Educational Facilities.
The Midway District as a seat of
learning has become renowned. Six
| splendid collegiate institutions are es-
| tablished at an outlay of some $565,0O0.
| About 700 students are In attendance,
! and the courses of instruction are of a
high order. They are the Hamline Uni
versity, Manchester College, st. Joseph
Seminary, ST. Thomas Seminary, Stry-
| ker Seminary and Minnesota State EX-
! perlmental College.
Eight excellent public schools, with
an attendance of about 900 scholars, af-
ford free instruction. The cost of these
foots up sl76.soo. BY name they are
known as the Longfellow, Hancock,
Baker, Murray, Ramsey, Quincy, Mat
tOckS, Tilden.
Churches.
There are nine churches with resi-
dent pastors, beside church organize
tions of various other denominations.
They are the Merriam Park Presby-
terrain, st. Mary's Episcopal. Trinity
Methodist, st. Anthony Chapel Congre-
gational. Olivet Congregational, st.
Matthew's Episcopal. st. Marks Catho-
lie, Macale ster Presbyterian.
Street and Public Improvements.
1889 witnessed great changes, and
| placed the Midway section a long way
| ahead in street and general improve
ments. Some twenty-three miles of
streets were graded at a cost of S144,-

ing S12, 123.67. Over five miles of sewers
constructed. costing s1G7,3s1.13. The

The Minnesota Transfer.
Eight great railway corporations are
stockholders in and form this company.
The tracks, buildings and stockyards
stretch over a large tract, and the place
is one of great activity. A day and
night crew are employed, and the
labors never cease.
The Railways forming the Transfer
Company are the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.

Omaha,

u: Few realize the greatness of this busy
place, and some, doubtless, are naware
of it's existence. Most of the freight of
all roads entering the Twin Cities is
handled, shipped and billed from this
common starting and distributing point.
Some 300 men are employed. The fol-
lowing figures show the growth of bust
ness from year to year:

1921. These improvements, with the
University avenue viaduct, Marshall
avenue bridge land 'S8 water malns)
footed up the great total of S731,792,65.
Public works will progress rapidly
from this date On.
Building Operations
are very active, and each succeeding
years figures will largely exceed their
predecessors. Dnring 1889 over 400
permits were issued, and a million dolo
lars, lacking a few thousand, went into
buildings. The number and cost OF
structures increases rapidly, and the
character improves. IL
The many improvements, public M
otherwise. in contemplation would I'LL
pages. We can make mention Of but a
few.
At Prospect Park a number of resi-
dences are planned for this season. II
the owners of the tract are preparing to
grade a number of highways. r
Building at st. Anthony and North
st. Anthony Park continues active. In
the manufacturing district near the
tracks new developments are looked for
soon. Eastern parties surveyed the
ground Wednesday last, with a view OF
locating a large plant. employing a con-.
siderable force of skilled labor. ]
Toward the State Fair grounds and
Northern Pacific shops neat residences
are becoming numerous. An imposing
and commodiOus structure Is to be
erected at Merriam Park next year,
combining stores, hotel and theater.
Those in position to speak knowingly
say the Meeker Island improvement
scheme has not been abandoned, and
that the near future will see it a reality.
The Town and Country Club.
A beautiful tract Of land has recently
been secured by this organization at the
end of Marshall avenue. 1t presents a
varied landscape of woods, dale and
river bank. and is being handsomely
improved, the outlay being about $780,
900. The finest club house in the West
is promised, surrounded by wide YER
andas. having water and all conven-
fences. The assembly, dining and ban
quoting apartments large and ele-
gantly equipped. The parlors, ladies'
reception room, and g~entlemen's card
rooms will all be of the finest finish and
furnishings. The improvements are all
to be completed by fall, the necessary
funds being raised in full. The present
limit OF membership is 100 gentlemen
and a like number of ladies. The ranks
being nearly full, the limit will soon be
increased, as nan Minneapolis people
will become members. The point is

and will be built between the infant
sister cities"
What a change. To-day nearly a
third of the railway system of the
United States centers in the s'infant
sister citieS' of but a few years ago.
In the Midway district, threaded by
the iron ways of a dozen great railway
corporations, stands the great Mime
sofa Transfur, where more freight is
handled than any n place west of
Chicago, and being exceeded in volume
by but n or possibly two points in the
world. And yet, not long since, they
were writing books and saying in them
that ''some day a railn0ad will connect
st. Anthony with ST. Paul"
While the old world has been sleep
ing. the Eastern section of our own
country plodding slowly, we have built
a mighty city in a few short years, and
ere the dawn of the twentieth century
it will be London, Paris, New York,
Chicago, and next the Twin Cities.
And the center of all this greatness is
the Midway District. When the writer
first saw fair Minnesota in the early
SOS, there were a few scattering houses
between the two cities. Land was held

The Main Business Street.

1t is thought University avenue will
be the main business thoroughfare, the
long continuous street, the connecting
link. There should, at an early date,
be as straight a street as possible de-
termined upon for this connecting
link" and then 1t should have atten-
with broad sidewalks, lighted every
night by electricity, and thoroughly
sprinkled. Grades should be reduced.
and hollOws filled. 1t is none too early
to take action in this matter, and the
proper authorities should move at once.
The Boulevard Drive.
Nature makes it possible that the most
splendid Boulevard Of the age can be
developed by the Park system of the
two municipalities. Where is it to be?
To come down the west bank of the
river in Minneapolis and join Summit
avenue would seem roundabout. And
vet pleasure drivers do not -begrudge a
little additional distance it the way be
attractive. Though this topic has been
often discussed, no active steps have yet
been taken. 1t is time. And when the
route is decided upon a thoroughfaye of
considerable width should be laid out.
Property owners would contribute lib
orally now. 1t should not be deferred
until lands are high and improved. Let
those who have accomplished so much
in a business way turn a little time and
thought to this most important subject,
and by prompt, aggressive measures
speedily accomplish results.
Miles of this great Parkway will pass
through favored Midway, still further
identifying it, and bringing the homes
of wealth and intelligence within its
bounds.
The State Capitol.
That the state capitol will be located
midway between the two cities there is
no O for doubt. 1t should be so. and
many available sites exist. That it will
be a stately pile of architectural grand
eur, costing S5,0 0O. 900 Or more, and
surrounded by not less than twenty
acres of ground, is reasonable to expect.
A duly appointed commission should
soon be at this work. Our present So
called capitol building would answer
fairly well for a jail or police head
quarters.
The Boston System.
While this interurban city is new, it
would be we'll to look into the system
adopted by Boston, of running all water.

The advantages are plain, and need no
