To Commemorate the Deeds
Of Prominent Public
Citizens.
The Patrol Line, the City
Parks, Winter Sports and
Exposition,
With H. & D. Tunnels, All to
Be Treasured in
Bronze.

Ungrateful Minneapolis! Not single
monument lifts its marble shaft to
heaven within the limits of the city
After all the noble deeds of men of
MinneapOliS-deeds which will them
selves live after the age which begot
them shall have been forgotten-not a
chip of marble, not an ounce of bronze
shows the outpOuring of grateful hearts.
But it will not long be so. The GLOBE
is able TO announce, on authority that is
beyond dispute, that movements are
now on foot looking TO the erection
and unwilling of several monu-
mentS of rich and appropriate designs
TO commemorate the noble deeds of as
many distinguished citizens. These
meetings were held during the week
behind double-locked doors, but the de-
tails leaked out yesterday. Not only
was the GLOBE put in possession of all
the facts, but was able to secure, in adj
vance, the proposed designs. They all
are noble. The public squares of Min
neapoliS will soon be Ornamented by a
number of sublime statues, executed by
the finest talent of Europe and dedi-
Gated amid the thunderous acclaim Of
the delighted populace.

grain the whole car is graded as the
poorest grain found in it. The inspec-
tors are appointed by the warehouse
commission, and are paid out of the fees
charged for inspecting. Their rating of
wheat stands, and any one who feels
hurt by their decision must appeal to
the commission.
7. Cats are generally found around the
big elevators, and the small ones, too, in
large numbers, and at first thought one
would think they were there simply as
ornaments. Such is not the case, for
they are about as necessary as the en-
plOyes themselves. Fat. sleek cats, of
all sizes and cOlors, may be seen sitting
around under the bins and shafts any
day. Now and then cat will make a
jump, faint squeak is heard and one
more rat has departed this life. Around
an elevator, as around a mill, there are
millions of rats, from the small gray
ones to the big dark river rats. In the
course of year the damage these pests
will do, if left alone, is something
enormous. A small hole chewed in a
wheat bin will let out an immense
amount of wheat III a short time, and if
a rat makes an opening between two
bins there is apt to be some harsh Ian
guage used by the elevator men. The
cats that are kept around an elevator
earn their living by hard work, and no
/ one envieS them the dainty dishes they
receive occasionally.

pours into the sink in golden stream.
After large amount of wheat has gone
into the sink the elevator" consisting
of large belt, to which is attached on
the outside, iron scoops or buckets, is
brought into service. This belt passes
over a pully at the lower end of the
sink, and as the scoops come up they
fill with wheat and carry it up into the
elevator, where it is dropped into bin,
where it Is weighed.
The natural flow of the grain from
the car being unlOaded soon ceases, and
then the wheat has to be shoveled
into the sink. Common shOyes are not
used for this purpose, as it would take
too long to do that work that way. A
workman brings into the car two large
wooden plates, one of which he hands
to an assistant. Two ropes, which hang

THE CH1TTES-


the wheat that finds its way out Of the
elevator and falls upon the railroad
track. They are generally fat and
sleek, and the employees at the elevator
eat many nice dinner into which
squads enter largely.
To one unaccustomed to elevators the
sight inside the building is a pleasing
one, as well as bewiIdering in the ex-
treme. The air Is filled with dense,
light dust, and the whirring of big
wheels and shafts browns all other
noise. Let us start with the taking of
the wheat from car which stands along
side the elevator on the sidewalk.

A party of twenty-five well-known
citizens met the other night at the ex-
position Office and were called to order
by IL. Jay Smith, who stated that the
object6f the assemblage was to decide

exposition-who had made the first sug-

ruled, and it was decided to erect
the monument to Regain. COnsid-

els of wheat are stored there, but if
asked to tell how it is handled or what
process it goes through they would not
be able to do so. Even many of the
merchants who yearly handle vast
amounts of the cereal could give no idea
of how it is stored. All they know is
that they send carload of certain
kind to be stored, they get carload of
the same kind and quantity when they
call for it. Thus, all they know about
elevators is that they pay storage
charges and get receipt for so much
wheat. In Minneapolis these elevator
wheat receipts are as good as gold at
any time, and may be deposited at some
OF the banks as if they were green
backs. Occasionally a man from
the country will come in to the
office and want to know where his
wheat is. On being told that it is some
where in the building he is liable to
manifest considerable surprise and re-
mark that he thought each mans wheat
was kept in a separate bin. Such is
not the case, however. There are
number of large bins in the elevator,
one or two, as the case may be, for each
grade of grain. Then, when a load of
wheat is received, it goes into one of
these bins, no matter whether there

THE PATROL LIMITS.
A Handsome Figure TO immortal
iZe the Originator.

Last Thursday evening a party of a
dozen gentlemen assembled in a book
office on the third floor of the Harmon
building on Fourth street. Gen. A. B.
Nettleton presided and Aid. Ed john
son acted as secretary. Capt. j. n.
Cross stated the objects of the meeting,
as follows:
lit is proud day for me, gentlemen,
to greet so intelligent and tony a set,
gathered for so worthy purpose. We
are assembled here this evening to dis
cuSs the proposition to erect a statue
concentrating the establishment in
Minneapolis of the patrol limits. The
plan, in brief, is to preserve. in durable
bronze, our honOred ex-mayor, George
A. Pillsbury, who was the father of our
blessed dead line system. Let us hear
suggestions, gentlemen, touching the
design"
Several speeches followed, and as a
result an admirable design was Sc
leeted. 1t represents Mr.. Pillsbury

HOnors for Ed A. Stevens in a

The Eighth ward people are never be-
hind the times. They have the monu-
ment fever and have it bad. For long
time they have debated upon the fittest
citizen to immOrtalize, and only yester-
day agreed upon subject. At one time
they thought of rearing monument to
Gen. WaShburn-thes same kind of mon
ument that was raised to the memory
of Col. Blethen last October, but it blew
over just as the flames blew through
the colonel's side whiSkers. Finally
it has been decided in one con-
tingency to make Ed Stevens famous.

his right hand and the left one thrust
behind him, as though to pluck a ker-

voted to erect it on the site of Al

monument idea first took hold, it was
suggested that as Mr.. Loring was
the father of the park system.
OF at least a foster-father, it would be
brilliant idea to erect monument to
him-an honor few men have while
they live. The meeting which formu-
lated the plan was held at the office of
George A. Bracket, and was presided
