portunities for these economies of con-
centration multiplied, The most not
able example of concentration with
the use of electrical power was in the
Edison building, which was put up
about 1890, and was almost immedi
ately filled with printing establish
ments. ..-

portant part in manufacturing meth

condition of operatives has been much
improved by electrical inventions.
The expansion Of manufacturing in
Minneapolis in the twenty-five years
has been something like $500 per cent.
The best available figures for the value
of the products of Minneapolis manu-
facturers In 1878 are s10,399,930.
These figures were probably quite ac-
curate, as it was not an inpossibility
to canvass; the city and secure toler-
ably complete footings. In 1908 such
proceeding is manifestly impossible.
But it is known that the census of
1900 gave to the city manufactured
product of stio,oeo,900, and the
growth since that year has been phe-
11onenal. in all lines. Many establish
ments have doubled their product since
1900; growth of so per cent a year
has been common in some lines. AL
lowing that the average annual growth
of nanufac turing in the city, during
the three years has been but " per
cent, the aggregate for 1903 should
be about $3.50, 100000. This is $500 per
cent of the total: Of 1873. ::
These figures include the value. of
flour and sawn1ill products, which
were in 1900 about half the total.
The estimates by years from 1878 to

GREEN s. DE LAITTRE CO.,
importers and Wholesale Grocers

The above enterprising and progress
sive firm entered the jobbing field Of
the northwest on July 1, 1901. 1t i'm
mediately bounded into prominence,
owing to the fine character and COM
plete lines of the goods carried by it.
Shortly after beginning business the
firm placed on the market excellent
lines of goods under its own labels, and
to-day the quality and attractiveness
of Princess "Golden West and
Red Bird" are well-known brands to
every retailer turnout the northwest.
The sales department of the Green &
De Laittre COMPANY not only caters to
the entire city trade, but also to the.
requirements of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Wisconsin and Mon
tana.
Last June the company found its
original building too small for its rap
idly increasing business, and conse-
duently moved into the present large
and centrally located quarters. at IS
20-s2 Third street N. Its warehouse
offices and sample-roonas are consid-
cred models of their kind, and Gus

MAY BE CANCER
Fears Are Expressed That Kaiser
Malady Is Dangerous.

New DIRK, Nov. 9.-Information
contained in private dispatches re-
ceived here shows that the operation
on Emperor William is similar to the
first one performed on his father, and
consequently causes concern to his
household, The official statement is
sued by the surgeons fails to reassure
because it is well understood that for
reasons of state the emperor would be
given the benefit Of any doubt as to
the true character of his disease.
1t is recalled that the surgeons at
that time made nothing of the first
operation on Emperor Frederick.
There is anxiety because both EN-
perof Williams father and mother
died of cancer and his grandmother
Augusta, also was SO afflicted. The
emperor's aunt, the Grand Duchess OF
Baden, as is we'll known in Germang

CHEERS FOR HANNA
His Colleagues in the Senate Greet
Him Enthusiastically.

Washington, Nov. 9.-With gall
Ieries crowded with the chamber a
mass of elaborate floral tributes and
nearly, every senator in his seat, the
savel of President pro tenn. Frye
sounded at noon to-day, calling the
senate together in the extraordinary
session of the fifty-eighth congress.
The special session Of the senate, fol-
lowing the adjournment last spring of
the f1fty-seventh congress, eliminated
much of the routine work which
otherwise would have been performed
to-day. Now senators had taken
oaths Of office. seats had been as
signed and nearly all functions of the
organization had been completed.
Two hours before the senate was
called to order the galleries began
filling UP with spectators, who
watched the pages and messengers
place the constantly arriving floral
offerings upon the desks of senators.
Senator Hanna's pronounced victory
in Ohio won for him one Of the most
pretentious floral designs ever seen in
the senate, a shield three and a half
by four and a half feet, of blue i'm
mortelles, In which were wrought out
of California grasses, ribbons and red
white and blue immortelles the design
of the American eagle. The shield
was surmounted with a gorgeou:
cluster of American Beauty roses
The offering bore the inscriptions:
