h4d all these obstacles 20 contend with,
there would be no Grand Rapids. unless
we elected n different class of men 10
Office. who would be equal 70 the en,er-
gency. IL is Il wonder 10 some people
that there is a Grand Rapids At all,
even under IT'S most favorable condi-
tiOns. For easy, even, graceful grades
of streets and sidewalks, the citizens OF
Duluth have no fear OF the irOn-oound
rocks, no matter how high, they are
cut through 10 make easy grades and
graceful curves, both for streets and
walks. There IS nothing left abrupt,
nor unsightly. They wind through the
rocks and around the bluffs in most
acceptable and pleasing manner. The
engineering ability IS 10 be admired. It
: artistic as we'll as scientific. The
cross streets run up the bluff, and they
present an even, uniform grade from
one avenue To the other: then star;
again with another grade Tor the next
avenue, and 80 continue 10 the high
est pinnacle.
Moved BY the spirit of curiosity,
though hot rs IT was, We walked about
the city, IN among the rocks ana c.ifs.
Having satisfied our desires as i pedes-
trlan, we took the street car line
through SuperiOr-st. for distance Of
seven or eight miles. We were told
that this street extended some eighteen
miles into and through West Duluth.
After tea we tried a two-wheeled car
rage about the rocky city, aad We
drove TO the highest point attainabie.
1t was a beautiful sunset scene. We
became more fully convinced that the
sand hills of Grand Rapids might be
worked up into beautiful artistic seem
cry and parks, and that the straIghten-
ing of the "River Dock Line" might be
made one OF the most desirable and
health-prOmoting heneticlaries 10 the
Valley City and Its inhabitants, at a
very small cost, compared with i'm
provements made in ali other cities of
any pretenslons whatever. But to ac-
compllsh these much desired changes
in city so beautifully located ny
nature. which needs only 4 Skillful
helping hand and willing mind,
the improvements must be placed
into the hands OF unbias-
ed, practical men, men of
| enterprise, men who take a lust pride
in their own city and business affairs,
not from a mere personal or selfish
standpoint. but from pons which
will bring the oest results, 90 the most
good to the greatest number Of people,
| and, if made, would in very few
years double, triple and quadruple the
/ value of every foot of their desirable
| property.
| scarcely know what more to say,
| except to repeat that Duluth and Supe-
| riOr present in their present situations
the most gratifying and startling I'M
provements IN our travels, and are
/ proofs of the wisdom and far-seeing
! qualities of enterprising business men
yes, even tar-seeing fishermen who
! stayed in and by the towns in every ad-
versity, to fell or rise with the hamlet
| OF the rocks.
Prophecy stands appalled, in the at
tempt 10 nx the future OF Duluth and
| the SuperiOrs. We do not believe, with
some individuals, that they will make
! the grass grow IN Chicago's streets, bat
/ they do even now, and Will N the fu-
ture, exert a great influence on the
I windy prairie city. When the census
| Of 1870 Il taken, 1t will be strange, in
| deed, If these cities do not show Il COM
/ bined population of 100000 people.
''St. Pat" and pat City," formerly 81.
Paul and Minneapolis, or tue Twin
| Cities" and to be known hereafter as
''St Pat City," have shown q greater
gam than this in the ten years past.
! The Lake Cities have only Just begun
70 move. Whatever their future, they
certainly stand today pre-ersinent in
progress, IN acquired position and IN
/ promise, considering the handful OF a
few years ago and the struggle they
have had getting there.
We have seen more here than IN Al
active business experience during the
last quarter OF n century, filed with
continual hard work.
MAY We profit hy It and return TO our
/ city with renewed energy. The "Oma-
ia" has fine freight and passenger
traffic TO and from these cities. As does
