The Knife Falls Branch.

This little railway, up the st. Louis river,
Knife Falls, on the st. Louis river, is to be ex-
tended over the rocks, this fall, about quarter
of mile to the large mill being erected by the
st. Louis River LAUNDERING company. This
mill, it is said, will be the largest steam mill
in Minnesota. and its product will make a con-
siderable addition to the freight traffic of the
St. Paul & Duluth, and Northern Pacific rail
roads. The Kuife Falls Branch, at the two
mills mentioned, touches upon an extensive
aud rich pine region, covering nearly all the
country drained by the st. Louis river and its
tributaries. and which, without this little road
would be unavailable. because of the obstruc-
,ions to log navigation of the st. Louis
What the falls and rapids of the
Dallea of the st. Louis are, many of
the GLOBE readers have seen. They are OBJ
struction enough but there is between the falls
Just above Thomson and Knife Falls another
obstruction, absolutely impossible. 1t is q
great jam of trees and drift wood, like the raft
of the Red river of the South, under and
through which the river flows, but where chip
would lodge and be added to the mass. Sever
al unavsiling attempts have been made to
break this raft of the St. Louis and nearly
level, but each food season builds
it up again. The country through
which the railway runs, near the
river, is not exactly encouraging to railroad
builders, being exceedingly rocky and uneven:
But SO far the grade has been easily carried
over the rocks at about their level, and the
filling of hollews has been the chief work in
preparing the roadway. Above the mills, how
ever, the st. Louis is broad. clear and navi-
gable stream and it will only be necessary to
extend the road far enough to give yard and
loading room for the mills to be built, to which
the logs may be foated from all tho pineries
above.

GoRHAM, formerly secretary of the Repub-

zeal may be gratifying to his party, but II

BIG FARMING.
Some OF the Work Which Is Being Done
In the Red River Country.

Mr.. j. D. McCloskey, of Fargo, d. T.,
county, and at one time member of the legis-
lature of this State arrived in this city yester-
day en- route to attend the grand triennial con-
clave of Knights Templar at Chicago. Mr..
McCloskey for the past four years has been the
superintendent of the celebrated Grandin farm
on the Red river in Dakota Territory, and dur
ing the same time has been the master mechanic
on the Dalrymple. Cass and Cheney farms in
the same vicinity. Mr.. McCloskey is fresh
from those immense wheat fields, and
his wide experience and intimate knowledge of
matters there makes his information
of value and interest. MIR. McCloskey' q
immediate connection ia with the Grandin.
Dalrymple farm, which consists of 900 acres
of wheat, which he says will give an average
yield of thirty bushels TO the acre, or an aggre-
gate yield of 100000 bushels. The Cass-
Cheney. Dalrymple farm consists of $4,000
acres, the average of which will be from twen-
ty-fve to thirty bushels per acre, making a
grand total of nearly one million bushels.
Harvesting commenced last Monday, and
on the followipg e day forty f-binders were at
work on the Grandin farm and sixty on the
other farms. He says if the weather is favor
able all this immense crop will be in shock in
ten days from the date of beginning and in
be in the elevators or on the way to the sea-
board. Eight steam threshers are in place on
the Grandin farm and twenty-eight on the
others.
Farming on such gigantic scale has never
before been witnessed in the whole world, and
description of it almost staggers belief. In ad.
dition to his other duties, Mr.. McCloskey is do
ing little farming on his own hook. He
states very modestly that he has only 1,8O(
acres of his own in wheat this year, but expects
to have 5000 next year. This is doing very
we'll for man who went to Dakota only toul
years ago with scarcely any capital.
Mr.. McOloskey mentions q single instance
which shows the wonderful fertility of the sol
in the Red River valley. Mr.. A. 81. Morgan, OF
Caledonis, in Traill county, has l60 acres il
wheat, which good judges say will yield fifty
bushels to the acre.
Mr.. McCloskey also takes little interest il
the politics of Dakota Territory, and says Hon
q. s. Back, of Fargo, will be the Democratic
nominee for delegate in Congress from North
ern Dakota.
He will be joined in this city on Friday b,
Capt. George Egbert. ex-mayor of Fargo; j. E
Haggert. sheriff Of Cass county; Thomas NJ
Pugh, register of the land Office, and one o
two Others from Fargo, who will accompan.
him to Chicago.

They Had a Walk.

capital story is told by the boys concern
ing trick that was played on Jimmie Shake
alias Jimmie Dice, at Como night before last,
which is too good to keep. Tuesday evening
Jimmie put on his swell clothes, hired a nobby
rig and took his charmer out for a drive
They drove out to Como and tarried at the
lake until it was quite dark. 1t was agreed to
remain at the lake until after supper and drive
home in the cool of the evening.
After enjoying the beauties of nature to
their hearts content. the happy couple ordered
out their rig preparatory to driving to the city.
The attendant started out to comply with the
order and returned in few minutes with the
information that the rig was missing. Subse-
quent search demonstrated that it had been
spirited away, and there was no alternative
but to walk to the city, and walk they did. 1t
was learned yesterday that the rig had been
driven TO the city by young man named
George Wilson, who intended the trick as o
practical joke. Jimmie Shake, alias Dice,
don't see it in that light, and he is after that
man with stuffed club.

BOLTING AGAIN.

WEjudge the Washburn family are repu-
dating Garfield. Gen. Andrews copies in
the Dispatch in the editorial columns, with
out word of disapproval, the following
item, credited to the Springfield Republican,:
No Presidential candidate ever went around
the country exhibiting himself without losing
by it.
AS Andrews original start in life was be-
ing hired by the Washburn family to run for
Congress as a bolting candidate, 1t seems
likely that they have hired him to bolt
again. 1t is generally understood that he
received $1,000 cash, before he would con-
sent to bolt in 1868, and subsequently, the
Washburn family (E. B. being Secretary of
State) gave him the Swedish mission from
which, by resorting to thin,
pod augur diet, he saved some
forty thousand dollars. Bill Wash
burn, having q deadly hatred for
St. Paul, induced Mcmillan to appoint An
drews census taker for st. Paul, and
Andrews gratitude to Bill was so great that
he took portion of his Swedish swag to
invest in the Dispatch. As he is the little
dog under the Washburn wagon he would not
dare to make movement without orders from
the men who own him. E. B. Washburn
having gone to Europe in the suIks, Bill evil
IDENTIFY wishes to chime in and endeavor to
secure some Democratic votes on the ground
that "the family" are not anxious to see
Garfield elected. He can accordingly point
to his little poodle as evidence of his senti-
ments, while he keeps publicly
in line to secure his party support.
This was the game in 1868. Washburn was
originally the candidate for Congress, but
when it came to bolting, he preferred to pre-
serve mis- party standing and hire little
poodle to stand in the breach. It looks as
though history was repeating itself.

RAIL RUMBLINGS.

Personal Movements OF Railway People
Work on the Rush City & Grantsburg
Line-The Knife Falls Branch-River and
Lake News.
Messrs. Hill and Angus were expected to
return from Winnipeg last night, and Presl-
dent Stephen was expected from Montreal, to
attend the adjourned meeting to-day Of direc-
tors of the st. Paul & Manitoba railway COM
pany.
Judge Chandler and family were expected
home from Big Stone lake last evening. The
boys in the Office intend to have the judge
weighed Immediately upon his arrival home,
believing that his three days vacation ought
so have counted as DR.. Tanners three days
feast did after his long fast.
Mr.. A. F. Leopold, president of the Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior Transportation
company, arrived here yesterday, intending to
90 to Duluth tonight and to return to Chica-
60 by way of the lakes.
The White Bear travel this month bids fair
to equal the large total of last month. To-
night the Great Western band will add few
hundred to the score by giving one of
it's attractive lake-shore concerts. Trains will
leave the Wacouta street depot at $3.50, 6 and
:25 p M, and the last train will leave the lake
at 0:05 P. NJ.
The track-layers on the Wyoming branch of
the St. Paul & Duluth road have progressed to
within two miles of Centre City, but it will be
about two weeks before the road will be OPEN
ed to Center City for regular traffic. Meantime
the track-lying will be completed, the roadway
ballasted and surfaced and the right-of-way
fenced.
The st. Paul & Duluth company has not yet
decided as to its proposed adoption of the Rush
City & Grantsburg railroad. But the grading
is SO nearly complete that there is time enough
yet for the company to take hold and finish the
road before New Years. The bridge over the
St. Oroix would be heavy undertaking, but
the track-layers could soon be started out from
Rush City. The road would doubtless be a
valuable feeder of the main line, and its oper-
alton would stimulate the settlement and i'm
provement of the country back of Grantsburg.
Eight extra coaches were sent by the 81. P.
NJ. company, from Minneapolis to Wayzata
yesterday, to accommodate an excursion party
from the Centenary NJ. E. Church of Min
neapolis.

his points" however, by lauding the Repub-
lican party to the skies, and consigning the
Democracy to the depths of infamy. Of

misrepresents the motives and actions of the

embracesCbattanooga county, the Kuklux head
quarters after the war. Now, sir, in the inter
est of the party, and to prove to the world that
Republicans have the nerve to defy their
enemies in their strongholds, I offer to make
the race for Congress in my distrios upon the
Republican ticket, to deliver q speech in each
county in the district in advocacy of the justice
of the war for the Union and in support
of the thirteenth and fourteenth amend
ments to the constitution of the United States.
1 will support the Republican State ticket In
my own county Floyd). 1 will also support
the Republican State ticket in Georgia, if there
should be one. I will deliver speech in any
other county in the United States which You
may designate. l cannot, sir, however, but
vote for Hancock, who has devoted almost
thirty five years to the service of his country;
who did not. after the Mexican war, resign. a.
did Grant and Mcclellan, 70 escape the rigors
and hsrdships of the Indian war, or to accept
the higher remuneration which civil employ
ment gave, but who has fought on through all
those years, until, by his own brave sword
alone, he has won every. grade
from lieutenant TO senior major
general. He now holds the highest po-
sition in the best army of Chiistendom
which was secured by meritorious service. Il
Is true that he has military superiors, but
their grade under favoring administrations was
won by an act of gsllsntry, while his was Sc
cured by gallsntry shown and blood shed while
brave!y fighting the enemies of his country. 1
shall expect, sir, that in view OF the fact that
my election is among the remote possibilities
only. and that this campaign may demonstrate
that the Republicans can pass the Rubicon and
defy their opponents in their very Gibraltar,
that you will furnish the funds necessary to
wage war for the party. ! am, very respect

NO REPUDIAfIoN IN 1ENNKssEE.

NO REPUDIATION IN 1ENNESSEE.
The action of the Tennessee Demoors tic
convention in declaring in favor Of the pay
ment of the obligations Of the State accord
ing to the nomination of the bond, will stay
for time the slanders that have of late been
heaped upon the Southern people because
some of the State and local debts have been
repudiated. Many of the obligations repu-
dated we're incurred illegally by the carpet
bag governments of the States, and the pro-
ceeds of the bonds appropriated wholly by
the thieves who had control of affairs.
The people derived 40 benefit whatever from
the loans, and having been conceived in
iniquity and brought forth in the most out
rageous dishonesty, the legitimate govern
ments of the States had some excuse in
equity if not in law for refusing to pay
them. In the case of Tennessee the matter
is somewhat different. Though few of the
loans contracted were fraudulent, the greater
part were duly authorized and honestly
appropriated for the benefit of the State. On
the strength of these few illegally issued
bonds party has grown up in favor of re-
pudiating the whole, and this party essayed
to control the Democratic State convention.
They failed ingloriously, for the convention
declared most emphatically in favor of the
payment of both principal and interest on
all the bonds.
This result is subject for congratulation.
1t is an earnest of the intention of the Demo
Gratis all over the country to be just to all
classes, even to the injury of themselves. 1t
will put gag into the mouths of the ira
ducers of the party. For the future as in
the past the party will pay all just obliga-
tions that have been or may be incurred,
leaving the Republican State of Minnesota
to stand alone as debtrepudiating State.
The Democrats of Tennessee have done
we'll, and their action will no doubt rebound
largely to the credit of the State.

Tie managing committee, hearing of the
arrangement, disappointed the speculators
by slightly changing the line of march and
securing all the vacant spaces to be had,
upon which they will build seats and charge
the moderate sum of twenty-five cents for

cost of construction and attendance. The

The continued steady decline in the river is
anything but encouragingito the managers of
lines running to st. Paul. The Keokuk North
ern line have already been compelled to stop
their larger packets at Hastings, where con-
nections from this city have been made by rail.
The company propose, however, to bring their
light draught boats into service for this por-
tion of the river, connecting with the largest
packets at points below, as governed by the
condition of the river. The Alex Kendall,
which will probably form one of the boats of
