summer homes. All, me! did ever
such autumnal Splendors so giorify any
other place? Our autumns are such as
would have tempted the gods from their
Olympian heights to rest in the suburbs
of st. Paul. Was there ever elsewhere
such soft, sensuous, delicious dreamy
atmosphere? Was there ever elsewhere
such hills and wales so gorgeously clad
with robes of crimson and gold? Did ever
the rubescent Shrubbery so fame and
flash and glorify the landscape as here?

Hon. F. W. Heyt, of Red Wing,
thanked them fortaking him in, but not
in financial point of view. He almost
felt like resident, after being ninety
days in the legislature. st. Paul and
Minneapolis have been absorbing the
rural districts, and they are proud of it.
They are only waiting for the time
when they will all become suburbs of
st. Paul. "Here on this spot" contin-

change! Thirty years ago it was
claimed that Minnesota was not suit

believe this is to be the greatest agricult-
ural center on this continent. In the
work of developing the city, don't
allow the Minneapolis real estate men
to come and take part with you, as they
will take your buildings away to Mime
apolls. Tomorrow we expect to- pass
the bill moving the capitol, under Sus-
pension of the rules, into the midway
district.
E. V. Smalley, in the absence of
Thomas Cochran Jr., replied to the
toast Of Minnesota. He said he could
never understand why real estate men
wanted others to do the talking. He
said he got out boom matter twice a
year-price 25 eents-but asked, "What
can we do to promote the welfare Of the
state?" The: city has gone a little ahead
of the state, and it is necessary to go
ahead and build up the states of Mime
sofa and the two DakOtas. The state
must be built up, as it is impossible to
build any more railroads. ave were
foolish enough to abolish our immi-
grafton bureau, and we must establish
something of the same sort to let this
world know we have room for 1000. 900
more people. Real estate men should
get acquainted throughout the state, the
people of which love st. Paul. You
can not always put real estate up, and
l see nothing diseouraging In the out
look. Go and try to buy a good lot at
the same price as it was offered at the
helg hit of the boom; you can not do it.
The outside districts are sparsely set
tied, they will fill up and
are tributary to st. Paul, which
will then take leap ahead.
The time will never come when Duluth
will beat st. Paul, as the latter could
easily compete against her.

tinued in very humorous vein, telling
how he entered business life. and de-

by a very humorous speech.
D. R. Noyes spoke to the toast of
Unity of Purpose" Several speakers

what you ought to be-" He referred to
the bundle of sticks fable as an illustra-
ton of unity of purpose. During the
dull times following boom, criticisms
are often made of real estate men. The
real estate men are the real
men, and to- them ST. Paul
owes more than to any other
class of citizens. Unity of purpose is
necessary to building up city. and
real estate men are not selfish, but are
always putting great opportunities be-
fore people. 1--WE should all be million
aires when we are away and advertise
our city" He told number of funny
anecdotes, Illustrating the subject. in
connection with other cities. The re-
cent growth of the city dated from the
foundation of the business union,
which worked for one end, the advance
ment of st. Paul. No class of citizens
gave so freely to-the carnIvaIs as the
real estate men. 1--WE need" continued
Mr.. Noyes, unity of purpose in the
recognition of public spirit in which we
have failed in the past. Wen must take
more intereat in public affairs. The
time has not ceased when st. Paul needs
the assistance of every citizen in her
development"
