An IMPORTANT PRoIeor shork lima
since Commodore Davidson secured con-
trolling interest in the Keoksk Northern
Line Packet Company, which gave him,
with the line Of boats he already had BE-
tween st. Louis aud New Orleans,
through line from St. Paul to the mouth Of
the Mississippi. The st. Paul Pres. says
the purpose Of Commodore Davidson is to
give to Minnesota and the Northwest q
water route to the European seaboard,
and that line Of ocean steamers 10 not
among the improbabilities. His scheme is
said to ''inolude the developing Of the re-
sources Of the Mississippi above st. An
thony Falls, transporting the vast wheat
crop Of Mlanesots to the European market
by water. He has an interest in the
steamer Pokegoma, plying between Brain
erd and Pokegoma Falls, and it would be
an easy matter to place light draft boats
on tho Mississippi above st. Anthony Falls.
The wheat crop to be shipped from that
section is in itself q considerable proper
ton Of the crop of the State of Minnesota,
and is each year growing, by reason Of the
development Of the country" Northern
Minnesota would hail with joy an enter
prise Of this kind, and in the hands Of Com
modore Davidson it could net fail of all the
success which it is possible for capital,
energy and perseverance to secure.
NEWSPAPER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
advertising is now recognized by business
men, having faith in their own wares, as
the most effective means for securing for
their goods wide recognition Of their
merits.
Newspaper advertising impels inquiry,
and when the article offered is of good
quality and at fair price, the natural re-
suit is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is q permanent
addition to the reputation of tho goods ad-
vertised, because it is a permanent influ-
ence always at work in their interest.
Newspaper advertising is the most ener.
getic and vigilant Of statesmen addressing
thousands each day, always in the adver-
Users interest, and ceaselessly at work
seeking customers from all classes.
Newspaper advertising promotes trade,
for even in tho dullest times advertisers
secure by far tho largest share Of what il
being done.-John MQnninq.
