of 100000 bushels. The officers of the
company are, G. H. Bigelow, president;
D. w. Ingersoll, ice-president; w S.
Zimmerman, secretary and manager; and
VIM. Dawson, treasurer. Mr. Zimmerman
has his Office in Elevator A, from which
he has communication by telephone with
Elevator B and the several railway offices
of the city.
The construction and furnishing were
under the immediate supervisor of Messrs.
Bigelow and Zimmerman, whose aim was
to ensure that all the material, apparatus,
machinery and mechanical work should
be the best obtainable 1t is related, as
an instance of their care, that one of
these gentlemen, having learned that the
concrete was not absolutely moisture
proof, studied out how best to bed the
boiler iron receiving pits SO as to protect
them from moisture and hit upon hot
pitch concrete in which they are so firm
ly bedded that it would be miners job
to move them, while they are thoroughly
protected from dampness.
Including grounds, ten and half
acres, the cost of Elevator B is placed,
in round numbers, at $175,000. The
buildings have been placed and railway
tracks laid with view of erecting, when
ever business shall require it, a duplicate
of Elevator B to be operated by the same
engines.

ping values would justify. This is
accountable for by most of the farmers
in this region, and north and west of us,
devoting their lands and labor principal
ly to wheat, and not unfrequently failing
to raise enough corn and oats for their
own stock. Flax seed has heretofore
been regarded as bad stuff to handle and
was required by railroad companies and
warehouses be be sacked This became a
serious matter when flax was made one of
the leading products of the southwest
counties of Minnesota and adjoining sec
tions of Iowa and Dakota Finally, last
fall some of the railroads consented to
receive flax seed in bulk and simulta-
neously the st. Paul Elevator company
announced its readiness to receive flax
seed in store. The experiment has
proved that fax seed doesn harm cars or
bins and that it can be handled and stored
in bulk as well as any other grain.

ders they receive are filled at and shipped
directly from the mills. The leading lum
bermen of northeast Minnesota and north
west Wisconsin are already making most
of their sales through agencies here and
the demand which is thus centered at ST.
Paul will sooner or later lead other lum-
bermen to follow the example. The plan
manifestly has its advantages in the usual
greater conveniences of sorting and dry
ing lumber at or near the mills, and in
the saving of expense of buying or leas-
ing large tracts of valuable land in or
near the city. This branch of the trade
has employed all the cars obtainable in
shipments to fill the orders taken at St.
Paul from the mills and mill yards along
the West Wisconsin and North Wiscon-
sin roads, from Saltwater and from way
points on the St. Paul 6 Duluth road
Other lumber sellers, however-engaged
in supplying dealers-have found it to
their interest to establish lum-
Der depots here and are
shipping from this point. The most no
table investment in this line is that of the
Nelson numbering company which has es-
tablished large lumber depot, occupy
ing forty acres of ground, at POSTS Siding
on the eastern border of the city and has
built and put in operation mill for plan
ing and finishing lumber. This company
will soon put in operation at Knife Falls
one of the largest saw mills in the West,
and will send it's product with that of the
other mills of the company to the ST. Paul
depot. Negotiations are pending for land
in the western part of the city for depot
for the largest mills of the st. Croix val
lev, the lumber from which is now most
ly sold here.
