birds eye view of the yearling town of
Warren, now the county seat of Warren
county in the Red rive valley, contrasted
with one taken two years later, gives to
the observer an idea Of the rapid and sub
stantial progress made in the development
Of the country and the building of towns
in the great Northwest. The former pic
ture shows dozen houses of various
shapes and designs, irregular and incom-
plete, while the latter shows town of
1000 people, with fine business blocks,
public buildings, schools and churches.
The border of the Autograph of the pic
ture is ornamented with farm scenes, in
the neighborhood of Warren, which i'm
presses one with the natural resources of
the country tributary to Warren.

last evenings train for the destination as

land explorers, owing to the fact that fully
70 per cent of people heretofore employed
In the iron mining districts in Michigan
have recently been discharged, and Mr..
Julln's present party are representatives
from the various mines throughout the
iron dlstricts,on whose report several hun
dred are anxiously waiting. These peo-
pie consist of English, Scotch and Welsh,
Germans and Scandinavians, and all have
some ready means.
The railroads, especially those running
up into the Northwest, are being crowded
almost to their utmost limits by the rush
of travel this season, and if it continues to
increase as it has for the past few weeks
they certainly will reach the limits of their
carrying capacity before the tide of emf
grafton has touched lis largest limits. The
Northern Pacific is troubled exceedingly at
this early stage of the game, aud
Is calling upon its resources in pretty
lively manner for all the available cars it
it can control. This road, like the others,
prepared for all the travel that could be
calculated upon but it now finds that the
calculations are not equal to the demands
actually made. Eighty people in one par
ty and forty in another went up last night
on the Northern Pacific to take homes.
To-day a colony of forty, from
New York, another of sixty-fye, from the
same state, another of $50 from
Pennsylvania, and another of twenty five
from Iowa, will go up. This road will run
one train of sixteen cars and two engines
