LETTER FROM C0RIELYOU
PRESIDENT WANTS TO COME
He'll Be the Guest of Honor at Con-
vention of Employer and
Employe. " ... .

President A. c. Paul OF the Commercial
Club is in receipt of letter from
George B. Cortelyou, secretary to the
president, in which he says that Presi-
dent Roosevelt hopes to be in Minneap-
oils at the time the eight-hour league
convention meets here. Mr.. Paul ex-
tended an invitation requesting the presi-
dent to come to Minneapolis as the clubs
guest. Secretary Cortelyou's reply is as
follows: ....
White House, Washington, D. c., June 5,
1902.-My Dear Sir: Your favor of the I'd
has been received, and in reply would say
that the president hopes to be able to visit
Minneapolis at the time you stated.
The president appreciates the invitation ex-
tended to him by the Commercial club to be
its guest, but it is impossible to send you a
definite response in this regard, inasmuch as
the details Of his stay in your city will
necessarily be left largely in the hands of
local committees. I would, therefore, sug-
gest that later on, when it has been fully
decided that the president is to make the
trip, you bring your wishes to the attention
of the committee -..-> .

courtesies, remain yours very truly, -.

DON'T ENTHUSE
Local Bankers See Little In the N.
A. Trust Plan.
CIRCULAR HAS SOME BAD ERRORS
Besides This, the Plan Is Thought
to Be Too Big to
Work.. ~

Minneapolis bankers do not believe that
the proposition of the North American
Trust company of New York for a big
branch bank system is worthy of serious
consideration. They regard the circular
issued by S. D. Scudder on the letter
head of the trust company as more Of an
advertising scheme than part of Sc
rious plan to promote a branch bank or
ganization. e.. -..-..
The North American Trust company
has among it's directors John G. Carlisle,
ex-secretary of the treasury, Frank
Rockefeller and Alvah Trowbridge, ex-
president of the American Bankers asso-
citation. Who Mr.. Scudder is cannot be
determined from the trust company's list
tiles say that some of the information
included in the published circular is
faulty and indicates lack of knowledge of
the present banking law. in it's relations
to branch banking. The scheme proposed
is not new, and in the opinion of local
bankers, would be practicable if any of
the big financial interests of the country
were back of it.. Nome of the local banks
have yet received copy Of the circular.
The thing that amuses Minneapolis
bankers is the attempt to promote deal
of this kind by circular; of committing
confidential information, as the writer
terms it, to a circular to be sent presum-
ably to many banks over the country,
which in itself would preclude the posi-
bility of the plans being kept private for
any reasonable time. 1t is pointed out
that any attempt to buy banks or interest
them in deal of such proportions by
circular would fall fiat. This and the
fact that the trust company's circular
was published almost as soon as issued,
convinces the local men that the promo
| tors are simply out for free advertising

N. Y, ROYALS AT THE DEWEY

The "New York Royals at the Dewey this
week, will close the season at that mouse
The entertainment provided is uneven. The
olio is good, distinctly Sc, and there is some
attractive music in the burlesque, but the
burlesque itself is poor imitation Of Webber
E. s'nFiddle-D ee-Dee' and the work OF
the comedians could easily be improved upon.
Fred H. Leslie's leaping sreyhounds have
first place on the program, and the act Is one
that pleases Dewey patrons highly: Burgess
Smith and Burgess, the "TrolleyeCar Trio
present an excellent eccentric acrobatic act;
the Phasey troop of twelve young women ap-
pear to good advantage, and Miss Alice Will
Hams entertains wthisa singing and dancing
speciality The moving pictures show the
funeral of the late President Mckinley, the
destruction OF the Spanish fleet at Santiago
Prince Henrys visit to West Point, and
numerous scenes calculated to rouse the risi-
bilities ... -. .
The best thing in the burlesque is Mabel

production, "Outre for Day. The chorus

THINGS GROW VIGOROUSLY

Past Week.
The summary Of the weather bureau s
climate and ero2 bulletin for Minnesota
for the past week follows:
There have been no very warm days,
OF unusually cool nights, during the week.
On the second Of the month there was
considerable rain, except in the Red River
valley and in the southwest; on the 9th
and 9Th, there were general rains, which
were locally heavy, thought the south
west these rains were lights on the 18th
there were light rains in the southern
counties The frequent rains have caused
a continuation of the vigorous growth OF
the small grains, grasses corn, potatoes,
fax and weeds, except on the low lands
where there is too much water, and the
crops there are suffering in consequence.
Some of the small rivers in the south
eastern part of the state have overf1owed
their banks. Wheat, oats and barley
have stooled freely, and there is now
danger of their becoming so rank that
lodging will result. Winter wheat is IN
head, and early barley is coming into
head Corn is about all planted, and most
of it is being cultivated, though where
the rains were heaviest, cultivation was
stopped, and weeds are getting a strong
start. Potato planting is not quite fin
ished; the earliest plants are showing in
dications of poisoning. Flax is making
fine growth; a little flax is still being
seedEd on new land. Timothy on old

in the class despite her afhiction. The un-
usual bond of friendship which exists be-
tween the two girls was explained by
Professor Webster, and the audience was
greatly pleased with her effort.
The valedictory essay, delivered by
Miss Caroline Engebretson, on the sub
ject of Happy Memories was a brief re-
view of the memories of school days that
become a part of the great store from
which many dark days are afterward
frightened. She predicted many things
which she believed would find place in the
storehouse Of memory along with those
of school days.
Rev. E. W. shurtleff, in behalf of T e
Journ a l.. presented to Miss Engebret-
son the gold medal won by her superior
scholarship for the course of four years.
Mr.. Shurtleff said:
In presenting this medal in behalf of T h e
Journal, would like to say a few words
in explanation. About fifteen years ago T b g
journal offered to set aside 500 each
year, to he divided into three prizes of $50,
$50 and $40, respectively, to be awarded to
the graduates of the high school who finished
with highest honors. Since the division of
the school, IT h Journa has changed
its plan, and now gives a gold medal to the
pupil in each high school who completes the
course with the Highest standing for four
years. 1t is by the invitation of T r
that am here tonight to present this
medal to the winner OF the class honors.
In presenting this prize I think that 1T is
proper for me to refer to the remarkable re-
lation that has existed through their school
life between Miss Engebretson and her at
flicted friend who stands beside her and
shares the honors with her tonight. She
has exhibited the noblest traits in her deyo-
ton, friendship and love to her friend who
is wrapped in eternal silence. She has proved
herself WORTHY of the honor which she has
won and T o u n a recognizes that 1t
is presenting this medal to one tonight who
has won the honor by hard work and de7o-
ton.
Another thing to which / wish to refer is
that Miss Engebretson has not only worked
| for herself but she has helped Others She
has supported herself during her four years
course that she might receive the education
that she has, and at the same time has beer
able to acquit herself with honor. The honor
which she receives tonight is one of which
she may justly feel proud.

A BANK MERGER
Details of a Plan to Combine Banks
in Financial Centers.

IN f1HdHC1d1 SCAlcTSs
Chicago, June lO--A circular letter dated
June has been issued on the letter heads
of the North American Trust company and
signed by s. d. Scudder, 135 Broadway, New
York, giving the details of the plans for
combining national banks in all state capt.
tails and financial centers under one owner
ship, one bank in each center. .
At the top OF the circular, which Is marked
CONFIDENTIAL" and sent to each banker with
whom the company is negotiating, is the fol-
lowing: IL. .- 49,. ~s

The circular says: -,
Recently the national banking act has been
amended to permit of expansion by the estab-
lishment Of small banks all over the country,
SO that barring the question OF taxa TO J.
to prevent the organization of an immense
national bank with this very purpose In view,
provided it were established with large enough
surplus to acquire a sufficient number OF
banks throughout the country.
However, aside from the question OF taxa a.
tion. there are other serious obstacles to the
ownership Of such banks under the national
banking law. A safer and more prontaole
plan would be the formation OF a corporation
which could purchase and control NUMBER
of national banks; also state banks and trust
companies wherever 1t seemed profitable to
do SO. o.
