TERMS REASONABLE.
/ The above is taken from the card Of
the Avery House and we can vouch for
thettruth Of the statements, altexcept the
terms being, reasonable, and of that we
have no doubt The reason why we can
not vouch for tibet being reasonable
is thisaa We had no bill to pay. Having
stated to Mr.. Avery aud others that be
fore leaving home we contemplated visit
ing Superior for cur own pleasure and
information and tina. the visit was not
made for the benefit of Superior,we wore
not little surprised when leaving on
calling for the bill for our entertainments
to be Informed by Mr., Avery there was no
bill and to be presented with pass on
the tug to Duluth. The entertainment OF
ourself and Mr.. Morse at the Avery
House was free,f and our passage from
Duluth tn Superior and return was with
out cost to either of usyl' This libcrali-
ty is in such strange contrast with what
we met some other places that it is

A CITY AT THE HEAD OF LAKE. SUPERIOR.
Some time in the future there will be
q large city or cities at the head of Lake
Superior-not Chicago but one of great
Importance. Where that city is to be
and whether there is to be one or two is
for the future to determine. Nature had
done everything in her power for Superior
and nothing or but very little For Duluth.
Unfortunately for Superior old politicians,
members of. Congress- and others, know.
ing the advantages of Superior obtained
the title to the land, hid out the city, Sc
cured munifcent land grant from Con-
G ress-the st. Croix Land Grant-for a
Railroad from the Mississippi to Superior
and left the Railroad to build itself
and Superior to take care Of Itself. They
were nonresidents, did nothing to build
up city, nor would they sell to others
who would for reasonable prices if at all.
And Wisconsin did but little by legis-
latlon-nothing which has yet proved of
any valqe-for the benefit Of Superior,
Commerce demanding place of business
at the head of the lake and the nonrcsi.
dent owners OF Superior and the nonas
sistance Of Wisconsin called Duluth into
existence. Men of intelligence and en-.
tcrprize sew the opportunity as we'll as
the necessity and improved 1t, and Min
nesota came promptly to the assistance of
Duluta by providing for railroad from
