linton Depot Company.

This company, organized by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul, Chicago, St. Paul g.
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sioux City, St. Paul,
Saltwater & Taylors Falls, St. Paul & Du-
luth, Northern Pacific and st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba companies, has for it's OBJ
ject the building of union passenger and
transfer depot for all the companies running
trains into st. Paul. The project is tempo
rarlly delayed, while the st. Paul, Minneap-
oils u Manitoba company is negotiating for
ground it considers it necessary to obtain
before surrendering the ground to be occu-
pied by the Union.Depe company The de-
lay was unexpected, the company being fully
prepared to begin it's structures, and it is
hoped now that the hitch will be removed 80
that the work may be begun early in the
spring, and prosecuted to completion during
the year.
THE GENERAL PL1N
For the depot is as follows: A building
with frontage of about 100 feet on Sibley
street, with depth of Ito to l2o feet, having
the general waiting room in the center, the
ladies' waiting room in one wing and the
baggage room and Offices in the other wing.
In rear of or east of this building will be the
train house, $50 by 500 feet, calculated to
hold nine trains An immediate capital of
$4,000 has been provided, to pay for the
land and begin the buildings and it is esti-
mated that the total expenditure on tho i'm
provement during 1880 will be about $780,
600.

But the operations of two dealers alone
in corn amounted to 700, 900 bushels in round
numbers, every bushel of which found
market through st. Paul, In addition to
those dealers st. Paul has dozen or moro
commission houses, all of whom purchase to
greater or less extent, the purchases of one
firm alone, none, of which went through
the elevator, amounting to 10000 bushels
for the year, to which add tho purchases of
other firms, bulked, $4,000 bushels in
round numbers, and we have the grand
showing of 1,171,52 bushels as the opera
tloas OF our dealers in corn the past year.
OATS.
The same trouble is experienced in get
ting absolute figures of the business in oats
as In the case of corn. Starting with the
elevator record, and we have 552, 46S bushels
received to the credit of various dealers.
But the largest individual dealer in cat re-
oeived the bulk of his supplies by river, not
pound going into the elevator, his. pur-
chase from this source alone amounting to
100000 bushels, while his rail purchases,
transferred from the track to his ware
house, swelled his purchases to 100000
bushels. He in turn sold to our commits
sion men aud other dealers
in considerable quantities, but all these were
liberal outside purchasers, larger part of
their transactions being outside of the eleva-
tor. the aggregate Of which purchases will
reach at least 100000 bushels mora, and we
have an aggregate of 1,252,4ss bushels of
oats for the year bought and sold by our
dealers.
Minnesota does not as yet make any great
claims as barley producing State. But
barley Is raised in considerable quantities in
some localities, and the bulk of it finds a
market through the hands of St. Paul deal
ers. The elevator record for the year is
1850. Another dealer reports purchases
| outside of the elevator of a., 900 bushels, an
other of $4,000, and others small amounts
aggrepating 10000, while the brewers have
taken some $4,000 bushels, giving 174,5oo
bushels for the year.
The aboye figures tell their own story, and
need no words of comment; but that their
fall force may be readily seen, We tabulate
the totals below:

COARSE GRAINS.

While st. Paul is making rapid strides
toward controlling the wheat trade of the
northwest, her entsrprising dealers are not
allowing themselves to lose sight of the
other grains, but are steadily and persistently
pushing their operations in the other great
staples of corn, oats an& barley. Owing to

cities by the Eau Claire and Menomonie
lumbermen required that large number OF
cars should be furnished solely for the lum-
ber trade. Since tho organization OF the
line, few months ago, 250 new cars,
especially constructed for tho trade have been
furnished, and by the middle of next
June the line will have 500 cars. At
present the deficiency of cars is made
up by using tho common cars of tho
companies interested. Should the business
demand 1t, and the present prospect is that
it probably will, other cars, other than the
500 first apportioned, will be provided as
fast as needed. Each of the companies in
theline will furnish its quota of cars. On
the outward trips they will carry lumber
only. On the return trips they may be used
for local traffic.
ITS VOLUME OF TRADE.
Since the line was organized the business
has increased rapidly, and it now
amounts to forwarding an average
Of nearly thirty car loads daily.
The manufacturers of Menomonie and Eau
Claire, having 80 large field or market
opened to them, propose to ship most of
their lumber by this line, and 1t Is estimated
that the line will take from the two points
during the year 1880, not less than 75,0Oo,-
600 feet, while about 81, OOO, 900 feet will also
GENE from other lumber manufacturing
points on the Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapo-
lis road. The value of this traffic to St. Paul
will be large though indirect. It will help
the railroads, enabling them to give greater
facilities and more encouraging rates for re-
turn shipments, and in that way develop and
stimulate large trade between st. Paul and
the lumber shipping country on the one
hand and between st. Paul and the lumber
buying (stock and grain producing) country
on the other. Indirectly, also, this transfer
traffic will assist to make st. Paul the great
lumber market of the Northwest. and it may
be regarded as probable that not many years
will pass before the buying and selling of
the lumber carried by this line will be mostly
at st. Paul, the natural place Of exchange
and the commercial and financial center.

Tho land grant Of this company lies in
southwestern Minnesota and northwestern
Iowa. and is designated on the principal
maps of this State by the alternate land
grant, sections being oolored red. II is q
magnificent body of we'll watered prairie
lands, with rich soil and climate adapted to
the full range of products of the northern part
OF the temperate Zone. drasshoppers, blight
and droutb, tor four successive years, have
retarded the settlement and DEVELOPMENT of
this region, but the early settlers have gone
through all these exceptional disasters with
out losing their faith or courage, and
most of them, by diversifying their
labors, have even prospered in spite
OF grasshoppers, blight and drouth. The
present winter ensures an abundant supply
OF moisture In the soil next season, and 1t
would be unnatural if any of the other dis
asters should soon recur. Last season con-
siderable immigration was turned into this
region, taking up nearly all the public
lands and several thousand acres of
the company's lands were sold
and contracted. Within a few years
several large colonies have settled upon the
company's lands and numerous fine blocks
have been taken by
WEALTHY STOCK BREEDERS
who have opened splendid farms. The re-
glon is perfectly adaKted to stock raising
and this has become principal industry
there; though the new settlers will now be
encouraged to go into wheat and other
grains extensively. Land Commissioner
Drake, who took charge of the department
in May last, has diligently advertised the
advantages of the country, taking for his
motto, with reference to the uniform success
which has attended the cultivators of corn
in the southwest counties: "When a man
goes where Indian corn won't grow, he is a
long way from home" The department is in
receipt of thousands of letters of
inquiry regarding its lands and it's
liberal terms of sale, and there
is every reason to expect that the coming
season there will be a larger sale of the COM
pany's lands, and larger immigration to
southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa
than ever before.

there being no board Of trade in st. Paul,
through which transactions are made, and
the further fact that only very small per-
eentage OF these grains passed through the
elevator, great trouble has been experienced
IN getting reliable figures of the
business the past year in these
grains. The record Of elevator GAP the

only for few months, is:

of the land department is with people of all
civilized nations. During the year 10000
descriptive pamphlets have been sent out,
mostly English, but many Scandinavian
and German. The applications for land and
the letters of inquiry received indicate that
there will be very large immigration in
1880, chiefly from the Eastern States. The
Irish Catholic colony in Swift county
has not received many additions this
year, but is making fine progress in other
respects. Arrangements have been com.
pleted for locating next spring q settlement
of Scotch farmers in Polk and Marshall
counties, on fourteen sections of land re-
served for them, each settler to take quar-.
ter section. An English gentleman has also
selected railroad lands for q score

are coming out with their families early

are in progress, with every indication of be-
ing afirmatvely closed during the next

Of land in Polk county, lately selected for

Cause and Cure of Snoring.

A writer in the Scientific Monthly tells
us how the habit of snoring is acquired
and, better-hOw it may be cured.
And, first, the cause: The air reach
es the lungs through two channels, the
nose and the mouth. The two currents
meet in the throat below the soft of
the palate, the end of which hangs
loose and swings backward and forward
producing The snoring. If the air reach
es the lungs, as it should, through the
nose, no noise will be made. If it reach
rs the same through the mouth, the
palate will make more noise, since it is
not the natural channel, but when it
rushes through both these channels, then
it is that the sound sleeper banishes
rest from the pillows of his companion
by his hideous noise. The remedy for
snoring is to keep the mouth closed
and for this purpose d. Wyeth, the
writer of the article referred to, has
invented an article so cheap that any
one can make it, and no snorer should
be without it. 1t consists of a single
cap, fitting the head snugly, and a piece
of soft material fitting the chin. These
are connected by elastic webbing, which
IL COHHeCteu Win lAe uedu-cap near
the ears. This contrivance prevents
the jaw from dropping down, and there
by renders snoring impossible. The
great trouble will be to get people TO
adopt this invention, since the most
upright and honest of men and women
will rarely, if ever, confess that they
snore, and will be very indignant if
accused of it. As further induce.
ment to the introduction of this con.
trivance of DR.. Wyeth, it may be
added that breathing through the
mouth is very detrimental to the health
and that many diseases of the throat
and lungs are contracted or aggravated
thereby.
