At Minnesota transfer three miles west
of st. Paul,a station established and main
tanned by the Milwaukee, Northern Pacific
Manitoba and Omaha companies for the
convenient transfer Of freight, it is re.
ported that about 100000 tons of freight
and about 10000 head of live stock have
been transferred. In the transfer yards
10 miles Of track are in use, of which 81.
miles was laid this year.
At the st. Paul union depot about $4,000
has been expended this year in improve.
ments and additions outside Of the build
ing. Iron roofs are to be placed over the
track platforms next year at a cost OF
about $4,000.
Numerous charters have been taken oui
for merely projected railroads in Mime
sofa within few years, but only a few
have reached favorable prospects for early
construction. One important projected
line, tho Austin, Mankato d st. Cloud rail.
road, 1875 miles long, having valuable
state land grand attached, is said to be
contracted for building under terms rs.
curing its completion by Dec. Is, 1884
Among the meritorious projected Iineq
is that Of the Duluth d Winnipeg from
Lake Superior to the Red river valley ana
the Manitoba boundary west Of the Lake
Of the Woods, and also that of the Dulutl
d Iron Range railroad, from Duluth north
west to the iron range near Vermilion Lake
The latter road had q state land gram
which the former seeks to claim under g
subsequent charter. It is promised thai Il
the legislature, to which both parties vii
appeal, shall confirm the Iron Range con-
pany in the grant, it will begin building
the road early in the spring and will pusl
it to early completion. The parties intsr
ested, mostly residents of st. Paul and
Duluth, are said to have invested ovel
$780, 900 in opening the iron veins and
proving their value. Representatives O.
the company say the ores they are pre-
pared to mine are the most valuable stes
making ores in the country.

MINNEAPOLIS g. ST. LOUIS.

The roadway Of this company is as fol-
lows: Minneapolis to Fort Dodge ria Al
bert Lea, 21O miles; Fort Dodge to Angus,
49; Cabon to Coalvills, 2; and Hopkins
vi0 Lake Minnesota to Norton, SO; Z total
of $40 miles. Its construction work for
this year has been limited to extensions Of
its Pacific branch ffom Winthrop TO Nor
ton, 20 miles. During the year this road,
BY sale of it's stock, has been placed undsr
control Of the Chicago, Hook Island 4 Pa
cifio company. II has. under contract for
use Of track with the Omaha roads, come
into st. Paul for business and BY favor of
the Book Island road hes quickly built up
large freight trah1o in 81. Paul. With
the G. r. 1. & r, and .. c. b. i N. roads
it forms . new through line between Chi
cago and st. Paul which 10 about $40 miles
in length. Early. in last fall this line. best
known rs tho Albeit Lea rolts, undertook
by cutting rates to force the other two
Chicago lines to enter into N agreement
with it for an equitable division of bust
ness by pooling. The tight on rates was
lively while it lasted, but appears to have
been settled without including in the psscs
agreement the matters on account of which
the fight was made.

Its lines aggregate about $500 miles. The
part of its system which is Of direct inter
est to Minnesota, emitting branches and
connections, is the La Crosse line to Chi.
cago, 40 miles; its river branch route to
Bur Ellington and st. Louis; the Iowa lines
from st. Paul to McGregor and Mason
City; the Southern Minnesota line, from
La Crosse through the southern tier of
counties into Dakota, and its Hastings &
Dakota road, from st. Paul up the Mime
sofa river valley into Dakota. In building
and by purchase the company has increased
its roadway during this year upwards Of
500 miles, the additions being chiefly in
Iowa. In Minnesota it has built this year
81 miles of. road, connecting Mortified
and Red Wing. On tho east side of the
Mississippi, in connection with it's Mime
sofa roads it has added the Chippewa Val
ley and Cedar Falls roads, 20 miles. An
important work of this year was the COM
pletion and opening to traffic of branch
line from Hsstings to Saltwater, dis
lance of 25 miles. It is understood that
this company will not build much road
the ensuing year, but it has begun lines in
the Jim river valley of Dakota, which it
will probably complete to connection with
the Northern Pacific at jamestown.
In st. Paul the expenditures of the COM
pany this year have been chiefly in filling
its freight yard grounds on the lower levee
and in preparing the foundations for
doubling its new freight house this year
When this is done the freight house will
be 1900 feet long by 40 feet wide, and the
freight yard will have track room for about
800 cars. A passenger house is being
erected at Chestnut street and early in the
spring one will be erected at the crossing
of Summit avenue, extended.

from Rochester, Mimi. to Pierre on the
Missouri river. This company has increased
its property this year by 40 miles of track,
OF which 1874 was laid in Iowa, 1926 in Da-
kota and 157 in Wisconsin. Its Iowa
building Of the year includes the compile
ton of it's Northern Iowa line to connec-

The increase of nine months was 81 ,062,-
+5S0.95, but tho decrease in June, July and
December, estimated, reduces the
increase Of the year to $94s, 304.s9,
which is about 2511 per cent. The
low estimate for the present month is
based partly upon the losses by the rate
war in the first part Of the month, but
more upon the delays of the east-bound
freight blockade of the last two weeks.
With regard to the business of the year il
is to be noted that the increase of the Az
.srage of mileage operated during 1882
over 1881 is only few miles less than
three per cent.
Through passenger rates on the Omaha
line average about three and one-fourth
cents per mile and local rates vary from
four TO seven cents per mile.
THE LUMBlk LINE.
A prominent part of the freight traffic
of this road is its carriage of lumber which
is in charge of the Lumber Line" in which
this company is associated for making
rates. with several other railroad compa-
MES in Wisconsin, Iowa. Nebraska and
Missouri. The business of this line fell of
dast spring on account Of supplies of lum
Der being reduced by the extraordinary de-
mand of the year previous. The yards be-
ing again fairly supplied the demand is at
this zeason very heavy and, on account of
many cars being held in the freight block
ade it has been impossible to keep up with
orders. On tho LIST of December there
wers orders on hand from lumbermen for
s43 cars. Every effort has been made to
supply them, and at this date it is thought
that if the weather continues favora-
BILE, within two weeks the present
ordars on hand can be cleared
away. In 1881 the shipments of
lumber to the southwest over this line
amounted to 33,A19,44O pounds, or about
1,17O car loads. This year December esti-
mated) the shipments have amounted to
100000 pounds, or about l, 415 car loads.
The lumber, mostly brought from Wiscon-
sin mills is carried over this line to mar
Aets throughout all the country between
st. Paul and Denver.

MINNESOTA CENTRAL.

Minnesota Central company, reduced in
its original vast prospects to q projected
line iof railway between Red Wing and
Manksto, with a state swamp land grant
appertaining, has been kept alive through
many changes and perils. One Of the for
mer converted it for time into a slack
water irrigation company, which proposed
by aid Of the Cannon river, tho beautiful
lakes it drains and the water sources Of
Waterville, Gas illustrated once to q legis-
lative committee by free hand drawing
attributed to Hon. L. z. Rogers,) to make q
channel for streams from tho Mississippi
at Red Wing to the Minnesota river at
Mankato. Afterwards the company was re.
converted into railroad company and about
year ago its privileges and franchises
were transferred to parties represented
BY A. B. Stickney, of this city, ex- president
of the st. Paul & Saltwater railroad, and
for time general superintendent of the
Canadian Pacific railway. Mr.. Stickney
organized the Minnesota Central company
for construction of the road, and during
the year the road has been built from
Waterville to Red Wing, and has lately
been opened to traffic in connection with
| the Minneapolis & St. Louis road. The
| construction company a few days ago
amended its articles of incorporation to
| allow its capital stock to be increased
from $1,OOO,OOO to $1,5OO, 600, indicating AS
is presumed. the purpose to complete the
road as originally projected, to Mankato
if not to connection west of that city with
the Pacific branch of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis road. At Red Wing it is thought
and hoped that tho road will also be ex-
tended eastward across the Mississippi and
to connection with the Green Bay & St.
Paul railway.

SssIGh Park.

This park, situated on Sibley street
between Fifth and Sixth streets, was also
given to the city in 1849 by C. S. Whitney
and Robert Smith. It has never been inn
proved, and in consequence of the rapid
growth of the wholesale business in that
locality it 10 deemed an unsuitable place
for a park, and in all probability the city
will plat it and from the proceeds either
purchase grounds in some other portion
of tho city or use the money to improve
Como and other parks. In the event Of
the sale not taking place the committee
propose to improve it by fencing it, put
ting in q fountain 100 feet in diameter
and thirty feet high and fill it with monu-
mental trees not less than one foot in di-
ameter.

this park has been improved by opening
an avenue twenty two feet wide and sur

In the line Of parks st. Paul has COM
paratively little of which to boast at pres
emit, but the city has not been altogether
unmindful Of the necessity for these
breathing spaces and beauty spots, but
truth conpels the statement that so far as
tho city proper is concerned it is indebted
to private generosity for the few parks or
rather squares within its limits, az will be
seen by the record given below. There is
some excuse for this apparent negle ct,
when it is remembered that the period
covering nearly the entire life of the city
has been an exceptional one. Scarcely had
the city donned its municipal robes when
the crash of 1857 came, paralyzing every
industry and making it difficult to obtain
the necessities of life, and leaving no time
for the study of the beautiful or esthetic.
This was followed very shortly by the
rebellion, when patriotic s.. Paul sent near
ly every one of her able bodied men to
preserve the life of the nation. The war
closed, again the young city began to grid
up her loins for another effort to work out
her manifest destiny, when the financial
rsvulsien Of 1873 swept over the land and
again it was desperate struggle to hold
her owa. She has successfully weathered
all these storms and rebufs, not emitting
the devastation Of large portion Of the
state BY gzssshoppers, which was almost
- sensibly felt By st. Paul 40 by the see
tioa Of the state immediately effected, and
he's now entered upon her career as . city
in fact - veil - in name. One evidence
Of this 10 found In the interest now being
taken in the subject Of parks and other
city aderuments. e...
The city council has taken held Of the
matter IN earnest, and its committee on
public parks, With v. 4. Van Slyke ct its
head. has been selected with admirable
wisdom for tho performance Of the great
work to be done. A beginning has been
made and the work will be continued until
st. Paul will rank among the first of those
cities whose inhabitants are lovers of the
beautiful.

THE TWO LINES

The st. Louis g. st. Paul Packet COM
pany, which is Commodore Davidson's
electric light line, has done much the
largest sharge of the carrying trade. The
st. Paul and st. Louis Packet company
made eighty-nine trips, against sixty-nins
trips for the Diamond 10 line. The boats
Of the st. Paul & st. Lsuis Packet COM
pany were much the larger and most nu-
Inerous as will be seen by the following

This little gem of park was gift TO
the city Of st. Paul in 1S49 by Hon. b. n
Rice, after whom it was named. It cover,
square, bounded by Fourth, Fifth, Market
and Warrington streets, and contains one
and one-half acres. During the year 1882
it was greatly improved in appearance I'M
der the personal supervision of Mr.. Van
Slyke.
These improvements, including grading,
sodding, fountain, flower beds, fencing,
ETC., ETC., cost the city $1,000, and money
was never better expended. During the
year 1883 this park will be more elabor-
ately eabellished with floral display. Three
additional electric lights will be added to
the four now already in place, thus light
ing up not only the grounds but also the
driveway surrounding it. The fountain
will be enlarged, and new seats, flower
vases, etc, added.

of boats, and good deal more business
done than there was the last year.

The navigation of the river was inter-
fered with during considerable portion
of the season especially in August, Septem-
Der, October and November. This did not
prevent the boats frem making their regular
trips, but it did render it necessary to
transfer the freight several times from
some of the boats Of heavy draft to those
of lighter draft. Most of the boats came
through in regular order and generally on
regular time. The following is state
ment of the amount of water during 1881
