about three hours spent here, and in
viewing the recent changes in cold

hours were spent III this manner af-
fording the party an excellent idea OF
the wonderful harbor and the great
natural advantages the head of the
lake possesses as a safe and easy dis
tributing point for the great north
west. On the excursion we also got a
very good idea of the dock and elevator
equipments; also of the remarkable
advantages Superior has for drainage
and other requirements for the great
city.

THE SUPERIOaS.
Old Superior, as is well known, was
settled more than thirty years ago,
but being a decade in advance of the
great through lines to the Eastern
and Western seabords sank into
comatose state. When it awoke, like
old Rip Van Wrinkle, it discovered
many marvellous changes. Duluth had
grown from small hamlet into an op-
nlent commercial city; West Superior
had in mere nick of time developed
from nothing into booming town of
1900 people. About year and half
ago Old Town walked up and took in
the situation. 1t decided that if the
Head of the Lakes was actually on the
move it proposed to move with it.
And move it did The Old Town and
the New Town pooled their issues,
organized into one municipality and
both are now pulling together for one
common end-to build up flourishing
city to be known as Superior, without
prefiXes or SutiiXes. The Euclid, the
land syndicate and the beautiful new
school house, is giving an impetus to
the East End, while vigOr, vim and a
big start are doing wonders for the
West side. Both pulling together
may attain the acme of the ideal
bommer's hopes:-a city as large as
Landon anG as beautiful as Paris. 1t
really is as coed as tonic to leave the
staid old haunts Of lower Badgerdom
and go North for a day and drink a
few schooners of Lake Superior boom
water with Brothers Street, Christie,
French, Mckay and MoultOn. The
STAR scribe enjoyed the celebrating
effect, and has trusted ever since that
their city may out Aladdin Aladdin III
its fruition.
