CLOQuET PAPER MILLS.

CLOQUET PAPER MILLS.
The Herald is printed today on
the first lot Of paper manufactured
at the Northwestern Paper com.
pany' miils, ct Cloquet. This is in
accordance with IN arrangement
made over 4 year ago when the
preliminary steps we're being taken
for the construction of the 'splen.
did mills at Cloquet. The Herald
will confess that it would have
preferred to see these mills erected
at Duluth, but the Weyerhaeusers,
who are the principal owners Of
the new. concern, have large in.
terests at Cloqust, and own ! water
power there that has been utilized
for this enterprise. For these
reasons the mills were built there.
And the Herald IS pleased that,
since Duluth could not get the
mills, Cloquet was fortunate IN
securing them. They will prove
. valuable addition to the indus
tries of that town. NJ 4'5t .s \
The new mills are said to be the
finest and most complete in the.
world. No money has been spared
IN their equipment, and the entire
machinery is Of the latest pattern.
With ample capital the North.

to take leading place among the.
paper manufacturers Is of this
country. The manseer is C.. I.
McNair, who, until the inception
Of this enterprise, was the manager
of the mills of the Hennepin Paper.
company at Little Falls. Mr.,
Nc air has had . long experience
in this line Of business, and the

nate in securing his services. The

The First Anniversary.

1t is Just year sincethe Chicago,
Milwaukee e. st. Paul road inaugur-
ated its celebrated Pioneer Limited
passenger train service between Chi
cago, Milwaukee, st. Paul and
Minneapolis. This service marked
a new era in the railroad world in
the line ofpassenger accommodation.
At the cost of quarter Of a million
dollars that progressive company
furnished the travelling public, in its
Pioneer Limited trains, comforts and
facilities the best ever produced
This train has been described many
tines in newspapers and magazines,
but should be seen and examined to
be appreciated. In beauty offinish,
richness and elegance of furnishing
nothing equal to it has ever been at
tempted by any other road. The
car builders were nearly n year III
completing the Pioneer Limited
trains There are two-one leaving
Chicago for the West and the other
leaving the Twin Cities for the East
every evening in the year, and they
stand to-day a monument to the
builders art. No regular passenger
train service in America is as well
known as the Pioneer Limited. From
the standpoint of passenger traffic
the past twelve months have been
the most successful in the history of
the St. Paul road, made so very
largely by the PioneerLimited. The
patronage OF this service is astriking
illustration of the fact that the pub.
lie appreciates good thing.

At no time in thehistory of Wash

a steady and healthy improvement
in real estate values, has there been
so bright a future for the owners OF
suburban property lying within the
boundaries of the District of Column
bia, as the present time. While this
is due to several causes, among which
an essential factor is doubtless the
liberality of Congress in making
appropriations amounting in the ag-
gregate for the present year to about
$4,000, 900 for the District improve,
ments, theimprovements which have
been instituted by the syndicate tha

very first troops to reach Boston
from the South in 1775 were two
companies of Germans from Freder-
ick, Maryland, who marched the
distance of $50 miles in ~ days
without the loss of a man. Mr.. M.
l.. Montgomery, the historian of
Berks County, has shown that that
county sent to the war an unusually
large number of troops, nearly all
Germans and commanded by their
own countrymen. We give at ran
dom, besides those already named, a
number of the higher gradeof Penn
sylvania German officers, nearly ell
of whom were the sons of Palatines
and Alsatians General John Philip
Dahass, of Lebanon Co.; Col. John
Hoy, of York, who had charge OF
the recruiting service; Col. Henry
Haller, same county; Col. Sebastian
Lavan, Col. Baltzer Gehr, Col. Dan
iel Hunter, (Yeager), Col. Henry
Spyker, all of Berks county. Col.

ley family of which three ranked as
colonels, and others of lesser rank.
Then, also, the no less distinguished

German emigrant, Henry Antes.
who was one of the leading men Of
the Commonwealth, and for whom
Lord Howe offered $1,000 reward
"dead or alive"; Col. VIM. Antesand
Col. John Henry Antes, who built
the frontier fort near Jersey Shore,
(see Frontier Forts of Penna., vol. I,
p. 394), and who proved such a
tower of strength in the West Branch
region during the dark days of the
Revolution.
Our German ancestors bore their
full share of the heavy burdens of
public service from the Revolution
down to the present day. The very
first treasurer of our country was
Michael Hillegas, of Philadelphia,
whose father was a refugee from the
Palatinate. So faithful was he that
he was retained seven years. A
number of Germans helped frame
our first State constitution, and they
have furnished a larger number of
Governors to this great Common
wealth than any other nationality as
this list will show: Snyder, Skunk,
Heiser, Schultz, Wolf, Ritner, Big
Ter, Hartrantt and Beaver.
Indeed, Mr.. Editor, lovely as were
the Quakers, and sterling theScotch
Irish and Welsh, | sometimes
think as every true German should
do, that our "Dutch" ancestors lad
a big hand in shaping affairs during
the Revolutionary period. | may
add that the soldiers of Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
largely came from Penna. DIR. Rush
says in his essays in one place that
in a muster of the militiain Pickens
