BOULEVARD FOR
SPANISH CAPITAL

Madrid, SPAIN Oct. flight years
FROM now the Spanish capital will
have the most beautiful boulevard in
the world. il the ambitious project
commenced is carried to completion
Bids for building a portion of the new
highway were opened today The
boulevard will be constructed through
the most congested section OF the city
and already scores of costly build
ings have been demolished to make
way for the street builders. Before the
boulevard is completed. a total OF
36S importat edifices will have to be
RACED. The avenue will be known as
Grand Via and will be about a milo
in length. The work is to be done
In three sections, covering a period
OF eight years. While the contracts
let today will go to Spanish concerns,
it is likely that American manufac-
turers of structural materials will
benefit from the project, as most of
the buildings demolished will be re.
built.

MAIL ORDER MEN
ARE PROSPEROUS

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Accordng to fig.
ures available today, the present year
is likely to break all records in the
amount OF business transacted by the
great mail order houses. The growth
in business of one of the largest OF
the Chicago mail order houses Is said
to be more than 30 cents over the
same period last year. Other con.

are largely farmers, their increased

lions now obtaining in Minnesota, and
spread the fame of the state abroad,
the Gophers, body OF boosters, will
hold big banquet tonight, at which
many notables will be present. In.
dian and Gopher costumes will be
worn, and several hundred real Go.
piers have been secured in order
that the decorations OF the banquet
room may be complete.
The Minnesota state government is
now enjoying condition OF prosper,
almost without precedent in the
United States. The state treasury
has a surplus OF about 100000, and
1t is expected that this sum will be
sufficient to pay all the expenses of
the state government for another year
and still leave about $1,7O0 900 in the
state treasury on the first October,
1911. Texas could be dispensed with
in Minnesota for two years and still
leave the state solvent.
The unusual amount OF money in
the states strong box is due to the
settlement OF the lumber cases, the
gross earnings cases, the he lnedy in.
heritance tax cases and others which
Melted state large sulns OF money.
