The Ice Carnival Cordially Endorsed
--Board OF Grade DOiu2s.
The board Of trade spent most of its time
yesterday in an empty discussion OF how it
should edit the newspaper reports Of its
proceedings. and. failing to reach any salts
factory conclusion, referred the matter to
the committee Oh rules, to present bylaw
covering the case. The plea is that pub
lcitv has sometimes been given matters
that should have remained secret, and harm
has resulted. 1t was a matter of remark
during the discussion that the old men were
all opposed to the newspapers, while the
Young men favored the widest publicity.
That the latter will triumph, there is not
the slightest doubt
WANT MANUFACTURING.
In brilliant speech, j. T. Wyman called
attention to the fact that Minneapolis should
be up and doing in the line of manufactures
while we rejoice" he said. lover every
new business house established, yet one
manufacturing establishment, employing a
hundred hands, will benefit the city
more than a dozen such houses" The
idea was taken up and favorably com
mented upon by the board, and the recent
action of st. Paul, in the same direction.
was generally considered as the prcper
course. Every day some member of the
board is in receipt of letters from proposed
or established manufacturing concerns
asking what Minneapolis would do for
them. Mr.. Wynan offered the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That every encouragement
should be extended 10 manufacturing inter
eSts to locate in Minneapolis.
Resolved. That the time has arrived for
the organization Of company with
capital stock of $3.50, 900 or more, to aid in
the establishment and fostering OF such
industries in this city, by securing sites and
making loans at fair rate of interest for
that purpose.
The matter was referred to a special
committee of five, of which Mr.. Wyman
will be chairman. the other four TO be
hereafter named by the chair.
WILL ATTEND THE ICE CARNIVAL.
Without comment Mr.. Blakely offered
the following:
Resolved. That the Minneapolis board of
trade takes pleasure in commencing the
terprise OF st. Paul in the matter of the forth
coming ice carnival, which cannot fail to re-
suit probably moth as a magnet to draw
strangers to Minnesota during the winter and
as the medium of diyersifying our winter
amusements and introducing healthful and
vigorous athletic sports among US, which
shall make our Minnesota winters more at
tractive TO our people well as TO visitors.
Resolved, That we recommend our citizens
to attend the ice carnival as frequently as
possible, and to contribute in all proper ways
to its success.
Resolved, That q committee Of this board
be appointed TO act in conjunction with one
from the city council and one from the
chamber of commerce for the purpose of get
ting up special Minneapolis excursion TO
the carnival upon day to be designated by
said joint committee.

gan and other winter clubs, the Minneapolis
and Nicollet clubs and all other clubs and
ceties of whatever character, and all citizens
of every nationality and creed are cordially
invited to cooperate with this board in the
matter of mammoth excursion as herein
proposed.
Mr.. Blakely accompanied his resolutions
with a little speech, in which he said he
had taken advice of Mr.. Gale and other
prominent men and believed this was the
proper course to pursue. Mr.. Bracket
warmly favored the resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted. Afterward
Mr.. Blethen opposed them as childish and
puerile. and finally, on motion of Gen.
Nettleton, they were referred to commit
tee to be redrafted in simpler form, the idea
being that in their present shape they
seemed inSincere.
