An article in last weeks TRIBUNE calling
attracted the attention of parties to the
subject, and there is no doubt but that if
committee is appointed to canyass the
town. quite liberal inducements may be Of
fered for the establishing at this place of a
foundry and machine shop. This qucs
ton of offering inducemcnt toward secur
ing manufacturing enterprises is one that
is of vital import to every resident of the
village, as it is the best means 10 accom-
pish the desired ends. We are one and
all interested in securing that which will
promote our united interests; and we are
interested to the extent of our several in
vestmeats. 1t is simply matter of dollars
and cents either as a bonus or as an in
vestment in shares in the enterprises, and
every dollar expended in making Morris a
manufacturing ceutre adds a hundred fold
toward the growth, development and sub
stantal progress of our village. 1t is
wholly unnecessary to enlarge upon the
benefits which must of necessity accrue by
the promotion of enterprises of this class,
as the advantages to be derived are fully
appreciated; hence we need Only add that
without manufactures we are progressing
by canal boat instead of by lightning ex'
press. One route is slow and tedious, the
other rapid, swift, and none the less sure.

After looking over that widely adver,

after inspecting many of the towns and Il

ciudei, are over estimated, and cxaggera
ton appears to be the most prolific crop
produced i'll that now renouncd region. 1t
is unquestonably true that there is a large
amount of business transacted and that
money is plenty, but this is owing more
to the fact of IL large emigration than to
any thing else, and after Il careful investi

cost. We have had hard competition at
Appleton and at Ortonville, and we must
devise some means, now that we have am
pie opportunity, to place ourselves on an
equal footing by seconding the company's
efforts. If coal can be sold here for $5.75
we can hold our own, as, now that our
buyers are paying $1.15 per bushel for
wheat, farmers will find it to their direct
advantage to come here:

for the present amy parties requiring Goa,

within reasonable time at the rate OF

Lirelu Ride.

On Tuesday evening Mr.. Burke and an
other gentleman from Gracevile, missed
the evening train for the Valley, arriving
at the depot just after the train pulled out.
They Immediately boarded Jimmy
J'Mally's dray and started to head off the
train, and by keeping the horses on keen
run succeeded in reaching the Avery farm
about the time the train did. The engine
stopped and took the passengers on board,
who went their way rejoicing. The race
was a lively one, the tlray jumped and
bounded over the rough roads at afvely
rate, and 1t was fun to see the boys bob
round and clutch at the end stakes in their
desperate efforts to keep on hoard. They
managed to hang on, however; and al
though rapid ride in il dray over frozen
ground and rough roads is anything but II
pleasure, yet those who have taken a trip
over the Conncmara Central in a box car
would prefer dray ivcry time.

NeIc Time Card.

1t is rumored, and with some decree of
authenticity, that new time card will so
into effect about March 1st, and that a
through night express will be run over this
line between St. Paul and Fargo Day
trains, it is said, will run to Morris and not
to breckenridge rs at present, so that we
and other points east of US, will have the
advantage of both day and night train
We hope night train will be run during
the summer months, as, under the present
running arrangements, a trip to St. Paul
occupies three days and two nights, while,
with night train, two nights and but one
day would be needed. The difference in
time makes it quite an object TO business
men along the line, and they would visit
the cities much more frequently could they
do 50 without such a loss of time. When
the new roads are completed Morris will
have between three and FIVE daily trains
running to aud from St. Paul and Mime
apols.

time and care expended in the preparation
of the programme to be presented, we can
fully rely upon having an evenings enter

to be popu ar and attractive, especially
when presented in thorough manner, as
we have every assurance they will be-
New characters and new scenes will add
an additional charm to the plays, and form
additional attractions. Of course there
will he large attendance at Brisbine's

yet failed to provide generous and &C
ceptable feast in return. AS the commit

board of Trade,

AT the meeting of the board Monday
evening, action was taken OH several mat.
tiers of Importance already mentioned as
being under consideration. Correspon-
dence was opened with eastern parties for
the purpose of establishing Il creamery at
this place, and also with Mr. G. T.
Moslicr, Il practical mac!inist and founder,
who contemplates, providing suitable in
ducements are offered, locating at this
point for the purpose of engaging in bust
ness Mr.. Mosher comes highly recon
mended lis worthy gentleman, and one
who has mad long practical experience in
his line OF business Should he be in
duced to come here it is his intention to
establish Il brass and iron foundry and ma.
chine shops, and engage in the manufac
tUre of portable und stationary engines,
and also to do repairing and all other work
connected with this line. The board are
fully alive to the Importance of securing
enterprises of this class, and if their efforts
are only sustained by the public, results
must follow which will be Of permanent
and lasting benefit both to the village and
to the country tributary.

Cheap F'ucI.

Appended we publish an order from
General Manager Marvel to Agent Fisher,
instructing him to furnish coal in CARLOAD
lots delivered here for $3.50 per ton. The
coal is of a fair quality, at least as good as
that heretofore sold for $500 by our re
tail dealers. If several farmers wish to
lay in supply all they need do is to club
together and order car load. This can
easily be done if several parties living
in the same neighborlood combine to
gether and deposit their money with the
agent. 1t is claimed that coal, at this
price ismuch cheaper than wood, and we
hope to see our board of trade, who have
been mainly instrumental in bringing this
about, contrive some means whereby the
coal can be handled l.ere ard retailcd Mt
