THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI.
Trip That Com a--rcs FavorabIy with

He who has made voyage from St.
Paul to 81. louis by boat in the
springtime or the autumn has seen the
finest river scenery that may be OBJ
served from the deck OF steamer ex-
cepting that OF the Hudson and the
Rhine. Yet few people are aware OF the
pleasure and beauty OF such a trip. I
have flOated down nearly all OF the
great rivers. The Amazon from Ma
naOs. the great rubber market. about
100 miles from the sea. is n vast. ugly
volume OF water without any beauty
whatever The Orinoco from Cludad
Bolivar Is "A small edition of the Am
azon. although the tropical jungles
which line its banks are mysterious in
their denscness and are supposed to
conceal all sorts Of wild beasts and
creeping things. The Parana. which
flows from Paraguay down past Rue-
nos Ayres and Montevidco. Is more like
the Mississippi than any OF the others
except that il lacks the bold cliffs and
charming rOwns and villages that over
look the Father Of Waters The Mag
dalcna OF Colombia. the fourth largest
river in South America. is a turbid

course as often as the Missouri. II has
a wild sort OF splendor. but il does not
compare with the Mississippi in any re-
spect.
In Europe the Danube is more like
the Mississippi than any other river
and drains n similar country. The pas
senger boats are much superior be-
cause the proprietOrs cater 10 the tour
ist patronage. For several centuries
the governments Of the provinces
through which the Danube runs have
been improving its channel and wallinc
up its banks so that along at least half
its course II is now more of an artificial
than natural stream. At one point
where II flows through n mountain
gorge in the Balkans the scenery is
more striking than any along the Mis-
sissippi. but for the rest OF the way the
latter is much superior The Volga In
Russia is n good deal like the Missouri.

that are not at all attractive. The

Incompatible.
The Nile has been utilized by tourist
agencies greatly to their profit and
equally 10 the pleasure Of their pa
irons, although there Is very little nat
ural scenery. and the greatest attrac-
tons are the venerable ruins. the mys-
terieS OF the desert through which il
flows and the picturesque Arab settle
ments that line its banks. II similar
accommodations for travellers that are
now found on the Nile could be placed
upon the Mississippi and the boats
managed with equal skill and liberaIity
the enjoyment OF the voyage would be
much greater. but / suppose people will
continue 10 visit and admire the attrac-
tons Of Europe no matter what may
be said OF those that lie nearer home

gone and where the loss was. if any.
There is considerable opposition in the
delegation to the 100000 issue for the new
courthouse and city hall. Several of the
members express the opinion that a time
of prosperity is not a good time to issue
bonds for a burden on the future, and that
the city and county can get along for
some time yet with the building in its
present condition. Senator Calhoun has
a proposition to Keep the money at home
by authorizing the issue of certificates OF
indebtedness in small denominations, at
80 per cent, payable in twenty years OF
before. He would have these at the OPP
ton of citizens of Minneapolis for six
months, before being offered to the gen
eral public with the idea of keeping the
interest money in the city. while avoiding
any increase of the bonded debt.
