ier and also a scarcity of labor,

Jnorations, It is said, to obtain all the

new Maln-aL highway.
As showing the magnitude of ihe
new ateel city, a few figures are
significant:
' The total acreage of Ojibway is
1,700 acres, of which 1.200 sre own
ed outright by the steel trust. The
rest will be used for subdivision and
civic purposes The acreage ot
Windsor is only 2.400 acres.
Two main converging streets
will run from the steel mills to the
center of the new city.
It Is expected that this summer
will see a temporary tented city
rise on the plains of old Ojibway.
This will be during the construction
of the new mills. I.;He the
Arab hosts, the thousands of
workmen will pour info Ojibway this
summer, but unlike the Arabs. fbey
will not fold their tents and steal
away, but will remain to become
units in one of the greatest and
most spectacular developments of a
single industry and civic growth or
the American continent.
The entire topographical appear
ance of the Canadian shore opposite
Detroit is destined to be changed
this summer, with 'he beginning of
the construction of this magical
city, whose chief occupation will be
the making r f steel for the domin
ion and the British colonies.
For the last few years Canada
has been the magnet of thousands
of real estate Investors, who have
bought land in the many growing
centers of the dominion. Ojibway
haß been one of these point* of op
eratlon, but the sale of lands in that
district slowed up during the past
year owing to the great real estate
boom in Detroit.
Now that the big steel mills of
Ojibway are destined to become a
reality, attention Is again drawn
to Canada, and Ojibway once more
becomes the magnet.
Canada for several years has been
the largest outside buyer of Ameri
can manufactured steel and Its itn
port business Is Increasing year by
year. There is still another advan
tage to be obtained —Canadian manu
factured articles practically enter all
British ports free of duty, with the
exception of a small preferential
tariff that applies to British manu
factured articles, when imported di
rect from one country to the other.
The immense saving in duty to Am
erican manufacturers exporting their
products to these countries can only
be obtained by manufacturing their
goods on British soil.
