WILL IT PAY TO BOND3

,DEWALD, Feb. S, 1876.
EDITOR ADvANCE:: AS almost every
one is talking about railroad and bonns
thought 1 would make a few figures
on the subject the Southern Minnesota
road is the one I refer to, Of course.
Suppose the county give the road bo-
nus of forty thousand dollars in Z per
cent. twenty-year bonds, that will
amount to 500, 000-that is at simple
will allow $4,000 for collection; so there
is 100000 out in 20 years. Now let US
see what return we may expect. There
county. Now suppose we raise, on All
average, SO acres OF wheat to each Sec
ton each year for the 20 years, that
would be sc, 600 acres Of wheat per year:
At 10 bushels per acreit would amount
5 cents more per bushel with the road
than it will without, the road would
save the county $4,000 per year, and
in 20 years, $3.50 900. Deduct from this
the $lOO, 900 paid out in bonus, and the
county clears $500, 600 in 20 years-not
a bad sum l should say. Then there is
all of the years after the twenty besides.
But, again, q man whose assessment
was 81 600 at the present valuation of
the county would have to pay Il tax of
about SIS toward the interest OH the
bonds; he would save that amount on
100 bushels of wheat with the road.
Now is this an OverdraWn picture of
the advantages the road would be to us?
Let us see. First, it now costs about
so cents to get a bushel Of wheat from
Worthington to Milwaukee, and Is
cents to get the same to St. Paul or
Minneapolis. Now, as Minnesota does
not consume more than One-eighth of
| the wheat that is raised in the State, it
follows that seven-eights of it must
find an eastern market, either as wheat
or flour. Now if by securing the
Southern Minnesota to Worthington
we could save cents Dushel ON
freight land the best informed say we
would save from 10 to Is cents), the
farmer would get cents per bushel
more for his wheat. So far there is no
doubt about the figures being correct.
Fifty acres of wheat to the section is
less than one-twelfth; hope there is
no man in the county with so little
faith in this county as to think that 4
large estimate for 20 years. Also 10
bushels per acre is not a large estimate.
Then these figures are based on wheat
alone, not taking into account all other
things which would, in all probability,
Increase them four fold. l believe that
by securing the Southern Minnesota
Railroad to Worthington the county
would be the gamer by good many
times the $4,000. OBSERVER.

with view OF saving property from being

commenced to sweep over the rock. Al
lli- time the scene was terrific beyond cos-
crptiou. Ihe boat house and Dollhouse
were swept away, the tower OF the latter
being hurled thirty feet from IL founda-
ZION. The machinery OF the bell was car

OF the dwelling house conveys some faint
