ENTHUSIASTIC JOBBERs.
They Declare the $500" Country a
Paradise.

Paradise.
The special train bearing the Mime
apolis jObbers on their return from
their excursion to Sault Ste. Marie, over
the $500 road, arrived at 4:SO o'clock
yesterday. The party, individually and
collectively, were enthusiastic over
their trip, and declared the splendid
new country through which they had
passed as little less than revelation.
Willard d Thyle's band accompanied
them, and they were royalty received
wherever they stopped. The following
resolutions adopted by the jobbers tes-
tify abundantly to the royal time en-
joyed, and the munificent hospitality of
the officers of the $500"
Resolved, That our excursion TO the 500
has been the most delightful in which we
ever engaged, since our residence in Mime
sofa. The perfect weather, the genial com
pany the Completeness 81 tii5 apparatus i1f
the pleasure of both hosts and guests, left
nothing to be desired TO contribute TO the
unalloyed enjoyment of the excursion;
Resolved, That we are more than ever i'm
pressed with the great importance OF the
various interests of Minneapolis and the en-
tire Northwest of this line, opening as 1t
does, irect,teXpeditious, and independent
route to the East, opening up also the best
timber and mineral resources of the territory
traversed by it, and which is calculated TO
add UNNECESSARILY to the growth OF the
manufacturing as well as jobblng interests
of our city; that we have been impressed
also with the thoroughness with which the
road has been built and the superb manner
i'll which it has been equipped, and most
heartily testify to our appreciation at the dis
cernmeDt of our fellow townsman, Gen.
Washburn, IN protecting the route, ana the
courage and perseverance displayed by him
and his associates in carrying the road Tor
ward TO completion.
Resolved, That we arise especially to ex-
press thanks TO General Manager Under
wood, General Passenger Agent Taylor Gen
eral Freight Agent Shute, General SupeTln-
tendent Pennington and Supt. Holt, of the
dining and sleeping car department, for their
untiring zeal displayed in our behalf during
this three days journey, and that we must
return thanks to the citizens OF Gladstone
for the welcome extended, and to the citi-
zens of Sault Ste. Marie for their generous
and cordial hospitality during our too brief
stay in their beautiful and promising city,
and trust that personal acquaintance thus
formed may result largely to our mutual
advantage.
Resolved, That we are also indebted to
Willard & Thyle's band that furnished music
on all suitable occasions, which was most
welcome and highly appreciated.
Resolved further Bhat our thanks be ex-
tended to the train hands, one and all. who,
by courtesy, fidelity and zeal, have contrib
uted alike TO our safely and comfort.
