Minneapolis Lumberman: The
directors ofthe Minneapolis exposition
have evolved scheme to make a
manufacturing building, supplied with
power and to be operated the whole
year round, an adjunct to their plant,
the idea being that the building Of
this class would afford an opportunity
for small manufacturers desiring
small power and limited room st a
nominal rental. The scheme is a
good one as far as it goes. But the
thing the business men Of Minneapolis
should do, is to encourage the wood
working industries of every class by
every legitimate effort. AS a general
proposition the wood workers need a
great deal of room and locations
remote from the centre Of population,
and removed from districts where the
inflammable nature of their raw
material might cause disastrous fires.
But every branch Of wood working
established in Minneapolis thus far
has grown and prospered. The bust.
nessi is but in the infancy Of it,
development, if it is given the right
direction, and there is no branch Of
manufacture which promises such
good results if encouraged and nurtur.
ed. This is the opinion of every man
in any way connected with any branch
Of manufacture, the principal raw
material for which is found in our
native woods.

At one place there were thousands Of brant feed

number Of geese; geese were preferable to brants,
so they walked directly through the Jocks of
brants and among the geese. Suddenly the side
of the OK gave way. four barrels were DISCHARGED

DULUTH s. WINNIPEG.

Duluth Herald: Reports from the

and the grading will be easy.
A meeting Of the officers and direc-
tors of the Duluth 4 Winnipeg road
will be held in New York early in
November, at which very important
action will be taken. 1t is likely
that the future steps to be take by the

made plain. 1t is also expected
that steps will be taken
toward carrying out the roads
