of these is the Mississippi & Lake
Superior, and the other road start
ing fifteen miles down the river and
touching Lake Superior at Bayfield,.
The st. Paul & Pacific is really two
roads, one division of which is to
run northwest to the British posses
sions and thence to Hudson's Bay.
The other runs west through Idaho
to the Pacific coast. The North
Pacific road expects to begin opera
tons in the spring. One hundred
millions has been pledged to carry
out the great enterprise, which will
require ten years to complete. The
Minnesota Valley is the next work
of Importance. It will run to St.
Peter and thence northwesterly to
Idaho. Next on the list are the
Minnesota Central, the st. Peter &
Winona, and the road from Mankato.
Altogether this is a scheme so grand
that none but Americans can grasp
the great design and prosecute it to
completion.
Henry H. Eames, state geologist,
has assayed the gold-bearing quartz
discovered by him at Vermillion lake
in St. Louis county, on request of
Gov. Miller. His official report is
that it contains gold to the amount
of $28.35 to the ton.
There is a building boom in the
little town of Minneapolis up the
river. There are at present in the
course of erection 81 new dwelling
houses, Is barns, Z stores, 2 churches,
/ large hall, l school house and /
stable; total, 81. There are scores
of partly finished, although occupied,
dwelling houses which are not in
cluded in the above.
The discoveries of gold in the
northern part of the state, our i'm
mense crops and other signs of
prosperity, are bringing hundreds of
strangers here from various parts of
the East, Notwithstanding our long
winter is just setting in. The North

indian summer weather we are hav-
ng has induced many invalids to
remain who intended to leave before

apolis side of the river has been
purchased by Mr.. Smith of Alton,

Ten st. Paul men pay more income

A number of ST. Paul men who do
a large business making according

the reports to the income assessor.
There are a great many men who

are good financiers. The sum of

Machinery from Boston for the
digging and preparation of peat will
soon be introduced here, and by
another season it is intended to thor
oughly test the quality of that
article in this vicinity and its value
for fuel purposes. If the peat which
we have in this neighborhood in
such an abundance should prove to
be the genuine article of which there
is little doubt, we shall expect after
this winter to have a supply of this
excellent fuel.

When we approach the subject of
the weather, we feel very much like
throwing down our pencil and de-
claring our inability to describe it,
but we do wish to record the fact
for future historians that yesterday
Nov. "a, 1865, we sat by an open
window, in room without fire, and
scrubbed items in our shirt sleeves
as comfortably as in the month of
June. The sun actually shone hot,
and a linen coat would have been a
comfortable garment. Such a glor-
ious spell of Indian summer as we
have had for several weeks is worth
millions to the state.

M'FADDEN's FLATS.

Merriment, song and beauty are the predominant features of 'Mctadden's Flats", which comes to Polls Thurs day evening. There has been no farce comedy written in years which has en. jOyed better degree of public favor than has "McFadden's Flats.' It not only amuses and abstracts attention from the ordinary cares of life, but 1t gives a chance to laugh at the newest and best humOr of the day and hear the latest as well as the most tuneful popular music. Written by E. w. Townsend and Glen MacDonough, "McFadden's Flats" is clever from. a literary standpoint and we'll balanced from dramatic standpoint. In this years edition of this ever popular farce comedy the management takes particular pride in calling attention to the fact that everything is new in every detail. The scenery and cos tunes have cost fortune and the en- sembles will be found to be glittering bright and beautiful. In the company are such clever artists as the Speck Brothers, (the original Yellow Kids) Billy Barry IT,, Jos F. Willard, Har- " Fentell, Otto Brothers, Lizzie Con way and Gussie Nelson. Prices are 25, B and 30 cents. Sale of seats Wednesday,.

His first work in this field was assisting in the construction of a line in the central part of Iowa. He at once won recognition as an able and ris- ing man, and was given position on the Illinois.

VAUDEVILLE.


 A better indication of the hold which Callahan and Mack have on the pat rOns of the Jacques could not be shown than by the ovation given this popular team this afternoon when they ap- peared for the first time this week ill their charming sketch ''The Old Neigh bOrhood." Such a demonstration of esteem as that made at the matinee are seldom seen and it proved once more that whatever is well done is never forgotten. The sketch is as fresh wholesome and delightful as ever and the picture of the old Irish man sitting on. a ,box ill the shade of the evening picking out on the stops of flute the quaint tune of his boy hood is as striklngly real and true to life as when it was first shown here. Time has ripened Mir Callahan's Irish man into a character portrayal that is the essence of art and it seems almost impossible to consider 1t as anything but reality itself. Those who love Il clever and lsautiful bit of acting will enjoy ",The' Old Neighborhood" unre- servedly. ''H "~@fr

when these words were written, tho white man having entered in and helped the Indian in his farming, Of all the many tribes, none have shown moro faithful friendship for the whites than has the Crow.
 There are not many Crows now left, about 1,500. The remnant has shown strong disposition to follow after the ways we call civilized, as to dress, homes, general manner of life They have an excellent Indian agent. very popular with the members of the tribe. AS yet, not many of the Indians manage their own farms, not feeling competent; in- stead leasing to the white men. These tenants have shown in many cases what can be done with the land when irriga- tion is employed, and 1t seems perfectly safe, to prophecy to make that presently tho Crow reservation will blossom like rose.

On either side the tracks are "tepees that rise their smoke-browned tops" and many Indian riders pass along the roads and trails.
 In contrast to these pictures are the occasional glimpses of rich farms. When the settlers come in it is planned to irrigate the homesteads by means of . main canal taken from the Big Horn, whose waters are counted inexhaustible. The amount of land to be taken up by the white man consists of 1,150. .0O0 acres, ceded to the government by the Crows. who will use the proceeds therefrom in improving their own land and cattle not all the reservation is to be thrown open, just the northern half. It is esti. mated that something like 300, 900 acres can be cultivated, the remainder is adapted for grazing purposes. One who evinces much enthusiasm about the op- portunities afforded by settlement in this reservation, writes that the lucky
