Excerpt from The Lands of the Northern Pacific Railroad Lands in Minnesota The flora embraces several varieties of pine, also cedar, fir, tamarack, balsam, ash, aspen, elm, maple, birch, oak, and other woods, and is identical with the flora of New York, Pennsylvania, the New-England States, and Canada. There are numerous streams, lakes, and ponds, through which the lumber is run into the Mississippi, floated to Minneapolis, and there manufactured. Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Northern Missouri receive a huge portion of the lumber required for the building of houses or for fencing from this section of the north-west. The Northern Pacific Railroad runs along the southern border of the pine region, and crosses the Mississippi at Brainerd, about one hundred and fifty miles above Minneapolis. Lumber to the amount of two hundred million feet is floated down the river every year from the section of country traversed by the railroad, or from the region north of it. Hitherto, nearly all of this great amount has been manufactured at Minneapolis; but steam-mills are erecting at Brainerd, and the prairie region of the Red-river Valley, Western Minnesota, and Dakota, will hereafter be supplied with lumber manufactured at that point. There are excellent facilities for the erection of steam-mills at Brainerd, upon the shore of a small lake, into which the logs may be driven from the river, and securely boomed. Not only at Brainerd, but at other points along the line, superior advantages are offered for the manufacture of lumber into doors, sashes, blinds, finishing-material, agricultural implements, farm-wagons, carriages, and furniture. In this forest region there are many meadows and marshes covered with luxuriant native grasses, where thousands of tons of hay may be had for the cutting. From these natural meadows the lumbermen's teams are supplied with hay during the winter. The blue-joint, foul-meadow, and red-top, and other varieties of grass, are indigenous, and yield not unfrequentlv three tons per acre. As the timber disappears before the lumberman's axe, the country will be dryer; and there are large tracts which ultimately will be brought under cultivation, as has been the case in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
