DISCOURGERS,

Brainerd has its share of GROWERS,
and the Journal of that city gives
them little advice this week. The
discouraging talk poured into the ears
Of H. J. Jaquith, who owns a con-
trolling interest in the Brainerd
water power improvements, furnishes
the grounds for the lecture. The
Journal says:
H. J. Jaquith. the Boston capitalist
who owns the majority interist in the
Brainerd water power, visited Brain
erd last May. He came here for the
purpose of examining the property,
investigating the condition and pros
poets of the city and gaining informa.
ton upon which to base an opinion as
to whether investments here by him.
self, and more particularly by others
who would act On his advice, would
pay. He did not allow the object of
his visit to be known here, believing
that he could learn the actual facts
better without imparting any inform
alton on that point. He had not pur-
sued his investigations two hours be-
fore he had been told by people living
here that the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company was trying to ruin the
town, that the railroad shops would
probably be moved away that real
estate was falling in value and could
Mt be sold at any price, that the city
and county owed more than they
could ever pay, that taxation was
simply fri htful, that nothing could
be raised on the land around here
that the Northern Mill Co., was
damage to the city, and that the devil
was to pay generally. Fortunately
Mr.. Jaquith had too much brains to
be influenced by jackasses. He no.
ticed that instead Of getting out Of
here as soon as possible they were
glad to stay and walk up to the
trough and eat their fodder like any
other animals. If those who don't
like Brainerd would get out of it, it
would be a Godsend to those who are
determined to push forward the city's
interests.

The Mayor ABROAD.

AAA'S a NaS9' ~As-eASAAAA. okOe.
Mr.. EDITOR: #~s.~
This is my 4th day on the Fair
Grounds. Came in this morning at
9 o'clock. Have looked through the
North and South Dakota buildings.
Those states though young are not
outdone by many of the older states.
Grain, minerals, petrifica lions and
stuffed birds constitute the principal
part of their exhibits.
Ispent Sunday travelling about.
Was at Lincoln Park several hours,
it being wonderfully improved since
l was there six years ago. 1t is now
a big managerie and flower garden.
There seemed to be as dense throng
there as at the Fair Grounds. At
the special request of VIM. O'Shea,
OF Little Falls, Icalled on his brother,
DR.. D. O'Shea, at 7O9, w. 2lst street.
found him at his Office and intro
duced myself as the mayor of Little
Falls. He said that he was an init
mate friend of Carter Harrison, ma
yor OF Chicago, and that it would
give him much pleasure to introduce
me to to their mayor. I assented to
his very generous proposition. He
accordingly had the telephone ad-
iusted so as to learn his whereabouts
and was informed that he was at
the Fair Grounds.
He said the next best thing he
could do was to drive me down to
see S. Budsbanowski, whom he
termed the Polander King in Chi
cago. On arriving at his place, 7S5,
s, Paulera street, we found him in.
He runs large grocery store and
saloon combined. found him to be
Il very pleasant gentleman. He in
sisted on our trying some OF his best
Bourbon. l asked him if he knew
Mr.. Grigla. He said he knew him
well and they were special friends,
that he agreed with him in politics,
and was in national politics a strong
Republican. I asked him how the
Polanders stood on politics in the
city, and he said in the vicinity
where he lived, they were strongly
Republican, but taking the whole
city, there would be a Democratic
majority, but owing to the times he
thought there would be a big turn
over the next election.
L. P. Hunt, superintendent of Min
nesota's exhibit, said to me on Sat-
urday that he had good reason for
believing that Minnesota would
carry off many OF the first prizes.
He further said that he would be
pleased to receive specimens of pro-
duce from Morrison county. He
thought that he would send line to
Senator Buchanan, and request him
to send down some specimens of
grain. He said SC far as he had as
certained, this years crop of wheat
showed better than it had or5years
back.
hope our county people will take
advantage of this opportunity and
. send down several specimens of grain
: l saw several specimens of brick
from Minnesota, but none from Lit
tie Falls and none near as good.
Our people should wake up or they
will get left in this show.

n Bonus That Brought a Mill
and Railroad to
the City.
The County Voted 100000
aid and Was More Than
Repaid.

Last year Crow Wingcounty voted
800 900 bonds to aid the Braincrd &
Northern railroad company, and one
OF the combinations was the building
OF a large saw mill at Braincrd by
the Northern Mill company. For
several years before that Brainerd
had stood practically still, or what
change there was was q decrease in
business, population and prosper
lty. Real estate had fallen in
value, and the city was apparently
going backward. AS soon as the
building OF the railroad and mill
were assured conditions improved.
The mill was completed this spring.
and is now running. Hundreds of
men are employed in the mill and on
the logging railroad. The usual ef-
1ects followed the establishment of
such an industry and the city rapidly
recovered it's lost ground. Pub
lie and private improvements of var
ious kinds followed, and Brainerd
has enjoyed the great test progress of
any year since 1882. Among the i'm
provements were several miles of
street railway, several blocks of
paved streets, a new theater build
ing, large hospital. several large
business blocks, extension of water
mains and enlargement of the cleo
trio light plant, four new school
houses, new railroad shops, and
scores OF dwelling houses in all parts
OF the city. Prosperity extended to
all classes, new lines of business
were opened, and it is an evident
fact that Brainerd's prosperity
during the past year has been posi-
tive and substantial. Smaller man.
ufac turing enterprises followed the
great one, and at present there are
more men employed in that city than
ever before.
This was brought about by the ex-
tension OF a logging railroad and the
construction Of saw mill. 1t
doesn't matter what anyone's
theory might be about the effect or
value of such improvements. The
demonstration of their effect is a suf-
ficient record.
Already the cost has been more
than repaid. 1t is shown beyond
question that the investment was
good one, and not man can he
found within the country who re-
grets the giving of the public aid.
This article is not intended to
boom Brainerd, but to record
facts that followed a wise public
pulley adopted by her citizens. 1t is
an example which our citizens should
with view to again maxi
ing some united move to increase our
