ANNUAL
PLAYS At TONKA
HORACE LOWRY APPROVES PLAN
FOR MORE sHAKEsPERE.
The idea Is to Bring the Ben Greet
Company to Minnetonka Each Sum-
mer-The Subscription Would Be
Open to Men in All the Leading
Northwestern Cities.

Shakespeare as regular summer at
traction at Lake Minnetonka, is a nov
city suggested by the recent success Of
the outdoor performances by the Ben
Greet company at Deephaven. No more
beautiful spot could be selected in the
northwest than some wooded shore Of
the beautiful lake. Ben Greet has al
ready shown the ability of his players
to adapt themselves to natural sur
roundings for stage and settings, Civ
ing the original flavor Of the plays.
Horace Lowry said today that if the
plan could be carried out as outlined,
the project would be a grand one. AS
proprietor of the Tonka Bay hotel, he
has a personal and financial interest in
the state to the fact that Lake Mime
tonka is one of the best watering places
in the country, unexcelled by famous
resorts of the east. He recalled the
times when the Lafayette, the st. Louis
and the Lake Park, three big hotels,
had to turn guests away daily for lack
Of room. Unfortunate circumstances,
popularity which the lake had attained.
So far as the Tonka Bay was concerned
he had aimed to operate the hostelry as
hotels were run twenty years ago in the
good old days. He believed that a
Shakesperian revival under Ben Greet IS
management, properly handled, would
rebound to the popularity Of Mime
tonka.
Az roughly outlined the scheme would
be an elaboration of the plan under
which Mr.. Greet so successfully gave =
day of comedy on the Burton grounds
at Deephaven. The occasion would be
under subscription auspices 1t would
therefore be exclusive, but instead of
being confined to Minneapolis or to the
twin cities, the choice of subscribers
would be extended to all the large cities
of the northwest, such as Duluth, Man
Groups would be found in each section
eager to take financial interest in the
promotion of the plan. The Shakes
perian in Elizabethan style would soon
become an enduring fad for one week Of
each summer season, SO promoters of the
plan enthusiastically declare.

COMPARE RATES
OF OTHER STATES
TABLES BEING PREPARED AS
BASIS FOR INQUIRY.
Railroad Commission Is Making Close
Analysis Of State Rates, and Lining
Them Up Alongside Distance Tariffs
Of Iowa and Illinois-Will Refer Com
parsons to Railroad officials.

The first stage in the coming inves-
tigation of Minnesota freight rates by
the railroad and warehouse commission
will be, completed shortly. Tables are
being prepared for the commission,
showing the existing rates on first-class
freight and on the commodities, includ-
ing lumber, wheat, coarse grains cat
tie, hogs, sheep, wood and coal. These
tables cover all parts of the state and
all distances, and in connection with
each rate is given the corresponding
rate according to the Illinois and Iowa
distance tariffs, for the same article
and the same distance. The tables will
also show at a glance in each case
whether the Minnesota distance or dis
stributing rate is higher or lower than
the rate in the other states, and by
what per cent. These tables, when fin
ished, will be distributed to all the
Minnesota railroads.
The The ). commission s! m S in citing the dis
lance tariffs OF Iowa and Illinois, indi-
Gates that it considers those state-made
rates to be fair and proper for com
parison: It will be incumbent on the
railroad officials, where the Minnesota
rates are found to be higher, to show
why. they should be so. The state has
no distance tariff law, and it is not be-
lieved that the commission intends to
revise rates strictly on that basis. In
fact, the legislature, in ordering the
investigation, recommended that both
distance tariffs and distributing rates
be kept in force, but that the difference
between those rates be reduced to not
more than per cent. The need of some
special distributing rates in southern
Minnesota was recognized, in order to
give the twin cities a chance to com
pete with Chicago in that territory.
