shipped in its original condition to Eastern mar- 

 kets, but great quantities are used in the ten- 

 million-dollar plant which the United States 

 Steel Corporation has erected at Duluth. There 

 are, besides, vast wheat fields, millions of acres 

 in extent, and thousands of miles of forest to 

 provide material for local manufacture. No 

 other state compares with Minnesota in the 

 value of flour mill and gristmill products, over 

 one-fifth of the flour produced in the United 

 States coming from this one state. Minneapolis 

 leads the world in its output of flour, the Falls 

 of Saint Anthony furnishing it with an abund- 

 ance of water power; but the industry is by no 

 means confined to that city or to any one sec- 

 tion of the state. 



Second in value are the timber products (see 

 Forests, above), and below these in value, but 

 still of considerable importance, are the dairy 

 products, the slaughtering and meat packing, 

 foundry and machine-shop products, linseed oil 

 and malt liquors. With a total value of manu- 

 factured products of almost $410,000,000, Min- 

 nesota ranks thirteenth among the states. 



Transportation. Of water routes the state 

 has an abundance. The Mississippi was very 

 important in the early days of the state's his- 

 tory, but with the growth of railways its im- 

 portance has declined. Not so with the Great 

 Lakes, however, on which traffic from Minne- 

 sota grows heavier from year to year. Duluth, 

 a small town but a few decades ago, is to-day
