The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Hudson & River Falls
Railway Company was held at Hud-
son on the 30th ult. The reports of
the condition and prospects of the
road were encouraging, and the stock
holders were pleased with the situa-
ton. The following gentlemen were
elected directors for the ensuing
year:
Capt. E. b. Gibbs, II. Thompson
c. Gotzian, A. H. Wilder, of st. Paul;
III. II. Porter, Chicago; J. Comstock,
r. Z. Williams, c. L. Hall, of Hud-
son; E. r. Stevens, A. ID. AndT"'CS,
A. p. Weld, of River Falls; d. VI
Sabin and b. F. Hersey of SILVIA
ter, MINI.
A resolution was passed to apply for
an extension of the charter so as TO
embrace twelve miles additional. At
ter some other additional business the
meeting adjourned. A meeting of the
Directors of the road was held at Hud-
son on Saturday last and the following
gentlemen elected as officers for the
ensuing year.
Horace Thompson. President; A.
d. Andrews, Vice President; c. l..
Hall. Secretary.
The action of the company in apply
ing for an extension of charter is not to
be taken as an absolute determination to
build the road at present. This will
depend largely upon the amount ofen-
enlargement received locally. That
it would be of vast benefit to this
county needs no arg um EN- t. Cheap
and ready transportation at all seasons
of the year, would enable the resi-
dents of the big Woods" to receive
a fair value for all products of their
lands and thus greatly hasten the de-
velOpment of this part OF our county.
1t is well known that large tracts of
excellent timber have been cleared off
and the logs burned upon the ground
for want of market. With rail-
road near at hand this wouldno longer
be the case. The lumber on nearly
every 40 in the woods, would more
than pay all expenses of clearing it,
and hence there would be strong in
ducement to persons desiring farms
to locate on and improve the timber
lands. That there is real demand
for the lumber is proved by the fact
that cash has been paid at
River Falls for all kinds of lumber
products from the best quality of hard
wood lumber down to the poorest
cord wood. That there was small
margin in the prices paid is due to the
fact of cost of transportation here.
The same relative prices paid twelve
miles into the timber would prove
very profitable to the wood or lumber
producer.

THE HISTORIANS.

The Hesperian Society, of Els
worth, gave a very enjoyable enter
tainlaent at Brackets Hall on Friday
evening last to full house. Their
play. the Octoroon, tries severely the
talents of professionals, but was rem
deled by them in very acceptable
manner. No attempt was made, and
properly. to give professional style,
but each actor and actress aimed to
and succeeded in making the several
parts clearly understood, thus keeping
up the interest throughout. We have
seen the part of Pete sustained by
a professional with less success than
ny Dr. Hart on this occasion. In fact
the Doctor appreciated and carried
out lie part exceedingly well. The
naive dignity and darby pride OF the
old plantation negro and his sense of
the social standing and ''blood' of the
planters family. was well sustained,
aud evinced a high degree Of talent
for amateur theatriealS. Of the other
parts much might be said in way of
commendation, but we know the gen.
tlenen who acted so well will forgive
as personal mention. The character
Of Httle Paul deserves a notice, how
ever. as very well done by the lad
who carried it. All of the lady ac-
treSses sustained their parts with dig
nifty and in an acceptable manner, no
one forgetting her social position as a
lady in the professional role of an ac-
tress. This is a point too often over
looked by amateur actors. In the en-
Aeasor to carry out the part they seek
70 act in a professional style, than
which there is scarcely 4 greater
ftuit in amateur entertainments.
This fault was totally avoided by the
uesperians. and as result their per-
Torrance was more than ordinarily
satisfactory TO the audience, and they
viii receive a cordial welcome when
they come again. After the leading
plav the farce. Slasher and Crasher,
was acted with the result of very Sc
rious demolition of vest buttons on
the ,.art of the audience. The man.
aoeuyent of the orchestra in the hands
Of Prof. Burt added materially to the
interest of the occasion.
