NOT TOO LATE YET.
To Save the Twin-City Colum-
bian Project.
MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE.

Some Measures Should Surely be Adopted
to Preserve the Great Enterprise for the
Purposes for Which 1t Was Originally
Intended-Some New Course of Proceed
ure Necessary.
The fate of the Twin City Columbian
project will probably be determined at
topighl's meeting of the original COM
mittee, at least some decided steps will
be taken, in all likelihood looking to the
fnal disposition of the undertaking.
Something Must be Done.
The undertaking has progressed to that
point where something must be done.
The land has been purchased and num-
Der OF public spirited men stand good for
the payne as they become
due. The situation that now faces
the committee involves the future o. the
Columbian matter The project has drag
geo along simply because or the failure
of those who should have interested
themselves with it to lend it the proper
assistance, and it is TO the shame of
such people that it has reached such a
crisis as that which now confron.s il.
OF truth it must be said that if the Co.
llmbisn enterprise fails. such failure
will be partially chsrgeable to the clsss of
business men who would have received the
greatest benefits from the successful csr-
TyiDg out of the plan-the hotels and
restaurants.
The Committees Work.
The committee therefore, upon whose
shoulders the responsibility of the mes-
sure rests, must take steps looking to the
calling together of the endUrssrs OF the
note who have because of their generosity,
10 financial sense identified THEMSELVES
with tie project and in whose hands seems
to be its salvation.
