The Consolidated Land Co. in Council.

holders to be held at The Euclid, in
this city on Thursday, the 18th inst.
1t has now been about six months since
the last meeting when the temporary
organization was effected, which time
has been spent by the company with a
large clerical force, perfecting titles,
laying plans, etc, preparatory to the
final and permanent organization,
when, We have been informed and led
to believe, grand forward movement
would be made.
/ The time has arrived and the day
has passed for this work to be done,
but some of the leading spirits of the
organization have sent word that they
could not get here until to-day, Frl-
day, SO that the meeting for Or
ganization and the election of perma-
nent officers will not take place before
this evening or tomorrow.
At this writing Messrs James
Stinson, of Chicago, Arson Maltby, of
New York, Victor Gulliou and James
z. Scott, of Philadelphia. w. G. Rob
inson, of st. Paul, II. Robbins, of New
York, {. NJ. Matthews of Washington,
and II. S. Walbridge, of Toledo, Ohio,
are in the city, and others are expect
ed on the next incoming train.
This company, like all such organi-
cations, has kept its own council very
closely, but still enough has been given
out to induce many men to invest
thousands of dollars in Superior prop
| erty with the legitimate understanding
that the company proposed to carry
out all it had led the people to suppose
1T intended doing. Many of the inves-
tors have become doubling Thomases
and on account of the apparently slow
| movements of the company have come
to halt and cannot be induced to
make any move toward building or
opening up any business, being fear
full that the company did not mean to
act in good faith. 1t cannot be denied
that the loss of the two. large lumber
ing enterprises which wanted to locate
here, but which have been turned
! away, and the opening up of the rival
townsite of South Superior. in which
members of the land company are in
terested, and the locating of the large
wagon manufacturing plant there, are
good and valid reasons for the estab-
lishment of the deep distrust which
has taken possession of those who
have staked their little all on old Su-
perior.
The work Of this meeting is looked
for with much anxiety, therefore, by
Ill our people. There is much respon-
sibility resting on the gentlemen now
assembled here to shape the destiny of
their organization. The people have a
right TO know what the policy of the
company is to be. If city is to be
built up here it must be begun at once.
A dilly daily policy will not satisfy the
men who have put their money in here
on the representations which have been
made. The TINES has confidence in
the men who constitute this company,
and it believes they mean to do all and
more than they have intimated as yet
We believe the permanent organiZa-
ton will be perfected all right, AMI
that a good list of officers will be chos-
en-, and that active operations VIII soon

obnoxious word old Superior, and

In the Kentucky Advocate, pub
lished at Danville Kentucky, dated
Jan. 10th 1890, We find the following
item regar ding our city:
Superior Wisconsin in, has one of the
brightest futures of any city in the
United States; has population of H.
GOO, which has sprung up within the
last two years. Last spring the Con
solidated Land Company was organ
lied with a capital of IS, 60O, 900, repre-
scented by capitalists from nearly every
state in the Union. In the last few
weeks the Fible Wagon Mandatory
from Racine has purchased large
plat of land and set apart sixty acres
for the mandatory; has capital of
81 ,000,000 Superior has the largest
wheat repositories in the world. and as
timber inexhaustible; is situated at
the head of the lake and navigation.
1t will only be a short time until the
largest ocean steamers will have
regular line to make the commercial
exchanges from their ineXhaustible
supply. 1t is confidently believed this
grand city will in less than twenty
wears be the rival of Chicago. Many
people in this and Mercer counties are
interested in the success of Superior
city.
