Minnesota Is the third, ard will soon
be first, among the sisrerhood of states
in iron production. This is the Iron
Age Our sister city leads the world
in wheat, flour and lumber. We are
proud to do her honor. From 80 to 30
our increase in population was wonder

During that eventful period there was
built up in Minnesota's capital city
one of The greatest and proudest munic-
qualities in America. AS in the Olden
days all roads led to Rome, now in the
Western lands all roads lead and pay
tribute to st. Paul. Our banks, whole
SalerS, manufacturers and Industrial
classes are among the most prosperous
of the nation. Bright minds and great
men are constantly being given to the
national and foreign service by our city
and state. All Minnesota's securities
are gilt-edged. Our educational institu-
tIons are of the highest order. Wise and
equitable state and municipal govern

equal chance with his neighbor. God

st. Paul has much to be proud of,
much to be thankful for. The younger

making itself felt with good results.
Purse strings are loosening, the old -fogy
element is being relegated to a deserved
place of retirement. Our landscape
and architecture are rapidly changing.
Manufactures are fast being added. Our
railway and postal facilities are devel-

Vast mercantile houses, towering office

The completion of the Great Northern
railroad to the Pacific coast is an event
that St. Paul can we'll celebrate, not
only because it marks an era in her his
tory, but also because it is an enterprise
that st. Paul inaugurated and in a great
measure controls. st. Paul is its main
terminus. and st. Paul man president
of this great company.
Two transcontinental lines practi-
cally terminate here, fact which alone
gives st. Paul pre-eminence among the
cities of the Northwest. st. PauPS re-
markable rail and river ard lake facill-
ties are conceded by all, but their real
Importance is understood by few even
of our most Intelligent citizens. Where
is there another city in the Northwest
which at all compares with ST. Paul in
this respect? There is none! Chicago
itself can hardly be said to surpass our
city when our river facilities, as we'll as
those OF lake and rail, are duly con-
sidered.
There are few, if any. cities in the
East which outrank st. Paul in natural
and acquired advantages as a great dis
tributing point; none west of us which
equal it.
OF the great lines of commerce CEN
tering here there are none we feel more
proud of, or interested in, than the
Great Northern. 1t opens up to st.
Paul enterprise the vast and wonder
fully fertile piano, the rich mines and
the wide range of stock-graZing coun-
tries of the far Northwest, and no such
fields for commercial enterprise were
ever opened to st. Paul which were not
at once entered upon and won for our
great and growing city.
st. Paul is the truest type of real
Western enterprise, guided and guarded
by the conservatism of the East; hence
her solid gains, and her substantial
character and reputation. At times
her growth has been equaled, even sur
passed by other cities; but where is
there another Western city which COM
pares with her in the magnitude of her
jObbing interests, or now in her
general manufacturing industry? Ii

Indomitable courage and lesistless
energy are features in the makeup of
James j. Hill. The merchants of st.
Paul, in reviewing the effects of his
great work, the building and compile
ton of the Great Northern railway to
the Pacific coast, always refer to the
valiant progreSsivenesS OF MIR. Hill.
These merchants do not cOnfine their
appreciation to his work which mas
added another transcOntinental cOnnec-
ton between st. Paul and the Pacific
coast, but they evidently appreciate
quite as highly those branch lines of The
Great Northern system that give modern
facilities to the park regions of Minnesota
and Dakota, that benefit the Red
river valley, and, more than all, to those
extensions into the Southwest and
North to connect with the Northern
Steamship company. These last-men-
toned results of Mr.. HIPS sagacity
have placed ST. Paul in position so as
to successfully resist the previously
sharp competition of Eastern cities.
They may seem subsidiary to the main
line, but they are highly important to
producers and consumers who live in
Minnesota and the Northwest.
Various questions have been submit
ted to leading merchants of st. Paul.
The answers, subJoined, are their off
hand replies. the questions asked having
been dissimilar. They all acknowledge
the very valuable effects realized
by st. Paul through the COM
pletion of the Great Northern
system to its present condition
of excellence. and they evidently look
for results in the future that will tram
scend all of the previous effects in rail-
reading which have enabled them to
exercise their skill in trade. They do
not overlook the value OF transportation
by water, but they realize that railroad
progress is bound to continue under the
leadership of such men as James j. Hill.

A wonderful feat has been performed
by James j. Hill in building and COM
pIeting the Great Northern railway line
westward to the Pacific coast. AS the
work OF one individual, siugle-handed.
it stands unequaled in the an
nails of railway construction. st
Paul has greater reason to besproud
of Mr.. Hill than he has to be proud Of
st. Paul, for it has been as loyal and
steadfast citizen of this city that he has
carried on his great railway operations,
and he is still moving forward with re-
markable enterprise and unparalleled
success.
The Great Northern railway not only
reaches to the Pacific, but there it con-
meets with the ocean fleets of the West,
and north of us the same railway inter
changes, through the transportation Of
the great lakes, much OF the commerce
to and from the Atlantic Seaboard.
The business men of the entire North
west most easily see the great advant-
ages and marvellous development that
have come with the construction OF this
magnificent line. 1t was built without
extravaganza; its business has warrant
ed the expectations of its projectors. and
the grand achievements that accom-
panied its completion are recognized
everywhere as due to the genius OF a
permanent citizen of st. Paul.

city have really no competitor for points

and st. Louis had advantages over us.
but these advantages have been swept

where the merchants of the Northwest
can buy and gain all the benefits that
now favor the business interests of ST.

most promising showing of any city in
the Northwest, and among its foremost
claims of pre-eminence and promise
would be the fact that it is the head
quarters of the Great Northern Railroad
company and system, and the railr DAD
center of the Northwest.
When the Northern Pacific railroad
was completed, st. Paul ''rose to the
OCCASION" and made such display of
its industries and general business as:
surprised every one, land no one so much
as It's "oldest citizen" The exhibition
at that time was SO unexpectedly large
that it nearly broke down through its

ateur ranks the unworthy "pugs" who
sold or pawned their prizes as soon as
won, or accepted money outright. The
greatest difficulty, however, was expert
enced in securing the proof required to
convict Of professionalism. When placed
on trial the boxers with many oaths at
tested their innocence, and, as the ANA
teur Athletic Union had no power to sub
poena unwilling witnesses, the examine
tons became mere farces.
Finally the union determined to put the
burden of proof on the shoulders of
the suspected boxers. Last April every
man who had competed at a tournament
for several months previous was suspended
from the amateur ranks. More than 800
thus came under the ban. They were in
formed that the union would be only too
happy to reinstate them as soon as they
would pro We their amateur standing. The
proof demanded was an exhibit of all the
medals won in competition. The union
might as well have asked for an exhibit Of
ali the money they had ever earned or
seen. With very few exceptions the
whole crowd was forced into the profess
sional class, where it really belonged.
1t was undoubtedly the presence of this
undesirable element in the am ateur ranks
that brought boxing in public into dis
repute among genuine amateurs. As q
matter of fact there is no more reason
why two gentlemen should not meet in q
scientific sparring contest than in the rush
line of the football field. However, real
amateur sparring is practiced, nowadays,
almost altogether in the seclusion of the
clubs boxing room. The bouts are in
variably goOd-natured. But how some of
these amateurs punch!
In the New York Athletic Club, for in
