Twin City Problems
E. V. Smalley. of st. Paul, spoke on
From Midland Lakes to Western Sea"
and as all Introductory said that he was
OF the opinion that Thomas Lowry had
been the greatest of all factors in unit
Ing the two cities. He paid a compli-
ment to the street railway system, eSpe-
cially the interurban line. In referring
10 the problems of the future. especially
applicable to the Twin Cities, he
said that the first ana greatest was
TO push the great waterway of the lakes
TO the Atlantic, SO that ships can be
loaded at the inland seas and san on to
the ocean. Congress must be visited
and visited u.til the great point IS
accomplished. Another problem that
might be solved was the continuing and
developing of the country aronnd-the
state. A bureau of Immigration for the
state would prove a valuable adjunct.
The speaker also said that when
another impetus of growth was given
the Two cities an endeavOr should be
made TO avoid duplicating certain
branches OF business. like manufacture
ing. There was no reason why one
city should follow the other. to It's own

Prof. Mcmillan, of the state univer-
sity, in short address gave a valuable
exposition of facts regarding the insti-
tuition. In point of attendance he said
the university was ranked fourth in the
country, the three leading it being
Michigan. Yale and Harvard.
Col. DavidsOn's Effort
Col. j. II. Davidson. of st. Paul, spoke
on deep Waterways" and, prefacing
his remarks, said: Gentlemen of the
Twin City Commercial Club-You see
drop the plural and adopt the singular"
lie showed how the interests OF one
city were those of the other. Pros
perlty to one was prosperity to the
other. Affection and financial de-
preston TO one were the same to
the otner. The two cities were
regarded by the outside world as one,
and so they were. His sentiments were:
What God has Joined together COM
mercially, let 10 man put aSunder. ,
we may say what we please, we may
think what we please, but we cannot
go beyond the fact that the cities at the
falls are one and the same. They can
not be rent apart. God grant that we
may know each other better and he
wiser i'll the future than we have been
in tine past"
Col. David sons speech was the best
OF the evening, and when he concluded
the room was for few moments in an
uproar of applause. Immediately fol-
lowing his effort the Masonic vocal
quartette rendered several selections,
which were well received.
