WHEAT MARKETS.
Saint Paul and Red Wing.
VISIT OF THE SAINT PAUL COMMITTEE

From the St. Paul Pioneer.
The Wheat Warehouse Committee is
not idle, by any means. Two of their
number, Messrs. Dawson and Hewitt,
visited Red Wing, and returned yester-
day, full of wheat statistics. From them
we gathered some items that may inter-
est our readers.
They found the streets Of Red Wing
alive with business. The stores, shops,
sidewalks, and everyplace, gave evidence
of a thrifty trade. They walked out on to
some residence streets, and found them
crowded with teams going and coming
from the country, reminding one Of the
avenues to our Driving Park during State
Fair week. They counted in single
train, thirty-two sled loads Of wheat, and
were told that the teams from Feather
stone Prairie were on their way, and in a
train nearly y mile long! No wonder
Red Wing is to-day called the banner
wheat market of Minnestoa- the Uni
ted States of the world! It's said there
is no place in this, or any other country
into which teams draw 50 much wheat.
No wonder the citizens of Red Wing are
proud Of their record in this matter.
They have good reason for that sort of
pride that becomes manly nature. Proud
Of their own achievements in the devel-
opment of a wheat market in which every
man interested in our State should re-
joice.
From twenty to thirty thousand bush
els Of wheat arrive by sleds daily. They
have now in store over six hundred thous-

Red Wing Coopcring.


This is branch of business which
has just fairly commenced developing,
the business increasing as Touring mills
have increased in numbers. The larger
manufactory is owned by Capt. 0.
Eames. It is situated on Bluff street.
There are two buildings occupied, one
building being "a by sc feet- and the
other consisting Of two parts, one part
being 20 by 40 feet and the other part
36 by 49 feet. The two buildings af-
ford abundant capacity for the employ
ment of twenty-four men, with storage
capacity for material, &C., for making
two thousand barrels per week. Ten
men are now employed and turn out $50
barrels per day. Mr.. Eames has the con-
tract for furnishing all the barrels used
by the Red Wing Mills and other con-
tracts that will compel him to run the
whole capacity Of his shops during the
season, and he proposes to commence max
ing eighteen hundred barrels per week as
soon as the Red Wing Mills get to run.
ming their full capacity. Mr.. Glarden
is the foreman Of these shops and has
the business under his direction, doing
nothing but to superintend and direct.
In connection with these shops Capt.
Eames owns two mills for preparing ma
terial for manufacture. Both of these
mills are situated in Pierce Co., Wis
mill for making heading at Trimbelle
and one for slaves at Ellsworth. The
stave mill was moved to Ellsworth las,
fall on account Of the difficulty of get.
ting good timber at the Trimbelle. In
these two mills twenty-cne men are en-
ployed. Mr.. Eames is having delivered
at these mills between ten and twelve
hundred cord of heading bolts and two
thousand cords of stave bolts, and pro-
poses to make, during the coming year,
one hundred and twenty thousand sets
of slaves and heads, or in other words
sufficient Of slaves and heads for 120, 900
barrels.
Capt. o. Eames, the proprietor Of
these shops and mills is farmer; living
on his farm about four miles from Red
Wing. He devotes himself quite large
ly to the raising Of stock, poultry, and
vegetables, and runs at Red Wing, in
partnership with Mr.. McKinstry,
meat market, which is largely supplied
with meats, eggs and butter raised or
made by Mr. Eames on his farm.
Capt. Eames has general supervision
of all his different branches of business
but gives his special attention to hi
farm having practical experienced men
in charge of the other branches of his
business.
Mr.. Geo. Reichert operates cooper
shop on Third street. His building is
20 feet front by sixty feet deep, having
been enlarged by the erection Of the
second story during the past year. In
this shop six men are now employed and
turn out seventy-five barrels per day.
We understand that Mr.. Reichert in
tends soon to employ additional force
and increase his manufactures.

DR.. W. w. SWEENEY Of this place
attended the funeral of Dr. J. K. Reiner,
Of Saltwater, on Thursday last. DR..
Reiner was one Of the oldest physicians
in the State, was twice Senator from
his county in the Legislature. He was
an active educator and chairman of the
Board of Education of his city. The
public schools were closed for one week
in honor of his memory, and flags hung
at half mast upon the school buildings.
The CHAMPION HEN.-A Zumbrota
hen has been trying to discount the Far
ibault hen.. The hen is the property of
W. r. Chase, and her first attempt in the
contest for the championship, is an egg
six and three-eights inches in circumfer-
ence, by eight and half inches around
the long way. But in her attempt at
bigness, she neglected the shell, and in
handling, the egg broke, and revealed two
complete eggs, and her cunning trick:
She evidently had been taking lessons in
how much may be accomplished by COM
binatiOn.

The GoodalI, Nelson & Perkins Line.

The steamers of this line have now
for some time been making regular
trips between our port of Wilmington
and San Francisco, and are rapidly
growing into favor. The Monterey Is
the first steamer of any line to make
regular trips from the wharf, thus OBJ
Waiting the necessity of lighterage.
The company is doing all in its power
to accommodate the public, and their
steamers are being improved so as to
bring them fully UP to the require
ments of the trade. The Santa Bar
bara Lnder learns from Mr.. Wolfson,
the agent of the line at that place that
the Ventura and Wyanda are now in
the docks at San Francisco and are
being altered by the putting in of
powerful compound engines with SUI
per-heater boilers. These vessels are
to be finished in about two months
from this time, and guarantee has
been entered into that they will run
from San Francisco to Santa Barbara
in twenty hours, with q saving of IS
per cent of fuel and gaining Is per
cent in speed
We have been informed that the
name Of the Wyanda will be changed,
and that out of compliment to our
city, she will on her return to service
be christened the clos Angeles This
will no doubt commend her to the
favor of our people and help to con-
vince them that the line is a perma-
nent one.

The Plaza.

If it be in order, we would call the
attention of our City Fathers to the
present dismantled condition of our
plaza. Like Mark Twain's "Baalbec,"
it is most magnificent ruin. The
fence is down in some places, the
ground is overgrown with rank weeds
and the fountain is very nearly in that
poetical state of dilapidation described
by Hood:
"The fountain was a-dry-neglect and time
Had marred the work of artisan and mason,
And efts and croaking frogs, begot of slime,
Sprawled in the ruin BASIN"
This state of affairs may be very ro-
mantle and all that, but it does not
conduce to the credit of city visited
annually by thousands Of people from
every part of the world.
Let us have a small appropriation
to improve the plaza, and thus add to
the good looks, health and happiness
of Los Angeles.

Hellman were appointed as commit
tee mentioned in the resolutions.
On motion of Mr.. Newmark it was
voted that the Chamber subscribe one
hundred dollars towards the building
of this road.
DR.. Griffin stated that several gen.
tlemen engaged in the culture of semi
tropical fruits had requested him to
lay before the Board the subject of
opening correspondence with the Ag-
ricultural Department at Washington
for the purpose of securing new and
improved varieties of fruits adapted to
this section, with the best methods of
culture, etc.
Mr.. Newmark said that r. j. Rose
is intending to go East soon, and sug-
gested that he be requested to act as
a committee to attend to this matter
for the Chamber.
Motion was then made to this effect
and carried.
Mr.. Newmark was appointed COM
mittee to prepare letters and creden-
tials for Mr.. Rose.
The name of j. BiXley was proposed
for membership in the Chamber and
passed by full vote.
President Lazard then stated that
the Chamber of Commerce of San
Francisco is DESTROYS of securing copies
of resolutions passed by this Chamber
and of noting our various actions, for
the purpose of working in conjunction
with us in our efforts for the develop
ment of this section.
After some informal discussion the
Board adjourned.

Temperance Lectures.

We have received a note from DIR.
Haskell of San Francisco asking us to
note the fact that he will lecture in
this city on Sunday, April 10th. The
Doctor has been lecturing up the coun-
try, and seems to have made favor
able impression. At Grass Valley he
has been very favorably received, as
the following from the Union of the
goth will testify:
DR.. Haskell continues to amuse, en-
terrain and instruct large audiences
here. His lectures are delivered at the
Methodist church, and each lecture is
better than the preceding one. His
audiences therefore increase each
night. DIR. Haskell is not the fanatic
that many suppose him to be, although
he is very thoroughly in earnest on
the subject Of temperance and reform.
He has charity, good will and good
feeling for those who are commonly
denounced as sinners. He wants the
sinners to attend his talks. He is not
going to pass them by on the other
side

Meeting Of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce pursuant to call for spe-

office of the District Judge. The Di-
rectors present were Messrs. S. Lazard,
HI. w. Hellman, M. J Newmark, p.
Beaudry, DR.. J. S. Griffin and J. w.
Lord.
President Lazard took the chair
shortly after o'clock and called the
meeting to order.
The President then stated that he
had conferred with Mr.. Cox of the Pa
cific Mail Line, and that that gentle
man had signified his intention to
have the Panama steamers touch at
any one of our adjacent harbOrs which
would furnish sufficient capacity.
r. G. Jacobs from the new mines
at Panamint was then introduced to
the Board by Mr.. Newmark. Mr..
Jacobs gave most favorable account
of the new mines in question together
with their advantages for working, al
most eXhaustless resources and easy
access. He stated that with $500 or
$4,000 at his command he would guar
antee to have the six miles of road
necessary for opening communication
with these mines ready for travel
within six meeks,.
Mr.. Newmark then offered the fol-
lowing series of resolutions which
were carried by unanimous vote:
Whereas, From information brought
before this Chamber it appears that
the new mines of Panamint are devel-
oping great wealth and that they are of
sufficient extent to sustain q large
population, and
Whereas, it is believed that direct
communication with Los Angeles
would secure to this city and county
great commercial advantages with
that mining district and in order to
complete which communication it is
necessary to open and construct a

of the Five-mile House had filled the
bird about half iull of No. 4 shot, and
a San Bernardino freight team or two
had passed over it-leaving it pretty
essentially dead before Jim found it.
But the shot was good one, and it is
far from our purpose to detract from
his honors by contradicting his oft re-
peated story of last evening that he
was the veritable slayer.
