persons interested in the No rthwest. At
Detroit, Mich, the car was also visited by
board of trade delegation, and all through
Canada, at every station where it stopped,
the car was crowded by curious and admir-
ing people. At Suspension Bridge, where
the Car remained several hours, among the
numerous visitors was an old granger who
couldn't believe what his eyes showed him
of the excellence of the products of the
"Golden Northwest" He thought the clean,
bright, hard and yet flexible straw of the
grain had been prepared for exhibition by
sleeping or washing in some preparation,
for he had never seen such grain grown in
his country. And he thought the tall grain
from Minnesota and Dakota and the very
tall grass from Montana must have been
splicsd. But after critical examination
and minute search for signs of deception, he
gave in and owned up convinced that
it was all real and honest.

The August travel to White Bear lake this
year was in numbers about 1900 less than

mascus canmandery had its encampment at

of 1879 it sold 11,763, and in the same
months of 1880, 1854. That is, the aver

vertises excursion rates to Chicago during

The st. Paul & Manitoba new lines are
being pushed towards completion with great
rapidity. Materials of construction are being
sent out daily. On the Morris & Browns

has been laid and the track layers will reach
Browns valley about month from now.

is being graded and will be ironed this fall
for the purpose Of taking in lumber and 9TH
er materials for the summer cottages, hotels,

graded, but the first four miles, in and near
Minneapolis, involves considerable heavy
work.
