A SETTLEMENT NORTH OF SUPERIOR.
THE RAINY RIVER DISTRICT. ITS
RESOURCES AND PROSPECTS.

For years the people at the head
of the lake have heard Indian trad
ers and trappers speak of Fort
Frances, place vaguely supposed
to be located somewhere north of
Vermilion Lake. 1t was the gener-
al impression that it was simply a
Hudson Bay depot or trading post,
and such was the case until the
opening of the Dawson Route few
years ago, when Canadian immi-
grants commenced to locate On the
rich lands along the banks of Rainy
river The village of Alberton was
laid ont, and to day, we are inform
ed, embraces population of about
four hundred, and supports a weekly
paper the Alberton Star The
town Of Alberron is situated on the
Canadian shore at the falls of Rainy
river, some 70 miles north of Yer
million lake, or about $50 miles north
of Superior and Duluth. But let
the Star speak for itself:
To those unacquainted with the
geographical situation Of this part
Of Keewatin, a few words on that
head may not be considered out of
pls ce. Alberton Fort Frances) is
situated on Rainy River, alb ut mid
way between Prince Arthurs Land
ing and Winnipeg. Two miles east
ward we have Raing Lake, whence
Rainy River has it's source,-seven-
ty-fve miles westward we have the
Lake of the Woods, into which
Rainy River empties itself. This
river without exception, is not sur
passed in the Dominion of Canada,
for which its beautiful clear water,
abounds with all kinds of fish, it's
regular depth and width Gts aver
age width nearly quarter of mile)
and the almost strait course which
it takes, being navigable through
QUIT is almost needless to say
that the river is the dividing line
between the United States and the
Dominion of Canada. Throughout
the entire water stretch, the land on
each side is of the finest quality,
and well adapted for agricultural
purposes. The timber is also good,
and OF various kinds, birch, oak,
pine, tamarac, cedar, soft-maple,
black and white poplar and some
elm and Eastwood. The lots imme-
dlately fronting on the river are ten
chains IN width and have depth
of two miles; each settler is allowed
to homestead one of these lots, and
to pre-empt the adjoining one, also.
About fifty entries have been made
here during the past summer, and
considerable improvements have
and are now being made on these
lots; some very fine crops were har-
vested by those who took the trouble
to sow and plant in this section las.
season, samples of which may be
seen at the Land office here. To
the industrious man, be he farmer,
mechanic or laborer, with a small
capital, Rainy River presents an
opening second to no other District
in the Dominion of Canada-and
where in few years any such man
may become independent 1t is
very probable that the Dawson
Route may be put in running order
during the coming summer, and it
is also probable that we may get a

bill, which has passed the legisla-

The time is fast approaching
when little or no wheat Will be
shipped out of Minnesota. The
grain will all be converted into
flour within the state, thus retaining
at home all the profits, besides
saving transportation. Minneapolis
will soon be the greatest flour man
utacturing city in the world. She
has now milling capacity Of 100
run of stone, which will be incre as
ed this year by the addition of rs
run, giving her total Of 263 run of

branch railway connecting with the
g. 2. r. to Sturgeon Falls, fifty
miles eastward from Fort Frances
we shall then have easy commu-
mcation with the out side world. Be-
sides this, in couple of years we
shall have the C. 2. Railway COM
pleted to Rat Portage, which will
connect us with the whole civilized
world. Those who in the mean
time have been wise enough to Sc
cure a homestead, and re-emption
right on Rainy River, or neighbor-
hood, will then reap the advantage
of their good judgment. 1t will be
easily seen that we will then be in
as good. and In many respects, bet
ter position than in other portions
of the Dominion of Canada, for we
have all the natural advantages of a
good country, good land, good tim
Der and good water,-winile in other
parts, although having railway and
other communications, they are des-
titute OF those important items.
From Fort Frances to Rat Po tage
(about l20 miles) we have an ex-
ce!lent water route, via. Rainy Riv-
er and the Lake of the Woods.
There are upon these waters now,
one large side wheel steamer "Lady
of the Lakes" and two tugs, with an
addition probably of another large
tug next season. Those vessels
will pass down the whole length of
Rainy River on their way out, and
must consequently touch upon
every mans homestead on theriver,
thus enabling him to take his pro-
duce to any market he pleases. In
the meantime he may obtain agood
price for anything he wishes to dis
pose of at Fort Francis, or Rat
Portage. At the former place,
there are now about sixty houses
| and 400 inhabitants-and all neces-
sary conveniences, four stores, post
office, school, blacksmith shop, and
church, and these have all arisen
within three years. We have also
Mr.. Fowler's large saw mill, where
you may get either your lumber
plain or dressed, doors, sashes, ,laths,
shingles &c. Mr.. Fowler is further
making arrangements for the i'm
portation of a gtist mill, to run in
connection with his saw mill, on the
opening of navigation. From the
foregoing it is obvious that tt e Town
of AIberton, (Fort Frances) is des-
tined ere long to become place OF
no mean importance. We may also
take into consideration the fact that
the land on the opposite side of the
the river is quite as good as on our
own, and that the American gov
ernment viii doubtless soon place it
In the market. Our canal will
shortly be completed, and through
its gates the large lumbeing trade
(soon to be created) in he neigh
boring state, Minnesota, must pass.
This will add much to the trade
and commerce of Rainy liver.
In conclusion we wotld advise
the emlgrant, and intending settler
to come and examine br himself
before locating elsewhe.e. Here
he will be free from all temptations
and the greatest of all-N hiskey.
We intend in another issue, to
deal with the mineral reiources OF
this countrY.--4IIerton 2ar.

A New YORK dispatch says that
the demand for government bonds
is large and increasing. 1t is for
the small denominations, and the
money in savings banks is being
drawn out and invested in these
bonds. Over ten millions changed
hands last week in New York alone.
There is little doubt that f the long
bond bill should become law the
savings of the people would mostly
go into these bonds.

Ead's jetties having made the Mis-
sissippi navigable for ocean going
vessels to st. Louis, the expectation
of American grain to Europe will
soon be enormously increased. The
only difficulty in the way of this
great boon to our Western states is
the insufficient supply of vessels.
This will be remedied as soon as

In no other place in America are
the rights of the laboring classes
more respected than in the Lake
Superior region. A man is a man
in this region, whether he's rich or
poor, and enjoys all the privileges
that the Almighty intended that
one and all should enjoy. He isn't
driven around as are the working
people of other districts, compelled
to labor early and late at the dicta-
tion of their employers, but is ac-
kno ~ledged and recognized as a
freeman, citizen and fellow crea-

is to be poor themselves, therefore
