meet the increasing demand for its
products. One even at this short
distance from st. Peter can scarcely
realize what has been done quietly
by our little sister, without crying
aloud for a dollar of outside capital,
in the last dozen years. 1t has been
done with public spirit. with conf
dence, with self-reliance and good
judgement. 1t has been done with a
will and with a determination to
build up industries there that have
prospered elsewhere. Why cannot
the same thing be done in New Ulm
where there is much more capital,
if less enterprise, with equal success?

MOUND CITY IS
 NOW MAKING MERRY
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
 ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 4-Dr. Fred erick A. Cook, North pole discoverer, will ride at the head of the eduea- tional-historieal military pageant in St. Louis next Friday morning, Oc- tober Sth.
 As soon as it became known that pr. Cook would participate in the St. Louis centennial celebration Oe- tOber 3-S to the extent of delivering, Wednesday night, October 9th, at the new Coliseum, his first American lee ture, with stereoptican views of the North pole and vicinity, the Business Mems league, which is paying him for this one lecture a sum known to exceed $1O,OOO and estimated at $15,- 900, began to realize that public sen timent favored a great Cook demon 
 Despite its enormous seating ca paelty, the Coliseum can accommodate but 15,OOO of the 7OO,OOO St. Louisians and two or three hundred thousand centennial visitors who want to see Cook.
 James E. Smith, president of the Business Mems league, called a spe- cial meeting of the executive commit tee and Dr. Cook was asked to meet the public demand by consenting to ride in one of the centennial week processions, preferably the education al-historical-military pageant. The leagues invitation was supplemented by telegram from the Hon. Fred erick H. Kreismahn, mayor of the
Weekly journal-miner., 1909-10-06

city, and president of the St. Louis
 Centennial association, the municipal institution in charge of the eenten- nial celebration.
 Although disinelined to make any move which might give the erroneous impression that he is seeking mo- toriety, pr. Cook consented to these plans, whereby every person in the city will have an opportunity to meet him face to face. Dr. Cook will be escorted by a committee of dis tinguished citizens The welcome which he will receive is destined to go down into history.
 At Twelfth street Dr. Cook will leave the procession and take his place in the centennial court of honor. There, surrounded by the other mo- table guests, including the mayors of 1000 cities, and the officers of the visiting United States torpedo boat flotilla, he will review the great pageant, which, as its name suggests, will illustrate the educational prog ress of the city in the 100 years since its incorporation.
 The Coliseum, where Dr. Cook will lecture, was built by publie-spiritod citizens whose prime motive was not profit but the welfare of their city. Like builders of a world s fair, they hoped to recover eventually at least part of their investment. No divi- dends have been declared and per haps none ever will be. But the find consolation in the fact that St. Louis has one of the finest public halls in' the world.
