at the Harper House, in this city, has
already appeared in THE ARGUS, is fast
becoming one of the largest business COM
panies in the west The company recent
ly purchased $4,000 acres ofthe finest pine
timbered land on the Chippewa river, and,
We learn from Mr.. Fred Weyerhauser, of
this city, the president, that arrangements
have been made for purchasing from. the
Cornell University. of Ithaca, N. Y, So
GEO acres mare Of pine timber land in the
same region, and $4,000 acres more from
other parties. This will give the COM
pany. 10000 acres of valuable pine
timber. 81.
M. Weyerhauser is one of the dearest
headed and intelligent and driving business
men in our community, and. with proper
backing, will help to largely increase
its business The company was ORGANIZED
in 1871, and it has marketed the following
amounts of lumber:
II million feet in 1871. !
50 million feet in 1872. ~;
80 million feet in 1873.
129 million feet 10 1874.
$50 million feet in 1875.
And now it intends to run the business
up to SEQ million feet annually, in short
time.
The same men are also organized into
another company, the Beef Slough Com
pany, with headquarters up in the pine
region. The business of the Beef Slough
Co., is to attend to the booming and
running logs, etc. Last year that COM
pany expended $4,000 in the matter Of
booms and other..improyements.
The meetings Of the Logging Com auy
are held annually, in Rock Island, at which
arrangements are made for the winter
work of cutting, etc. =

i 1t is easy enough to perceive that thes,

The mill owners all along down the rive

.I5- II there l. one virtue more commend
able than another it is that of energy. 1t is
the opposite Of ,loth. and is aS salutary and
beneficial in its nature, the latter is dcmor-
alizing. Now, our young men are terribly
lacking in this matter. In tue first place it Is
hard to get them to enlist in any cntcrpr sc /:
and even after this is accomplished, they sell
dom remain connected with it long enough
to accomplish the end intended at the start.
And this must work i'll. should they allow it
to cling to them in the business transactions of
life. To avoid the train Of evils which
must necessarily follow in the path of sl",l',
two things are absolutely necessary. first the
untring and unabatng effort Of your physi-
cal and mental natures in whatever you un-
dcrtake, and second, determined and persist
ent perseverance, regardless OF t .e obstacles
which may obstruct the way We say, in all
kindness that in these two characteristics our
young men are lamentably lacking Let Us
practically illustrate this. We have in our
town, brass band organization which. for the
excellence of the music made, cannot be
eclipsed in the state; and yet they play only
to practice Boys, why is this? 1t is be-
cause you lack cnergy-becausc you are slug
gish. You cannot have good brass band
unless you practice, and you will not have
practice unless you have sufficient energy
to meet and go through the routine. This is
not the only instance where you manifest
lack of this necessary quality. They carry
it into all the business of life. Their every
movement indicates its absence. Boys this
ought not so to be. 1t will not do. This feel

effort that You may make to eXtricatc your
selves from the dreadful dilemma. win you
not strive to overcome this defect? Whatcv-
cr your hands find to do, do it with all the
power at your command-providcd, always
that it is right. Never enlist in any enterprise
In which there Is not, at least. a probability Of
success; aud when you are once started. de-
tcrmne never to abandon your efforts until
