs, with capacity of from SIS to
go barrels per day. The building is 24x36
feet, and the present proprietors propose to
increase the size Of the mill the coming sea-
son by an addition 1896 feet, and to make
other improvements adding one more -four
run
In the immediate vicinity of Pine Island
are some very fine farms among these on
the road toward Red Wing we noticed the
farm Of Daniel Dickey, furnished with q
fine residence, and good barns, better in
style and finish than is often found in the
older states.

trsl tho road. He wss tired of this idea 81
voting bounties 70 roads 70 be owned odd
operated 81 and in the interest Of foreign
corporations, who have no interest IN the
country through which the rosd passes. ~
They had little experience 1t Faribault
ofa road built and owned BY : foreign corr
poration. He wanted to see this road built
snd operated by the towns benefited bv
the road. II they owned the road they
would be represented by their supervisors
and they could control the road in the in.
terests Of the people. He had estimated
the amount Of wheat raised in the section
Of the country accommodated by the road
at four million bushels per annum, and he
believed that after the road was built and
paid for the income therefrom would pay
the current expenses of the towns throug gh
which it passed. The towns could issue
bonds for which they would receive paid
up stock.
He would not have the road mortgaged,
but would have the towns held alone for
the payment Of the bonds so that there
might be no possibility of the ownership of
the road passing from the towns. If he
understood the object Of the Oranges, this
was just such road as they wanted, a
road owned and controlled by the people.
Mr.. Frink was followed by Mr. Campbell
OF Chester, who represented the people of
his town as strongly in favor of the road
Mr. Dow, of Chester, alluded to the objec-
tion raised by some farmers, that after the
road was built the river markets would still
give more than could be got on the road.
He claimed that this could not be true, as
most of the points on the railway would be
as near the Eastern markets as are now the
best river markets. He further spoke of
the risks Of having such large quantities of
wheat together in the hands of few par
ties, both from fire and from the possibility
of dishonesty among warehousemen.
DR.. Mullen, representing the Board of
Trade of Faribault, was called out, said
that his ride and jolting over the prairies
from Faribault had given him the rheuma-
tism, and he did not feel very good hu-
mored, nor in speaking mode; if he ever
came to Zumbrota again, he would come in
the cars
Nearly all the speakers were heartily
cheered, showing an earnest sympathy with
the sentiments expressed. The tide of
feeling was, evidently, all one way, and
came as near being love feast as a rail-
road meeting is capable of being all being
agreed as touching the one thing, and in
love with the idea of railroad. There is
evidently very strong feeling among
farmers in favor of doing something that
will make the marketing of their products
a less arduous task.
After the close Of the meeting some sub
scriptions to stock were taken, and in the
evening meeting Of stockholders was
held, at which the following officers were
elected: J. A. Thacher, President; W. s.
Walton, Sec; H. Wilson, Treas;
Board Of Directors: H. Wilson and H.
E. Barrell, Faribault; A. Hilton, Kenyon
J. A. Thacher, Zumbrota B. s. Dow, Ches-
ter; W. s. Walton and Judge Vandyke,
Wabasha.
