tons, while her retail business is
improving beyond precedent. The
real estate business shows less of
excitement, it may be, and fictitious
and fancy prices are gliding into
permanent channels, there is no
doubt, but all that argues good for
the future. Let us then, make no
mistakes or blunders. Let our
leading men pull together with
forecast, wisdom and perfect har-
mony until energy and confidence
shall have stamped permanency
upon all that pertains to our young
city. All danger of being destroy
ed or stripped by the rough and
floating element is passed. Our
city authorities have maintained
their rule. The trust imposed in
them by our people has not been
misplaced. Let US continue to hold
up their hands until every show of
danger is passed, until the flow of
emigration, capital and trade shall
have built up the finest and most
substantial inland city west of the
Mississippi.-[E Eagle.
