The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1889-06-22

parties wanted land or assistance III
establishing industrial enterprises
That was what, in his opinion, was
needed in Superior. We want and
must have resident management
with fall power to act promptly in
matters of ordinary magnitude The
organization Of this company, as he
understood it, would give us this, and
that the day of hunting up lot owners
was past for all time He was glad TO
meet the visitors and assured them Of
his hearty cooperation.
Mr.. Roberts thought the representa-
tlyes of the company would like to
know how we felt toward them. He
thought every one was friendly and
willing to do all he could to further
any move looking to the development
Of the town that might be set on foot.
The town proprietors, resident and
non resident, had done much for the
\. L. Il. il. Co, and he thought that
organization had not done The square
realize their folly of the past, and
would now ''about face" and show d
Zeal0usness worthy of such corpo-
ration in helping to build up our city.
Mr.. Lee was here on legal business
and was not directly interested i'll the
city. Bat he has visited the place
several times and had general inter
est in it and a desire to see it
grow. lie sees Il vast mineral and ag
ricultural empire stretching out to the
west and Northwest OF us, which is al
ready demanding that we build our
barns and st0r1houses larger to receN e
the product of that empire on its way
to the East and fore gu countries. He
thinks Duluth viii be a nice little city
bat that nature never intended that a
large city should grow up on that
great hillside, and he says there is no
two ends to this town, but that it is
q II one and could not be divided by d
unanimous vote Of the people. Now is
the time to act. The minerals beyond
should be utilized here.
Nh. Pearson, Of Duluth, but a
gentleman also largely interested in
Superior and a member of the Cham
Der of Commerce, spoke of Duluth's
early days and attributed her first sue
cessful start i'll 1889, to the work of
the lumber and saw mill men. He
was glad to see the interest being
taken, and the plans adopted for the
advancement Of the town.
Mr.. Bardon spoke at some length re-
viewing the Importance OF the saw
mill, and showing how the excellent
pine timber of Douglas county had
| been taken past our own doors to
make business for and to build up Du-
Iuth. lie thought our resources
should be kept and utilized at home,
and to this end he advocated tn
theory if fostering and encouraging
saw mills.
Col. Uayes covered to some extent the
same ground, but dWelt upon the de
cay Of the Nemadji river as a CONNER
cial stream through long years Of al
most criminal inactivity, until the
people were at last aroused by Ou
common enemy, Duluth, i'll its effort,
to bridge the Nemadji at its moutt
from Wisconsin to Minnesota Point
He too thought it was high time t
begin to do something for eur sci
preservation.
About this time someone looked al
his watch and discovered that it wa
time TO go to dinner, the meeting
being So interesting that the flight o
time had not been noticed. The elec
ton of officers was therefore postponed
and made the special order for mex
Monday morning at 1879, at whiCl
time full attendance is desired.
