wards the Red River valley, and every st.

100000 bushels of wheat, the most of which
will grade No. l hard when properly cleaned.

The Lindstrom farm, on the Chisago lakes,
has been purchased by st. Paul men and is
to be laid out for railway village and sum-
| mer resort. The fine forest grove on the
shore of the lower lakes will be reserved for

side of the village will be laid out in roomy
lots for summer cottages, while the business
houses and most of the dwellings, of resi-

The laying of the porcelain glazed brick
with which the walls of the great hall of the
union depot are to be faced has been begun

nicely of the work the masons have to do,

effect of the glazed surface and varied colors
when the great arched hall is finished.

were overcrowded yesterday with
people coming to the Minneapolis
