FHE REVIEW.
X.USB & BERRY.
The New orthwest.
The writer was one of a party of three that has just returned from a trip to the northwest. We were all charmed by the beauty of the country, amazed at its resources and rapid development and favorably impressed with its probable future. Some of its many attractioi 8 may not be without interest to your readers.
We left home on the afternoon of Aug. 5. It is five hours' ride on the Monon to Cbicag It is the country that makes the city, and Chicago is the great west. It is a great country which can make and maintain so wonderful a city.
P. S, Kennedy was one of our party. He has not been in Chicago since he was a delegate to the republican convention that nominated Mr. Lincoln in 1850. He undertook to show where the wigwam was situated in which the convention was then held. While we did not contradict hitn, we were somewhat skeptical on the subject.
We left, that evening, for St, Paul, which is 480 miles from Chicago. The run is inade in 13 hours by the limited express. The fact that there are now seven distinct lines of railway betweeu the two cities is indicative of the growing business and development of the new northwest.
Wheu Mr. Seward in 1860 addressed the citizens of St Paul from the steps of the capital it was the seer and the statesman that said, "I now believe that the ultimate last seat of government on this great continent will be found somewhere within a circle or radius not far from where I now stand, at the head of navigation of the Mississippi river."
The seat of government may never be changed, but the center of population is very fast moving in the direction indicated by Mr. Seward.
St. Paul wa* then a frontier town, now the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis claim a population of 400,000. At that time the faet that it was the head of navigation of a great river was significant. Now railroads have superceded steamboats, and St. Paul is reaching out her ijron arms in every direction.
We spent a day in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The cities are but 10 miles apart from center to center. At Minneapolis we see the great flouring mills with their daily capacity of 80,000 barrels. It is sometimes a serious question where the bread is coming from. It would appear this is the point But it is not the cities but the country yet beyond in which we are most interested. In the union depot at St. Paul we see the Northern Pacific leaving for the far we§t. It goes out in two sections of 12 coaches each and every coach is full to overflowing. We are told it has been so for two years now. This is the tide that has been pouring into Washington territory. A little later we go out upon the Manitoba R'y, a railroad that without a land grant, without government aid and without much fuss has already parallelled the Northern Pacific across the the continent—has four lines down the Red River valley and more than 4,000 miles of road in operation from St. Paul. The Northern Pacific, with its land grant of more than 50,000,000 acres, was more than 10 years struggling to the Rocky mountains. The Manitoba, with the merits of the country it was seeking to open as its backing, constructed its main line to the mouutains at the rate of five miles a day. It was the greatest feat of rapid railroad construction of the age. It is a little remarkable that the Northern Pacific, with its great land grant and the whole field to select from, Bhould have chosen the difficult and expensive route it did. The Manitoba, by going 100 miles further north, down the Red Uiver valley, turns west to find an unobstructed route, of easy grades, through fair and fertile land to the mountains. It avoids bridging the Missouri river by literally running around it. It is over this route we make our trip. We go up the west bank of the

Mississippi to St. Cloud. A belt of woods forty miles wide extends south across the State to the Iowa boundary. The tract is known throughout the State as the region of the "big woods." All of Minnesota east of the Mississippi is a timbered region. North of St. Paul the bluffs of the river disappear and the surface of the river is but a few feet below the general level ef the country which is about a thousand feet above the sea level. For a thousand miles to the northwest the elevation is about the same.
Now we are at a point where the water on one hand ruus to the Gulf, on the other, to the Arctic ocean. A little further to the east the water finds its way to Lake Superior and hence to the Atlantic ocean. A little later we stood on the divide where the waters run to the Missouri river and the Columbia—the Atlantic and the Pacific. Here, if anywhere, is the hub of the universe, aud the greatest rivers of the world are but spokes in the wheel. After leaving the Mississippi we pass through the Parke region of Minnesota. It is a delightful land, a thousand lakes, fringed with oak, ash and elin, with white sand bottoms and pebbly beaches, are scattered everywhere. Here was the hunting ground of the Dacotahs—here now is New England thrift and enterprise. We soe beautiful harvests of wheat and oats, in shock and stack, green fields of wheat and potato patches, that promise an ample yield, and the white blossom of the buckwheat. There are white cottages, with greeu shutters, great red barns, half hidden in the groves of oak, elm and maple, all indicating plenty and prosperity. At daylight we are in the valley of the Red River of the
North. The river winds its way more than 200 miles to the north to Lake Winnipeg, through a country as fertile as the valley of the Nile.
Here is the home of the No. 1 hard, a wheat that stands at the very top the flour world, and ouly 250 miles from Duluth and Minneapolis, the best wheat markets in the west.
It has been but a few years since the writer went down the Red River valley. At that time it was an unbroken wilderness. With the exception of a Hudson Bay trading post the valley was unoccupied.
The Red River cart, a huge vehicle made en tirely of wood, with two wheels six or seven feet in diameter, the motive power being a horse, a cow or an ox, was the only means of transportation between St. Paul and Winnipeg,
Now, the whole valley i# gridironed with railroads. The Manitoba alone has four lines down the valley, two on either side the river, about 20 miles apart.
It is a fine morning. The fresh, bracing air ii exhilarating. It has rained during the night and the rich, black soil looks its best
Fences have disappeared. We are at sea, but it is in an ocean of grain. Wheat and oats everywhere as far aB the eye can see.
The 'squire looked out upon the scene and simply said, "we can't compete with this." And that is the fact. With cheap land, no fences, no ditches, every section line a public highway—not a free gravel road, but a good road—only 100 days from seed time to harvest it is hard to compete with them with wheat— when they have a crop. "Ah, there's the rub!" They don't Imve a crop every year. Last year they were damaged by a frost—this year by the drouth.
The crop in the Red River valley is good, but west of that it iB bau. There was but little snow last winter, which was followed by a dry spring and summer. The rains came the last of June, but it was too late. What wheat they have is good. The grade is No. 1 but the straw is 9hort and the yield is small. The situation was succinctly stated by a farmer, who posted his farm after this manner: "No rain, no grain no dunning allowed on these premises." We spend a few days in Dakota before going "out west."
After leaving Devil's Lake, settlements dis appear. We are getting toward the frontier. We come upon Indians, now and then. Wig. warns are along the streams, and occasionally a fox flees frightened from the track. Tbe gophers watch us apparetly unconcerned from their villages. The bones of the buffaloes, that lie bleaching on the plains are gathered by the Indians and half breeds in great piles along tbe track. A thousand skulls are piled into a pyramid. It Is the first shipment the road makes east. They go to the sugar trust, to be used in tbe refineries. To what sweet uses are they come at last We secured a set of buffalo bones In memory of a race that was. The Indiana and the buffaloes, twin dwellers of the plains, are disappearing before the advance of that great civilizer, the locomotive. In their place will be the happy homes of a free and prosperous people.
We pass Forts Buford, Assinniboino and Benton, on the Missouri river—important government posts in their day, but now the frontier is gone.
In 1804 Lewis and Clark, under Thomas Jefferson's administration, made the first exploration of the northwest, going to the Pacific ocean. They were three years in making the round trip—now it is but four days from Chicago to Puget sound.
We area day at Great Falls of the Missouri, a town two years old, with 2,000 inhabitants, water works, electric lights and a smelting plant that cost $1,000,000.
We visited Helena and saw the constitutional convention the day it adjourned, Our last day we spent at Butte, the largest mining camp in the world, and then turned our faces homeward.

A good rain is badiy needed just now. George Long has bought a new safe. It is a daisy.
George Washburn and family are visiting at Lake Maxinkuckee. Health is terribly good, the doctors say, and look down their nostrils.
Ira Stout had a troublesome tumor removed from his neck last Monday. It is feared the dry weather, if continued, will cut the corn crop considerably.
Sam Mittey has taken quarters with Dr. Washburn and forsaken the livery stable. The rumor is that at least two changes will be made in our business houses in the near future.
It is said that Wint Washburn will take the grip and commence traveling for a wholesale house soon. |ffM

Wheat is coming in at a lively rate, and the New Richmond market is still a few cents better than elsewhere.
The potato crop is promising, and if the crop is as plentiful as is expected 25c a bushel will be the market price.
The cemetery west of here is in better shape than it has been for a long time and we hope it will be kept that way.

Why can't New Richmond have some secret lodges, as well as other places? A Masonic, Odd Fellows or Good Templare lodge would do well here.
New Richmond democrats are promised the use of blacksmith's anvils to make noise with if they should need them. Competition is the life of trade.
John Detchon has a full photographer's outfit and takes good pictures. He does not charge anything, either, which is below all competition we ever heard of.
Our village can boast of less drunkenness, thieving and general cussedness than any place of its size in the State. New Richmond is a model town, if you please.

Scott Dewey and Will Ebrite had some very saucy words for each other last week and would have punched each other's noses, a la Sullivan, if their friends had not interfered and stopped them.

Ed King slept soundly while the fire was in progress Saturday night. When he arose next morning and Baw nothing standing but the brick chimney he had to piuch himseir to see if he was awake.
It is said that some old soldiers do not like Corporal Tanner's way of pensioning deserters from the army, while some that have honorable discharges and honorable wounds can get but very light pensions. All they have to do is to vote for honest men, and they will get honest treatment.
Anew house belonging to Sam Tribby took fire last Saturday night and burned to the ground. It had just been finished, ready for occupancy, and would have been occupied this It was the finest house in this place, and the town receives quite a setback by the loss. It is thought it was Bet on fire.

A freight train killed a cow of Mr. Copeland's last week, making three that have been killed near the same place. It is time the railroad compahy fixed its track so cattle could not get on it, which it is amply able to do, being one of the best paying roads in tbe State at the present time.
At the fire last Saturday night had there been a hand engine to be had the lire could have been controlled 20 minutes after it was discovered, and all the fires we have ever had could have been controlled bad we bad such an article. All tbe buildings here are all low, and if one could be bought it would save enough property in a very few years, to fully repay all it would cost.
The stealing that has been going on In Montgomery county for several years makes it look like the people and taxpayers were taking a Rip VanWinkle sleep. When it comes to making people pay for a gravel road the third time it looks like a terrible wrong was being perpetrated some place, and where is that place? Is there no one so intelligent as to find out where it exists, or has some one found it and been bought off? The man that finds out where all the taxpayers' money has gone, and exposes it, will be the man for the people of Montgomery county to vote for. Now who will be that one? The taxpayers' eyes are open, every move is being watched, aud if some officers that are now located in the court house don't fulfill pri raises made two years ago, they will be sat upon
