MIDDLE WEST BOOMING

ter a months sojourn in his old home
in ST. Paul "Onc can hardly be.
lieve that the cities of the Middle
West have developed as they have in
the past few years." gaid Mr.. Bailey,
at the Moore Hotel last Saturday.
when left ST. Paul eight years

plants at South st. Paul, the stock
center OF that region. Now there are
35 firms in the packing business there

HIGH PRICES FOR YEAR
TO CONE SAYS SWAGLER

District Attorney r. w swagler
returned this week from three
weeks visit at his old home in Min
neapolis, the great Touring center OF
the nation. In speaking of conditions
as he found them there Mr. swagler
said:
Business is so great that all the
mills and factories of Minneapolis and
st. Paul are months behind their or
ders. Talking with one of the lead
ing business men OF that section I
was told that everyone looks for the
present abnormal conditions to last
at least a year longer. Prices are
comparatively higher there than here
in Ontario. Money Is freer and busi-
ness is at top notch.
AT present the city Of Minneapolis
is deeply aroused over patriotic ques.
tlons. Pacincists hold mass meetings
one day with thousands present and
the next day the loyalists hold a
meeting double the size of the pacih-
clst gatherings. The oratory is fervid
and one has to be there to appreciate
how the people feel. Those OF us
who live out here in the quiet west
have no idea Of the extent to which
feelings have been aroused In the
Nui ci,v MANY citIzena of Minneap-
oils feel that the city has been materi-
ally injured by the factional fight
that has been engendered.
After living in the Snake River
valley for several years where the
winters are mild II was no Joke to
stay in Minneapolis where they ex-
perienced the coldest and hardest
winter in years. and was mighty
glad to get back to Ontario to thaw
out"
