The Chicago Tribune says the
Supreme Court of Illinois has been
deciding some tax-title cases, and
says the Court is Standing upon
the principle that land owners must
pay their taxes or lose their lands.
4 tax-deed is getting to be as good
title as a warranty-deed, the
chances being exceedingly limited
for setting them aside"

has made generous gifts for a ceme-
tary In Georgetown, ID. O., and for
other purposes. For the Corcoran
Gallery and the ground on which it
stands he spent s25o,ooo; for the
original collection of pictures and
statuary, 100000 and for the en-
dowment fund he has given $780,
600.
Mr.. Corcoran was one of the orig
inal founders of Superior, and is still
the owner of a large amount of the
best property in the town. He values
his interest here very highly, and for
over twenty years has paid his taxes
promptly. He is gentleman of the
old school, very courteous and Dig
nified in manner, and the last time
we met him, about year ago, in
W ashington, be did not look to be a
day over so years Of age. He is
full of hope as to the future of Sn-
perlor, and has more ability perhaps
than any other man interested in
the town to advance its material In.

THERE are many people who
pride themselves upon their moral
ity and high sense of honor, who
scout with horror the idea that they
could condesend to tell a lie or com,

are yet constantly skIrmishlng all
along the line of upright dealings,
without coming fairly and squarely
up to it.

Mr.. WARD III. LEMON, of West
Virginia, enters an earnest protest
against the assertion that Judge
Davis, of the Supreme Court, &C.
.quired considerable portion of his
vast private fortune during the ex-
istence Of the Illinois panic of 1857
oy making usurious loans to the
farmers and promptly foreclosing on
them when the loans were not met.
Mr.. Lemon says that Judge Davis
made his vast fortune, estimated at
several millions of dollars, almost
entirely by the judicious investment
of money in real estate and pa
tiently awaiting the development of
the resources of the State for its
realization.

The North Wisconsin Railroad
was originally projected, under the
name of the st. Croix and Lake Su-
perior Railroad, to run from Pres
colt, on the st. Croix, in a north
wardly direction to the head of Lake
Superior, with a branch 10 bayfield,,
and Congress granted to the State
ten sections Of land per mile to aid
In its construction. The limit of
the grant, as to time, expired in
1869, but under a decision Of the
United States Court, to the effect
that the title rests in the grantee
till removed by special act Of fore
closure by the grantor, the lands
have been patented to the company
as fast as earned by construction OF
road. Forty miles Of road, from
hudson northward, have been built
and are now operated, and the con-
tracts for another section Of twenty
miles are let, and viii be completed
this year. The last survey, made
in 1866, makes the distance between
Superior and Hudson l35 miles, SO
that at the end Of this year we may
expect to see the iron horse pawingin
the valley only IS miles south of SUI
perior. We this week lay before our
readers the time table of this road,
and in the course of a few weeks ex-
pect to publish an extended des-
cription of the country through
which the line runs, history Of the
enterprise, etc. We hope the Leg
islature will grant the exemption
asked for, Of the lands Of the com
pany from taxation for FIVE years,
for no encouragement should be
Withheld from the men who have the
pluck to build railroads in this
country in times like these.

PAYNE,S

ciety, literature and the household. And
besides all this it is pure and clean. In poll

bristles with sprghtliness." The Pough-
keepsie Courier says: every page sparkles
with newsy paragraphs aud local hits" The

Letter From Marquette.


MARQUETTE, MIcH., Feb. 10, 1877.
Editor Times
In accordance with my promise,
| send you my first letter to-day.
Marquette, as every reader OF
your paper doubtless we'll knows, is
situated on the bay of the same
name, and is the county seat OF
Marquette County. 1t has a popula-
ton of about $500 now, against s.
500 in 1875; the working portion OF
which finds employment in the fur
naces, machine shops, saw mills,
&C., in and about the city. The
first object that would attract a
strangers attention, if he were com
ing in on q steamer, is the water
works, built on Light House Point,
which supplies water for nearly
every dwelling in the city. 1t is
built on the Holly system, has two
boilers, two engines, and two sepa-
rate sets Of pumps. One set, to-
gether with the engine and boiler,
are almost new, and were built at
the iron Bay foundry in this city.
1t is owned by the city, and water
users are taxed by the month ac-
cording to the amount Of water
used, which tax is paid semi
ally. We have no fire engine. The
water works have been found Of
sufficient capacity to put out any or
dinary fire, if notice is given imme-
diately to the engineer. Perhaps it
would be in order to state here that
there has been an alarm telegraph
put up lately with signal boxes in
different parts of the city, whereby
the engineer can be notified at OF ce
of a fire, and the railroad shops can
also be notified in order to blow the
fire whistle. The works are run by
contract, and it has frequently hap
pened, in case of fire at night, that
the pressure had been allowed
to run down, and the fire had done
it's work before sufficient supply of
water could be obtained. There
are three Hose Companies in the
city, which constitute very eff
cient fire department.
Business here is pretty dull as
this is our dull season. Two Of the
leading firms Of the city have failed
since the New Year opened. One
firm, that OF S. M. Levy & Co.,
Merchant Tailors, have liabilities at
10000, and another Levy 81 Co.,
have liabilities at $4,000. 1t is
rumored that r. Meads, the Mer-
ohant-Poet, has filed petition in
bankruptcy. Mr.. Meads, every one
supposed, was doing a good business
for the times, and the Mining Jour
nal frequently pointed him out as an
example of what man could be-
come by '.judiclous Advertising"
The number of officers on the NJ.
III. & O. r. r. was considerably
diminished on the first of the New
Year They have dispensed with
Assistant Superintendent, Pay
m aster, Master Mechanic, Road
Master, three round house foremen,
time keeper and Gen'l. Freight
Agent. The above named Offices
have been divided among others,
and Mr.. Shoch, the Gen'. manager,
performs the duties of the rest.
The weather during the past two
weeks has been very mild, the roads
are all bare and the "oldest inhabi-
tant' is at loss what to think of it.
Hoping that | have not exceeded
my space | am yours very truly,

THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL.


that the Legislature has passed the
bill exempting from taxation for
three years the lands of the Wis
consin Central Railroad. The con-
test over the bill was the most bit
ter and protracted one of the session.
The friends of the road asked for
FIVE years exemption, but finally
agreed to three years as a compro-
mise. The gap of twelve miles in
the line south Of the iron range will
now be speedily filed up. and the
opening of navigation will doubt
less witness the running of through
trains to Milwaukee.
We are informed that a line of
steamers will ply between the mead
of the lake and Ashland the coming
season, taking passengers from the
L. S. & M. and Northern Pacific
roads in the evening, and landing
them in Ashland the next morning
in time to connect with the train
for Milwaukee. Merchants in Su-
perior, Duluth and along the North
ern Pacific, ordering goods from
Milwaukee or Chicago, will find the
Central a cheap, direct and expedi-
tlous route to patronlze. When the
60 miles between Ashland and Su-
perior shall have been built to a
connection with the Northern Pa
cific, the problem of an "eastern out
let" for the latter road will have been
solved. and the result will be one
grand trunk line hetween Bismarck
and Milwaukee, over thousand
miles in length.
We congratulate the people Of
Ashland upon the success of their
railroad enterprise. They are now
substantially "out Of the woods" !"
and with their fue site, grand har-
Dor, mountains Of iron and copper,
forests of pine and hardwo woods, rich
soil, and an assured railroad, nothing
is to prevent the town from a
speedy advance forward into the
front rank of western cities.
To Gardner Colby, e. b. Phillips
and their associates is due more
than ordinary credit for the success
of the road. In the face of the
most discouraging circumstances
the panic, general depression of
railroad securities, the Potter law
and other adverse Legislation,
the work of construction has
been pushed steadily forward the
enterprise was in the hands of men
whe knew no such word as fail.
We present to our readers this
week, for the first time, the time
schedule and land advertisement of
the road. So far, the lumber inter
est has been the leading one. The
company is disposing of its timber
at very low rates in order to induce
the erection Of mills and manufac-
ture of lumber, to make freights for
the road. Little towns, each one
the nucleous of a numbering and
farming community, are sprlnging
up all along the route, and the
local traffic alone has far exceeded
previous anticipations. The hard
wood lands along the line possess the
richest soil, and are being eagerely
sougth for by people from the g ass
hopper-infested prairies.
| On the whole the future of the
Wisconsin Central Railroad is full
of good promise for its owners.
Connecting the foot of Lake Mich
igan with the head of Lake Supe-
rior, over a country rich in elements
of value, it is certain to do a heavy
carrying and passenger business,
and stand a marked success among
the many railroad failures of the
time.
