WASHINGTON
OTHER CITIES AND FIRMS INTER-
ESTED IN TRAIN.

Already has the fame of The Stars
Greater Washington special exposition
train spread over the country to the banks
of the Mississippi, where, in that busy mill
ing mark clustering around the break in
its waters az ST. -Anthony's Falls, Minneapo-
lis, city of progressive ideas, may emulate
her example.
And Washington hastens to inform the
citizens of the flour city that if they too
would make up and dispatch an exposition
train filled with exhibits and wide-awake
business and press representatives through
any territory which they may select as
best productive of trade to be drawn to
their own center of population, that it will
be foregone conclusion that their own
train will meet with the royal welcome and
gratifying success which has been the re-
ward to The Stars special in it's flight
through our southern contiguous territory.
Here are two interesting letters apropos:
