promote with heart and mind, and
strength, and money and self denial,
and generous m~agnanimity to all COM
ers who will join heart and hand with
them to deepen and widen n founoa-
lions of this social and material TAB
ric and build thereon a permanent n
unchanging prosperity not for them
selves alone, but for all who will enter
into these Herculean labors and zeal
ously contribute to the upbilding OF the
colossal and marvellous superstructlon
of their business, trade and traffic.
A dream! Let Minneapolis speak In
the gentle accents of the falling waters
of sweet Minnehaha! Hear Duluth
hosannahing across the farthermost
end of Superior's rich and coppery
shores! Listen to the Diapason OF the
storm sounding the glories OF Denver
though it usurped great paEt OF It's
free sway; nor forget ~Omaha-only a
fort-across from we ancient city of
Council Bluffs, a few years ago, now
a mighty city. Minneapolis too was
erstwhile a fort and having outstripped
it's antique comrade, st. Paul, now
threatens to absorb it. Denver with
its palace theatre, hotels and streets
rock ribbed, stands a monument to the
daring genius of man. Duluth ridi-
culed within the memory Of man by
the brilliant and felicitous Proctor
Knott as "the zenith city of the UNI
sailed seas" has eclipsed fancy's
sketch and abashed the ridicule of a
master hand.
What has done this? Booms!
Booqns! ! Booms! ! Conception
thought, transmitted into action.
Laying aside all personal preferences
and p~rejudices the manly minds OF
these cities got together, threw ego
tism overheard, throttled ~selfishness,
awakened lethargy, hypnotised OBJ
structionists, %energized the timorous,
and, conceiving, shaped, formed and
made a boom, laid deep and broad
it's foundations and reared thereon
the lasting structure of continuing
prosperi.y-not by n waiting or de-
pending on the other to start, not by
slow timid, h~esitant, awkward, fear
full, gradual steps, constantly looking
back and borrowing troubles, but by
setting out with clear thought, decis-
i've action, unabating energy, unani-
nous impulse and spontaneous unity
of purpose, with a will, with a within,
a rush and a hurrah on to success.
And why can not the people OF
Wheeling do the like? What forbids
them to unite and acquire an inspira-
ton from numbers, i-.pulse from en-
thusiasm, energy from hope and con
fidence III their undertaking, and per-
sistency from the glowing ~exaltation
of mind and heart ace warmed into
action by home love and patriotic ar
dor and devotion for the development
Of the generous bounties Of nature
with which Providence has so lavishly
so graciously surrounded and blessed
them?
Awake, ye people! All. Not some
only. Awake! Arise, or be forever
fallen!"
Forget the selfish present for a time
and grid up your loins for a generous
onset for future betterme b. Forget not
that the chains of habit are too small
to be felt until they are too strong to
be broken. Act before it is too-too
late. BecCma an inspiration, a
strength and a blessing to those who
will come after you. Contemplate the
enormous possibilities of your city, its
magnificent location, the treasures of
