1t is our opinion that this proposition
should meet with the. unqualified ap-

The following resolutions will be
presented at the next meeting of
the Trades Assembly:
We, the undersigned committee ap-
pointed by the chamber Of commerce,
board of trade, Comm ercial club, Ira des
and Labor assembly and jobbers' union,
met as requested in joint conference with
the directors of the Duluth & South
western Railway company, who ex.
planned and outlined their project in all
it's details and as to their future course,
provided St. Louis county gave them
sufficient et1cOuragemen in the matter of
aid to still further prosecute the con-
summation of it. We have carefully
considered the question: in all its phases,
as 20 whether the time is opportune for
the county TO- take up a question Of this
kind, and whether the project is meri-
torious one from a commercial and rail-
road standpoint, and whether it's con-
struction and completion would increase
the wealth and population of our city
and county and give sufficient additional
employment to labor, together with other
ing the aid requested, under the existing
circumstances. We believe that it can
afford to do so, for reasons, several OF
which are set forth below:
MUST HAVE TERRITORY.

conducted at fixed charge and expense

MANUFACTURES here. If we expect to be-
come a manufa act uring center of iron and
steel and their products, we must have
a larger territory tributary to us for their
sale and use, as the country west of us
is now our only market, and if it were
sufficiently large, it has uncertainties that

many millions of feet, principally white
oak. This tract of timber Is at present
inaccessible, but being within seventy
miles of Duluth, would, with line of
railroad from here, be Of great value to
this city for use in manufactures or vam-
Gus kinds, while the refuse could be us;d
in the making of charcoal, which will De
required in large quantities In the iron
and steel business This fuel cannot be
gotten at present owing TO the small
quantity of hardwood near the city. AT
Red Wing the road would reach the east

we'll populated district In this state one
hundred and sxty-five miles from Du>
luth, being a route tWenty-seVen mlEes
shorter than by way of St. Paul, and
correspondingly shorter to Duluth by it.,
and making direct connections with in
dependent lines of railroads to all the i'm
portant cities of the southwest. Existing
lines of railroad that connect Duluth
with that district are SO incumbered by
| their connections with lines Of road con-
trolled by Twin City or Chicago inf1u-
ences that Duluth and st. Louis county
are practically barred out of that terri.
tory, (which from our geographical posi-
ton we should naturally supply with all
their requirements in the way Of East
ern manufactured goods, COAL lime, salt,
lumber, etc.
BETTER FOOD SUPPLIES.
On the other hand it is estimated that
at least so per cent Of the food supplies
of St. Louis county are obtained from
that section of the, state, and only very
small part Of this Is shipped direct to our
city, but is handled by Twin City com.
mission men, and we have not only to
pay additional charges ON their account,
and two local rates of freight, but we
| must necessarily receive our supplies in
poorer condition than would be tine case
| If they could be shipped direct.
Such a road would make our city corn
market, and would bring in soft wheat
to blend with the hard, which our mill
lers are very much in need of.
| We are satisfied that the selection Of
the proposed route of the Duluth & South
western railway, and the scheme for it's
promotion are good ones, free from the
| acknowledgements Of other cities and rail-
road systems, and that it will be made a
Duluth road. The application for aid as
suggested for our approval would fully
protect the interests of the county. The
amount asked for will be $250,0 in bonds
| payable i'm thirty years, or at the option
of the county, in lesser time after the
year 1911, in lawful money of the United
States. The bonds would bsar interest
at per cent. and are not to be delivered
to the railroad company, nor is any in
terest to accrue on said bonds, until the
road Is completed from the southern

MADRID, Aug. There was a long de-
bate over the budget in the chamber Of
deputies today which has a special interest,
in view Of the riots this week in the prov
ince of Valencia over the imposition Of fresh
taxes and the dissatisfaction over the war in
Cuba. Senior Maret criticized the dangerous
government projects. He believed it would
be better, he said, to convert the debts by
means Of credit operation. The premier,
Senior Canovas del Castillo, replied as fol-
lows:
s'The government only desires to meet the
necessities of the Cuban war, which, having
spread over the whole island, prevents Cuba
from contributing for it's cost. Therefore
an extraordinary budget is necessary. The
government has already been authorized to
borrow 500 COO, 900 pesetas ($100 900, 000), but
to apply to the Bank of Spain for such a
loan would make the fduciary circulation
enormous. I cannot content myself with
the proposals of the Liberal minority
Senior Silvela, the leader of the dissident
Conservatives, questioned the government as
to the duration of the war in Cuba. Senior
Canovas replied to this question that the
rebels would never vanquish the Spanish
army. Unless this happened he refused to
believe that the Spanish people would become
tired of the war. In that case, he renowned
public life forever. This assertion was
greeted with cheers.
