Superior City, we breakfasted at The
Euclid, royal hotel recently built by
{. L. Catlin, late of Hudson, at cost
OF $4,000. The building is large and
elegantly finished in oak, and the fur
niture IS of better grade than is
usually found in the hotels of cities
the size of Superior. Here it was that
our party first encountered broiled
white fish, and for the benefit or
amateur travellers, we say, eat white
fish on Lake Superior. The rain had
by this time done its worst, and if you
have been there under like circum-
stances, you know what that red clay
is. On the walks it is as slippery as
grease and it clings to the clothing
and shoes with waxy tenacity. After
breakfast we embarked on the steamer
Plowboy and had the weather been
less rough outside, would have made
the passage to the other end of town
by going out at the south entrance of
the harbor and returning to the har-
Dor again through the Duluth en-
trance. But the waves frightened
some of our ladies and the captain re-
turned to port and made the passage
to West Superior behind the bar. The
rain falling cold and increasingly, and
all the backs that could be got against
the smoke stack sought comfort in dry
ing clothing and warming the body.
West Superior is said to be only
three years old and a population of
1000 is claimed for it. Certainly it is
erecting elevators and docks for an
immense shipping business. SUCH
docks and elevators are nowhere else
to be found on the whole chain of
lakes and more are being constructed.
In hotels and merchantile blocks. she
makes a fine showing, and we can see
nothing in the way of her making a
large city. The head OF the lake is
where land and water come together;
the very line where the East and W est
meet. Lake Superior cannot be
bridged, it must be gone around and
in doing so the head of the lake must
be reached. There must be at least
fifty square miles of level land in the
tract of land, or site upon which Supe-
rior is building city Of future great
ness. Some four or five railroads cen
ter there, and more are to be built,
and if railroads and shipping can do
anything for town, Superior is in
luck. To show the wonderful growth
of that ports business in five years we
give the figures of receipts and ship
ments, in value;
