Minneapolis and St. Paul are together widely and generally known as the Twin Cities, and although two sepa- rate municipalities, they have become famous as one center of population, with everything in common except po- litical boundaries With an aggregate population of 615,093, this community now ranks as eighth in size and im- portance among the trade centers of the United States, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis and Boston being the only cities on the North American continent that exceed the Twin Cities in population, trade and wealth.
Within this favored and prosperous area are many of the largest and best institutions in the nation and many highly interesting sights for tourists. The altitude is about 800 ft. The clear lakes and bright blue sky are the first evidences of a pure, healtful atmos- phere and an invigorating climate that is destined to create the greatest and most vigorous race of men the world has ever known. The Twin Cities are on the highway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, being 1,300 miles from the eastern seaboard and, 1,800 miles from the western coast, and must of necessity soon take third place among the great trade centers of this progressive nation.
In 1838, the Indian title to this local- ity was extinguished and the first set- tlement was made at the Falls of St. Anthony. The attraction was the im- mense - water power afforded by the falls and the abundance and excellence of the pine in the forests of the coun- try along the Upper Mississippi and its confluents. This is now said to have been the origin of Minneapolis, but it was in truth the beginning of St. An- thony, for the original Minneapolis was confined to the west side of the river and its settlement did not begin until 1850.
Two years later the little village of Avon was platted, the name being sub- sequently changed to Minneapolis. Such was the beginning of what has in the short space of 70 years grown to be one of the great cities of America.
It is not alone of her population that Minneapolis has occasion to be proud. Her boast should be of the conditions which made it possible for her to gain this multitude in the brief space of time since the city was founded; the especial facility which developed the struggling frontier settlement to a mighty metropolis is the power fur-

nished by St. Anthony Falls. This would have been sufficient to draw population and capital. Added to this. however, was the heavily timbered pine region near the upper river, and con- venient to float the logs down to the mills. Still another attraction was the nearness to one of the greatest wheat- growing regions in the world. This could also be brought to Minneapolis mills with facility and ground into the best quality of flour.
These gave Minneapolis its start, and having once become famous for its lumber and flour, and being withal sit- uated in the midst of a country emi- nently suitable for general agriculture, and with various materials for manu- facturing within easy reach, it is not strange that it grew speedily into prominence. Today the city not only enjoys all the advantages which made it what it has become, but it has added to these and is still adding to them.
In the way of public improvements Minneapolis is one of the most pro- pressive cities in the country. Several million dollars have been spent on the park system. The beautiful Lakes of Harriet, Calhoun, Lake of the Isles and some others have been connected, and a boulevard system has been placed around them, extending hundreds of miles, making the most wonderful driveways in the world. There are several interurban lines, four to. St. Paul, one to Northfield, and one to Anoka.
Minneapolis is often spoken of as the City of Churches-on account of the large number of places of worship within its borders.
There are a score of beautiful parks: also a well-designed boulevard system. The public library occupies its own magnificent building. Minneapolis is rich in handsome buildings, the most prominent of which are the University buildings, the finest city and county building in America, occupying a whole block, being about 600 feet square. There are many large and elegant pub- lic buildings equal to those of the largest cities. The Athletic club is one of the finest and is a great asset to the social and civic factors of the city.
Minneapolis is noted for its wonder- ful hotel accommodations.
A great commodious union railway station is a source of pleasure and sat- isfaction to the traveling public.
