CONSERVATIVE AND TRUE.
A Minnesota Editor Gives Some Inter
esting Facts About Great
Falls.
He Visited Here Awhile Ago, and
Gives Some Results of His
Observations.

Elmer Adams, editor of the Fergus
Falls Journal was here in April and
stayed long enough to imbibe some cor
rect notions about this city. He is a
clear and accurate observer, and in his
weekly issue of May % has a long ac-
count Of what he saw here. In a previ-
Gus article Mr.. Adams fell into an un-
fortunate error respecting the agricult-
ural possibilities of this region. He
thought them meagre and uncertain,
whereas there is no region on the globe
more favorable to the production of
cereals and all kinds of vegetables.
A portion Of this article on Great
Falls is as follows:
William SHAKESPEARE said of men:
"Some men are born great, some achieve
greatness, Others have greatness thrust
upon them" This with equal truth ap-
plies to cities. Some cities are great
from the very nature of things. while
others without natural advantages,
without what seems to be the essential
to greatness, through the indomitable
energy and push of their citizens. ac-
complish more thar cities more highly
favored by nature. Great Falls was not
only created great, but Its citizens are
achieving greatness for 1t. They are
not content to rely upon what provl-
dence has done for 1t, but are working
industriously ana ~assiduously as though
everything depended upon their efforts.
Great Fails has certainly had a great
growth, IN SIX years 1T has grown from
nothing to a very substantial city OF To-
600. Little II anything has been lone
which IS not fully Justified. 1T is doubt
full whether a city has ever been built

; destiny so fully and completely worked
