The entry of Titus, the American
amateur champion in single skull
shells. has been rejected at Henley
without word of explanation. This
plucky oarsman has badly frightened
the Englishmcn. in earlier races, at
Henley. Last year he won the trial
and spmi-final heats but lost in the
finals. He is just as much an amateur
this year as he was then, and his
standing has never been questioned.
He is rowing faster this year than ever
before, and has the benefit of his pre-
vious experience. Under the Henley
rules the management can reject any
entry without word of cXplanation
but to take refuge in them. in such
Cowardly fashion, i'll becomes the
much-advertised and seldom exhibited
English spirit of fair play.

MINNESOTA MILLS AND MINES.

Scarcely twenty years ago Minnesota known to
the world purely agricultural About that
time the for milling spring wheat began to
produce results, and Minnesota swiftly the posi-
ton Of the first state in the world in the production of
breadstu The lumber industry began to assume large
proportions about the time, and Minnesota rose
quickly to the rank of Michigan and Wisconsin as pro-
Queer of white pine lumber and since that has passed
them.
In 1884 the Vermillon iron range first began to be
developed and in 1891 the Mesaba iron range followed
This past year Minnesotas iron ore product forged I'D
ward to the $1,000 oooton mark only the greatest
output of state in the history of the world but
per cent of the total iron product of the United
States and greater than the total product of the
United Kingdom. Minnesota is not only the greatest
iron producer from the standpoint of quantity but
likewise from that of quality. Without Minnesota ore
it questionable the United States would now hold
the position of first steel producer among nations
In general volume of manufacturing Minnesota is
beginning to assume high position certainly for an
agricultural state" Only twelve states in the Union
turn out greater annual volume of manufactured goods
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio
New Jersey, Missouri, Indiana Wisconsin, Michigan,
Connecticut and California the first dozen states in
order of value Of product The dozen run as fol-
lows: Minnesota Maryland, Rhode Island Kansas.
Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska, Virginia. Maine, Louisiana,
Texas New Hampshire.
The manufactured product of Minnesota now ex-
ceed that of Maine and New Hampshire combined or OF
vermont and KhOde Island. 1t
than the combined factory production of Maine and West
Virginia It is greater than the combined manufactured
product of Kentucky and Tennessee Iowa plus Ar
kansas and Mississippi 1t is than double that of
Maine, and four times that of Vermont
The aggregate value of the mill and factory product
OF Minnesota in 1909 covered by the of
was S2o2oooooo as compared with $Io2oooooo in $780,
%ooooooo in 1880, and $23ooo,ooo in 1870. The mum,
Der OF establishments III4 compared with 1906 in
$780, 3493 in 1880, and 227o in 1870 The number OF
wage earners employed were 77,234, as compared with
5000 III 1890, PRAY in 1885, and II 200 in 1870.
For the year 1902 which showed great increase over
$780, the basis of the twelfth census statistics there is
little question that Mnnesotas manufacturing industry
ran into the following large totals Number of manu-
featuring establishments, 1900; capital invested $780,
100000; number of wage earners employed 10000;
wages paid $ooooooo; cost of materials used $780,
100000; value OF products 10000 100000.
A significant straw which shows the way of the de-
velopment Of Minnesota manufactures is this-tat the
value Of the lands and buildings employed in manufac-
turing amounted i'll 1900 per of the entire as
sessed real estate valuation of the state

PANAMA CANAL PROSPECTS.

At cost Of $44ooo,ooo for canal construction and
$4ooooooo for franchises and concessions we are
at liberty undertake the construction of fortynne
miles CT ocean canal the Isthmus OF Panama.
job which it is estimated will require fifteen to twenty
years
What the canal will actually cost by that time and
what changes in the commercial map of the world may
take place i'll fifteen twenty years, may only con-
lecture What will be the commercial value of the canal
when constructed the United States is matter Of
speculation.
There is little question that the isthman canal will
be Of considerable to the Atlantic and gulf coasts in
building UP trade with the Pacific coast of South Amer
lea, and that New York and New Orleans will get a
large slice Of the trade which goes San Francisco
New York and Boston will also have shorter
route to Australia than they now possess.
50 tar as the trade with the Orient is concerned the
sthnian canal apparently will little figure as New
York will get via Panama haul only few hundred
miles shorter than via the Suez canal and London will
have 1900 miles advantage in distance via the Suez
The Northwest will continue to hold its strong post
of advantage in commerce with the Orient From Puget
sound to Yokohama it IS only 1910 miles the north
shortcut route, compared with Ioo46 miles from
New York via Panama to Yokohama From Puget sound
TO Horgkong is $500 miles, compared with soy
from New York to Hongkong via Panama Thus Puget
sound has nearly 5000 miles advantage over New York
in reaching the markets Of the Orient and this is de-
Cisive advantage.
When twelveknot vessel makes only 2o1G miles in
week. it is that the 6ooo miles advantage held by
Puget sound three weeks time both the
outgoing and return ships saving of weeks in ALL
Puget sound would have weeks advantage each way.
