The population of v Washington Ter
ritor, east Of the mountains, is said 10
be increasing at the rate Of 1000 per
week, and the PaIouse country at 100
a day. These figures may be too
high, although the immigration is
enormous. Arguments are already
being set forth for the early admission
of that Territory into the Union. 1t
is claimed that the population is near
y sufficient, and to complete it some
of the WasIalgtonitcs are urging the
annexation OF Northern Idaho to that
Territory The cutting off Of this por-
ton Of Idaho would be a 2rcat draw
back 10 us, while it would not be Of
sufficient benefit to that section to JUS
tify the change.

NOVEMBER.

Gusts OF wind go hurrying
Through the forest old.
Bright leaves lie withering.
=, Like heaps of FURNISHED gold:
The great limbs Of the trees
Stanu out so bare and brown.
While here and there is fluttering
A leaf upon the ground.
All nature is so dreary
This cold November day.
With no ray Of sunshine
Stealing through the gray.
The soft drop of the rain
Is all that's to be heard,
AS with it's gentle patter
The dying leaf is stirred.
The music Of the little birds.
Which charmed us in the past
Has gone, as everything must 90,
They were too bright to last.
The nest, long since deserted.
Swings to and fro,
Like some fOrsaken hamlet,
O'ershadowed by grief or woe.
sIhe distant mountain tops,
SO misty to our view,
Are robbed of all their beauty,
Their bright and varied hue.
The frost King, in his rambles
This cold November morn,
Has placed snowy wreath of white,
Their SUBMITS to adorn.

The sale of this road on the 10th is
said to have been genuine. The proper
ty and franchises were purchased by
Albion =. Man and Herman H. Cam
mon, trustees of the bondholders. The
price was 81 ,794, O37, and is subject to a
lien. of S225, 900 with interest since 1864.
On Tuesday the sale was confirmed by
order Of the United States Circuit
Court.
The Jackson Republic mentions the
fact that parties in Martin County are
working to build road from Winnie
bago City to Jackson. The Republic
says:
: 1t is proposed to organize new COM

Minnesota line agrees to surrender it's
interest to the new corporation. mas
much as the Southern Minnesota Road
is to furnish the rolling stock the enter
prise looks the more feasible, and we
are inclined to accept the reports with
encouragement and it is hoped the peo-
Jle along the line will assist Mr.. Shear
man in his commendable efforts to give
them a road.

In regard to this case it is perhaps

journal.
The Journal persists in repeating
this s. white lie.'' It has not the fair
ness nor the manliness to give the facts,
as the ADVANCE has frequently done,
but persists i'll saying that Mr.. Taylor
does not own a foot of land lin this
county. The design of this frequent
reputation of a s. white lie y is to injure
Mr.. Taylor and to prevent linn from
selling lands; and also to injure Miller,
Humiston 4 Co., through whom Mr..
Taylor made tile purchase. All the
publications Of the Journal concerning
F. c. Taylor and Miller, Humiston 4
Co., are so worded that if taken up and
republisled i'll St. Paul and Chicago,
they would do incalculable injury, not
only to these gentlemen personlly but
to this community. 1t is most infa-
nous to he staEbing Mr.. Taylor in the
back while lie is in England giving his
time and money to the work Of secur-
ing English settlers for these lands.
Every one knows that the English far
mers, as Il rule, are first-class farmers,
and that they will come Wit! consider
able means to make improvements.
But this counts nothing with the infa-
nous Journal. In it's sens2less hatred
of the Colony Company and the Colony
enterprise, 1t is ready to publish any,
thing which can hamper these land a.
gents in their effo.ts to sell lands. It
is no less Infamous to stab Prof. Hum
iston in the back, while he is absent ut
Chicago, by publishing the article init
mating that he has been taking money
from settlers under false pre:ences.
+. e. Taylor is recognized by the
Railroad Company as having exclusive
right to sell certain lands in this and
adjoining counties. Mr.. Convey, we are
informed, wrote to the Company con-

Company referred him to Mr.. Taylor.
