Eli Perkins when here expressed his opin
ion very favorably toward st. Vincent anG
remarked that corner lots, selling for $12l
now, would be held at 81, ,25O inside of three
years. Our merchants are patronized BY
Manltobians, and after paying duties, claim
they save money. Pembina, across the
river, does large share of her trading here
The Northern Pacific officials spent about al
hour looking our town over and were very
favorably impressed.
At a..meeting of citizens of St. Vincent las
Saturday. June 7th, it was decided to hold
grand celebration of the 4th of July. Hon
j. w. Taylor, American Consul at Winnipeg
will deliver the Grafton, Capt. Collins ant
officers at Fort Pembina cooperate.
Freight for Winnipeg and points mort!
entirely cleared up at this point. The nev
custom house building at Pembin
will be occupied by E. McMurtrie and as
sistants tomorrow.
ST. Vincent and Pembina should unite i
putting up first class ferry transfer. Th
traffic across the river is very heavy an
charges exorbitant. Our lumber dealer
complain that they cannot get lumber t
meet the demand of trade. One firm hay
twenty five cars ordered ahead.
A general invitation is extended to th
readers of tho GLOBE, and every one, to a.
! tend our 4th of July celebration, and
good time promised by yours,
