her admiration, but Whine he really en-
joys her company at times on the ten

1t on fishing trip, he looks on petit
coats as decidedly out of place when
he starts out for the prairie or the

that within few weeks the Chamber OF

to manufacturers, and in other cases
place lands at their disposal at a merely
nominal rental for longtime leases.
The reports made by the various MEM

large holders of real estate in the city
are just beginning to realize that it will
be an advantage to them personally to
either sell part of their holdings at a
low figure or give a part to prospective
manufacturers, in order to induce them
to locate their works here.
