the Twin Cities to attend the Haml1ne
University commencement exercises.
Frank l.. Taylor, the popular manager
of the Euclid Hotel of this city,. will soon
remove to Duluth, where he goes to take
charge of the Spalding. Mr.. Taylor is
hotel man of great experience, and will
undoubtedly become as popular with all
classes in Duluth as he was in Superior.
The Duluth Superior Bridge Company
will soon begin the construction OF
mamoth bridge connecting the Twin
Cities of the head of the lake. 1t will be
a draw bridge, and so constructed as to
accommodate foot passengers, street rail-
WAYS and steam railroads. We hope the
company will not only begin but finish
the construction of the bridge. 1t is sad
ly needed, as the absence of bridge
makes travelling between the cities some
what awkward and subject to distress
ing delays.
