that MAGNIFICENT TRIP,
fConcluded1

=
After brief hitch in the program
by which the excursion cars were
pulled oyer to Duluth, the party were
returned to, and landed at the depot in
Superior, where they were taken in
hand by a committee and conducted to.
"The Euclid" amagniicent new hotel,
where a breakfast fit for the kings was
found in waiting for as hungry party
as you often find, and Landlord Taylor
could not help but be satisfied with the
manner in which his guests showed
their appreciation of the fine spread
prepared for them.
After an hour spent in visiting, ad-
miring the beauty of "The Euclid" and
the fine view to be had from the roof
thereof, the party were invited to take
steamboat ride. Boarding the Plow-
boy we wrere soon steaming down the
Bay of Superior, around Minnesota
Point and out on the sparkling waters
of Lake Superior. The air was cool,
and bracing, and the enjoy
ment Of the occasion was heightened
by the excellent music Of the Redfield
and Superior bands. After a brief ride
on the lake the boat passed through
the Duluth canal, by the docks and
immense elevators and into st, Louis
bay, finally landing at West Superior,
where the train was found in waiting.
The party were soon landed at the new
and elegant "West Superior" hotel
unsurpassed in finish and furnishings
by few in the northwest. Time being
allowed for the ladies to adjust their
bonnets, the doors Of the dining hall
were thrown open. After few words
of welcome from Secretary Street of
the chamber of commerce and re-
sponse from Col. Evans, the wanderers
showed their appreciation of the fine
repast served, by their actions. Re-
turning to the train the next point of
interest was the steel works, then the
coke ovens, after which, bidding our
Superior friends good bye, the train
pulled out for Duluth.
The Duluth committee who met the
excurslonists, rendered the Dakota
Press association the freedom Of the
city, including the superb Spalding
house, which is so high up that they
have their dining hall on the sixth
floor. This house occupies a position
among the hotels of the northwest par
allel to that held by the Ryan of st.
Paul and West of Minneapolis. Mon
day morning a carriage ride of several
hours duration was taken, and though
all were expecting to see in Duluth a
progressive, enterprising city, they
were greatly surprised at the fine resi-
dences, substantial business blocks.
ETC., which met their gaze at every
turn.
Bidding our hospitable entertainers
farewell soon after dinner, the iron
horse bore us on our way towards our
homes, and as we passed through West
Superior, and the waters of her harbor
were lost to view, the editor of the
Herald, for one, thought, here is to be
the future great city of the northwest" !"
AT St. Paul the party put up at the
"Clifton," but none of them will ever
be guilty Of doing so again. Here the
party separated, each going his way to
his home on the fair prairies of Dakota,
feeling that while the cities which he
had visited may have their advantages
over their younger cities IN the far
west, yet, were it not for the broad
acres of Dakota and her sisters, the
cities to the east of them would not
haye the wherewith with which to
support their many lines of trade and
commerce.
