The KANzAs CoLoNY.-From the
Seattle "Intelli5encer," Mr.. NJ. A.
Mcpherson, President of the Kan
zas Colony Association, has conclu-
ded to locate in Wkatcom County
The proprietors of the town OF
Whalcom have donated one half the
town site to the colony. There is a
fine water power near by that has
been purchased by the Association
for $4,000. The Colonists will at
once commence the construction of
a lumber and grist mill. The main
building will be G0x220 feet, and
have a capacity of $4,000 feet OF
lumber per day, besides the -four
and feed, which will be equal to the
demand. One run Of burr5 will be
put in next summer, In connection
with the lumber mill will also be n
sash, blind and door factory. The
township will be surveyed and plat
ted this winter. Mr.. Mcpherson trav-
eled very extensively over the coun-
try, and estimates that the Skagit
and Saalish basin, not including the
delta and uplands, there are 100000
acres of good arabic land. The
greater portion of this land is of the
richest kind, and unoccupied. Mes
sers. e. B Ebey, F. NJ. Sewer. j. S.
Vernon, John Collins, Mr. Younkin,
Mr. Flenby, and NJ. a. Mcpherson,
started out from Whatc6m, about
the middle OF last month, to make a
road to Mount Vernon on the Skaait
river. They found practical route
and completed eight miles of the
road. The Colonists arc greatly
pleased with the opportunity afford
ed them to get homes in Whatcom
eounty, and very many will avail
themselves OF it.

ArrLEs.-The apple crop through
out Jefferson and Clalam Counties IS
very light this season. But few or
chards will yield even half crop,
and many not near that amount.
The cause of this deficiency is sup
posed, mostly, to result from two
causes, the cold and wet spring dur
ing blooming time, and an insect
that has very generally worked
blightinSly upon the foliage and
young branches of the tree-causing
the tops to wither AMI die.

1t is startling fact, that quinine, arsenic,
and other poisonous minerals form the basis
of most of the Fever and Ague Prepara-
tions,' Specifics" "Syrups," and ton
les" in the market. The preparations made
from these mineral poisOns, although they
are pa!atahle, and may break the chill, do
not cure, hut leave the malarial and their
own drug poison in the system, producing
quinisn, dizziness, ringing in the ears, head
ache, vertigo, and other disorders more for
lnidahle than the disease they were intended

Ii contains no quiniEe. mineral or any thing
that could injure the most delicate patient;
anu its crOWning excellence, above its cer-
tilinty to cure, is that it leaves the system as

New Railroad Prospects.

Gratifying evidence accumulatcs indi-
eating that the Minneapolis and St. Louis
railroad is coming to the thriving town of
Marshall. Mr.. Turrell, of Redwood Falls
states that he has just returned from Mi n.
neapolis, and that the new road has fully
accepted the proposition of the Redwood
people, which we understand to he the
payment of $40. 900, and giving the right
of way through that county. 1t is consid-
cred that if the road enters Redwood Falls
it will certainly come to Marshall. The
road might come to Marshall even if it
went north of Redwood, but the Redwood
scheme makes the Marshall outlook all
the more certain.
Another important feature of evidence
was the presence here of locating enginec,
Everett, of the NJ. & St. L., last week, fol-
the purpose of viewing the county ives,
Of here, to find line for the road. He
was accompanied from Marshall by Major
Blake and Mr. McNivcn, gentleman con.
versant with the country, and after four
days trip the party returned satisfied that
the natural opening directly west of Mar
shall was fair one. and that the country
above was less favorable, the farther they
prospectcd.
1t is highly probably that Marshall, and
the other towns herabouts, will soon re.
ceive the propositions of the railroad
company for right Of way.-Lyon Co

The Minneapolis / st. Louis r. r.


The Minneapolis & st. Louis Rail.
Road Company have made fin;
proposition to the people of Red
wood county, offering to build their road
into and through the county if $45, 900
and the right of way is first secured to
them by the townships which the pro-
jccted line of road will directly benefit.
1t needs no argument to show the great
need of this county for direct railroad
competition. and it only rests with the
property holders in the several townships
whether or not they will pay the price.
The company stipulates to build to Red
wood Falls by the frat of January, 1883,
if their demand is granted. 1t is gcner-
ally believed that the line will he extend
ed to Marshall from here, if favorable re-
ceived; otherwise. its route is more than
ever left to CONJECTURE.
1t is not at present thought advisable
to solicit assistance from the two south
crn tiers of townships In this county.
in the attempt to secure this road, though
these would indirectly share in the good
effects of its construction.
In view of the Importance of this prop
osition. we hope to have fuller discus
sion of its merits in our next issue. An
exchange says that this road will have to
work its passage and pay its way too in
some localities. and we cannot think it
unreasonable that its course must be de-
cilel in favor Of that section of country
which is willing to contribute toward its
construction.

Major Bowler writes from Bird Island
to ex-Gov. Marshall, making plea for
those who have been left destitute in
Renville county. He says: AT New Uln
some lives have been lost, fortunes brok-
en- into and many made actually desti-
tute. The contributions in their behalf
arc timely and necessary. BY reference
to published accounts you will discover
that there was greater loss of life in this
county than in Brown county, being elev-
en- in Cairo, six in Camp and some in
Wellington. Many farmers in Yelling
ton, Camp, Cairo and Palmyra lost every
thing they possessed except the ground
on which it stood; while several in Mel
vile and Bird Island are great sufferers
by the storm: SO that cases of real dest;-
tuition are as numerous in this county as
in Brown, if not more SO. We are max
ing careful investigation with the view
of doing for them all we are able to do
without calling upon outsiders; but out
side help is probably as much, if not more,
necessary here than there, and it people
i'll this county are to be helped as well as
those in Brown, l suggest that it be done
| through the citizens of Hector and Bird
Island, the towns nearest the sufferers in
this county"
The charitably disposed among our pco.
pie may very properly choose to help
these ncighbors in Renville county with
| whom We are SO intimately connected,
rather than New Ulm. which is being
generously remembered everywhere. l,
isn't necessary to get out the band mol
call meeting in order to contribute some
thing toward the relief of these unfortu
nate ncighbors.

Our Proposed Railroads .
of the GAZETTE.

Correspondence of the GAZETTE.
Although aware that railroads are
very desirable adjunct to all regions, yet
may it not be well to see if all the propos-
ais for new roads are always OH the
square? For it sometimes happens that
in our eagcrncss to get a desired offer we
over step, or do nose than necessary.
The case in point is the running of sur
veys of the C. & N. w. through the north
half of this county. They make surveys
run lines" and come out and make con-
tracts for right of way, and otherwise
seek to impress us rualitcs with the idea
that we had better keep our stock off the
survey for fear the locomotive will come
along and kill some of them, right away,
pretty quick. But it is in this right of
way business that the "nigger" can be
found in the fence. They come to us un-
sought, untaught and unsuspecting
grangers with contract for right of
way, and of course the signer expects it
will be unsafe to leave his self-binder and
breaking plow on the proposed line"
But when the business is all over with he
finds he has sold them an indefinite right
of way through his land, which they can
use or let alone just as they please. But
they have secured the right of the most
available route or for all know routes to
the exclusion of other companies. 1t is
of course of no use to grieve over split
milk, but in the future we had better not
contract away right of way" except
with promise that the railroad company
shall built road in reasonable space of
time on said route; say in one year from
date, otherwise to be null and void.
Railroad companies are neither philan-
thropists, angels nor demons. but are COM
posed of human beings like ourselves.
And like all us human beings like the
best and safest side Of a bargain.
