To Occupy and Enlarge Old Har-
vester Company's Plant
FOR MANUFACTURING PURPOSES
Significance of Recently Announced
Activity in Real Estate in
That Vicinity.

The full significance OF the activity in
property in the vicinity of the old har-
Vester works has come to light in the
announcement that new and important
manufacturing establishment Is to occupy
and enlarge the Minneapolis Harvester
company's old plant. 1t has been known
for some time that j. L. Record and o. p.
Briggs were acquiring property in the vi
entity and now the details Of their plans
are made public.
The new company is a combination of
the Minnesota Malleable Iron company
and the Twin City Iron Works, with J. T..
Record. of the Barnett & Record COM
pany, as president and general manager.
O. P. Briggs of the Twin City Iron Works
will have charge of the engine and ma
chine department The company will
manufacture stationary engines and gen
eral machinery. A foundry will be run
tectural iron work will be done.
L. S. and G. M. Gillette have sold the
plant to the unnamed new company for
$4,000, an 1000 pounds of steel for the
construction of buildings has already
been purchased in the east by Mr..
Record.
Seven buildings with total floor space
Of 10000 square feet are now standing on
the tract, This is insufficient for the work
ing. The standing structures will be
used as pattern shop, foundry and store
houses.
With the business already in hand and
the immense amount of structural and
machine work required by the Barnett
& Record company in the building and
equipping Of elevators. The new industry
promises to be a mighty one for the
good of the city especially for South
Minneapolis.
The corporation will have a paid up
capital Of $3.50, 900 with a limit of 100000.
The corporate existence begins April Is.
The Minneapolis Harvester works was
established by Clinton Morrison in the
eighties. Twelve years ago it was sold
to Walter A. Wood and later to the
Gillettes. The Deering company has a
lease on two buildings expiring Jan. 1,
1904
Real estae men "on the inside have
been picking up property in the neigh
borhood for several weeks. Options have
been asked on several tracts in the neigh
borhood in anticipation of the activity
to follow this new combination.

A MODEL IMPROVEMENT ASSN
The Portland Avenue Organization a Good Pat.
tern for Others to Be Formed This Season.

Street improvement and adornment was
the subject discussed at the eighteenth
annual meteing of the Portland Avenue
Improvement association held last night
and decision was finally reached to con-
tlnue the line of work which has resulted
successfully in the past, without attempt
ing any innovations. A proposition again
to plant flower beds on the bouleyards. a
plan that was tried about ten years ago,
was discussed, but no action was taken
and the beds will not be planted While
they added not a little to the beauty of
the avenue, stray dogs made SO much
trouble that property owners decided the
flowers were not worth the labor involved
in keeping them in good condition.
Treasurer George w. Wakefield reported
that $91S had been spent In caring for the
avenue last year, and that there was still
a good sized balance in the treasury. The
association then decided to levy the same
assessment this year that obtained last,
8 cents front foot on improved and 8
cents on unimproved property
Officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Thomas Downs; vice president, DR..
J. H. Stuart; secretary and treasurer,
George w. Wakefield; directors, William
B. futile, John McGregor and H. P. CAL
laher. Dr.. Stuart succeeded E. B. Nichols
as vice president, and John McGregor and
H. P. Gallaher took the places of S. H.
fowler and T. A. Jameson on the board
of directors. The other officials were re-
elected.
What the Association Has Done.
The association was Incorporated in
1884, ]. G. Whitney, Judson N. Cross and
Thomas Saeger appearing among the in
corporators. Frank H. Carleton, who is
still. member, and who has served as
president, drew up the articles of incor-
porat1on and was largely instrumental in
forming the organization. F. won Schle-
gel was the first president. From the very
first the association was successful. Every
property owner on the avenue between
Grant and Lake streets became member,
and losses in membership have been oc-
casioned only by the removal of the mem
Der to some other part of the city or by
death.
. Shortly after organization the associa-

ton obtained from the city a uniform
curbing and gutter over the entire length
OF the avenue. The street was narrowed
somewhat and the boulevard strips made
the widest in the city. Then plan was
adopted which has been retained ever
since. A man was employed to keep the
boulevards in good condition and in mode.
Cooperating with the street commissions
ers of the two wards in which the ave-
nue. lies. the fifth and eighth, the assoc
citation set itself to work to keep the
roadway free from debris. The next step
was to hire sprinkling done. BY attend
Ing to this matter Itself the association
was enabled to see that the tsreet was
sprinkled when it needed it,, irrespective
OF the season. Most Of the streets Of the
city are sprinkled only between May and
Nov. 1, but occasionally this proves in
sufficient if Minneapolis has either an
unusually late fall or an early spring.
Some spr1nkling has been done on Port
land avenue already this year, while
many other residential streets have been
allowed to remain dusty.
Trees Are Cared For.
With the aid of the park board the as
ISOLATION also looks after the trees
planted on the bouleyards. These trees
have been trimmed by Superintendent
Berry of the park: board, and where neces-
sary new trees have been set out. Co.
operating with the street commissioners,
the association has been able to see that
the surface of the avenue has been prop
erly grayeled and cared for, and members
say that the commissioners have done
valiant service in this regard.
Wherever there is "a vacant lot on the
avenue it is kept in clearly condition by
the nefghbors. There has been no trouble
from dumping. On the entire avenue there
is but one apartment house. Portland
avenue is an avenue of individual homes,
and the association is doing its utmost
to- see that 1t shall continue so. No
trouble has been experienced with bill
boards, which have proved decided nui-
sance in various other districts Of the
city.
In order to pay for this work the as
ISOLATION 1evies an annual assessment on
property owners, which is always met and
paid without grumbling.

LEADS IN IMMIGRATION
No Western State Received Nor
Than Minnesota in 1901.

Minnesota God seventh in the number
of foreign settlers received through the
port Of New York during 1901. The states
receiving more than Minnesota, with the
exception Of one, lie in the Atlantic sea-
board territory. ..ra.,.
During 1900 the state received from i'm
migration through New York 1856 set
tiers. Last year the number was $685.
Other states in adjacent territory OBJ
tanned no Increase whatever, and in all
Of them the total number of new sett lers
was but fraction of what Minnesota re-
ceived.
North Dakota obtained 1885 Of the I'M
migrants, a decided falling off. South
Dakota received 2,103; Montana, LIS;
Washington, 1858; Oregon, 52S.
The total immigration for the year
amounted to 412, 416 persons, against ST.
500 for he previous year, and increase Of
3O,717. The immigrants were of more
than thirty nationalities, those Of south
ern Europe predominating. This Is taken
as the cause for the heavier settlement
in the seaboard states. New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, ), Connecticut, Penn
sylvania and Illinois were the only states
leading Minnesota.
