AMERICAN WINDMILL
'< KING IN AUSTRALIA
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 20-Spellbinders,
labor leaders, auctioneers and some
few manufacturers will swell with
pride to learn that in western Austria
Tia, the American windmill is. regarded
ss the best in the world. On thous-
and hills in that far-aWay country our
windnlills rear their lofty fronts and
harness the wavering breezes that
water may be coaxed from the depths
of the earth for the refreshment Of
thirsty herds. It is dry, rough land
where springs are none and streams
are few, and cattle and sheep will die
by droves and focks if the clank Of
the pump does not sound, it's note in I'M
broken monotony for days and weeks
and months at stretch. Hence the
mill that drives the pump must not be
a faltering windjammer, but must be
ever true to it's task as the weary time
rolls on.
The American windmill has built up
a reputation for always being there
with the goods, otherwise the water,
and the consequence is, that the cattle
kings Of western Australia will have
none but the American mills, altho
they cost 20 per cent more than any
other. The United States consuls
there report that the Australian manu-
factnrers have tried repeatedly to du-
plicate the Yankee article, but have
never yet turned out a mill which will
command the confidence Of the men
who own the cattle which must have
the water that the mills have to pump.

planned to reach the great number of people
who travel, the class Of people who spend the
winter In Florida and California, and who can
easily be induced to spend at least part of the
summer at the lakes surrounding Minneapolis.
Another campaign should be planned to reach
those people, who, having secured comfortable
fortunes either thru farming or business OPP
eratons in the states west Of here, look
Ing for place in which to build permanent
homes and to educate their children.
''The campaign should be conducted in such
a way as to attract the attention Of the entire
country and to create the impression that Min
make investments and do business, and I'M
r1valled as delightful place in which to live.''
From Another Source.
"Mr. Bull also feels confident that
Minneapolis would make no mistake
to initiate a campaign of advertising
and he adds in his letter: spending
the money in the right direction is an
important feature, but not serious

stands the advertising business has it
in hand Mr.. Bull thinks to give the
proposition the right swing and make

should raise fund Of at least 100000

altho a less amount no doubt would
produce proportionately satisfactory
"Should the project be launched in
the near future, we shall have ample
time in which to make plans for the
work, and by 1907 would thus be en-
abled to present the matter so that the

idea that such move would be in &C.

Property owners and members of the

which would show what ratio Minneap-

up from letters received in replies to
inquiries sent out some time ago. In

for unimproved retail, wholesale and
trackage. properties, also for manufac-
turing sites. ~-..e -
Minneapolis Values.
Unimproved retail property in Min
neapolis was placed at $4,000 a front
foot, which is considered a conservative
valuation. Unimproved wholesale
property for comparison purposes was
placed at $500 front foot. Trackage
properties, such as those on Third street
s., are estimated at $500 a front foot
In the case Of manufacturing sites the
estimate was hard: to make and the
bureau therefore chose range Of from
$50 to $3.50 a foot ~ =
For example, may be cited Buffalo,
which has a population Of 100000: and
Cleveland, with population of A, 900.
Kansas City is an exception with its
population of 100000. and unimproved
retail property at $4,000 front foot
Newark, with a population of $4,000
makes the retail property price $6,500

Centers Are Shifting.
Uneasiness is betrayed all thru the
country at the present time in the way
of prospective industrial changes. This
is due in many cases to labor difficult
ties in points farther east, to which
Minneapolis is an entire stranger be-
cause employees here are well treated
and in the main. own or are buying
homes. In other instances it is due, to
the fact that the pioneer line is ad-
vancing. westward. Institutions which
aim to keep near the point Of rapid de-
velopment find that they are now in
the rcarguar1 and wish to get close to
the big nortlwert. Minneapolis offers
the opportunity FOR many of these: An
other reason is the rapid disappearance
of the raw material in the closely set
tied states, and it is now found only
in the northwest. -: L - =. - =

TO stain Floors.

Here is a good recipe for staining
carpet in bedroom. First get the
floor perfectly clean, If there. are
cracks between boards fill them, then
mix inseed oil and burnt lumber to:
gether, tablespoonful to a pint Of
linseed OIL Stir it thoroly. # you
wish it darker put in more umber; il
lighter, use more oil. Put it on the
floor with clean paintbrush. Rub it
evenly. After a few days, when dry,
put on. a second coat. Try a little of
the stain on a piece of wood first to get
the color you wish. When it gets
soiled or dirty mop it off with little
warm borax water, which will clean.a and
it now and then if it needs il. This in-
ish resembles hardwood floor.
