west that would cut 250,000,00O feet OF

The Mount Vernon farmer never saw
as much wheat in his life as is ground
in Minneapolis i'll aday.
The father of his country was pretty
good fellow. but he should have come
West and settled in Minneapolis. In his
time NicOllet avenue lots that are worth
now 81 800 foot could have been had
for two scalps mile.
If G. w. had been inaugurated in 1889
instead of 1889. he might have men,
toned that Minneapolis does S45,000,000
year In jobbing trade, grinds 100000
barrels of flour a year, and cuts 351, $685.
SOL feet of lumber.
The commander-in-chief of the RevO-
lutionary armies never reviewed as many
troops as there were children in the
Sunday school procession last fall.
Minneapolis exported in 1883 more
than enough flour to have fed Wash
ingtOn'S army throughout the war.
The operations of the general post
Office in Washington's day scarcely ex-
ceeded the receipts and expenditures of
the Minneapolis poStoffice in 1883. The
financial transactions amounted to
S1,955,6S
In 1890, the second year of Washing
toms presidency. the gross receipts of
the general postal department were
SS7,955, and expenditures $50, 14O. In
1888 the gross receipts of the MinneapO-
lis Office alone were 1920, 1888, and its net
income Sl9l, 421.
If the first Virginian could visit Min
neapoliS to-day he would see enough
wheat in store to have kept the whole
population fat in his day.
If George Washington were now alive,
and should visit Minneapolis, he would
feast his eyes on city of 225 ,000 inhab-
itants, nearly4 800 of whom are named
George Washington.
"A man who never told single story
in his life would have been much sur
prised by the nine-s;ory Lumber EX-

G. Washington certainly never saw
anything like the city council.

On that dark, stormy night Gen. W.
was ferried over the Delaware he would
have appreciated the steel arch bridge.
There were 10 HeSsian flies on G. w.,
and yet he never played game of base
ball or had a chance to whoop when one
of Morton's millerS knocked out four
baser.
BY visiting Minneapolis President
Washington could find some of the
iineal descendants of members of his
cabinet residing in a land that was be-
You'd the pale of civilization one hun.
dred years ago.
Washington retired TO Mount Vernon
after leaving public life, and seemed
ObliviouS to the fact that he could have
had Fair Oaks at that time for a song,
or built cottage on the shores of Min
netonka for a mere nothing.
In his farewell address, Washington
neglected to mention the Minneapolis
mills; nor, though he was interested in
internal improvements, did he say a
word about the ten roads centering in
Minneapolis. Doubtless if he had it to
do again, he would be more careful.

being so built that they can be run on

facility. And cars arriving at either
terminus of the cable line from the
horse railways will be attached to the
grip cars and drawn to the proper point

to be extended from its present ter

the season, and several other minor
changes will be made.

Conrad Z. Birch, 23 years old, was ac-

Mt Harrowgate, was charged OH two bills
of indictment with burglary at the house
of Thomas wilkins, at Harrowgate.
Birch had been paying attention tn Lem

years, but his attention had been objected

forbidden the house. Determined to have

and begged him not to shoot. An officer
was sent for and the young man was ar
"Aren't there Some relations existing

Alonzo. the son, c~orroborated his
