Mr.. Samuel Pollard always coutended that
there was an abundance OF cement all around
the great bend Of the Minnesota river, and
he expected, though past sixty, to see more

made at Roscudalc, Louisville and Milw au-
kee. The old gentleman thinks now that he
might include two or three other things
since the Development proved so favorable.
There is considerable talk now about the
need of more buildings for residence and
