prises right here In our city. We
believe the Commercial Club could do
much in the way OF securing factories
for Willmar that would be of great
benefit to the city If only the proper
Inducements were thrown out. Many
Of our exchanges report the establish.
ment Of different kinds of factories in
their respective localities that are
thriyiug and there is no reason Why
this city could not have them just as
we'll. We certainly have all the prop
or facilities for at least some of them.
Here is an opportunity for some good
active work on the part of Willmsr's
Commercial Club. We publish the
following from Saturdays Litchneld
Review, which may be quite suggest

The annual meeting of the Lttch-
field Glove Factory was held on Mon.
day evening OF this week. The first
years business was satisfactory,
showing . balance on the proper side.
Nearly %, 600 in money was distrib.
uted at homo In Litchfleld in the way
Of salaries exclusive of commissions.
The matter of erecting q suitable
building for factory purposes is on

The Women's Institute.

No less interesting and beneficial
than the men's institute was the insti-
tute which was held at the Odd Fell

afternoons for the ladies. The ses.

manifested. The institute instructors

mars& Sioux Falls branch OF the
F1sat Northern was the replacing
OF the old 60. pound steels rails by
those Of 80 pounds. A large crew of
men n had been at work for some time
and the large steel gang arrived here
last Saturday, after completing it's
1abors. All the workmen were paid
OF and have left for their winter
quarters. The laying of this heavier
steel probably means that heavier
trains will be put on soon. The VOL
ume OF business done on this line has
always been heavy one and needed
improvements to meet tho growing
business are made from time to time.
The Willmar & Sioux Falls
branch is certainly good-paying one
for the Great Northern. The passen-
ger traffic is steadily increasing, and
the volume Of freight business done on
this branch is by no means a small
one. An observing individual at this
point cannot help but noticing the in.
creased passenger traffic Through
here. A noticeable feature is that
there seems to be an increase in the
travel over this line by persons who
have been in the habit of taking the
Milwaukee road from such points as
Granite Falls and adjacent territory
to make trips to the twin cities. The
Great Northern Is certainly doing an
enormous business through Willmar,
and the different branches bringing in
their quota of traffic makes the scene
at the railway station very busy one,
especially during the time when ell
the day trains make connections.
= There 10 no city of the size of WILL
mar that is better supplied with good
passenger service, and business men
especially notice this when desiri ing to
make what are commonly known as
'.ayiug' trips. They can now leave
and return in few hours, without
losing much time from other business.
No less than twelve passenger trains
arrive and depart daily on all four
divisions here and this means excel
lent mail service as we'll. Few people
stop to realize how much these things
60 ntribute toward the advancement
and progress Of our city.
With such excellent opportunities
for reaching out In all directions,
Willmar is certainly . most coaven.
