Mr. EDIToR:-In a recent issue
of the Chicago Tribune occurs the
following in reply to an inquiry by
Mr.. A J Lockhart as to the "Air
Line Route ~
The Chicago & Pacific Air Line
was chartered in 1872. 1t was or
ganlzed by number of prominent
Wisconsin gentlemen who tried 10
get the St. Croix Land Grant. Not
succeeding in getting the grant the
project was abandoned, and it is
hardly probable that it will be re-
yived again, there being no use for
such line.
Mr.. G. J. Barnes in answer says ::
Your reply to Mr. Lockheart is not
in some respects correct. The
Chicago & n. Pacific Air Line T..
r. was organized in 1872. In
1874 the Wisconsin Legislature
granted to this company that por,
lion OF the 81. Crolx land grant
lying along its line. Oh. 1876, OF
Laws of 1874. The land amount
ing to 100000 acres. The project
of building the road has not been
abandoned. The company still
holds the lands granted to it. It
has expended \ large amount OF
money, has about sixty miles graded
and proposes to complete the line.
The above account is truly re-
treshing Not single foot Of road
graded IN Superior and Douglas
county where the most Of the Land
Grant is situated. Who is this Mr.
c. J Barnes? ? What has become of
Mess. Jackson and Ruger? Rail
road iron can be had at half price
and labor in same proportion. Let
this Company either exert itself or
give the Land Grant to responsible
men who can build the 60 miles
from Superior to Bayfield, Junction.
Ness Lockhart, Barnes, Jackson g
Ruger let us hear from you before
the Legislature conYenes.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
In year the Northern Pacific rail-
road will be IN working order to a
point one hundred miles west OF
Bism arck on the Missouri river.
This will give easy access to the
Black Hills region. n y After
some discussion the directors re-
solved that only one hundred miles
of the Missouri division should be
built now. 1t wa. reported few
days ago that the company intend
ed to vrrange for the building of the
road for its government land. A
director said yesterday that cash
would be paid for tn. construction,
the money TO be raised on a first
mortgage bond on the new hundred
miles of road.
1t was deemed impracticable TO
build the remaining one hundred
and FIVE miles of the Missouri with
out first making a better survey.
These one hundred and FIVE miles
lie across the Sioux country, aud
owing to the prejudice of "Sitting
Bull" to Typographical science, the
line was hastily laid out. During
the coming year an instrumental
survey will be made. This year
cross-ties, for the first hundred
miles VIII be cut on the company's
land the iron will also be worked
and everything pu: in readiness, to
begin grading before the spring is
far advanced.-N 7, Tib1sne, goth.

THE circuit court now being held
at Chippewa Falls, has finished its
criminal calendar, and has COM
menced the trial of civil cases. A
correspondent Of the Pioneer Press
of the 18th inst, IN speaking of the
Frank Russell murder case. and the
Judges charge to the jury, says:
"a large audience was in attend
ance. Judge Barron displayed his
old-time ability, industry and prac-
tioel common sense sYstem. In
charging the jury not point was
left untouched. His charge sulpris-
ed the bar and impressed it with
the idea that there had bean a little
intellectual lazinesS upon the part
of lhe Judge heretofore, and il has
been the unanimous remark today,
that his charge isa Few production,
which for vigorous common sense,
as well as a clear exposition Of the
law applicable to the facts i'll tie
case is probably unexceiled by
any charge ever delivered in this
cosnty. 1t was exhaustive and sat
isfactorY to all parties"

RAPID and cheap communication
with Manitoba and the Northwest
is essentisl to the development Of
that vast, fertile region. While
Canada is buiiding a railroad from
Winnipeg 10 the saorss of Lake
Superior, the United States are en-
larging the Sault Ste. Marie canal
SO as TO givs sixteen feet Of water
on the sills, sufficient depth to en-
able large vessels TO pass from Lake
Superior into the lower lakes. The
entire cost of the canal works will
reach three million doiars, and the
final appropriation viii be asked
from Congress during the present
session. In connection with this
Improvement, the Nebsh rapids in
St Mary's river, ana the canal
across the St. Clair fate, are being
deepened. With the link OF the
Canadian Pacific Railway, now un-
der construction, placed in run ing
order, and with facilities afforded
for the transportation of wheat
from Prince ArthIr's Landing to
Montreal or other ports without
breaking bulk, our Northwest will
possess cheap outlet for its sur
plus products, and The rapid growth
and development of that section
will be assured. - Tlrolitn MI
