OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS
Believes In Hennepin Avenue.

To the Editor of The Journal:
When reading your article In reference
to the purchase of the N1collet House
block, an article read about two years
back to my mind. This article said,
among other things that Hennepin avenue
would never be more than it was at the
present time, and that business would
naturally go towards First avenue s. I
did not agree with the writer at the time,
and after reading Mr.. Zonne's article
about business values on lower Hennepin
and washington and Nicollet avenues,
thought perhaps You would print my views
Of business opportunities in future values
of Minneapolis realty on Hennepin avenue.
If any one will look up the owners of
Hennepin avenue property from Seventh
street to the river, he will find that the
present owners have held the property for
the past twenty-five or thirty years and
are not really in a position to put in the
improvements that this beautiful street
warrants. Hennepin avenue always was
and always will be the best business street
in Minneapolis. It is wide, almost level,
and has the loop by which all the people
of Minneapolis or people coming into the
city will be landed at the doors of the
commercial houses that are bound to be
located on this avenue before the next ten
years. The population of Minneapolis will
about double In the next twenty years, or
will be about 500, 600. The business Oppor-
tunities will increase in proportion, and
the present business houses will increase,
end will have to have more room and bet
ter accommodations and more up to- date
stores and larger buildings. The owners
Of the present large enterprises will nee
essarily either have to own their build
ings and property or rent Of some one
who will build for them. If Hennepin
avenue had been built up fifteen years ago
as Nicollet avenue was, these buildings to-
day would have been out of date and not
what the business houses require, but
still they were too good to be torn down.
AS 1t is, Hennepin avenue has plenty of
good property that can be purchased by
these business houses and bright young
business men like Mr. Zonne, and upon it
| new and desirable business blocks can be
erected to suit the tenants and business
| men, and will be easily rented at a fair
| rental. 5.-.
I have thought for years that business
| houses that sell at a close margin cannot
afford to pay the high rentals Of Nicollet
| avenue stores and stay In business for any
| length of time. If you will look UP the
| firms that are doing business on Nicollet
avenue to-day, you will notice very few
| that were there fifteen years ago. What
| is the use of doing $40 900 worth Of bust
ness, with all it's work and worry, to make
| 81, 600, if the same amount can be made by
doing $4,000? 1t keeps lots of firms guess
| ing to pay the Nicollet avenue rentals.

HEAVY FALL BUSINESS
Bradstreet's Notes a General In.
crease in Demand in
All Lines.

New York, Sept 13.-Bradstreet's to-day says:
Taken whole, fall trade Is expanding in
volume because western and northwestern mar
kets reported undated activity, eastern jobbtng
is as active as heretofore, and tue south reports
doing at nearly all centers.
Frost held off until the close Of the week,
when was worked up. Any deterioration
now, however, can only be as 10 quality, be-
cause the crop seems secure as 20 quantity In
dustry is active and excepting the eastern shoe
manufacturing trade, the hard coal region and
iron furnace work, the latter because of the
coke shortage, present output equal and in most
cases exceed records.
Despite the fact that the new crops are only
moving in small volume AMI the usual activity
in anthracite coal is absent, the pinch Of the
shortage Is steadily growing.
One fact brought out in tue reports as to ac-
tivity in dry goods, clothing, shoes, millinery
and groceries Is the very general demand for
higher class of goods which macifests itself.
Retail trade the country over also seeu4s Sotte.,
stimulated partly by cooler weather. From
number of cities complaints come from dis
ders.
The corn crop made satisfactory progress
toward maturity until Friday when general frost
was reported, without, however, much effect on
prices. Altogether government and private adj
vices as TO crops OF creals fruits and tobac-
Another notable feature H. the 'el1 general
strength exhibited by prices. The smallest stock
of wheat supplies since 1898 is indicated both
here and abroad. 1t has been weather market
for corn, reports Of damage yet to come from
frosts inducing fractional gain on the week.
Export business In wheat was large early In
the week, and the tendency Of this branch Of
business to expand at slight concessions is not
able.
Cotton goods frmer, much because Of
the steady insistent demand as because Of the
strength of the material, which closed lie
@1sc below last week. The situation in wool
and wooden goods is very favorable to sellers.
The strength in hides is the keynote to the
leather and shoemakers. Building material Is
active and lumber leads in aggressive strength.
A feature in keeping with the advancing season
is the higher range Of farm produce, eggs are
higher and butter Is advancing on large consum-
ton and reported manipulation by cold storage
interests.
The shortage of fuel still exasperates the iron
trade, which the foreign flood of iron
and steel growing steadily. The July import is
probably not far from 100000 tons. The use OF
large numbers of ears to carry soft coal to the
anthracite regions aggravates the shortage of
coke in the Pittsburg district. But the same
complaints from Chicago and st. Louis.
Rails and structural material are still the promi
nent features. Western mills, however, only
accept rail orders for delivery in the last quar-
ter of 1908.
Pittsburg reports 10000 to $4,000 tons OF
foreign Bessemer pig torn coming In monthly tt
that. district. German billets and foundry iror
also coming in in increasing supply.

DISHONEST HOTEL employees
One Of the Schemes Used by Them In
;"knocklng Down" Part OF Their
EnopIovareS kAonax,

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Among hotel employees sex does not ap-
pear to make any difference so far as hon
esty is concerned. Certain young women
who act as checkers in hotels work with
certain walters. Whenever one Of the
girls obtains a position the men soon fol-
low her and the hote1 proprietor is victim
lied accordingly. X The waiter who is in
league with the checker, makes small
private mark in the check with which he
desires to cheat. She sees it and instead
of stamping the prices against the articles
ordered she puts her fingers over the fig
ures on the. die athat a slight, blotch is
all that is recorded In the place for fig
ures. The waiter does the rest. She
keeps her account against her confeder-
ates and they settle up later 4on the out
side. One of thesea smart young women
was detected recently in a New York city
hotel and confessed that she and four of
the walters employed there had Travelled
all lover the country .victimizing hotel pro-
prietors. Observations Of a wellknown
hotel man show that Notwithstanding all
legends to the contrary, colored walters
are more. honest than white ones. The
Americans are the most nervy. The
Swiss, German and French are most cap
able of working combinations to defraud
the guest and host alike. : - -

WATER FOR ARID LANDS
Much Preparation Required to Garry
the Irrigation /. Law Into
Effect.

Fro,,. The Journal Haroa,., Isoo.a. xS. poss
building, WushtH0ton,
Washinton, Sept 13.-The reclamation
Of arid lands in the west, under the re-
cent legislation, one Of the most important
measures passed by the last congress,
involves an amount of preparation before
actual reclamation can be undertaken,
which is not generally understood. The
success of irrigation depends on the con-
slant supply of water, and it Is therefore
of tho greatest Importance that the avail
abb. water resources. which are to be
drawn upon should be carefully studied.
For example, one Of the essential facts to
be first ascertained is the amount of flow
which may be expected at various stages
of the streams. Z This factor is of the
greatest Importance, for it obviously sets
a positive limit. to the acreage which can
be placed under cultivation. 1t is easy
also to, understand how closely the low
water stages must be scrutinized, for the
reason that they usually occur in the
midst Of the crop growing season, when an
abundant and constant supply Of water is
most needed. - Sts.-:s&
Another important fact to be carefully
ascertained is the possibility Of increas-
irg the amount at low stages by impound-
ing the spring and freshet waters or por-
tons cf them, in great storage reservoirs,
md the location and cost Of such res
ervoirs, some of which may be among the
lctA sCSI ot1 uCIAA % VI I11e1i KIM Ill the
COZ ntry.e. S- IF
If it were necessary to gather this in
formation afresh for the uses Of the new
reclamation law. 1t would be some time
Eefore it would be possible to commence
the construction Of actual irrigation works
for it is not simple matter to secure the
necessary data regarding the discharge
and regimen Of the streams which must
furnish the supply It requires series OF
observations and measurements, made by
experienced engineers, extending over
months and years; and examinations OF
| watersheds, to determine the location oil
storage reservoirs and the estimation OF
their cost, must be carefully, and deliber-
ately made Fortunately much Of this
work has been already accomplished by
| the division of photography of the United
| States geological survey. For ten years OF
more this organization has been engaged
| In a comprehensive study Of the country's
water resources, with special reference ir
| the western states to the use of the water
| supply for irrigation purposes, and as the
| result of these years Of investigation the
| United States geological survey, int
whose hands has been placed the engi.
neering and construction work of the
reclamation law, has been able to imme
| diately commence plans for construction
! saving years of time and fastening the
day when the reclamation Of now useless
lands will be accomplished.
