wood City is far better than any one
had an idea of.
While | was at Bismarck the first
return stages of the Carpenter 4
Blakely line came in from Deadwood
City Both passengers and drivers
were loud in their praise OF the road,
nothing TO retard or prevent good
pace. aud the Journey from Bismarck
to Deadwood City is easily made
within sixty hours.
One of the passengers by stage was
a young woman with a baby, SO
suppose no danger along the route is
anticipated at present yet | would
not be understood, in saying this, as
indirectly encouraging persons to go
in quest of gold: it is a demorallzlng
hunt at best, and for many 1t Will be
easier to get to the Hills than to get
out Of them afterWard.
But there is a matter can advise
on, with q clear conscience, now that
the season has arrived when health
and pleasure seekers will visit our
beautiful State.
| None Of those coming for health or
pleasure should miss paying visit to
Gitche Ounce (Lake Superior) the
grand inland sea of this continent.
To be in st. Paul. within one hum
dred and fifty miles Of Lake Supe-
rior. and not to visit the latter would
be calamity.
Travelling TO Duluth, situated at the
head of the lake, by the Lake Supe-
rior railroad, one has full view of
| Ne+ tho ~ and
hereiS scenery worth many miles jour
ney to see.
Walled in by wooded hills, the swift
river rushes and tumbles over It's
rocky bed here it passes through q
deep, narrow defile that the tangled
vines look into, and anon, it sweeps
out into straight stretch of water
that she sun rays sport With, but IN
all the change Of scenery the river
passes through,it remains rapid, fierce
and foaming.
It is calculated that there are four
billion feet Of logs still uncut, trlbu'
tary to the st. Louis river.
No doubt it would cost q large sum
of money to make the rapids navlgahe
for logs, but five miles above the
Northern Pacific junction, where the
good pine lands begin, the river is
, navigable, and Mr.. William Dunlap
a merchant at the junction and gen
tleman well and personally known II
the business circles Of st. Paul, tolt
me that it was in contemplation tx
build railroad from the junction t.
the falls five miles above, and thu.
tap the pine lands and a very tine
water power besides.
While at Duluth it was my goot
fortune to witness ''Northeaster' OF
the lake.

ways appears to me grand ana lnspir

, depths. on came the waters Of TIL
lake in huge, tawny col
ored pillows and dashing against tn
break-water in the harbor, leaped Il
/, in white plumed waves, to height Q
e from fifty to sixty feet, giving TO tn
: shore a grand baptism OF freedom.
i may be prejudiced in its favor, 10
: | spent some happy years by tn

- The train, with sleeping coat
attached, runs through from Dulu'
to Bismarck in thirty-six hours, III
very fast, but the road is safe al
good.
| found Bismarck very differe
from what it was on a former visl
a There are now good class of bu:
ness men there and parties going
the Black Hills can get full out
,e on reasonable terms.
Of course / called on Col. Loun
berry. Of the Bismarck Tribune, ar

bright and busy.
On my return trip I stopped over
few days at Fargo, on the Red rive
of The future prosperity Of this TOW
is. TO nv mind, certain. for it has
s. magnificent agricultural country, IA
Id settling up, tributary TO it. 1t is
