carried a representative delegation OF
the business men of Ladysmlth, most
of whom were members of the Com
mercial Club, by whom the excursion
was planned. The tram arrived prompt
" or time. bringing two extra cars Tor
the accommodation of the Boosters for
Ladvsmith. ." Large streamers bear
inc this inscription were fastened to
either side of the cars. Several per-
sons from Bruce, Weyerhauser, Hawk
ins and Glen Flora helped to swell the
throng. and three more met US at Exc
land having come up from Bruce on
s.snecial." Over 100 in all went from
Ladysmith.
The train was delayed at Murry
waiting for the down train which was
nearly an hour late, but without much
exertion the lost time was made up ana
we covered the 1O9 miles to Superior on
schedule time, arriving at 2 p. m.
A reception committee of 28, headed
bv Congressman-elect |. l.. Lenroot,
awaited our arrival. Each visitor was
decorated with button bearing the
motto Superior delivers the goods.
Led by a brass band, we were ushered
to the spacious rooms of the CONNER
cial Club on the third floor OF the
Hammond block, where luncheon had
been prepared. Mayor Crumpton wei
coined the visitors and President
McGill responded After refreshing
the inner man, the Boosters" started
out to take in the sights, some crossing
the river to Duluth, farther down the
bay.
In the evening the Commercial
Club rooms were crowded by Lady
smith and Superior people, who had as
sembled to listen to the program pre-
pared for the occasion. Before it had
progressed far, an adjournment was
taken to the more commodious audience
room of the Elks Club on the fourth
floor. The Ladysmith speakers were
L. E. McGill, J. w. Fritz, J. w Carow,
G. E. Newman, Prof. R. H. Burns, IL.
w. True, T. M. Thomas and G. T. Eli
lingson. Superior was represented by
Jas. Bardon, Solon L. Perrin, j. /.
Murphy. DIR. J. A Rene, Hon. [. l..
Lenroot and John A Murphy. The
speaking was interspersed with singing
bv some of the musical members of the
Superior Commercial club and some
stories by the inimitable Harry Hall.
Besides discussing the mutual advan-
tages offered by the completion of the
Wisconsin Central main line extension,
connecting the two cities, many valua-
BILE suggestions were made for the
further development of North Wiscon-
sin. among them: the advertising of
the advantages of North Wisconsin by
the railroads; legislation permitting
the return of a part of the terminal
taxation o railroads to cities they
enter: drainage of swamp land; high
wav from Superior to Ladysmith; a
soil survey and geological survey of the
north part of the state, etc. Our in
terests are mutual-what will help one
city will help the other.
Editor Murphy of the Telegram com
mended the enterprise of Ladysmith
in sending such large delegation. He
figured it out that if Superior were to
return the compliment on the same
scale she would have to send 1900 of
her population to Ladysmith.
AZ about IL p. m. the, intellectual
feast ended and a luncheon was served.
Most of the Ladysmith people returned
the next morning, few staying over
another day.
