Hier war Erz, hunderte Meter tief, dass könnte geschaufelt werden, als würden Sie einen Sandkasten - eine Milliarde Tonnen mindestens von reicherz, direkt am Ufer des Lake Superior, wo es bei niedrigen Kosten geliefert werden können. Die Stadt selbst stand mit beiden Füßen auf die Reichsten der Reichen. Alle Gebäude wurden auf geleaste landet. Was Sie dann Geld auf Parks und schattenspendenden Bäumen, zu verbringen, wenn jeden Tag die Stadt selbst aus bestellt werden kann, den Hunger für Erz der Armee von riesigen Dampf Schaufeln zu befriedigen?

. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. The Pushing Park Superintendent. Here was ore, hundreds of feet deep, that could be shoveled out as you would a sand pit—a billion tons at least of high-grade ore right on the banks of Lake Superior, where it could be shipped at low cost. The town itself stood with both feet on top of the richest of the riches. All buildings were on leased lands. What use then to spend money on parks and shade trees, when any day the town itself might be ordered off, to satisfy the hunger for ore of the army of huge steam shovels? To talk of spending the public's money that way just made people boil over. Still the '' big little giant" or " fight- ing mayor, " as the villagers are fond of calling their progressive executive, Victor L. Power (by the way, Mr. Power was recently reelected mayor to succeed himself for the ninth time), and the park commissioners kept hammering away until finally a small acreage was granted them in the center of the vil- lage.

Soon the results of this began to show. Things not only lived; they grew most convincingly. It began to look as if somebody knew what he was talking about. It was then not so difii- cult to get the tax-payers to "loosen up" for two more greenhouses of better design and construction. Moving Day. Through all the long, weary months of that northern winter, these flower- tilled houses gave cheer and happiness t
