 Thoughts on the Excursion
 What do you think of what You saw" was a question asked yesterday evening after thee trip to Iskoda, Woodward. Bayview, Edgewater and the wire mill had been completed and the members of the institute were Following are some of the replies: Judge Ebert H. Gary: T have been greatly pleased by what I have seen about the city and the many improvements made through out the district by our people. This | district is destined to still greater l things"
 Jame A. Farrell "The Fairfield | wire mill Is the latest to be built 1 by the corporation, and is as near perfection as we know how to make | it. It was with great pleasure l 1 inspected the mill and other iron
 and steel and coal properties to- l day. They compare favorably with l the best in the country" Joseph c. Butler. Jr., ('Uncle l Joe"), vice president Brier Hill l Steel company, Youngstown, O.: This district has a wonderful l future, in my estimation, owing to 1 the fact that there Is comparatively l no local market for your products I and it therefore will become the l chief export center of the Ameri- can iron and steel industry. The
 Improvements here are wonderful.
