THE RICE RIVER TOWN.
SITE.

It is reported that the 500 Rail
road tuwnsite company has de-
cided to locate its division point
on the north side OF Wild Rice
River crossing, about half . mile
distant from the railroad bridge
The location which has been Sc
lected is very much inferior to
the land which IL in dispute on the
south side of She river, and We
doubt If even che railroad COM
.pany, with aH che advantages at
It's command, can draw tho town
away from the south side. The
latter site Is the natural place for
. town and nothing can prevent
II from becoming such. The fact
that the company may put its
depot half q mile away, will not
materially effect the settlement OF
q town on the south side. There
sre seasons of the year that it is
almost to get to the tract north OF
the river on account of marshes,
but the south side is easily access
ible at all seasons of the year.
