ration OF the Mississippi River Power
company, said that just now his de-
partment was hunting for the best
man In the country to take charge OF
the work of locating factories in the

interest in locating factories and wish
to assure you that we have the most
profound and vital interest in seeing
that factories are located here" He

OPERA TESTED.
Garden Experiment Shows Lack

sic Music at Prices That
Fit All Pocketbooks.

The belief. held against all odds that
the great heart Of the people of this city

price OF admission TO the capacity of all
pocketbooks is all that is needed to call
forth the public in vast numbers. re-
ceiyed another test last night at the
popular spring concert i'm Madison
Square Garden.
The programme was unusually interest
ing. There was Beethovens Leonore
Overture No. 3. and his Fifth symphony
as well as selections from the Wagnerian
music-dramas. played by an orchestra Of
ninety musicians, selected from the
ranks of the Philharmonic and New York
symphony orchestras. and all under the
baton of David Names.
Then there was a soloist in Nine Julia
Culp. and all who care most for the art
OF song care in a superlative degree for
Nine. Culp.
The prices ranged from 81 to Is cents.
The great heart Of the music loving people
should surely have beaten a quickstep
yet the audience was in composition
much the same as those which attend the
winter concerts i'm Carnegie Hall. and
its size. while it would have been excel
lent for that smaller auditorium. was
rather inadequate for the vast spaces OF
