Frank Prince was over from Minneapolis,
yesterday, to spend Thanksgiving with his
| relatives in this city.
The monlders' social hop, Wednesday
| evening, proved a genuine success in every
respect. Nothing occurred to mar the har-
mony OF the occasion.
Thanksgiving was observed in our city in
a quiet manner, all the stores and places of
business being closed, and everyone enjoy
ing themselves In their own fashion.
Hugh Hall and Miss Eva J. Needs, both
of this city, were married Wednesday by
Rev. A. A. Kiehle. The marriage ceremony
and the wedding festivities took place at the

ard Law, treasurer. The other officers were
appointed.
Messrs. Bell & Larravie have concluded to
re- establish themselves il business in Still
water. They have rented building on
Chestnut street between Second and Third,
with the intention Of engaging in the manu-
facture Of confectioneries.
A very pertinent inquiry which is agita.-
ing the minds of our prominent citizens, is
what has become of the proposed Saltwater
& Hastings branch OF the Hastings & Da-
kota road. The Importance Of tho road has
long been apparent to sorne OF cur business
men, ~ho have quietly been endeavoring to
secure its construction. A short tins since,
E. ". Duraut, D. ". Sabin, and David
Bronson had a conference
with general manager 8. S.
Merrill with reference 10 the prospects Of the
construction OF the Saltwater extension Of
the road, but nothing definite was decided
upon. It is understood, however, that Dir.
Merrill admits that it wo0Id be valuable
addition to the Milwaukee, st. Paul and Min
neapolis system OF roads. The Importance
of this road to Saltwater and the St. Crsix
valley, and the desirability of its constrac-
ton can lot be over estimated. This branch
line would in fact do more to advance the
interests Of this city and valley than any
road Or system Of roads which could be
brought here, and no effort should be spared
to secure its construction. This fec. is real
lied and admitted By our business men.
While essentially important to our interests,
it is equally Important to the railroad above
mentioned, IS Saltwater, with its annual
products of 10000, o0o feet of lumber, must
be an important addition to the future
interest of any road. The opening Of this
road would secure an outlet for our lumber
product into a vast extent Of country
through Dakota, Nebraska, etc, thus supply
ing continual demand for the lumber of
the st. Croix valley. The right OF way
along the lake front would cost nothing, at
the same time securing the transportation of
the agricultural products raised along the
line. This branch road is what our people
want and should have, for that which ad-
vances the interests of one in our community
must necessarily benefit others, and surely
that which will advance the interests OF Our
business men must advance the interests Of
