And never once saw him at ALL

BOARD OF TRADE.

The opening of the Board of Trade
Monday was delayed by the lack
of quorum, which called forth con-
siderable comment on the lack of in
terest displayed by some of the mem
berS.
A proposition was received from the
St. Peter wooden mill to remove to
this city in case a bonus is offered,
equal to the value of the buildings
that it would be necessary to vacate
at St. Peter. The members of the
board were not favorable toward Civ
ing bonus, but President j. A. Will
lard stated that he had promised to
donate site for the mill in case it
should remove. While it is not the
policy of the Board to offer bonuses
for any concern, it is always glad to
welcome any new business, and extend
helping hand in general way.
A communication was received from
the Duluth Chamber of Commerce
asking for an opinion as to the adviSa-
bility of holding convention in the
interest of ship canal to join the
great lakes with the Hudson river.
President Willard stated that there
is nothing so important to all of the
northern part of the country as this
canal would be, yet there is question
whether enthusiasm enough has been
raised over the matter in and out of
the newspapers to warrant the hold
ing of a convention at this time wise.
He thought that it would probably do
more injury than good.
After some discussion, on motion OF
M. G. Willard, it was voted as the
sense of the Board that the canal is
very desirable, but that it would be
premature to hold convention this
winter.
1t was also voted that Congressman
Lind be informed that the Board
favors an appropriation at this session
of congress for preliminary survey
for the canal.
The Board adjourned.
