Surgeons on a Journey.

In the government Improvements at The
mouth of the Willamette . dam was built
adross Pearcy's slough, which runs nearly
parallel with the Columbia, and 10 separated
from it by rolling, sandy piece Of land.
During last summers freshet = lot Of stur-
geon got over the dam and remained feasting
in the mud below. The wster falling, they
could not find their wsy out of the mouth Of
the slough, so they made the journey over
land across the strip of land to deep water In
the Columbia river. Just how they navi-
gated the land is not known, but It y
certain that they got across. Mr..
Robert A. Habersham, assistant United
States engineer, who went down last week 70
superintend securing the work already done
against future freshets, noticed number Of
trails across the sand from the slough
to the river, and examined them very
carefully for footprints, but none conld BE-
discovered. He then made inquiries of per-
sons in the neighborhood, who assured him
that crawling surgeons had left the tracks.
Following up what appeared to be the fresh
ct track. he came upon the CARCASS Of stur-
geon half way acrOss the peninsula. There
was no track beyond the place where the Ash
lay, but one leading directly to the slough.
The conclusion is inevitable that the sturgeon
used their fins and tails as feet and walked
three legged to dep water Portland Or

STILL ANOTHER RAILROAD

The Duluth, South Shore & south
western Railroad, is another new and
commodious enterprise; Farther par
ticulars concerning its organization
will be found III another column. 1t
starts from Duluth, ana goes north
along the shore of Lake Superior,
touching at Agate bay, Beaver bay,
and grand sIarais; which are respec-
tiE-..v about fifty, seYeAty-five and one
hundred e,iles down the lakes thence
on to the Pigeon River the noftheast
boundary of the state; with branches
from Duluth southwest, toCcnlhg
Mile IIacs, st. Cloud, Litchfield, Red
wood Fall, Tracy and Pipestone City,
to the south boundary of the state,
passing through the great wheat belt
of the country. This road will tap at
Agate bay the Iron range, which COM
mences at that point and goes to Ner-
million lake, where is located large
and valuable iron interests, which are
being extensively opened up. 1t will
be important to touch at Grand Mar
ais, where the United States govern
ment has been expending large sums
of money, and has succeeded in estab-
fishing harbor of safety TO boats in
case of storms, and will open conn
munications with Duluth, and make
it ready of access in case any boats are
there in need of relief. This road will
give ready access to the mining enter
prises near Pigeon River in winter
time, and will greatly facilitate the
working of the Silver and Copper ISL
and mining, on Silver Island, on the
shore of the lake and at the mouth of
Pigeon River; this Company has
already capital of 81, 900, 900, and has
struck deep beds of silver and copper.
1t has expended large amounts of
money, and is now about ready to
ship it's first results. About ten miles
west of the lake on this river, are the
beautiful falls, where the water falls
down perpendicularly some ninety feet
affording very beautiful summer
resort, and which has become quite
famous among eastern visitors. This
section of the country contains some
of the best lands in the state, but it
has been shut up from the outside
world, because there were no railroads
leading into it, st. Paul has been in
vesting, and improving in that region
for years, and will soon be able to
realize from it's nothern industry.

A MISTAKEN DAILY,

There may have been time before
science went to making axes with
which to chop down large trees, that
the untiring farmer sat down and
waited for the forests to fall and decay,
so he might have a clear spot on which
to SOW his seed, but that period has
passed away, and the Minneapolis
Tribune will learn that the time has
also passed away, for the wheat of
North Dakota or Minnesota to be car
ried as cheaply from the fields where
it is grown to the foot of Lake Super
ior via the mills of Minneapolis, as it
can be carried between the same two
terminal points via Duluth or the
South Shore. This can never be done.
No road that can ever be built will
ever accomplish it. The people as
well as the natural lines of transpor-
tation, are against the Minneapolis.
mills and their methods, and are daily
becoming more bitterly opposed to
their having the wheat, and the farms
ers selling, will hereafter accord the
eastern buyer the preference. This
being true, the mills would have no
use for the new road if in an hour of
their wrath they should build it.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1883-08-25
Senli-weelxly,
A BIG THING IN FARMING!

A correspondent of the Brooklyn
Daily Times, paints q fine glowing
picture of farming over in Dakota,
strickiug nothing but wheat, and the
ground upon which it is growing.
Farms one sees along here would
make the eyes of an eastern granger
bulge with wonder to that extent
that he could not get his eye lids
down long enough to wink. Just
fancy wheat field stretching clean
out of sight on each side of the track,
carpet of tender green that might
run from Gulf of Mexico to north pole
for aught you could see to the contrary.
There is the Dalrymple wheat farm, for
instance, just across the Dakota from
tier, where man holding a horse
plow would hardly get to the end of
his furrow by night if he started after
breakfast, for the farm covers 10000
acres and you bound it by miles in
stead of rods and furlongs. Steam
plows loosen it's surface. In these
meadows houses appear
like merest dots, afioat and astray i'm
the landscape, and even a settlement
seems almost lost in the green space
of its setting. Absence of familiar
will strike most travellers,
for everybody rushes into wheat cult
ure, and pays high prices for food for
the table. You would fancy that a
man would at least spare an acre for
potatoes, lettuce, parsnips. turnips,
cabbages and other garden truck, but
no; except few corn patches,
YOU SEE NOTHING BUT WHEAT.
1t has been the custom for years, to
hear all visitors abuse the farmers |
because they will raise nothing but |
wheat, wheat, wheat, and why it is,
,hey themselves do not know. Their |
all runs in this direction, as
hey often admit, to their pecuniary
letriment. They will go so far as to
garden sauce for the table, to .
'aise more wheat. They cannot see
small as a hen, turkey or
zig, and worship none else than the
King of the prairie, wheat.
