Local Manufacturers.

This Is the season of the year when
Minneapolis begins to look its best, and
when the old-time resident begins to
show visitors about and explain to
them the changes that few years have
wrought in the physical appearance Of
the city. This is excellent practice in
keeping Minneapolis to. the fore, but it
is probable that the Oldest inhabitant
and the youngest real estate boomer to-
gether overlook what has caused the
changes in the business center Of Min
neapois. We are continually mistak-
ing effect for cause. When we point
out ten-story building in the center Of
this city we are not pointing to cause
of it's prosperity, but to result. The
same is, true Of a great retail house.
Not that these causes do not. in their
turn become the causes Of succeeding
effects, but the fact is, cities are not
made by their business centers. We
need to 90 out little further before we
have hit upon the cause Of Minneapolis
great growth. That cause will be found
in the development Of manufactures.
We are apt to think Of Minneapolis
as the center Of a great product OF
flour and lumber, and we are apt to say
that those industries have reached their
zenith and must recede. So far as
flour is concerned this is not true, and
80 far as lumber is concerned it is not
true that there need be any appreciable
decline in it for years to come. But
should the time ever come when either
of these great industries showed de-
clining activity it is predictable that
Minneapolis would 60 on scarcely miss
ing them, and this because in the past
two decades silently there has grown up
j: great body Of manufacturers in wood
iron, textile and miscellaneous lines.
I In taking an inventory Of Minneapo-
lis from street car, you see the big
buildings and the fine residences, but it
is possible, if one has the eyes for it,
even from a streetcar to see evidences
of the transformation Of Minneapolis
from trading center into great man
ufacturing plant. The evolution of the
city is natural, and for that reason il
has been quiet. While other cities have
q made strenuous efforts to locate manu-
features within their limits Minneapolis
has of late years done practically moth
4 ing. We do not know even that bust
y hess Minneapolis knows that they hav,
arrived. These manufactures have
como here because here is chance TO-
profit. They are none the less welcome
. here and none the less entitled to tn,
home market because they have come il
voluntarily.
The point is that Minneapolis is to
day a more than respectable manufac
turing point.{ She can be made, with
little we'll directed effort on the part O.
the purchasing public, great manufac
4 turing point. The real estate and re
q tail interests working intelligently to
gether can make sure of the future o
the city. The present outlook is tina
manufactures will come here withou
booming or bonuses, and it is better tina
they should become as result of tn
demonstration Of the value Of the site
here, but once arrived it is the part O

Fro2n now on will be seeding time for
lhs weeds. During the spring and
sarly summer they have been growing
in street gutter, alleys and vacant lots,
bnt the time is near when the seeds will
be ripe and every wind will scatter
kheH, not only in neglected territory,
bnt ap6n the well kept lawns and pref.

campaign againt the weeds now will
reduce the crop another year, and at
she same time will greatly improve
present appearances. Nor should the
snti-weed campaign be confined to the
city authorities. Every householder
and yard owner should see to it that
his own premises are free. A little
activity now will save much work and
annoyance next summer.
