ply was short at tho best, owing to troubles
and delays Mt the mines, and high prices

passed, and It was not long befort transpor-
tatIon by rail- to the remoter points III the

stance imposed great suffering upon tho
rurai classes all through the s tates Of Wis
consn, MINNESOTA, Iowa, Nebraska, and the
Western Territories anl to aomo extent the
towns MD cities suffered from 1ack Of fuel.
