What the Willard Enterprise

The air is surcharged with rumOrs,
and with every one the name of Henry
Willard is in one way or another con-
nected. They all arise out of Wizards
announcement that he was about TO
utilize Meeker dam for the purpose of
supplying light and power TO the Twin
Cities. The latest rumor is that Willard
is at the head of company just being
formed in New York. the purpose of
which is to erect a mammoth electrical
mandatory west of Merriam Park.
1t is to be a huge industrial
undertaking for the manufacture
of electrical street car motors, cleo
trical motors for running printing
presses, sewing machines, elevators,
and the supply of every known cleo
trical appliance and equipment. There
are many reasons why tile rumOr of the
establishment of immense electrical
works at this point should be founded
on fact. The creation OF such works
is only the outcome of Wizards Meeker

New YORK, March 1.-THE manufact-
urerS of rubber boots and shoes have
adjourned their meeting until Wednes-
day next. when they will meet at Hotel
Vendome. in Boston. At a recent
meeting 1t was decided to advance
prices of rubber boots and shoes l0 per
cent, but an advance of Is per cent is
now contemplated, owing to later news
advising further shortage in the rub
Der crop and further rise in prices led
by a speculative movement in Europe.
One of the largest shoe manufacturers
has just bought all the rubber obtain
able in this market, aggregating nearly
1000, 600 pounds. The absence of much
snow this winter has caused
manufacturers to run their factories
on short time and to buy sparingly Of
rubber. Hence, the unexpected news
of the balance of the crop being cut
short through the epidemic on the in
terror waters of the Amazon causes
anxiety oil the part Of those importers
who have sold short. and consumers
who are bare of supply. Some Of the
manufacturers think that Para rubber
will advance to 81 per pound before mid
summer. The rubber in the world to-
day is but one months supply, while at
this time last year there was four
months supply in sight.
