The following new enterprises have
within the year been added to the city.
A mandatory of dynamos and cleo
trical apparatus, capital 100000, al
ready in full operation; mandatory
of, clothing, capital 100000, nearly
ready to open; stove foundry, capital
$4,000, which has been located and
will be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible.
Among the varied and growing indus
tries of Minnesota, the product of the
cigar factories is one of prominence and
value to the state. The cigar industry
has made rapid stride the past year.
While Minnesota does not claim to be a
cigar-making state, yet when the out
put of the many factories of the state
are grouped together 1t Is found to be
an amount of magnitude, requiring a
large capital to conduct it, and affords
employment to large number of peo-
pie. The cigar factories use tobacco
leaf from all the tobacco producing
countries. The largest amount of leaf
grown in this country comes from Con-
necticut, Wisconsin and PeDnsy lvania.
Havana and Spanish leaf is used in
large quantities by the larger factories
which make the finer grades of cigars.
1t is somewhat surprising to find the ex-
cellent quality which are produced by
some of the factories of this state.
The vitality displayed by the villages
surrounding st. Paul is a good omen
for the general prosperity of the whole
community. Take North St. Paul, for

pOration. under the auspices of the
Luger Furniture company. has been
organized, the object of which is the
manufacture of tables. The company
expects to get down to business by
June l, and will employ fifty men. The
Enterprise Manufacturing company is
putting in foundation for a two-story
addition to its establishment. which is
necessitated by its increased business.
The Earhuff Organ company is discuss
ing plans for a five-story addition
to provide for increased bus mess.
Numerous improvements are being
made by the village in the park
around the lake shore. A hand
some pavilion will be erected, am
pie provision being made for excursion
parties going out on the motor line. A
dozen new cottages were also COM
menced during the week.
The Lowry Arcade block change d
owners yesterday, though Mr.. Lowry
does not cease to be interested in it.
The arcade and property is now owned
by the Arcade Investment company.
The transfer recorded in the office of
the register of deeds gave the value of
the property at S450,000.
ent condition of the market continues
among real estate men. The Midway
districts still continue to be the leading
section of the city. Prices are firm. and
in some sections considerable advance
IN values is noted. Said one dealer:
"All we need now to have first-class
movement in well-located property is
that our own citizens show little more
interest In real estate. To-day there is
no city that can show as many advan-
tageS as st. Paul, and at the same time
offer improved and unimproved proper
ty at as low prices as ST. Paul"
Another gentleman remarked: "The
farming lands throughout the western
and northern part of the state and in
DaHOta'S Red river valley districts are
in good demand; many sales are being
are taking up their homes in our state
and the territory directly tributary to
st. Paul. Why, just think of it. only
about One-Seventh of the cultivable
land of the state is under the pillow.
Minnesota has 20,O00,OOO acres of fine
Awning Ian ds, and only one-seventh
of the same was in crop last year. The
continued settlement and development
OF this vast territory will result in the
growth here of one of the largest of
American cities west of the state of
New York. When Minnesota has the
same number of people per acre that
OHIO or Indiana has, the increase will
warrant population IN st. Paul of
100000 people. The increase of popula-
ton in Minnesota during the past ten
years. compared with several represent
atlye states in the Union, will give one

these figures and the belief that the
next ten years and near future will
show equally large gains, convince our
thinking citizens that st. Paul has a
great future before it, and hence the
owner OF real property must benefit
from the development that is constantly
going forward. The advance of the

great city that will then be located here
at the head of navigation on the great

as to its worth. its beauty, its healthful-
