Patomac affords. with the features of
all of them combined, il might be said,
barring the palace residences Of patent
medicine nabObs or railroad wreckerS.
When night comes again you are well
out on Lake Huron; the next
| morning, Sunday, you sight Port
| Huron, and then comes the
most animated scene on the trlp-the
| ride past the club houses on the st.
Clair fats. The coming of the North
/ West has been watched for. and the
people are on the docks to cheer her,
SaluteS are fired, and the marine ex-
| change of courteSieS are numerous. The
| beautiful Detroit river and an hours
| stop affords still new diversion. De-
| troiI is the great home excursion city of
| the country, and the broad river seems
alive with excursion craft. Another
! beautiful river ride and you are out ia
| Lake Erie, aud get to Cleveland in the
evening. The next morning you are in
| Buffalo. You see, you have been asleep
most of the time the boat has been far
out upon the lakes, so that the
only part of the journey that might be

you have either been just coming out or
going into the big lakes, and your days
| have been passed viewing an ever

| There will be days visit to Niagara

! just sufficient change and rest, for you
sometimes need rest when you are rest

back to Duluth quite as much as you

Let me tell you that Niagara Falls has
changed. Not the falls themselves, but
the conditions that once allowed the

I most dwarf the grandeur of the greatest
cataract in the world. l don't think

thing worth looking at where there is so
much given for the money. Now an

/ the shore on the Canadian side, and you

cents than you could years ago in q day

people as almost the parks of any city.
As to Buffalo. you will find it great
city, of wonderful beauty, metropolitan
enough, and still not SO much SO that
hospitality will be forgotten. In fact,
the pride in their city manifested by
| newspaper men and citizens generally
| struck me as being almost up TO the
| way we WeSterners love the towns and
cities we have seen grow up. ! didn't
expect to find this. but it's true, and
will be very much surprised If you do
not come back singing the praises of
! Buffalo and its newspaper men with a

thar with which you lauded the hos

In conclusion, let me impress upon
every editor in Minnesota that this trip
will be really an event of Importance in
the life time OF any one who takes it.
and that it will be misfortune to miss

! ton, don't hesitate to notify G. p. Slime,
| st. Paul, at once of your intention of
going. Remember Wednesday is the
! limit for the applications.
