moulders of public opinion will turn to-
wards ST. Paul, and it is but the duty of
the municipality and the citizens

the advantages which will accrue to
st. Paul are most valuable. In ad

the city. Public buildings will be in
spected, the beautiful avenues and
drives will be visited and a view af-

sources of the city of st. Paul, Of its
wealth and prosperity, and the Opp0r-

press, act as a great factor in the spread
