The rumors that have been in the pub
lie press for the past few months regard
ing the absorption, of the st. Paul 6
Duluth railroad BY other lines seem to
have vanished entirely. The citizens of
st. Paul would very much regret to see
this popular line merged into some other
large system, and the general off1ces
moved to some other city. The st. Paul
e. Duluth railroad was the first railroad
built between the Twin Cities and the
head Of the lakes, and is a thoroughly
equipped, first-class. up-to-date property.
It is not only the best line between the
Twin Cities and the head of the lakes
but it reaches into a territory directly
tributary to st. Paul, and upon Its lines
are located some of the most popular
fishing and hunting resorts In the North
west. White Bear lake, st. Paups most
popular summer resort, is located upon
this line, and commencing the 1st of
June twenty-eight passenger trains day
will connect White Bear lake with st.
Paul. These trains are run over double
track some Of them making the run in
twenty-five minutes. Bald Eagle lake,
Forest lake, Chisago lakes, Rush lake
and Pokegama lake are also located upon
this line, and afford sport, rest and health
to the citizens OF the Twin Cities. AT
Russell Beach, ON Chisago lake, Is locat-
ed the modern picnic ground OF the
Northwest, thoroughly equipped with
dancing pavilion, .Fefreshnenta STANDS,
ETC., large feet Of row and sail boats
and all the modern appliances or nrsl-
class picnic resort nisat-f
Several large picnics have already been
contracted for during the coming season.
At Taylors Falls is located the Interstate
park, under the charge of Commissioner
| George H. Hazard. This Is q most de-
| lightful spot for a picnic or outing. The
| legislatures of the states Of Wisconsin
and Minnesota have recognized this as
the most picturesque and beautiful spot In
| the Northwest and have made liberal ap-
| preparations for the purchase of land and
| for identifying the surroundings. EHec-
| tive work will be accomplished in park
| culture during the current year. FROM
| Tavlors Falls to Saltwater via the st.
| Croix river, and through the Dalles OF
| the ST. Croix is a very popular excursion
| trip. The steamers VERNE Mac" and
CITY of Hudson belonging to the Inter
| state Park Navigation company, of which

Paul & Duluth railroad daily, except
Mondays and Tuesdays, after June A.
| and will make the run Gthirty-two miles),
| Taylors Falls to saltwater, and connect
at Saltwater with fast trains for the
| Twin Cities, also via the st. Paul &
/, Duluth railroad. Numerous excursions
are planned for the coming season be-
| tween ST. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth
and Superior, so that the citizens of the
Twin Cities .oay visit big, blue, cool, Lake
Superior frequently during the hot sum.
