| st. Cloud has many natural advant-
ages It has a goodly share of live, pro-
gressive citizens, too. There is no mis-
taking the fact that together, in the
next ten years, they will prove of untold
benefit to the city's prosperity. The
growth is rapid now, but after all it is
only the beginning of a long, continu-
| GUS boom.

The Grand Central Hotel accemmo-
dated large majority Of the delegates
who attended the convention. The
Grand Central is cne of the best hotels
ir.. St. Cloud; that at least was the
opinion formed by delegates in attend
ance at the A. 0. e. convention. Mine
Host Hayward was both attentive and
| obliging and the sentiment was unani-
nous in his favor for the satisfactory
manner in which he treated those
whose good luck it was to stay at his
excellent hotel.

wed with each other in making it pleas

| 1t is the universal opinion Of the A.
.. HI. delegates that their brothers Of
the St. Cloud division deserve marked
commentator for their endeavors in
entertaining their visitors from abroad.

The press of St. Cloud did nobly by
the Order. Particularly may THE be
said OF The Daily Times. The Times is
certainly an excellent daily editorially
and geographically and is deserving of
most hearty support. The enterprise
displayed in securing the news, and all
the news, is On a par with that Of the
dailies of The twin cities C. E. Mac
Donald is its publisher and he is cer-
tainly the right man in the right place.

During the progress of the late bien-
NAL convention Of the A.. @. II. in St,
Cloud, the sprightly Daily Times of chat
city, so ably edited by G. T. Macdonald,
devoted much OF its space to the Order.
