EXCURSION ON
THE SOO LINE.
The proposition of having
an excursion run over the
newBrooten Duluth branch of
the Soo line as soon as passenger traffic is begun, promises
fair to become a reality, and
the idea should meet with the
hearty approval of all the
towns along the line. The
mutual benefits which would
be derived by all parties concerned if these plans are carried out, are clearlv set torth
in the following comments of
the Duluth Herald and Lake
Breeze of Onamia:
The public affairs committee
of the Duluth Commercial
Club has done well to take up
the work of assisting in the
projected t xcu< sion to Duluth
from towns c-long the new line
of the Soo railroad which has
lately reached the Head of the
Lakes and is about to begin
running trains here.
The people living in these
communities have long been
neighbors to Duluth in point
of distance, though far removed by he barrier of territory
".abridged by railroad facilities. Railroad enter prise has
closed the gap, and the first
tap of the sledge that drove
home the last spike cemented
to this city a rich and promising region, whose development
is of as great importance to
Duluth as it is to those that
live in it.
Therefore it will be well for
! Duluth to get acquainted with
' those people, and for them to
get acquainted with Duluth.
It would be hard to imagine
a better way toaccomtilishth.it
than through the popular excursions which are proposed.
The opening of the road to
passenger traffic on^ht, therefore, to be made the occasion
for beginning an acquaintance
that should be and doubtless
will be fn.fitable to all concerned.—Duluth Herald.
In an other column appears
the comment of the Duluth
Herald upon the plan to secure an excursion along the
new Soo line *o run to Duluth
upon tin? opening of the road
to passenger traffic. This
idea, which originated with
Mr. G. C   ol Onamia, and was
the new line for traffic. Duluth will be ou~ i earest and
most convenient whole
trading point and we will lie
brought more directi in c< n-
tact with the oU.t-ide world
and closer competitio i «iti
other surrounding towns.
We should have a omnner-i
cial club composed of   ever* j
business  man in the town. n,d j
through this  make a systematic stulv   of the   conditions
so that we will be abL* to take
advantage of everv opportunity that offers to further >he
interests of our town.
We note from our exchanges that mar.v of the' 'owns a-
l.mg the line are co-ope^ting
in a movement to have an excursion   train   run    ov  r    t'ej
new line.     Whv is Pierz, th.-i
most   important town   on thej
line, not taking an active part
in this movement? Simplv be*I
cause she has no organization
to  look after her commercial!
interests.

cial Club before the Commer
cial clubs along the line and at
Duluth, is an excellent one.
With the completion of this
line Duluth becomes our main
trading point, and it is desirable that our merchants and
business men should become
acquainted with the wholesalers, merchants and manufacturers of the hustling city at
the head of the Lakes. We
are informed that arrangements will soon be completed,
so that theexcursion will take
place immediateiv upon the
opening of the line to passenger traffie.
JAMES SMART
PASSES AWAY.
The  people   of   the village
were shocked  this morning to
learn of the sudden and urn x  j
pe.ted death of our townsman
James Smart, which occurred'
probably abont one o'clock this
morning.       As   Henry    Rchi
came down the street about 51
o'clock this   morniny,  he saw j
Mr. Smart sitting on the ""ide*-
walk north of the Pierz Hotel
and leaning against the build-;
ing.    In his right hand he had
a water pitcher.     Upon close j
inspection.   Mr. Roch decided I
that the bodv was lifeless and
must have  remained   in  that
condition fr f several hours.
The inference is that the]
deceased was on his way to
the pump to get water, when
he was striken suddenly and
settled to a sitting posture, in
which position life prnbablv
became extinct without his
regaining consciousness.
Mi-. Siiinrr. hnrl IjPPn ailing for about
three weeks with heart failure orhicfa was
undoubtedly tbe cause of hie d<
The deceased was nbout Sfl years of
i nge. of Sooteh iiarentay.- He c*me to
