THE NORTH WISCONSIN ROAD
The officers and directors OF the
North Wisconsin Raili Dad company
held a meeting at Hudson vest erday,
and selected the following board Of
directors Messrs. DAVID w.
Downs, of New York r. 2. Flower
of New York r r. Cable, of
Rock Island II. H. Porter, and W.
IL Ferry, of Chicago; Phi!etus Saw
ger, and f. p. Sawyer of Oshkosh :;
John A. Humbird, of Hudson, and
Jacob Humbird, of Maryland. A:
subsequent meeting of the board
Hon. Philetus Sawyer was chosen
president of the company; john A.
Humbird, vice-presideut and treas
urer, and w. H. Phipps, of Hudson,
secretary.
1t was decided at the meeting Of
the board of directors to proceed at
once with the building of twenty
miles of road, the line of which has
been located and adopted. There
is a strong likelihood, however,
that at least thirty or forty miles
more may be constructed this year.
The gentlemen now in charge Of
the North Wisconsin road possess
both the energy and the means to
push their line through to the lakes
at the earliest possible period, and
they fully appreciate the Importance
of the business that can be deyel-
oped with complete road between
St. Pau and the lake ports of Ash
land and BAYFIELD, The road is l5S
miles long from Hudson TO Bayfield,,
OF whish sixty are already construct
ed, and the close of the year will
see at least eighty, if not one hun
dred miles of finished road. The.
probabilities are that the whole
road will be an accomplished fact
within two years The directors
will make a personal inspection of
the road before they return to their
homes, and as they are enthusiastic
over the prospect, the North Wis
consin road can be regarded as in
much better shape than ever before.

the Little Saskatchewan. Every
farmer intends taking a pair of bob
sleds with him. Upon their arrival
at.the end of their railway journey
they intend erecting upon the sled a
light single board tongued and
grooved house, with camp stove of
Russia iron in the middle of it to
heat it and for cooking purpos es.
About $50 feet of dry lumber will
build it. The agricultural imple-
ments for the colony will be sent on
in advance. The light weight of
this little cabin which will be IL
feet long by 6 wide, will enable the
farmer to carry inside oft all nee
essaries. In this house they will
camp during the drive from Winni-
peg west, and if necessary can
spend the summer in it. Travelling
in this way they will cross MYERS
and swamps while they are still
frozen and save the expense ofpur-
chasing wagons Il first ssyear. All
the hauling on the farm can, it is
expected be done upon ihese sIeds
the first year. Schools, churches,
stores, ETC., are being established,
SO that the colony will Immediately
enjoy all the adyantagesof an old
settlement. The promoters of the
colony offer to extend its privileges
to all those who want homes in the
Northwest. Many things have
been provided for the comfort of
the emigrant, and to save him ex-
penses, which cannot be mentioned
here"

WHERE IS THE STUPIDITY.-Fiy-
id pictures are often drawn of the
stupidity of children, and especially
Of the Ignorance which they display
Of the mes nings Of common Eng
lish words. But such pictures are
more vivid than true. A child may
understand the meaning of woi d
perfectly without being able to ind
a synonym for it. To give def
nitiOn of the commonest word OF
handed Is not always easy. An in
spcctor expressed his surprise that
no child could tell him the meaning
Of the word boat" and upon being
asked himself TO define it, said:
"WhY, a boat is a-boat, you
know. Everybody knows what a
boat is"
The story is too good, perhaps,
to be true; but it points a moral
nevertheless.

The logs cut on the shoresot the
lake and on the ST. Louis river will
be sawed at Superior and Duluth,
and will keep our FIVE saw mills
and three shingle mills pretty
actively at work from the middle of
this month till next winteL This
is about double the produc, of any
former year, and the active COM
petition and large quantity on hand
will make lumber cheap here this
season Many think common will
not be worth over 500 on the cars.
But even this ought tG leave a
profit, where stumpage costs only
81 90 and often less per .housanG,
with little risk of failure III driving.
Besides the above much small
timber has been secured for our
two shingIe mills; abou. 10000
cords of wood got out; 10000 tele-
graph poles; 100000 fente posts !;
100, ,00o railroad ties; 100000 run
ming feet OF square timber, and s.
600 piles.
So it will be seen that we are not
entirely fooling away our lime in
this country. The above industries
with the attendant saving and haul
ing give constant. employment to a
large number of worklngmen, and
bring several hundred thousand dol
lars annually into the country.
The numbering interest is yet in
its infancy here, but it is destined
10 become one of the most impor-
tant industries in this country.
Tributary to the Bay of Superior
on both shores of the lake for 40
miles down, on the St. Louis and
Nemadjl rivers are incaIculab!e
millions of pine which will be manu-
factured here. lis development is
only a question of few years, as
the pine forests further south and
east are rapidly being exhausted,
and within reach of this point is the
next primitive forest for the lumber
men 10 attack.

ANOTHER and radical change in
the running time of the Northern
Pacific railroad goes into effect on
Sunday next the goth inst, by
which the through St. Paul and
Bismarck express will leave St.
Paul in the evening, reaching Bis
marck the next evening, and re-
turning leave Bismarck in the
morning reaching ST. Paul the next
morning, passing Brainerd each way
at midnight and connecting here
with a night passenger from Duluth.
\ mail and way passenger, in ad-
dition to this, will run between St.
Paul and Fargo on about the pres
ent time and about the same as at
present, so that in reality the night
express is an additional and entirely
new train on the road. The \. Z.
Sleepers will run between st. Paul
and Fargo, instead of Fargo and
Bismarck, and with the new ar
raHgement commences the occu-
pancY of the new lease by the
Northern Pacific OF the road be-
tween Sauk Rapids and St. Paul, so
that thereafter all Northern Pacific
trains will run into ST. Paul. The
exact running time of the through
express will be as follows: Leave
ST. Paul $50 p. m, arrive at Brain
erd 1890 a. N. leave Brainerd 1910
q. M. arrive at Fargo TAO a. m..
Leave Fargo at S:l0 q. M, arrive at
Bismarck 7:l0 P. M; returning leave
Bismarck 7:45 q. NJ, arriye at Far
60 at 6:45 P. ~, leave Fargo 7:l5 p.

The PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN
American business men are fairly
swarming over Europe. They are
so numerous and Europeans are be-
coming so used to seeing them, that
when new enterprise is brought
upon the markets Of the Old World,
or a new invention is talked about,
the first question is els it Amer
lean 90 The bitterest enemies of
the huge Transatlantic Republic
can not refrain from expressing ad
miration of the energy of her sons.
Like the Englishman who always
began to laugh as soon as he heard
the opening paragraphs of an Amer
lean "yarn"-on the theory that it
was sure to be funny-so our Euro
pean friends summon a ready stock
of wonder whenever the American
business man introduces them to
any new thing. Now he presents a
wondrous pump which would draw
the very entraIIs out of the earth,
if allowed to Operate long enough t;
now a reaping machine SO simple
that the rudest Hungarian peasant
on the seemingly endless plains by
the Danube can manage 1t; now an
electric pen, new motor, a wood
working machine. Each and all re-
ceive prompt notice. If an Ameri-
can proposes to build road, cut a
canal, bridge a stream, drain a
swamp or light a city, he is instant
ly listned TO.

BOYS AND TOBACCO. Physicians
are we'll agreed that the use of to-
bacco by growing boys is fnll of
danger. Recent Investigations
especially in France-have demon
strated that a whole train of nerv-
ous diseases are to be traced to
this practice. IF you want to stop
growing, if you want to have a set
of nerves that are like those of an
invalid old lady, if you wish to
grow feeble and thin, if you wish
to look saIlow and punny-I do not
know any better way than to smoke
tobacco. 1t will make a drain on
your nervous system which will be
sure to tell after awhile. Let us
hope that if n thousand boys read
this, some of them will be saved
from forming a filthy habit which
most men regret.
