TWIN CITY BANKERS SEE ONLY
PROSPERITY.
Men Of Cash Write in Commercial West
That Disturbing Elements Are
Minus Quantity in Commercial Affairs
Northwest Dual Metropolis Holds
High Rank Among Business Centers.

Quotations from bankers of the twin
cities published in the annual number of
the Comm ercial West, issued Saturday.
prophecy an undisturbed fall business
activity and prosperity for the north
west, and the entire country.
In the opinion of these men, disturb
ing features will be absent. Assurance
OF big harvest and preparations made
care of threatening difficulties have dis
PEELED forebodings of financial troubles.
Abnormally close money owing to the
| crop movement is not expected, altho
rat es will undoubtedly stiffen.
A leading article, which concerns the
twin city metropolis, shows that as a
single metropolis the twin cities rival
Baltimore, Boston and St. Louis in
population and growth. In value Of
manufactured products the metropolis
| rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati, and
with suburban points included, it is
in the class with Pittsburg, Boston and
st.. Louis. In bank clearings the two
cities stand with the six leading finan-
| clal centers, the $1,500,O0O,00O class.
Stands Among Big Ones.
In deposits the cities have reached
800, 100000. In building, the annual
| record is $16,000,00O, and in real estate
transfers $25,0O0OO0. 1872
Rapid and solid growth Of the tribu-
tary agricultural domain is given as one
of the strongest bulwarks- Of the pros
perity Of the twin cities. AS railway
center, the new metropolis has a rail
way mileage equal to that which centers
in New York. The announcement that
Armour & Co. will build here insures for
Minnesota future in meat production
similar to the victories in grain and
dairy products.

GREAT INTERESTS AT STAKE
Supreme Court Decision Puts Hill il
Position to Make Lease,
Special to The Journal

Special to The Journal.
New York, Sept. Snow that the
case in the Minnesota courts involving
the title Of the iron ore lands that at
one time belonged to the state has been
decided in favor of the present own
ers, the title Of the Great Northern in
its holding is confirmed and it is in a
position to disposes.of them or make a
lease on any terms that it sees fit.
Accordingly there is nothing in the
way Of the early announcement Of the
terms for the now famous Great North
ern-U United States steel ore deal, be-
cause it is understood that terms of the
deal settled upon before Judge Gary,
chairman Of the board of steel corpora
ton sailed for Europe. It is posi-
BILE that there will be no announcement
until Judge Gary returns, which will
not be until the latter part of next
week. Meantime, in some of the bro
kerage houses, bids are being made for
the prospective rights on Great North
ern.
A fnancier in close touch with
United States Steel affairs, says: 'sThe
transfer of the Hill ore properties to
the steel company will give the latter
undisputed right to 1,40O,OOO,OOO tons
of iron ore, thus assuring it supplies for
fifty years or more

MEDICAL EXAMINER
PLANNED FOR SCHOOLS
Health Commissioner Hall and Super
intendent Jordan See Much Good as

Result of Special Oversight of Pupils.
Minneapolis should have a school
medical inspector who willsexamine pub
lie school students at; regular intervals
and report on the physical condition
of the pupils to the. state board l5of
health. =" =.
This is the opinion of DR.. P. NJ. Hall.
city health commissioner, who has made
a study Of local conditions and who be-
lieves that a regular inspection of pub
lie school pupils would be beneficial to
the school system and to the public
health of the community. y g "
In his desire for public school in
spector DR.. Hall is seconded by DR.. Or
lieves that medical inspection, under
the surveillance Of the state board of
health and limited to conditions which
can be cared for by parents, would be a
benefit to the public school system. DR..
Jordan believes that the inspection
should not overstep the boundaries
which can be cared for by the family
physicians of the pupils, but he is Of
the opinion that in many cases, espe-
cially those of the. eye, a regular inspYG-
ton of pupils might be beneficial to
the public school system. =. H. =:
Last week an agitation for the regu-
lar inspection of public school students
developed in St. Paul, and it is prob.
able that the st. Paul school board will
name physician who, under the city
board of health, will examine the pub
lie school pupils for symptoms Of dis
ease; In Minneapolis the situation is
similar. !. y, = -. y ,:::es ~. ~.
In the opinion of DR.. Jordan the
greatest need Of a physical inspection
of pupils lies in the examination Of the
eye. In eastern cities, where, an exam
attention has been given to eye. exam
nation, but according to DR.. Jordan it
is question whether the advantages
Of the examination overcome the disad-
vantages. In any event, if the system
is started in Minneapolis special atten-
tion will be paid to eye examination.
