troit in street railway service let US be
thankful we are so far ahead of Chicago.
In vain I have looked for a business
street that might be compared with Mic
ollet avenue. I give it up. There Is none
here that will allow of compa rison. State
street. with its endless chain of noisy
cable cars, its rough stone pavement We
neered with filth and mud and its unat-
tractive buildings, is not to be spoken of
in the same breath with our beautiful
business thcroughfare.
Here we have large, overgrown viii
lage, the center of commercial activity,
little friendship without the commercial
faint, and in Minneapolis we have beau
tiful city of homes, conservative business
principals and legitimate growth. Surely
there is no comparison.
How often we hear complaints in Mime
apolis regarding lack Of theatrical attrac-
tons. CHANGING over a list of the attrac-
tions at Chicago, playhouses this week, l
find we are faring better than Chicago.
William Gillette in ''Sherlock Holiness is
the only really first class attraction here
The Chicago opera-ho the home OF
Vaudevlle." is furnishing attractions
which might compare well with our Dewey
thea ter specialties. In a musical way
there is absolutely nothing here excepting
the Thomas orchestra; which the general
public has SO far been unable to support
t 1t surely must have been a Chicago
man who first said Comparisons are
odious.'' Let us more fully appreciate the
advantages enjoyed in our beautiful city
| of homes, and strive to keep it in thu
| front rank as it is now =.

HAND OF The TRUST
It Is Believed to Be Reaching for
Swedish and Norwegian
Iron Mines.
Scandinavian Politicians Are There
fore Urging Government Con-
troll and Export Duties.

( Sweden and Norway are becoming
greatly alarmed because Of the move-e(
ments Of the American iron and steel|
men who appear to be preparing to gobble
the Swedish iron fields. The politicians
are urging the government to nationalize
the iron mines and with that end IN view
a bill is being prepared for the riksdag
authorizing the government to purchase
the Gellivara and Kirunivara mines. The
same bill also contains a provision for an
export duty on iron ore.
A cable from Christiania announces that
which are developing the copper and iron
fields in Finmarken and Norrbatten have
entered the American trusts and that
American engineers will be In 1.-The field
early in the summer ~ Hz &.i
The Swedes are none too early in the
field if they hope to succeed in their at
tempt to save tho mines. Mr.. Queen,
editor Of the Ironmonger, speaking of the
situation says:
THE copper and iron kings are going
to make a great fight to gain control Of
the deposits of those metals in Sweden
and Norway. Swedish iron ore is par
ticularly forcing itself on the attention Of
steelmaker5 The ore is Of high grade,
being almost free from phosphorus and
therefore immensely valuable for mixing
| with ores of too high phosphoric quality.
! 1t is also better than the ores of VeneZue-
| la, Cuba and Spain.''
Swedish ores are already being shipped
| in large quantities to Great Britain and
| even to America Government control
would, it Is believed in Sweden, under the
circumstances prove very prof ia BILE while
an export duty would also yield a hand
some revenue.
A German syndicate is also after the
l'Swedsh mines. Aaron Hrsch, chief OF
the Norddeutsche bank was in Stockholm
! last month to open negotiations. The
4 possibility of both the Swedish and Nor
wegian governments imposing export du.
ties has rather frightened the German
syndicate. #.. s,-s y,5

are focking to the district. Scheming
