OUR RAILROADS.,

The future of Wortllington as an i'm
l,ortant inland railroad center, seems
now assured beyond doubt. We laye
the Sioux City and st. Paul, \ north
and south road, now in operation. The
Southern Minnesota, an east and west
road, is pledged TO come to Wortlling-
ton by Sept. ], 1877. The. line for. a
branch from Worthington to the. :D:l-
kota line westward is now being sur
veyed. The Southern Minnesota. also
propose to build northwest from Wore
thington through Pipestone County,
thus giving us a northwest route. A
road to the Fort Dodge coal fields is
also spoken of. Altogether, the rail-
road outlook is very promising.

The people of. this country lave been cen
q free nation for IL hundred wears.
What can we do to show low glad We
are. to be free, and how proud ne are Of
our land? What can We do to *l,elu
keep it beautiful, and great? we can
eacl, plant q tree. We can each, plant
te). trees, or perhaps u hundred, .or u
thousand. We:callnot, send ANYTHING
to the great Exposition at PhjladelDhi3
for the people Of other lands to see. but
the children of. Minnesota can pl:int
many thousands Of trees. and years
from this time, Wien you are men and
women, you can point to them and say,
''Those are the Little Foresters' Cen:
tennlal trees. We planted them when
we were children, the year when the
nation was one hundred years old:''
The PbiladelpIlia lia Exposition camnot
last always, but your trees will keep
yro,oiny, year after year, more beautiful
and tall. =.
How many boys would like to twist
hay always, winter and summer, to
keep the kitchen fire burning? How
many boys and girls like to stay shut
up III the house all winter long, with
out any lessons, because they cannot 90
to school for fear Of being lost in sud-
den storm? How many like to pass the
winter evenings without nuts or apples
to make good cheer? How many like
picnic dinners better out iii the sco:ch-
ing sun or in the little school house,
than they would under the lovely green
trees? Howmanyl like to see the school
house without single tree or shrub
near it? How MANY like to play and
work always i'll the hot sun or driving
winds? 1t you do a,ot like>suc Il state
of things, remember that, it depends
very much upon you whether it shall
always be so or not.
One OF these years, if we do not all
go to work with might and main to
plant trees, Minnesota will he a desert.
The forests will he all used mp, and the
winds will sweep over the great cult
waited f;srms and make destructive lur-
ricanes of sand and dirt, as has hap
pened in some parts of France, for just
such Il reason. If we tlo plant trees,
we can make Minnesota more beautiful
than Il garden and one of the most
prosperous countries in the world.
Little Foresters, you can help make
this the Banner County of Minnesota.
i'll tree planting. Let each district try
to lie the Banner District and see which
can send the largest roll of names, first.
These names are to be published in Il
popular juvenile magazine, the Wide
Awake, ut Boston, so that all the world
can see what the Little Foresters i'll
tend to do this year. 1t there is no
enrolment made in your district, you
can each decide to plant ten trees or
twenty cuttings, and send your name
yourself. Earn a bigger premium if
you can, but this number will secure
for you 4 Centennial Badge, and the
Nttlest boys and girls can plant at least
one nice tree, and have their names
printed.

One of the men connected with the
branch line says that the mill ut Min
neapolis with q hundred run of stone
will be built, and that they want the
wheat of this region to make the best
brand Of flour. The first thing we
know the millers from all directions
will be in here running up our wheat to
al "exaggeratel" price. No objections
to that sort of ''exaggeration.''
Should General Bishops conditional
promise, given elsewhere, be fulfilled,
work Oh the branch road will begin as
soon as frost is out of the ground, and
furnish employment for all the men
and teams wanting work. Now if the
Southern Minnesota should "get mad"
and push through to- Worthington tho
present year, wouldn't the dirt fly and
wouldn't business he lively?
