MINNEAPoLIs, June /, 1873.
Since our writing the business community
has quite settled down to its wonted equinimity
and the work of mill-building is going on
where it was inaugurated at the time of the
explosion, whilst other victims of the disaster
are also moving the debris and making ready
for a restoration. There are new mills pro-
jected to contain SO runs of stones in place
of the SS runs destroyed, and 81 runs ad-
ditional are likely to be erected the present
season or at all events begun, whilst other
projects ara 10 a fair way of being carried out
to further augment the milling power of Min
neapols to 300 runs. So the boast of the st.
Louis paper to the effect that ''the disaster at
Minneapolis made ST. Louis the greatest flour
producing town in the United States" will be
of little avail and the former city can soon
again take the back seat.
The Cool remplars of the United States
with representatives from Great Britain
and the Canadas have have had week of
uninterrupted labor in the furtherance of their
works Of charity and good will towards the
sons of men.
The reception of the order on Monday at
Association Hall was cordial on the part Of
the governor, the mayor and chief officer Of
the board of trade whilst the responses by the
members of the grand lodge proved that they
had slipped of the cup that provokes fun and
good cheer although unaccompanied by the un-
dersirable effect produced by the other cup.
We believe the brother and sister-hood depart
with the belief that Minneapolis is more Of q
town than they had anticipated, knowing 1t
to be located at the old st. Anthony Fall, so
lately on the confines and the home Of the
rowing red man.
Last but not least Annie Louise Cary, the
gifted and beloved daughter of Maine, has
wrapped her waterproof around her and
betakes herself to the classic walks of Portland
SEATED by the sea-" So our last and latest loss
will be your gain.
Miss Gary has never, previous to this week,
favored the denzens of the West more north
wardly than Milwaukee, with the extreme
pleasure of listening to her soul stirring songs
and to the more classical morsels she favors
concert-goers with. All we had to wish for
was that it had been the operal Bot she prom
ises TO come again and now she knows what
welcome will always await her. Miss Gary is
very weary, (any one else would be helpless
in hospital), as she has travelled from Chicago
since Sunday night, and sang six times up to
Friday night. St Paul was honored by con-
cert Thursday and matinee Friday, and Min
neapolis by concerts on Tuesday aud Friday.
The Harmonica Qaartette of Chicago, consist
ing Of Madames Farwell and Balfour and
Messrs Howard and Sloan, who accompanied
Miss. Gary, all earning more than local repu-
tation and are fine and finished singers in their
several parts Mr.. Frank Baird of Chicago,
was the pianist and accompanist of the occa-
sion. We shall keep very green spot in our
memory for them all until they come again.
Mr.. Geo. f. Foster has iust left us for trip
to the Southwest. He staid here long enough
to shake hands once or twice with his acquaint-
ances, which consumed considerable time as
his popularity is measured only by his acqusint-
ance with men. We have to tally one against
your citizen, A. j. Chase, who was booked
with the Templars but who has not put in an
appearance up to date. Andrew does not
know what he missed in not coming to Minne-
apols. Mr.. Weston left for home a week ago.
The weather has been most propitious up to
date for the crops, but just now we are getting
more moisture than seems desirable. oome-
thing has given wheat very black eye the
past week and various men of margins are now
finding them on the wrong sides.
The streams must all be in full banks now
and the lumbermen have reason to rejoics in
their prospects for the coming season.
