said, without paying heed to the
wonderful part played therein in the
early days by the soldiers, m~issionar-
les, explorers, and traders who did
their work for the honor of the proud
banners of France and CASTLE. While
the settlers ofEnglish-speaking stock,
and those of Dutch, German and Scan
dinayian origin who were associated
with them, were still clinging to the
eastern seaboard, the pioneers of
Spain and France had penetrated
deep into the hitherto unknown will
derness of the west and had wandered
far and wide within the boundaries
of what is now u mighty country.

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
There was no wind, but there were
manifold drafts which added to the
dampness inseparable from newly
erected buildings, produced a pene-
trating chill that was uncomfortable
to n degree. The effect of this was
evident in all of the speeches as the
speakers commencing theirspeechesin
clear tones, were, without exception,
given over to catarrhal infections as
they finished.
Despite this heavy handicap, how
ever, the ceremonies proper were
splendidly handled, and the pro-
gramme was carried out to the letter.
The police work was excellent and
the %patrolling of avenues and passage
ways by the First Missouri infantry
was ably done, all possible considera-
ton shown to the great crowd, which
numbered in round figures about 49,

Not Long, But Long Enough.
The line of march, while not a long
one, was of sufficient length to afford
the hundreds of thousands of people
who turned out to see it abundant OPP
portunity to be gratified. 1t passed
westward on Lindell boulevard, n
of the handsomest thoroughfares in
the United States, TO the entrance of
Forest park and then wound through
that beautiful sylvan retreat, over a
r1i'e or more of shaded driveway and
thence into the Worlds fair site, past
the Liberal Arts building, between
two rows of stately triumphal coli
umns and Venetian masts bedecked
with bunting, and on to the grand
causeway and past the reviewing
stand, without any of the worn and
tired look incident to the usual over
lengthy marches of public occasions.
The various field and dress uniforms
were all in evidence, lending variety
to the pageant, and the formation of
the troops, ~ files front, was just
sufficient to give good effect to the
column in motion. The entire route
had been roped off, so that any I'M
seemly crowding of spectators on to
the line of march was avoided. and
everyone was enabled to see in all
its grandeur and effectiveness the
passage of a miniature army.
Distinguished Personages.
Among the distinguished person
ages in the parade, preceding the mill
tarv, in addition to President Roose-
welt and ex-President Cleveland, were
Lieut.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles, nearly
all the foreign diplomatic corps,
members of the national commission,
the French and other foreign commits
%sioners, governors of states with their
s%taffs, the whole being led by Maj
Gen. Corbin, with ii brilliant staff of
aids, superbly mounted.
The spectacle was one which will
live long in the. memory of all who
witnessed it, as it gave an effective
illustration of what the army of the
United States is composed and the
reserve force of citizen soldiery to be
drawn upon in case of emergency.
At the Reviewing stand.
The arrival of President Roosevelt
at the reviewing stand was the signal
for the firing of a presidential sa-
lutte.
The passage of the troops in re-
view occupied over an hour, at the
close of which the president and in
vited guests repaired to luncheon.
Meanwhile the doors of the Liberal
Arts building, where the dedication
services were to be held, were thrown
open, and while the great audience
was assembling a grand band concert
was in progress.

to the purpose of celebrating, by a
great international exposition the ac-
QUESTION, by purchase from France,

so UNNECESSARILY to the wealth and
national greatness of the United

"He who represented the natior

by the developments already in view,
and greater ones promised, he added:
Who can contemplate without vivid
emotions this spectacle of the happi-
ness of the present generation, and
the certain pledges of the prosperity

follow? At these magnificent pros
poets the heart beats with joy in the
breasts of those who were permitted
to see the dawn of these bright days,
and who are assured that so many
happy presages will be accomplished
Prophecy's FuIflIment.
"Thus we may well recall in these
surroundings the wonderful measure
of prophecy's fulfillment within the
span of a short century, the spirit,
the patriotism, and the civic virtue
of Americans who lived a hundred
years ago, and Gods overruling of the
wrath of man and his devious ways,
for the blessing of our nation.
"We t all proud of our American
citizenship. Let us leave this place
with this feeling stimulated by the
sentiments born of the occasion. Let
us appreciate more keenly than ever
how vitality necessary it is to our
country's veal that every one within
its citizenship should be clean-minded
in political aim and aspiration, sim
cere and honest in his conception of
our country's mission, and aroused to

ism by the reflection that it is a sol
emn thing to belong to a people ia
vored of God"
In every possible way,save one-the
exercises were an unequivocal success
and this M circumstance was the
weather. 1t would be difficult to
imagine a more disagreeable day. The
wind blew f%iercely from the west,
sending great clouds of dust whirling
into the faces of the troops as they
marched past the president, and at
times so nearly binding the president
that it was well nigh impossible for
him to see across the street upon
which the troops were marching.
Added to the discomfort of the wind
and dust was a temperature which
sought for the marrow and generally
reached it. The ladies', who, on the
strength of the warm weather Wed.
nesday, camein summer dresses to the
reviewing stand, suffered keenly, and
but for the thoughtfulness of officers
commanding the guard thrown
around the reviewing stand, who pro-
vided them with blankets, many of
them would have been compelled to
leave the place. Both President Roose-
welt and eX-President Cleveland re-
manned in the reviewing stand eS-
posed to the icy wind until the end of
the parade, although their faces were
blue and their limbs stiffened by the
cold.

dent David Il. Francis of the Louisi-

invocation was pronounced by his
eminence, James, Cardinal Gibbons.
Hon. Thomas III. Carter, president
of the national commission and presi-
dent of the day, was then introduced,
and spoke briefly of the grandeur of
the Louisiana purchase and what had
been accomplished in the first century
of our possession of the territory ac-
CURED from France, which at the
time was only considered valuable by
many American statesmen because it
secured to us the free navigation of
the Mississippi river. 1t was fitting,
he said, that the celebration should
be international, as it would be vain
to name a civilized country whose
sons and daughters had not contribut-
ed to the glorious triumphs of peace
recorded within lis boundaries. In
the name of the national commission
President Carter extended to all a
cordial welcome to the dedication ex-
e~rcises, and called upon the grand
festival chorus to render Beethoven's
creation hymn, "The Heavens Pro-

ing melody swept over the vast struc-
ture, thrilling the audience with the
well-nigh perfect rendition of the
well worn, but always glorious, num-

In due form, President Francis

inception Of the enterprise, and the
various steps taken to bring it to a
successful issue, presented the build
ings to President Roosevelt, his con-
GLIDING words being:
"And now, Mr.. President, it is my
pleasing privilege and high honor to
present to you for dedication the
buildings Of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. May q high standard OF
citizenship and broader humanity and
the mission of the country whose
worthy representative you are, be sus-
tanned and fostered and promoted by
the uses to which these structures are
devoted. May the happiness Of man
kind be advanced and broadened by
the lofty purpose that inspired this
undertaking, and move our own and
| sister countries to unite in its accom-
plishment."
The Dedication Address.
In his address of acceptance and
dedication President Roosevelt struck
a responsive chord among his hearers.
He recalled to their minds that the
soil upon which they stood, before it
was ours was successfully the posses

The COMPANY Orders a Site Pur-
chased For New Depot.
A DIRECT LINE TO ST. PAUL
Runners That the Company will Build an
Extention From Iron River to
Grantsburg. THIS would Mean
Great Dealto Washburn.

Agent Duffy has received orders
from the Northern Pacific railroad
company to purchase new site for
a depot, and his company assures
him that there is no question but
what the building will be done dur
ing the coming spring. Big things
are very probable so far as the
Northern Pacific railroad in con-
cerned. There was a dispatch sent
out from st. Paul last week to the
daily press that the Northern Paci-
fic would build line from Grants
burg to Iron River the coming sum-
mer. Inquiry from local railroad
men brings out the information that
the Northern Pacific have been con-
sidering the feasibility of such a
line for several months. Dispatches
even go so far as to say that the
surveyors are already at work on
the line, but this cannot be con-
firmed. However it looks very
plausible that the connection will
be made, as it will give the North
ern Pacific people a direct line to
Ashland and Wasbburn, from St.
Paul and Minneapolis, whereas the
line is now q very indirect one. 1t
is claimed that if the line is built
that it will be twenty-five miles
shorter to ST. Paul and Minneapolis
than the Omaha now is, and that it
will mean that the company will be a
strong competitor for the western
grain business. 1t would also open
up new and rich country. In con-
firmation of the report is the theory
ts'sla the lie of tie COZ paa5 between
here and Iron River would then be-
come factor in bringing the com
pany to a harbor which they could
make use of in doing all kinds of
shipping. The people Of Washburn
are certainly anxious that proof oil
the newspaper report is forthcoming.
