MAKING PAPER BOXES. A Lnrjjt* and «r«MvinK Industry In Cliicugo Intcrt'ktiug I'urlictilur*. Trior 10 ISO) tln-rc were not a dozen paper box factories in the United States, and one of lln-m was located in Chicago, I'stabiislicd in They wire called "shops" in those days, and they did a comparatively small busi ness. Jt was hard to cominee the pub lic that a box made of paper was not a worthless contrivance. Hut the busi ness has grown enormously, says the Chronicle, and the "shop"' is now a "factory" and in line with other indus tries. From the little and lone shot: of 1850 the industry has grown here to -'U establishments, with an ajriire g-ate capital of about $000,000' and an annual output valued at $1.51)0.000. From the handful of "help"' in 1S5G the roil of employes has grown to be 2,500, at wages ranging from to $18 pei week. These employes convert not les. tlian 71) tons of materials into aboul 700,000 finished boxes every working day in the week. Of this vast output 20'».000 are classed as still' boxes and 500.000 as flexible boxes. The former are used for the various articles ol merchandise such as hats, skirts, can dy. hosiery and the like. The flexible are used for grain foods, bakers' goods and a thousand other kinds of commer cial articles, for whose packing fold ing or collapsible boxes answer every purpose besides, they are very much cheaper. Jiroad'.y speaking, the manufactures of stilt' boxes do not manufacture the flexible kind, nor do the makers of the flexible quality turn out the stiff boxes. In the manufacture of all kinds 150 va rieties and qualities of paper for cov ering boxes are used, and fully 100 of them are of American manufacture. Lace paper, such as seen in candy and fine goods boxes, come mostly from Eu rope. The making of paper laces re quires great skill, and those that are made to represent the real article are pretty expensive. They are made by steel dies, which include embossing dies. The embossing dies are the first to play upon the paper as it is fed from a roll, and then the lace dies, complete Ihe pattern. The principal materials used in the manufacture of boxes are glue, twine, binders' cloth, tar, jute, straw, pulp and chip boards, lace and cover paper. Of course, inventive genius has kept pace with the demand for improved tools and machinery. Until quite recently druggists had to go east for round pill boxes, but one company here now turns out nearly 30.000 a day. Nearly all the stiff boxes are sold to Chicago consumers, but a considerable number of the flexible go to all points in the territory tributary to Chicago. It is believed that there will be no expansion in the capacity of box making for some years, mainly because flexible boxes are coming into •use at the expense of stiff boxes, which is likely to force the strictly stiff box makers to add the flexible to then product, and in that event the general output would be enormously swelled by existing plants, as the flexible kind do not require nearly the amount of time besides, the weight of thin sitock is very much less, and hence their pro duction is at very much less cost than the stiff boxes. No doubt many will be surprised fo know that the paper box industry is on such a-n extensive scale in Chicago that $500,000' capital is required, that the annual product is worth $1,500',000 and that it pays wages to 2.500 people, exclusive of the clerical, sales depart ment and supervising department force. There is what is called the Western Paper Box Makers' associa tion, which is composed of 4S firms in 2S cities, bivt it is in no sense a trust. In fact, its principal business is t-o meet once a year and talk "box" around a banquet table. Iacrca«e In the l:. S. Snvy.

What lit- l'ouud In U'olern Cnnndc lo Iuducc Hint to Selllf. Sault Bte. Marie-, Mich., Feb. 20, 1900. To whom it may concern, especially to those who are desirous of obtuiuing health and wealth for tlieinsehes and families. 1 wish to state a few facts in regard' to the Canadian Northwest, where I went, leaving Sault Ste. M^rie on May 2nd, ISO'j, for the purpose of seeking a better home for my family in the future. I got a special rate tick et for Ft. McLcod, Alberta. Through Manitoba and part of Assiniboia the farmers were busy employed plough ing and seeding. 1 found farmers very kind and friendly, willing to talk and assist in giv ing me the particulars of the country. At McLeod I spent a few days look ing over some ranchers' stock, which I was surprised to see looking so well they were in better condition than any stock I ever saw in Michigan, even those that had been stabled, and most of these Lad never seen the inside of a slied or received any feed from the hands of man. Hut as I was looking for mixed' farm land I found McLeod no place for me, it is only lit for ranching purposes. Jietraeingmy way back to Winnipeg, I stopped off' at Lethbridge where I found, some of the greatest horse ranches I ever had the pleasure of look ing at it is a line level country and lots of water and good grazing. At Medicine Hat. which is locaud in aval ley, there were lots of shetp. cattle and horses in the surrounding country and all looking well. On July lltli I went on to Itegina there I began to see mixed farming lands in abtinuanee and the crops look ing remarkably well, and as long as daylight lasted I saw the same all along the line, and' on the 15th of July I ar rived in Winnipeg, just in time for the Exhibition there I met with one of the most beautiful pictures of the I •world's records, for as soon as I en teredi the grounds my eyes met with all kinds of machinery, all in motion, and the cattle, grain and produce of the country was far beyond my ex pectation, in fact it was beyond any industrial exhibition or agricultural fair I ever visited, and I have seen a good many. From Regina to Prince Albert, a dis tance of 250 miles, it is all good for mixed farming, and well settled, with some thriving little towns. In some places the grain, just coming into head, woulditake a man to the waist, anditlie wild fruit along the line was good', rich and in great quantities from Saska toon on the south branch of the Saskatchewan river to Prince Albert on the north branch of the same river, is one of the best farming districts without any doubt that ever laid, face to the sun. and everything to be found there that is necessary to make life comfortable all that is required is la l»or. There is lots of wood, good wa ter and abundant hay land, and the climate is excellent. Prince Albert Is a flourishing little place, situated on the north Saskat chewan river, having a population of about 1,S00, with good streets and side walks and churches of nearly every denomination, three schoolhouses and another one to be built at once also a Brewery and Creamery. Here I stayed for about four months, working at my trade of brick-laying, and met with farmers and ranchers with whom I made it my special business to talk in regard to the prospects. I also visited several farmers for some distance out in the country while crops were in full bloom and I may say that I never saw better crops in all my travels than I saw along the valley towards Stoney Creek and Carrot River. In the market garden there is grown currants, both red and black, and as fine a sample of roots and vegetables as ever went on a market. The soil in and' around this district cannot be teaten for anything you may wish to grow, and besides the season is long, giving time for everything to mature. The cattle were looking as good as I saw anywhere, good pasture and hay land, and plenty of water wherever you go. The coun try is dotted all around like islands with timber fit for fuel and building purposes and within a day's walk of lumbering-woods, where lumbering and tie-making is carried on, in winter. Both large audi small game is plentiful. There are two good sawmills in this district, with a good supply of all grades of lumber all the year round and also two good brickyards with an excellent quality of brick. There is no scarcity of building material and at a reasonable price. Clothing and living are no higher than I find in Michigan, and furthermore I wish to say that there is a great demand for laboring men all the year round and good wages ranging from $1.75 to $2.00 per day. and from $25.00 to $35.00 per month with board. I wish to say that I am perfectly sat isfied with the country and I intend to return to Prince Albert early in the spring of 1900. Any reasonable man can go there and in from five to ten years make a good and comfortable home for himself and family, and if any person into whose hand this letter should fall, desires more information, please write to me and 1 will freely give them my best opinion. I am writ ing this for the benefit of those who may want to make a better home for themselves and families or friends. Trusting that this statement may be useful to you in the publication of your next pamphlet and be the means of guiding at least some of those who are in search of a home. I remain.
