that Som1thing should be done, and
urged unity of purpose and action.
The two cities were likened unto the
two pillars of Hercules, which he wanted
to see united by an arch. or by peopling
the Rialto. If people have patriotism and
good sense, they will work together to
build up the Midway district.
ACTING MAYOR HICKMAN.
MIR. Paradis then made few remarks
Introducing Judge Hickman, president
of the st. Paul assembly. and frequent
ly acting mayor. His remarks were as
follows:
esy to our guests prevent me from
making any speech. However, as a
resident of Midway and representa-
tive of the government of st. Paul.
bid yon a welcome. l thank Mayor
Eustus for his good words and appre-
clate the wisdom of his remarks"
The judge then told story of how
minister from Minneapolis was invited
to speak in California church. and
was introduced as being from ST. Paul.
He made the prayer and said: ''Oh,
Lord.I thank Thee that Thou art every
where. and that 1fhpu canst hear me as
though l were in my own church at
Minneapolis"
He stated that the children were
brought up to be patriotic, and that it
had sometimes resulted in sad mistakes.
The Midway was the only one to suffer
10y these mistakes, in the Twin Cities
sending their large factories to remote
regions, instead of convenient points
near each other. He said the rivalry
should not be between the cities, but
with other cities which were encroach-
ing from the north.
He finished his remarks by saving
that the people of both cities would
always be welcome in Midway.
CYRUS NoRTHROP.
President Northrop, of the state uni!
versity, being asked to address the
meeting, responded in an effort that
was weighted with thoughtful sug-
gestions and advice. He began by re-

ucational, city and commercial interests.
1t was happy thought which brought
such an assemblage together. and no.
where else could have they been con-
gregated. 1t was the inspiration, the
attraction and the Importance of the
Midway district which made the oc-
casion such great success, and pro-
duced an event of which the originators
and executors may well be proud.
The union of the two cities of st.
Paul and Minneapolis has been the
theme of conversation and speculation
for the last eight or ten years. Last
evening the first step was taken toward
the coDsummation of this idea when
the members of the press clubs of the
two cities met for the first time for a
conference ou neutral ground-the Mid
way district.
The idea of this conference supper
originated with EG A. Paradis, of the
Midway News, and realizing the benefit
That would accrue from such meeting
he, together with several we'll known
citizens of the Midway district, issued a
cordial invitation to the clubs to gather
at Columbia hall at Union Park and par
take of supper and at the same time
listen to addresses to be made by well
known orators.
In response to this invitation there
we're about 175 gentlemen who braved
last evenings snow storm and met at
Columbia hall at o'clock. where an
informal reception was held in the
parlors. After an hour spent in conver-
Iation and mutual congratulations the
party repaired to the dining room,
where an elegant supper was served.
The large dining room of the hall was
admirably fitted for such meeting A
long table at the end of the room was

and st, Paul. through their respective
commercial clubs and kindred agencies
should cordially unite on neutral
grounds to foster encourage and pro-
tect those mutual interests which are
In common. and which will tend to de-
velop and encourage all those indus
tries that will perpetuate the supremacy
OF the two cities as the commercial,
industrial, numerical and monetary
centers of this great Northwest.
10 the press Of the Twin Cities we
owe much for what we are. They give
wings to our thoughts. ideas and
achievements that have turned the ewes
of the world on these two cities and the
vast country tributary thereto. The
press is a torch, which, welded high
and lofty, has spread its light anc in
huence, not only in the thick centers of
population, but in the lonely regions
and sparsely settled districts of the
world. In your hands, members of the
press, and under your control, the press

j. T. WYMAN.
j. L. Wyman, of the Minneapolis
board of trade. spoke briefly in hu-
morOus vein on the characteristics of
the two cities. He thought the great
mistake was made IN taking the Mid

DENVER, Col, March q. Gen"
Hamilton, the Denver lieutenant of
Coxey's army, gathered fifty men in

lating story illustrative of the loving
feelings with which the Midway d 8
trict regards the two cities.
He then spoke of the foolshness of
not learning by experience and striving
to unite the cities. Their common in
terest should unite them, and in time
stand SO high as to become the
admiration of the continent. The
conditions of the country in
financial and business way
were alluded to as likely to be more ex.
tended than any similar period in the
history of the country, and the speaker
regarded it important to get down 10
business basis and work together as
Twin Cities to further mutual inter-
ests. DR.. Northrop eXhorted the news
papers to always bear in mind that the
people get their ideas from the press.
and. therefore. to be serious and put all
the manhood they have into the papers,
and be honest and honorable.
CAPT. CASTLE.
Capt. ii. A. Castle was next intro
duced. He said he was afraid it was
too late to make speech such as was
suitable. He stated that, as president
of the chamber Of commerce, he heart
lily Endorsed the proposition to bring the
two cities into closer relations to each
other. He said the st. Paul chamber of
commerce was prepared to send con-
mittee to meet one from Minneapolis at
any time to assist in building up Mid
way.
He said he hoped some day to see the
Midway the center of the greatest city
in the Northwest.

Mr.. Calderwood. president of the
