tempiated as soon as the road l.
finished, and no doubt the Falls VIII
becomc quite manufacturing point,
. as the water power there, the IA
cilities for boomage etc., are pro-
nounced to be unexcelled anywher,
along the river. We are informed
that work will be pushed steadily
forward on this line, the grading
completed this fall, the ties got
out the coming winter, and the iron
laid in the spring. So mote it be.
Our EsT.-We returned on
Tuesday from five days trip over
the Northern Pacific Railroad be-
tween the lake and Red River. We
found the country looking well, the
crops little backwa ard, but promis-
ing a good yield-in fact the peo-
pie say that the outlook for splen-
did crops Of everything raised new
er was better. Oats and barley
were mostly. harvested, giving i'm
mense returns, and the wheat in
most localities was expected to be
ready for the reaper this week. On
the Dalrymple-Cass farms cutting
was to commence on Wednesday.
1t is the general opinion that the
yield Of wheat will be from twenty
to thirty bushels to the acre. AS
more land is under grain this year
than ever before the shipments of
wheat will tax the railroad to its
utmost capacity, and ready sales
and good prices viii bring Joy to
the heart Of many farmer and
many a merchant who is now
groaning under a heavy load OF
debt incurred in less prosperous
years. The Northern Pacific coun-
try has been singularly exempt from
grasshoppers this year, and many
believe that the days of this plague
are numbered.
The towns along the road all
show evidences Of growth, notably
Moorhead, where Bruins & FinkIe
are erecting p large brick block,
Henderson, the hard ware man, an
other, and John Erickson and sew
eral others purpose soon to likewise
build brick business places. Moor
head and Fargo are the two liveliest
towns Oh the line, and as they have
a very rich country all around for
miles, and are on the road and river,
they are destined to grow and pros
per. AT GlYndon and Audubon are
large cheese factories, turning out
an article equal to the best. De
Ifolt was REINFORCED this year by
an influx of German settlers into the
woods east of town, which makes
her think she has the "dead wood"
on Audubon on the county seat re-
moval question. At Detroit we
were agreeably surprised to find
Mrs. Geo. E. Wheeler, formerly of
Superior, with her youngest son
Byron, keeping the Wilson House,
the popular hotel of the place, and
very good house it is, too. to stop
at. Mrs. w Wheeler resided for many
years as a teacher among the In
dians at Vermilion Lake, she speaks
the Chippewa language fuently,
and her great ambition is to open
government boarding school at
ermllion. She is an enthusiast up
on the subject OF educating Indians,
and has certainly higher opinion
OF the natural capabilities of Mr..
Indian than one individual we could
readily name At Wadena we found
the people attending to business as
though the small pox was never
heard of. But one case now exists
in the neighborhood. and that a
very mild one. We staid over Sun
day at Aldrich and found ourselves
right in the midst of friends,-old
Duluthians. Among them are
Sampson Dover, and Mr.. Gross,
with their families, Geo. Foster,
Mr. Lyon and son and AIr. Robi-
son formerly of Rice's Point. All
have taken up land and are well
pleased with the country, which is
prairie and timber, with a good soil
and pure clear water Mr.. Dover
