and the late j. c. Burbank, navigated
the stage coach over the prairies of the
Northwest and is now doing the same
for the Black Hills.
DIR. j. II. Bryant is prominent mem
Der of the chamber of commerce. Re
Gently he has spent the greater part of
his time in California where he pur-
chased several huge tracts of land. DIR.
Hagen and himself have been interested
together in several real estate deals
near Los Angeles, California.
DR.. Hagen formerly lived in st. Paul,
where he practiced his profession.
About eight CT ten years ago he left. st.
Paul, and went to the Sandwich Islands
and became head physician to the king,

fession and dealing in real estate.

can accomplish an immense amount of
work without causing any perceptible
noise or disturbance. This was demon
strated last winter when he arranged
that notable street parade of st. Paul
industries, and also by the way he man
aged the matters in his department at
the state fair.
H. A. Castle. who is put down in the
list of perpetual members of the cham
Der of commerce of st. Paul as capt.
taliSt, is little Known as newspaper
man. For many years he was the editor
and proprietor of the Dispatch In
those days the Dispatch was kind of a
cross between the wasp and the hornet.
The wasp end of the institution was all
''business." Capt. Castle made it quite
interesting for any one that saw fit to
disturb the chip on his shoulder, and he
always carried one there.
Gen. &. G.. Andrews and eX-Gov. w.
r.. Marshall followed Mr.. Castle in the
ownership of the Dispatch. After they
entered the sacred precincts of the edi-
torial room the paper was eminentiy re-
the ability to stir up the animals.
Col. j. II. Davidson is one of the
prominent members of the chamber of
commerce, and is liable to have his say.
He has decided opinions, generally, and
expresses them very f0rclbly and
clearly. He is now engaged in perfect
ing patent for steam mOter that will
not emit smoke or steam, and is noise
less.
Judge Chandler, of the Milwaukee &
st. Paul road, is one of the characters
of st. Paul. He is member of the
chamber but seldom attends the meet
ings of that body. He says that if the
members see fit to make him president
he would attend regularly, and give
some rulings that would open their
eyes.
William Dawson, ST., has been a
member of the chamber for many years,
but as his health has not been good for
sometime he has been South during
the winters.
E. i. Drake was formerly constant
attendant upon the meetings of the
chamber. OF late years he has attended
them less frequently. This is owing
to the fact that he was abroad for several
years.
j. j. Hill is enrolled among the men,
berS. but seldom attends the meetings.
Judge Fiandrau is one of the most
useful members that belongs to that
body, especially when the city is Wis
tied by any important organization from
abroad, when a good public speaker
and good POSTMASTER is wanted. he
is always ready in reply and exceed
ingly happy in humorous remarks.
ID. w. 1ngerSOll has been member of
the chamber ever since the waters dried
off the earth after the flood. There has
been good deal connected with the
chamber that he found some difficulty
~. L 4,
very strict in his principles and when.
in entertaining prominent men from
abroad, banquetS were given at which
wine was INDUCED in. he allowed others
to do the entertaining. One of the
principal organizations that he took an
interest in was the state fair. For this
he has struggled with an unchanging
devotion.
r. W. Johnson was president of the
chamber in 1875. He was one of the
best looking and most imposing in ap
pearance of all the presidents, and pre-
sided with great deal of dignity.
r. H. Kelly is the same active man in
the chamber that he is in his own busl-
ness, and never allows any obstacle to
obStruct his plans, or anything he un-
dertakeS.
f. G.. Rogers seldom fails to be pres
ent when he is in the city, and when he
speaks upon any subject always hits
the nail on the head.
G.. HI. Lienau is vigorous man in car
rying anything through deiiberative
body. When he esrouseS a cause he
always takes off his coat and gets to
work.
William Lindeke is another active
man in the same line. though he goes at
the business in very different way.
J. p. Gribben is one of the Self-made
men of st. Paul, and has been much
more successful than many men that
have had better opportunities. But a
few years ago he was clerk in Keller S
lumber yard. On the corner of Seventh
and Minnesota streets, and suffered Sc
riouSly from i'll health. Industry aud
fortunate investments have made vast
difference in his worldly possessions
within very few years.
NJ. Auerbach does not attend the
meetings of the chamber, though he
has been member for years. Business
engagements constitute his reason.
Long attention to business and years of
hard work have given Mr.. Auerbach
a right to some relief. This he will
take, as soon as he can close up his
business engagements here, by crossing
the water and meeting his family now
in Europe.
A. *. Barnum is comparatively a
young man, but he has been very sue
cessful one in accommodating wealth.
His possessions lie very favorably. most
of them being at Hamline, and close to
the Minnesota Transfer.
Bruno Beaupre is one of the most
philosophical, and at the same time
practical men in st. Paul. He lives a
sensible life by being moderate in re-
gard to all matters. He has made a
great deal of money, is doing a very
large grocery business, and has been
fortunate enough to get it into such
shape that he can place it largely in the
hands of good business men connected
with him. All that he needs to do is to
exercise a sort of general supervision.
This gives him ample opportunity to en-
