Citj of ^hi^t ?kul.

St. Paul, the capital of Minnesota, is situated on the east bank of the Mississippi river, fifteen miles below the 'Falls of St. Anthony. Its site is one of the most pictur- esque and beautiful in the whole country, being in the midst of an amphitheatre of encircling hills, affording fine elevations for views and private residences; while its foundations are laid on a solid bed of sand and limestone, securing excellent natural drainage and a dry and healthy location. The rapidity with which St. Paul has attained its present proportions, affords an example of commercial development unparalleled in any other city in the United States. Beginning with a few log huts, about twenty-five years ago, St. Paul has grown to be a city of forty thou- sand inhabitants, and has doubled its population within the last four years. But not alone in population has St. Paul made rapid progress. Few cities of Its size can equal it in business activity; in the extent and geographi- cal extent of its trade; in the magnitude of its current financial operations; and in the strength and high stand- ing of its business houses and banks. Its energy and vigorous prosperity are visible in all its crowded thor- oughfares of business; in the arrival and departure of its hundred trains daily; the palatial elegance of its resi- dences, and its miles of substantial business streets. It is a marvel to many strangers visiting St. Paul, to find here not merely a city of 40,000 inhabitants, but one with all the appliances, comforts, and even elegances, of the best equipped cities of the older States - with paved

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL.

streets, elegant residences, fine churches, water works, gas lights, and street railways; and to find here fostered and encouraged, by thousands of intelligent and culti- vated people, all the social, scientific, literary, and re- ligious institutions which makes home desirable in any part of the United States. Such is St: Paul at the present time, though all these advantages have been created within less than a quarter of a century!

The natural position of St. Paul for commerce is one of commanding importance - a situation which lifts it above the rank of any ordinary inland city, and confers upon it the dignity of the Commercial Metropolis of the Northwest. It is entitled to this appellation not alone for the prominence given it as the chief city and capital of the State, but from its situation in the midst of a vast commercial empire, of which it is the natural center and emporium of distribution. St. Paul is situated at the head of navigation on the grandest river of the continent, and within a short distance of the mouths of both the principal navigable rivers in the State, the St. Croix and the Minnesota, in the ctnter ofa commercial area larger than the whole of the Middle States, embracing the finest wheat district of America, and extending from Iowa north to the British Possessions and from Western Wisconsin to the head waters of the Missouri Within this vast area there is no city of importance likely to become a rival of St. Paul in the next hundred years.

To these natural advantages which have contributed so much to the growth and development of St. Paul, can be added a system of railroads, unsurpassed by that of any other City for its adaptability to the commercial independ- ence of St. Paul, and its command of the trade of the vast outlying region of country. The following shows the Rail- road system somewhat.

The Wi-:sr Wisconsin Railroad, making a through line to Milwaukee and Chicago by connecting at Elroy,

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL.

Wisconsin, 198 miles from St. Paul, with the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad, with which it is allied.

This new route was opened in January, 1873, and its shipment of grain from St. Paul alone during the year fol- lowing, amounted to 831,378 bushels. This is in every respect a first class railroad, and by competition with its rivals has already secured to St. Paul first class accommoda- tions and a reduction in time and tariff, besides making a considerable portion of Western Wisconsin tributary to the Metropolis of Minnesota. The general Freight De- partment of this road is located at St. Paul.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, comprising two divisions, the RiVER DIVISION, following the Mississippi on its east bank to Hastings, where it crosses the river, thence through Red Wing, Lake City, and Wabashaw to Winona, 103 miles, whence it continues on by La Crosse to Milwaukee and Chicago. This road is a sharp competitor to the West Wisconsin, in trans- portation to Lake Michigan and the East. The lOWA Division, running south from St. Paul through the most populous agricultural district of Minnesota and Northeast- ern Iowa, through the flourishing towns of Farmington, Northfield, Faribault, Owatonna and Austin, to the State Line.

The Minneapolis & St. Louis and Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railways. - This line is one of the most important (one may say) leading out of St. Paul, as freight and passengers can be carried by this route through one of the finest agricultural sections of Minnesota (connecting, as it does, at Merriam Junction, on the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad), leaving St. Paul at 3.15 P. M. for the flourishing new towns of Jordan, Watervillc, Waseca, and Albert Lea, 108 miles; thence on through one of the most thickly populated parts of Iowa, passing by Northivooci, Shell Roek, Cedar Falls,

REFER KNCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL.

and Waterloo, to Cedar Rapids, 154 miles, whence it ex- tends in a direct line south to Burlington 98 miles, and St. Louis, 212 miles. On this route, the loWA ROUTE, connections were macie, by the completion of the Min- neapolis & St. Louis Railway to Albert Lea, in Novem- ber, 1877, with the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &" Nor- thern Raihvay, making direct connections for St. Louis and the South. It is the only line running its entire trains between Merriam Junction and Burlington, Iowa, without transfer of passengers or baggage. On and after March 1st, 1878, the celebrated Pullman Palace Sleeping Car will run between Minneapolis and Burlington, without change.

The Saint Paul and Sioux City Railroad, running Southwest, along the rich and beautiful valley of the Min- nesota, over a broad stretch of fertile prairie, to Sioux City, 270 miles from St.- Paul, where it connects with the Sioux City branch of the Union Pacific, making complete connections to San Francisco, and to all points South and West of Sioux City; also with the Dakota Southern Rail- road, for Yankton and the Black Hills, and with the Cov- ington, Columbus and Black Hills Railroad. The WORTH- ington and Sioux Falls Division' of this road leaves the main line at Worthington, and traverses the South- western counties of Minnesota to Sioux Falls, Dakota, 63 miles.

y The Saint Paul, Stillwater and Taylor Falls Railroad, running East to Stillwater, a distance of 20 miles, and to be completed to Taylor's Falls, on the St. Croix River, 30 miles from Stillwater. The branch of this road running from Stillwater to River «rFalls, Wisconsin, a distance of 18 miles, is now completed; this branch is a ver}' important one to the commerce of St. Paul, tapping as it does another stream of trade and directing its course hithcrward to establish new business connections to the

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL. 5

mutual profit of all, Pierce County, Wis., being one of the most thickly settled in Wisconsin, and noted for its indus- try and thrift. The part of the road running from Hudson, Wisconsin, northwest to Clayton, Wisconsin, a distance of 45 miles, will be continued during the year 1878, twenty- five miles farther. This line connects with steamers on the St. Croix River at Stillwater and Hudson, for all points North and South, thus enabling the traveller to reach some of the finest points in the world for pleasure and fine scenery, the Dalles of St. Croix having a world- wide reputation for sublimity and beauty.

The Northern Pacific Railroad, which in course of time is to be the Pacific Railroad of the country, passing north and west from St. Paul to Bismark, a distance of 480 miles, passing through the celebrated Park Region so called on account of the many picturesque parks and groves, which, with the intervening lawns and undu- lating prairies, waving in summer with luxuriant grasses, lend a charm and beauty to the landscape hardly to be surpassed on the continent. Thence on through the valley of the Red River of the north.

Here the visitor finds the great "Wheat Field of Ame- rica," the settler of moderate means, lands unsurpassed on the continent for productiveness, from which he can se- lect a farm of any desired, size, from 40 to 160 or more acres, and it is here that the capitalist has already com- menced demonstrating that great farms can be managed with corresponding profit; where furroughs, unbroken by hillocks, hollows, ridges, or other obstructions, may be turned for ten or even twenty miles between the streams tributary to the Red River, or between the river and the eastern boundary of the valley. To the eye, the valley seems perfectly level; but the descent to the river is at the rate often feet to the mile - sufficient for drainage.

The valley of the Red River is about three hundred and fifty miles long north and south, and about forty miles 1

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL.

east and west, containing an area of about twenty thou- sand square miles of land unsurpassed for fertility.

The Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad, Main Line, running west from St. Paul, 337 miles to Fisher's Landing, from whence it will be completed during the summer of 1878, to P'ort Garry, in Manitoba, 187 miles, thus opening up to commerce one of the finest agricultural valleys on the continent, the celebrated Red River valley of the north, and where thriving agricultural settlements are sure to spring up.

The Saint Paul and Pacific, Branch Line, run- ning northwest on the east side of the Mississippi River, and connecting at Brainerd with the Northern Pacific Railroad, 140 miles from St. Paul.

Saint Paul and Duluth Railroad, running from St. Paul to Duluth, and connecting the head of naviga- tion on the Mississippi with the head of navigation on Lake Superior by a railway connection only of 155 miles in length. This road brings the Lake system of naviga- tion almost to the door of St. Paul, or within less than half the distance to Chicago by the shortest route. On the supposition that freights will be uniformly, as they have been, occasionally, conveyed from the seaboard Cities to Duluth at the same price as to Chicago, of which there can be little doubt, this will practically make St. Paul the jobbing center of the Northwest by the saving of from 255 to 285 miles of transportation b\- rail.

From this survey of the railroad system of St. Paul, it will at once be seen that the pre-eminent advantages of its commercial position is its command of a number of rival outlets to the Great Lakes and the seaboard, which are necessarily arrayed in active competition for its trade, and ensures its supremacy as the cheapest market west of Lake Michigan; and its comprehensive system of distrib-

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA VL.

uting radiants, its short railroad connection with Lake Superior, fixes the standard which regulates the rates for the longer lines of the Lake Michigan system, and gives it great advantage over Chicago as a source of supply for the vast region west of it traversed by its railroad lines. The value of the Mississippi, already very great as a competing channel of transit, will be increased a hundred- fold by the improvements now in progress and contem- plated.

We cannot trace the entire history of religious develop- ment in St. Paul to the present time; suffice it to say, that the city has now more than thirty churches, many of them "with large memberships, and edifices which are models of ecclesiastical architecture. Six of these are Roman Catholic. The Cathedral, though a very spacious structure, is neither so elegant or expensive as the German Catholic Church, which is built of blue lime- stone, at a cost of $200,000. The most elegant church edifice in the city is the new Baptist Church. It is built of the pink Kasota sandstone, and cost $100,000. St. Mary's Chapel (Catholic), the House of Hope (Presby- terian), and Christ Church (Episcopal), are among the most elegant edifices in the city, whilst the Universalists, Methodists, and Congregationalists also have fine churches.

Few cities can boast a more efficient public school system than St. Paul. There are several very large school buildings, affording accommodations for many children. But the growth of population has been so rapid that educational facilities have hardly been able to keep pace with the wants of the city. The schools arc graded into primary, intermediate, grammar, and high schools, and are under the charge of an efficient superin- tendent.

St. Paul has grown to its present greatness within a period of twenty-five years. Up to the time of the ad-

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL.

mission of tlic TL-rritory in 1849, it was a mere collection of log huts, covered with birch bark roofs, and occupied chiefly by half-breeds and Indian traders.

The name St. Paul was given to this frontier settlement in 1841, by Rev. L. Gaulticr, a French Catholic priest, who came to this country in 1838. This priest was sent as a missionary to Mendota, by Bishop Loras, of Dubuque, and, after remaining there a few months, visited the present site of St. Paul, and secured by donation from B. Gcrvais and Vctal Gucrin, a lot of land, "for a church, a garden and a graveyard." "In October, 1841," says Father Gaultier, "logs were procured and a church erec- ted, so poor that it might well remind one of the stable at Bethlehem. On the first of November, in the same year, I blessed the new basilica, and dedicated it to St. Paul, the Apostle of nations. I expressed a wish, at the same time, that the settlement might be known by the same name, and my desire has been obtained."

Previous to this, the place had been called "Pig's Eye." an appellation derived from a one-eyed Christian, by the name of Parant; Parant's physiognomy so much resembled that of a pig as to suggest the name. He was a low fel- low, whose chief occupation was selling whiskey to soldiers and Indians. It is said that Parant was the first actual settler of St. Paul. Being dri\en from a point higher up the river, he erected a cabin on what is now Bench street, in 1838.

As early as 1843 stores were established in St. Paul by J. W. Simpson and Louis Roberts. It will give some idea of the metropolis of Minnesota in 1849, to state that at that time all the bluff from Bench street to the river, and from near the foot of Jackson street to the upper landing, was in a wild, uncleared condition. The only building between the two points, on the south side of Bench street, being a log hut under the blufif.

The original plat of St. Paul was made by Ira Bronson. The town was incorporated by act of the first Legislature,

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL.

in 1849; it included the original plat and Irvine and Rice's addition. In 1851, the Legislature enlarged its bound- aries. The first town officers elected were, Thomas R. Potts, president; Edmund Rice, recorder; Wm. H. Forbes, B. F. Hoyt, William Randall, Henry Jackson, and A. L. Larpenteur, trustees.

From 1849, when a few rude buildings marked the site of this city, what has pushed it ahead to its present dimension but its position at the head of navigation of the great river? The importance of this fact has been overlooked by the casual observer, by the diversion of travel to rail- roads; and the never ending noise of trains of cars com- ing here at all hours from almost every point of the com- pass; but I repeat, what caused the roads to center here but to meet the uppermost commerce of the Mississippi river? Had there been no river, and had the general government, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars constructed a toll-gathering canal, costly in its yearly re- pairs, from the Gulf of Mexico to this point, no one would for a moment hesitate in the belief that this would be the Metropolis of the Northwest, but like other God-given blessings - costing nothing, we fail to appreciate this great commercial advantage. Nature in her gifts has been most bountiful, for she has placed the two great city-making elements - commercial and manufacturing - so near to- gether, that their union is almost complete. Mutual in- terest will demand the strength of union, and when united, the gain will be so apparent, that all will wonder why the union was so long delayed.

Aside from the Red River of the North, there are two great water lines of commercial development east of the Rock)' mountains, extending from the heart of this State to the ocean - the St. Lawrence and the great lakes pene- trating the continent to Duluth - a national highway, with a succession of cities thereon increasing in wealth and

population in proportion to the area of trade each com- mands.

Very similar is the southern or Mississippi route upon which its cities have reached their present prosperity as marts for adjoining districts, and of all the cities upon these two great outlets none have, except St. Louis, such a magnificent and extensive supporting area as St. Paul, extending westward to the Rocky mountains and beyond, as well as northward into British America, where three provinces, each as large as Minnesota, are in course of organization.

Additional importance is attached to St. Paul's position at the head of Mississippi navigation, with its twenty-five thousand miles of navigable tributaries, since the day is near at hand when the Fox and Wisconsin rivers improve- ment will be completed, giving an uninterrupted water communication via the Lakes, the Welland Canal, and the St. Lawrence, to its Gulf.

Our internal navigable and navigated waters contribute largely towards aiding the people of this State to cheap transportation; as follows:

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL. 11

With such ample provisions of natural communication, aided by a railroad system of two thousand miles com- pleted, and annually increasing to meet the wants of immigrants who are constantly widening the border of civilization and commerce, and all tributary to us, the future of this city rests upon a sure foundation, especially when combined with a healthful climate, unsurpassed agricultural resources, and ample supplies of building material.

More than any other State in the Union it abounds in lakes and streams of pure water, well stocked with the choicest fish, in ad.dition to native varieties.

Well may we be proud of Minnesota, and well may we rejoice in her growth and in the growth of her cities and towns, for to her and to them we must look in a great measure for our prosperity. Experience teaches us, how- ever, that we must not rely solely upon the commanding physical position nature has given us, but must bring in aid of its development the united, intelligent, and vigor- ous action of our citizens to hasten the realization of the prophesy of Mr. Seward, who, in speaking of St. Paul, said: "Here is the place - the central place - where the agriculture of the richest region of North America must pour out its tributes to the whole world. On the East, all along the shores of Lake Superior, and West, stretching in one broad plain, in a belt quite across the continent, is a country where State after State is yet to arise, and where the productions for the support of human society in the old crowded States must be brought forth, for power is not to reside permanently on the eastern slope of the Alleghany Mountains, nor in the seaports. Seaports have always been overrun and controlled by the people of the interior, and the power that shall communicate and ex- press the will of men on this continent is to be located in the Mississippi Valley, and at the sources of the Missis- sippi and the St. Lawrence."

While St. Paul is known and recognized as the great

Difference $;J3,001 40

Upon which the Postmasters selling them have realized a profit of from 40 to 60 per cent., and defrauded the Government to that amount, without renderintr an\' equivalent service therefor.

Estimate based upon the sales of stamps at this office, from June 30th, 1865, to June 30th, 1877 (before the pa.ssage of the law allowing commissions on the sale of stamps), and showing that at that time the stamps sold exceeded in value the stamps cancelled by over fourteen and one-tenth per cent. By applying this ratio to the stamps cancelled at this office the past year, the sales should have been $88,624 84

They were, exclusive of publishers' stamps 44,759 40

The difference then would be $43,865 40

BANKS AND BUSINESS. As the newspaper is the barometer of a community, so are the banks its chronometer. The banks of St. Paul number seven - three National, The First, The Second, and The Merchants' National; three State, The German American, The Farmers' and Mechanics', and The St. Paul Savings; and one private institution, that of Dawson & Co., all doing a general banking business, except The Savings. All of these banks have abundant capital, and are managed upon sound business principles. The result is, that while other localities have witnessed numerous bank failures or retirements for want of profitable busi- ness, the St. Paul banks have maintained their well earned reputation of being among the soundest in the country, and are in the enjoyment of a healthy business, as is shown by the following statement:

Decisions of tlic Courts Aflirming the Equal Riglits of Sliippers on Railroads.

STATEMENT PREPARED BY W. P. CLOUGH, ESQ.

Discriminations betiveen Shippers of Produce.

An important contribution to the law regulating the dealings of railroad carriers with shippers of produce, has been made by a recent decision of Judges DiLLON and Nelson, of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Minnesota, in the case of Louis Grieser vs. Chas. Mcllrath, Receiver of the Southern Minnesota Rail- road.

The facts in that case, and points ruled upon by the Court, are understood to have been substantially these:

The Southern Minnesota Railroad Company has not, itself, maintained elevators or warehouses along the line of its road, for storing and handling grain; but that enter- prise has been left with individuals, engaged in the busi- ness of buying produce at the stations and of shipping the same over the road. Under this system, two or more dealers in grain have, since the road was opened up for business, maintained warehouses suitable for handling all kinds of farm produce, at every station on the line of the road at which the business was considered sufficient to warrant the same being done.

In the summer of 1872, the company entered into a contract with J. C. Easton, Esq., by which that gentleman

liEFintENCE BOOK TO sT. PAUL.

was to maintain one or more warehouses, and to engage in the business of buying and shipping farm produce at every station on the Hne of the road. He was to furnish all the necessary capital for carrying on the business, and was to own and handle all the produce bought by him. The produce was to be bought at such prices as the officers of the company should dictate, and, wiien bought, was to be sold on the da}' following, in Milwaukee, to arrive. Out of the proceeds of the j)roduce realized in the eastern market, Easton was to deduct the price paid by him there- for, all expenses and commissions incurred in handling the produce, interest upon the capital employed in the busi- ness, and a commission for his personal profit, of one cent for every bushel of grain, and of one per centum of the price of other produce. The balance of the proceeds, after making the deductions stated, was to be handed over to the road, as full payment of its freight and other charges in respect to tlie produce.

In the fall of 1872 the trustees, in a mortgage previously executed by the company to secure certain bonds issued by it, commenced a suit to foreclose the mortgage, in the court mentioned, and Mr. Mcllrath was appointed Re- ceiver of the road, with the powers and duties usual in such cases

When the Receiver assumed the management of the road, he continued in force tlie arrangement with Mr. Easton before mentioned, and it was acted upon by the parties until sometime in the fore part of the year 1874, when it was finally broken off. The reasons assigned for Mr. Mcllrath in the litigation referred to, for keeping the Easton arrangement on foot under his own administration, were, that it was for the interest of the road that produce should be bought and handled at every station; that the road was unsupplied with warehouses of its own, suitable for the produce trade; and, particularly, that such an ar- rangement was necessary to prevent combinations between produce dealers along the road, for the purpose of putting

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL. - 53

down the paying prices for produce below what they might be, with a fair profit to the dealer.

Acting under the arrangement mentioned, Easton kept warehouses and buyers, and bought and handled produce at every station on the road. At a few of the smaller stations he had no competition at all; but at all the prin- cipal stations, lie had close competition from several other heavy firms. During the time while this special arrange- ment was in force, the receiver maintained a regular tariff of freights and charges on produce shipped over the road by the car load; and all other dealers in produce, beside Easton, were compelled to pay freights and charges on all produce shipped by them over the road, in accordance with such tariff. The existence and terms of the arrange- ment with Easton, and its results to the road, were kept secret from the other shippers, as the latter claim, and as the court is understood to have decided, and consequently, the payments of freights and charges made by such ship- pers were made without protest being entered at the time.

The actual results of the working of the arrangement were, that, on the produce carried over the road for Easton, during the period between about December i, 1873, and March i, 1874, the aggregate amount accepted b}^ the receiver in full of freights and charges, was between $40,000 and $50,000, or about 34 per cent. less than such freights and charges would have come to at the regular tariff rates charged other patrons of the road.

The facts relating to the existence and workings of the special arrangement, were all developed by a legislative investigation at the Session of 1874; and shortly there- after nearly all the dealers in grain along the Southern Min- nesota Road united to prosecute proceedings against the receiver to recover back from him the difference between the rates of transportation which they had been compelled to pay on their produce, and those which had been ac- cepted from Easton under his arrangement. The suit above referred to was instituted as a test case, to deter-

;-)4 REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL.

mine the rii;hts of the grain dealers in the premises; and the same was decided by the court at the term thereof now in progress. The court in its decision held, in sub- stance, that the Easton arrangement was unlawful and un- authorized, and was an unjust discrimination against the other grain dealers doing business along the road; that the other dealers, who were forced to pay regular tariff rates, were entitled to recover from the receiver the amount of the discriminations against them; and that the fact of the payments not having been made under protest, did not, under the circumstances, shield the receiver from liability to refund the proportion thereof unlawfully de- manded by him. The case was referred to a master in chancery to ascertain and report the amount of the dis- criminations, in order that a final decree might be entered for their recoverv.

Letter of VV. P. Clough, Esq., Relating to the Decision of the U. S. Supreme Court Establish- ing the Authority of the Legislative Control OF Railroads.

7'o the Hun. J. S. Pillsbnry , Governor of Minnesota :

As counsel retained in pursuance of a special act of the legislature to represent the interests of the people of this State in the suit of The Winona & St. Peter Railroad Company agst. Blake, lately pending in the Supreme Court of the United States, I have the honor to report that that case was argued at length by the respective counsel, and submitted to the court, in October, 1875.

Subsequently, and during the -same term of the Court, several other suits, involving similar questions, arising re-

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL. 55

spectively in the States of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, were also argued and submitted. In the latter part of the month of February, 1877, after the Court had held the cases referred to under advisement for the period of nearly eighteen months, they were all decided; the judg- ment of the court below in each instance being affirmed.

By the judgments of the courts in these cases, taken together, the following propositions have been definitely established, as parts of the law of the land:

I. Whenever property or service is devoted to an en- terprise public in nature, the manner of conducting such enterprise, and the charges made against patrons for the services rendered, or for the facilities afforded in the pro- secution of such enterprise, are subject to regulation by legislative authority.

II. The business of common carrier by ordinary vehicles, and that of operating railroads in the usual way, for the carriage of persons and property, and that of storing grain and other articles in elevators and warehouses, are all enterprises public in nature; and are therefore all sub- ject to legislative regulation in respect to charges against patrons, for services rendered, and for facilities afforded, as well as in regard to the manner in which the business shall be conducted.

III. The fact that a common carrier by ordinary vehicles, or the operator of a line of railroad engaged in transporting property and persons, or a warehouseman, happens to be a corporation, does not make the business of such common carrier, operator of a railroad, or ware- houseman, any less subject to regulation by legislative authority, than it would be if the same were carried on by natural persons.

IV. That provision of the federal constitution, which confers upon Congress power to regulate commerce be-

RKVKRKNCK BOOK TO >7'. I'ML

tuccn the several States, does not prevent the Legislature of any State from regulating charges for the carriage, witliin the limits of the State, of persons or property going to or coming from other States; so long, at least, as Con- gress does not itself undertake to legislate upon that sub- ject.

The establishment of the foregoing propositions, in m\' opinion, has put beyond fair argument the power of the Legislature of this State to- regulate the charges for trans- portation imposed by any railroad corporation heretofore created, and now existing, within the State. In the cases referred to, the question did not arise, whether the charges of a railroad corporation would be outside of legislative control, if the incorporating act should expressly author- ize the corporation to charge specified rates for carriage, and the right to amend or repeal such grant were not re- served in the corporating act itself, or in the constitution of the State, or in some general statute thereof. Hence, that question remains open for future adjudication.

In view of this fact, it would seem to be politic that hereafter, in amending special acts incorporating railroad companies, heretofore passed, power should not be con- ferred to charge special rates for transportation, unless the right of amending or annulling such grant be expressly reserved in the same act.

All of which is most respectfully submitted.

Railroad Advice.

I. - Purchase through tickets previous to entering the cars.

2. - Attend to checking your baggage in person before taking your seat in the cars.

3. - Select a seat on the shady side of the car.

4. - When you leave your seat, place a parcel, coat or something belonging to you on it, which is an evidence of the seat belonging to you, or engaged.

5. - Have as near as possible the exact fare on the cars, or you are subject to be ejected from the cars. It has been decided by law that a conductor is not obliged to make change for a passenger.

6. - Conductors' checks are good only for the train for which they are used; passengers cannot lay over for an- other train without making arrangements with the con- ductor.

7. - Ladies without escort in travelling should be very particular with whom they become acquainted.

"If }'Our lips would save from slips,

Five tilings observe with care ; Of whom you speak - to whom you speak,

And how, and when, and where."

8. - If you see a lady unaccompanied do not obtrude yourself upon her notice.

9. - If she needs your services tender them as though they were due her, without unnecessary forwardness or undue impressment.

10. - Such services do not entitle you to after recogni- tion unless by permission of the lady.

II. - Ladies travelling with children should invariably

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL. 59

have a basket of eatables, a tumbler or a goblet for the children to drink from, and keep the children in their seats.

12. - Keep your head and arms inside the car window.

13. - Never talk on politics in the cars; it is usually dis- agreeable to some of your fellow-travellers.

14. - Never talk loudly while the train is in motion; it may not annoy any one, but it will injure your lungs.

15. - A gentleman should not occupy more than one seat at a time.

16. - Gentlemen should not spit tobacco juice in the cars where there are ladies, it soils their skirts and dresses.

17. - Always show your ticket, without getting into a bad humor, whenev^er the conductor asks for it. Observe this rule and it will pay.

18. - Never use profane language in a railroad car.

19. - If you cannot sleep yourself do not prevent others from doing so by whistling or loud talking.

20. - Look out for pickpockets and confidence men.

21. - Remember, that unless you pay for two seats you are entitled to but one, and every gentleman and lady will respect the rights of others, and be mindful especially of the weak, the aged and the infirm.

22. - Provide yourselves with sleeping berths before starting; you may then have a choice - the double lower berth is preferable.

23. - Always be at the depot in good time to take the train, better be an hour too early than a second too late.

24. - Often much comfort can be obtained by writing or sending telegraphs to reserve rooms at hotels, or state room of steamers.

Comparative Statement sliowiiig the Position of the States of the Union.

The following table shows the number of square miles in each State, its population in 1870, its population in 1790, its rank in population in 1870, its rank in population in 1790, and the present number of representatives in Con- gress to which it is entitled.

The table permits many interesting comparisons of the States, with each other, and of the present with the past. It shows the vast disparity between the States in extent, Texas, the largest, being more than two hundred times as large as Rhode Island; and in population, - New York, the most populous, having more than one hundred times the population of Nevada. It also shows the great and rapid increase of population through the whole country; and the rank of the States when measured by population, and the changes which have taken place in this rank in the last eighty years.

It will be seen that the population of the States was, in 1790, 3,5^42,270; there were then no territories. In 1870 the population of the States was 38,115,641, and of the Territories, 442,730, making the whole population of the United States 38,558,371; showing that the increase of the population in these eighty years was almost tenfold. When the first House of Representatives was organized, the whole number was 65, now it is 292.

The St. Paul Business College.

W. A. FADDIS, Principal.

The St. Paul Business College was established in 1865, and therefore is the oldest - as it is the largest - institution of the kind in the Northwest. The college was organized by the late H. D. Stratton, in person, as one of the insti- tutions comprising the "Bryant and Stratton chain," which has so long been a marked feature among the educational institutions of the country, and a household word with the people of the United States and Cinadas. The St. Paul Business College occupies the entire upper story of one of the finest blocks of St. Paul, in the heart of the busi- ness locality, among wholesale houses and banks, and within a square of the steamboat landing, and of all the railroad depots excepting one. These rooms were ar- ranged under the direction of Mr. Eaddis, expressly for his use, and visitors from Boston, New York and Chicago have volunteered the statement that in this respect the college is not surpassed by similar institutions in any of those cities. The rooms comprise an area of 5,000 square feet, larger than any used for similar purposes in the Northwest, well ventilated and furnished with all modern improvements, heated by steam, lighted by gas, and supplied with water from Lake Phalen; every facility

is there that will add to the comfort and convenience of 9

the student, that his stay with the college may not only be profitable to him, but healthful, cheerful and pleasant.

The college is presided over by Professor Wm. A. Faddis, an educator of over thirty years' experience.

THE PRACTICAL DEPARTMENT.

In this we find a genuine business life, as its name would indicate - business practically and thoroughly transacted. Here we find bitsincss is characterized with anything but dullness, it gives all the evidences of enjoying excessive prosperity, money circulates freely, as through the bank belonging to this department accommodations can be ob- tained, advances on consignments are made freely, com- mission sales and remittances to consignors are timely and perfectly satisfactory. Young men do a most thorough business, and they will soon add strength and credit to the business interests of our own and other cities of the Northwest. All classes of commercial transactions are carried on here, a clear insight gained of the principles underlying these transactions in the outside world.

You not only know what is knowable here, but the most important is to gain the tact to use this knowledge, and this tact can only be secured by studying the transactions of men practically. This pleasant routine inspires confi- dence and qualifies for all contingencies.

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL. 67

If anyone is skeptical regarding the thoroughness and practical character of the business carried on in this col- lege he may, by a few minutes stay in this institution, have that trouble effectually removed and have his judgment set at rights as to the merits of this institution in turning out thorough business men.

This department is a great honor and credit to this very popular institution, and is silencing the objections that have often been raised as to the ability of students to take charge of a large set of books in actual business .transactions, as these come in, in the natural way here, and is reaching a point of perfection in business education seldom attained, and makes this college ever "the old reliable.''

Received the Higrliest Award, a Silver 9fedal, from tlie United States Exhibition, lield at New York in 1877.

Every picture at the Uenteniiial from Europe produced hy this process capable of an endless variet\' of styles, from the smallest photographs tea life siz.e portrait, from the most charming window transparency to a pic- ture on a round globe or a china cup. No more fading, yellow pictures, the new carbon being absolutely imperishable. No more excuses in de- livering pictures, on account of " bad weather," as these pictures arc pro- duced with greater facility in rainy or damp weather than sunshine. The old process is rapidly going out of date, already superceded in Europe, and rapidly being secured by the most enterprising artists.

The most beautiful, finished picture ever yet produced, as much supe- rior to everytliing produced up to date, as the Rembrandt was superior to the old fashioned photograph. Mr. W. H. Illingworth, the enterprising photographer and artist of St. Paul, is the sole owner of this valuable pro- cess, in this city, and as this process is patented for a term of seventeen years, and as Mr. Illingworth has the sole right for St. Paul, they can be produced at no other gallery.

Topography, Soil, Climate, «Sz;c.

The agricultural characteristics of the State are so grand that space must be taken to state them somewhat, not for the enlightenment of those already informed, but for the purpose of supplying information to those outside of the State.

In the first place, it may be affirmed that whatever Min- nesota is to-day she owes solely to her inherent merits of soil, climate and production, developed by the energy, in- dustry and perseverance of her people. If she has won for herself an enviable position as one of the leading agricultural States of the Union, it has not been attained without some wear and tear of toil and struggle.

She had no propagandist sympathy to work for her and swell her numbers, like Kansas, and no phantom lures of gold or silver to blazon forth to the world, as was the case with California. She has had nothing to rely upon but what God has given her, in location, soil, timber, water- power, and crystaline, pure sky. The adventitious aids that have favored other States that started abreast with her, have never been accorded; even her rightful share of immigration has often, from one cause or another, been diverted away from her. The leading journal of the country in matters of this kind, has always, until recently, been against her. With supreme indifference to isother- mal lines, it could never see or believe in a latitude north 11

82 REFEliKNCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL.

of New York City, though Paris and London are eight or nine degrees farther north. That the emigration of the States between latitude 38*' and 42^ should move west- ward on a somewhat similar line was a result to be ex- pected.

Neither is it surprising that prejudice should exist in these States against a more northern one. But the people of New York and New England should spontaneously come to us, for they are the natural pioneers for the North- west. ,

In moving to a new country for the purpose of making a home, the chief things to be sought for and considered are its advantages of location, the quality of its soil, its climate, and especially its spring and summer heat and rain-fall, and lastly, its salubrity or healthfulness, without which all the others would be but nugatory. Unless Minnesota in each and every one of these respects fails to show herself to be the peer of any country now open with new land to settle, then, and not till then, can her rightful claims be disputed or ignored.

First then, as to

LOCALITY.

The central position which Minnesota occupies on the American Continent was a theme much dwelt upon in for- mer times, though the radii extending to the east, south, west and northwest, are those that chiefly gave it signifi- cance. If this was a matter of consequence twenty years ago, how much more important is it now, with all the hopes and promises of that day in the process of realiza- tion. With numerous railroads radiating in all directions through the State, reaching out to Lake Superior on the north, the Gulf of Mexico on the south, and to both the great oceans east and west of the continent, our inter- oceanic position has a real practical significance.

Every year, in fact, demonstrates the ever growing im-

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL. 83

portance of this centrality, so strongly emphasized by J. A. Wheelock in the first report of the statistics of the State published seventeen years ago.

When the Northern Pacific Railroad shall have reached its western terminus, the position of . Minnesota may be comparably that of the State of New York after the com- pletion of the Erie Canal. Five hundred and fifty miles of this road, that is to say from Duluth, Lake Superior, to Bismarck, on the Missouri, has been finished, and the cars running regularly thereon for now more than two years. One hundred and twenty-five miles of the portion west of the Rocky Mountains, commencing on the Colum- bia river at Kalama, are completed, When these ap- proaching lines meet, a new era will be inaugLirated in the development of this northwestern country, of which Min- nesota is the most important part.

As this route is between 400 and 500 miles (or 24 hours trav^el) shorter than any other, as it has lower grades and passes through a country nearly all the way susceptible to settlement and way trade, and not through a great desert, a large portion of the hundreds of millions of trans-conti- nental trade already existing, and yet to be developed, must inevitably be ours.

The first great requisite in any business undertaking is to have a good stand, and this Minnesota has by right of royalty from the hand of Nature. A glance at the map shows it. It is not imolied that we shall have to wait for

L

this single item of our present and future prosperity. Our future is secure without it. It only indicates the commanding position we will occupy at the heiid of the Mississippi valley, and in this centre of the northern belt of civilization in America, when it shall extend across the continent.

. Another glance at the map will show that Minnesota differs from some other western States in being

84 REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL.

A REMARKABLY WELL WATERED COUNTRY.

She is not only the birthplace of the Father of Waters, but of four other very considerable rivers which traverse or form her boundaries, namely, the St. Louis, emptying into Lake Superior; the Red River of the North, into Lake Winnipeg, and the Minnesota and St. Croix into the Mississippi. These rivers afford about 1,200 miles of nav- igable water communication, which, together with over 2,000 miles of completed railroads, brings a market for products close to the door of every farmer and merchant.

Besides this, it is dotted all over with several thousand lakes whose waters seem brighter, fresher and purer than the running streams. From this characteristic, the original inhabitants of this country were called the "People of the Lakes;" Lieutenant Maury years ago pronounced it the best watered State in the Union.

RAINFALL.

It is apparent that such a watered country could not exist without a corresponding rainfall. According to the observations made at Fort Snelling for a period of 40 years, the annual mean has been 26.' 6 inches. One half of this falls during the summer months, which is about the same amount as that deposited in the Northern and East- ern States, during that season of the year, though the fall in winter is not so great as that on the atlantic coast by some 10 inches. One half of the spring rain falls in the month of May, the very time when it is most needed for vegetation, which it pushes forward with astonishing ra- pidity.

CLIMATE.

The climate is, on the whole, agreeable to health and longevity. The pleasantcst months are June and October, the pleasantcst season, autumn, and next to that, winter.

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL. 85

It would be difficult to conceive of more delightful winter weather than we have in Minnesota.

There is nothing in Minnesota cold to deter the immi- grant, if other circumstances are satisfactory. Long ex- perience proves that there is no need of an ordinarily healthy person taking cold in winter, so dry is the air at that season, except by accident or want of proper care.

There has been a great deal of nonsense talked and printed, partly from ignorance and partly for a purpose, about Minnesota winters. It is true that one of the chief and most striking characteristics of our climatology is the wide difference between our summer and winter temperature. But what occasion is there for special wonderment in this? Everybody who knows anything of the subject knows that extremes of temperature are the leading features of the climate of the greater part of all North America east of the Rocky Mountains. While'this may be attended with certain disadvantages in some respects, there are just as undoubted counterbalancing advantages, and it is simply peurile to demand two or more opposite and incompatible blessings at one and the same time.

The important thing to know and consider in reference to this matter, is the well established fact which clears up the whole mystery of the climate of the northwest, via, the remarkable deflection of the isothermal summer mean of /o*' northward after it passes the southern shore of Lake Michigan. This could not be without the agency of some permanent acting cause. We know that it passes diagonally through our State to Pembina, and the valley of the Saskatchawan river, and beyond, and that as far as it goes it carries the spring and summer rain-fall needed for successful cultivation with it; that this northwestern country in nowise resembles the arid interior plateaus or basin regions of this or any other continent. The diminu- tion of the mass of the Rocky Mountains, as they slope off at their northern extremity, permits the warm breezes of the Pacific Ocean to spread over this country, and thus in

86 REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL.

a measure, assimilates its climate to that of western Europe. Hundreds of millions of square miles of it, much of it peculiarly adapted to the growth of wheat, remain undeveloped.

The healthfulness of Minnesota is one of its stroiiq-est points, paving been, for a long time, a sanitory resort for persons threatened with pulmonary complaints, it has disappointed no reasonable expectation. It is equally favor- able for those afflicted with liver diseases. Thus for the two great organs in the tripod of life, the liver and lungs, that is for two-thirds of life, Minnesota offers the most favorable conditions. She is more exempt from paludial fevers than any new State settled in the last half century. The fear- ful cost of human life it has required to subdue the soil in the States along the line of lat. 40*^ has never been esti- mated. With a moist decaying vegetation, and a certain intensity and duration of summer and autumn heat, and sickness of that kind is certain to come, no matter what they may j-<rj/ about having "no sickness here." It always exists when the requisite conditions are present. Freed from the depressing influence of this decimating foe, the average Minnesotian eats with a craving appetite, sleeps well, moves with a quick step and elastic spirits, and fights his life battle sturdily and hopefully to the issue.

SOIL.

The soil of the arable part of the State is generally of the best quality, rich in lime and organic matter, and par- ticularh' well adapted to growth of wheat, over 40,000,000 bushels of which cereal were produced in 1877. Although its fertility has never been disputed, these authentic fig- ures prove it beyond question. Good wheat lands in a favorable season will produce from 25 to 30 bushels to ihc acre. A great portion of the State is equally adapted to stock raising, and many farmers think it would be more profitable.

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST, PA UL, 87

AREA AND ALTITUDES.

The State contains 83,153 square miles, and is therefore one of the largest in the Union, The northern and east- ern portions are scarcely at all occupied as yet, the north- eastern part being a mining district, and the sources of the Mississippi and St. Croix being an exclusively lumbering region. A high range of hills traverses that part of the State, called the Hauteurs des Terres, and send off to the north, south, east and west the infant rills of the great rivers mentioned, and the numberless streams that empty into the chain of lakes from Lake of the Woods to Lake Superior, whose waters finally pass to the ocean through the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Hudson's Bay.

The general character of the country as a whole may be described as a high rolling prairie, interspersed with lakes and frequent woodland openings, with a large belt of hard timber running from south to north through the central part of it.

It is the water shed of a large part of North America, but notwithstanding this its altitudes are comparatively low. The altitude of the city of St. Paul, above the sea, is 675 feet; Stillwater, on the St. Croix, 655; St. Anthony Falls, 786; Lake Itasca, the source of the Mississippi, and about 2,500 miles from its mouth by river course, only 1,532 feet. On the Minnesota river the altitude of the places named are: Belle Plaine, 781 feet; Mankato, 849 feet. In the southwestern part of the State: Windom, in Cottonwood County, is 1,326 feet; Worthington, in Nobles County, 1,563. This region is about as high as the sources of the Mississippi river.

The highest point on the St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, is near Willmar, Kandiyohi County, 1,255 feet. Morris, Stevens County, 161 miles west of St. Paul, 1,142 feet. Breckenridge, on the Red River, is 949 feet. Thus it will be seen that, though it is the water shed of the continent, and a far inland region, its altitude is not great, which

88 REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PAUL.

renders it favorable for summer warmth and the uses of agriculture.

These moderate altitudes are continuous toward the northwest to the base of the Rocky Mountains. Fort Union, at the mouth of Yellowstone, is about 2,000 feet, and Fort Benton, near the head of the Missouri, only 2,600 feet above the level of the sea. This station, by the way, is one of the warmest where observations are taken. Though in latitude 47 deg. 49 min., it has a mean annual temperature of 48*^ Fahrenheit - about the same as that of Albany, New York, and one degree warmer than Chicago.

In addition to what may be considered the more sub- stantial advantages of soil and climate, Minnesota offers

- -

to the eye of the tourist an unending succession and variety of river, lake and landscape scenqry. ^he Missis- sippi in summer, with its green islands, castellated bluffs and Lake Pepin expansion, is not surpassed by the Rhine in picturesqpe beauty or interest aside from its legendary or historical associations. The grand sweep of the river at St. Paul, the great falls of St. Anthony, the Dalles of the St. Croix and the St. Louis rivers, the valleys of the Minnesota and the Red River of the North, the innumer- able lakes and park-like groves and prairip uplands scat- tered all over its surface, have a sufficiency of beauty and grandeur to satisfy the most exacting demands.

The Railroad Companies.

Nearly all of them have large bodies of very desirable land along the line of their roads which they generally offer on reasonable and easy terms, transporting purchas- ers with their families free of charge, (that is some of them,) besides giving reasonable accommodation and assist- ance to enable the new settler to make a start.

To restivte then. It may confidently be asserted that

REFERENCE BOOK TO ST. PA UL. 89

Minnesota has a good soil, superimposed upon a retentive subsoil with sand and clayey components, admirably adapted to its climate, and its amount of spring and sum- mer heat and rain fall. It has an especially salubrious climate, being almost entirely free from malignant, inter- mittent and retnittent fevers, and enjoys marked immunity from pulmonic diseases. It has a mean summer tempera- ture of 70 deg. , that is to say, the same as Chicago, North- ern Indiana and Ohio, Pittsburg, Northern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York City. It is more exempt than any of these localities from spring and autumn trosti. It produces all the grains and grasses of the middle states, not excepting the semi-tropical annual vines, such as the pumpkin, the squash, the melon aud the cucumber, averaging equally well with any of them. It abounds in rivers, lakes and running streams, and the largest inland sea on the globe bounds its northeastern border, waiting to be freighted with the commerce from beyond the Pacific, and of the now rapidly developing Northwest. Its fall of rain is in the main timely and sufficient. Its climate is not only healthy and invigorating, but agreeable and pleasant. Even in the lowest temperature of winter the air is gener- ally so still and dry that the inhabitant is scarcely con- scious of its degree.

The state has all the public buildings and eleemosynary institutions of the older States; a common school system in complete running order, with a State fund of nearly $3,000,000, and constantly increasing. It has also about three million of cultivated lands, with many millions more of virgin prairie waiting the plow; with the immense water power and manufactories at the Falls of St. Anthony, and many others through the State. Finally, she has now be- come, both as to quantity and quality, the leading wheat producing State in the Union, with an active and thriving population of over six hundred 'and fifty thousand souls.
