New Foundry for Allnet.

\ The, Commercial club. which has
ever worked flor greater EMinot. has
succeeded in landing another enter
prise for; our Magic city. The Minot
Foundry andsMaohine Co. with a cap
iital OF $4,000 has. been organized
with foreign and local capital and
some Of the machinery for that con-
Germ is now here Three of the prin-
cipal stockholders and pushers are
Lewis Lee, who has been connected
with the Northwestern Machine
Works Of this city, j. E. Murphy an
old foundry worker from New York
City and John Elliott, who knows all
about foundries. Mr.. Elliot comes
from Northfield, MINI. The concern
will be located on the 500 right of
way, perhaps where Teutsch had his
factory. All the latest machinery will
be installed and the foundry will be
able to turn out any kind of ma
chine. It will be able to build a
threshing machine in it's entirety and
will also make speciality of building
and rebuilding automobiles. It will
not be necessary to send out of the
city when this concern gets to going
right, for any work of this kind, and
we believe that the people are loyal
enough to leave all the work at home.
The new foundry will employ.twen-
ty-five or thirty men in the start and
this means a good many more fam
lilies for Minot. Such concern will
prove invaluable to our city.

WHO SHALL Do
THE BUSINESS?
Portuguese Already Booking
Should Government or
Planters Pay?

It is stated that from 500 to 800
Portuguese have already been regis
tered at the Madeira agency for emf
grafton to Hawaii as soon as the law
allows and transportation is afforded.
In government and plantation cir
cles the question has come up for con-
sideration as to whether the govern
ment or the Planters Association
should pay the expenses of further
European immigrants to these islands.
One of the official class said to an Ad-
vertiser reporter yesterday:
For my part am in favor Of let
ting the planters pay for the Euro
pean immigration and having them
handle the whole business
IN the first place the bringing in
of the five thousand Latins arrived
last year was conducted in a thorough
Iy businesslike manner by the plant
ers. They are the first to receive the
benefit of such new population any
way, and if it had not repaid them
in former times to assess themselves
for a labor supply they would not
have gone to the cost of this latest ex-
pertinent BY all accounts, too, they
appear to be well satisfied thus far
with the people SO procured.
IN the next place, by leaving the
business to the planters, the danger
of having immigration matters
dragged into politics is obviated.
There would be great liability of
making a mess of the business if party
bosses dictated the hands to which it
should be committed.
Then, If the government was to I'M
dertake the business it would be neces-
sary to call special session of the
Legislature to authorize the work and
appropriate money for it. This would
not only be an expensive matter, for
which in the long run the planters
would have their full share to pay
the Legislature would be friendly to
the main proposition
Governor Frear, in discussing the
Hawaiian immigration bill as amend
ed by the committee, said:
1.-The bill is designed to permit us t.
get some of the needed laborers from
desirable classes of Europe, which W.
otherwise would never get, for unles
they are helped to come they would
| never get across the United State
mainland, but would be absorbed as b.
| a sponge. There is nothing in the ma
ture of a contract provided for, excep
that work will be promised them, bu
they are in no wise bound to work il
any particular place. nor, in fact, t

GOING To FOREIGN LAND
FOR SUPPLY Of BANANAS

SAN FRANCISCO, January 19.-If
the plans of the men behind the Amer
lean fruit company produce expected
results the region around Acapulco,
Mexico, will be turned into a vast ba-
mana grove for the private use of the
people of the Pacific coast, while San
Francisco and not New Orleans will
become the entry port for the millions
of punches of that fruit which are con-
summed by Americans every year. On
the steamer Isle, chartered from a Ger
man firm, party of thirty men are
to leave San Francisco Tuesday to
start work on the 100000 acre Laguna
de Questa plantation near Acapulco.
NJ. Thompson, a merchant of Seattle,
thusiastic over the chances his COM
pany has of putting the United fruit
company out of the western banana
business
With the party will go a number of
engineers, who are to build the docks,
railroads and telephone and telegraph
lines which the concessions from the
Mexican government permit the COM
pany to construct. In order to get the
fruit to this country in it's own ships
| the company has chartered half dozen
vessels, which will be ready to begin
| transporting two million lunches of
| bananas a year, which the company
| expects to produce in few years. Two
and a half millions of dollars already
| have been invested in land and mate
rails for building the railroad which
viii connect the plantation with the
shores of Laguna de Questa, where the
| company's scows will receive the fruit
for transportation to Acapulco.
The Isle. on which the party leaves
this port, has been fitted up as fruiter
and the members of the party look for
ward to the two months trip to the
banana lands of Mexico with a great
deal of pleasure. Among those who
are to make up the party are NJ
Thompson of Seattle; W. R. Palmer
superintendent of the Northern Pacific
railroad; T. F. RYAN, formerly of the
Central mill company of Seattle, but
now the general manager of the new
company, and Arthur Gamwen of Seat
tie.
