The Largest Sheep Corral In

That the Twin City stock yards Is an
Industry that has come to stay was
proven TO the satisfaction of the Mime
apolis city councilmen and a large num-
Der of private citizens and capitalists,
who visited the plant yesterday upon
the invitation of President II. E. Fetch
er. of the stock yards company. While
the great point of interest was in the
packing house, careful inspection
showed the pens, which will accommo-
date 500 horses, 5000 cattle, TO-
600 sheep and 10000 hogs, were
constructed upon the most improved
plans aud the latest labor-savlng de-
vices for feeding. watering and hand
ling all kinds of stock had been intro
duced. The Twin City Packing COM
pany's big packing house is now in full
operation, and 80 heal of cattle, 200
hogs and 800 sheep are slaughtered
daily. Not only does this meat supply
the local markets of st. Paul and Min
neapolis, but already it has found its
way into and successfully completes
with the meat shipped from Chicago
and Kansas City. and owing to the fact
that the Twin City stock yards are 400
miles nearer the grazing country than
either Chicago or Kansas City the pro-
Jectors of the enterprise claim that it

attached to long handle. "A slight tap
between the horns and down drops the
steer in heap. A chain attached to a
steam winch is quickly fastened around
one of his hind legs and he is drawn
rapidly inside and up towards the roof
until his head Is about three feet from
the floor. Then man dressed in an OIL
skin coat cuts his throat, and in a few
minutes he is taken by the rippers, skim
ners and cutters, aud in twelve minutes
his carcass is being moved upon the over
head tracks towards the cooling house.
SO rapidly and Systematically do the men
work that they say they can have an
entire beef dressed in twelve minutes
after he is drawn into the pen.
The hogs are driven up an easy incline
to the third story. Then his pigship's
throat is cut in scientific manner, and
he is slid down INTO tank of scaidipg
water, and from there to a scraping
block, where he is quickly cleaned.
Then he goes to the cutters and in
almost an incredible space of time he is
Slid down into the cooling rooms and is
ready for shipment.
Adjoining the packing house owned
by the stock yards company Is that of
the Minneapolis Provision company.
Their plant is now being completed, and
is said to contain more modern improve
ments than any other packing house in
the world. Attached to this plant is an
improved process for rendering lard. for
which Alexander w. Winter, of Chica-
go, has made an offer, but it was init
mated yesterday that the provision com
pany knew when they had good thing
and that they were not very anxious to
sell. The fat from the hogs is thrown
into chutes which carry it to large
rendering yats. After that the lard is
carried through pipes into the various
processes to which it is subjected before
being packed for shipment. One thing
is noticeable about the packing houses
and that is the cleanliness of the whole
concern. Although on the floors where

pounds of meat to st. Paul. zoe, 900
pounds to Minneapolis, 100000 pounds
to the various cities in the Northwest,
and 2,0OO,00O pounds to the East. These
hgures show that although the enter
prise is young, it is very vigorous, and
promises to make Minneapolis famous.
The company is shipping beef to the
Eastern market in their own refrfger-
ator cars, which are painted a bright
yellow, and are said to have attracted
considerable attention on account of
the various improvements which have
been introduced. Close to the stock
yards are the Slaughter houses of the
local butchers, who receive their supply
OF cattle from the yards.
About a mile further up the road is
the sheep corral of the New Brighton
Live Stock company. Rice creek flows
through the corral which is both dog
and wolf proof, and 10000 head of sheep
can be accommodated inside the in
closure at one time. At present there
are 10000 head being fattened for the
market. They are fed on wheat screen
ings from self-feeding troughs. which
contain tons of feed. The colder the
weather, the better the sheep thrive.
Those now In the corral are Montana
merinos, and the aldermen all declared
they were as fine looking flock as were
ever brought to Minnesota. Everybody
was pleased with the trip, and ali
united in prophecying brilliant future
for the enterprise visited.

A HUGE CONTRACT.
The Sprague Company Gets tn
Electric RAILWAY Contract.

The Sprague Company Gets the
Electric Railway Contract.
AS result of Thomas LOwry's buSi-
ness trip to New York, the Sprague
company has been given the contract
for electric equipments for 200 miles of
road in Minneapolis and st. Paul, at a
cost in round figures of $2,0O0.000. A
contract had already been closed with
the Laclede Car company, of st. Louis,
for the furnishing OF 120 cars, and
now general system of electric street
railway III the win Cities is an assured
fact. There seems to be little diver
sity OF opinion i'll regard to the furnish
ing OF the motive power for running the
several lines. President Chadbourne,
of the Edison Electric Light and Power
company, claims that the coia-
pany has contract with Mr..
Lowry to supply tile power for the
street railway. On the other hand,
the railway company says that 1t will
operate its own electric plants, and that
central station will be built i'll each of
the Twin Cities for the generation of
electrical power.
In regard to the cars to be run by the
company, Mr. Wise says that the La
clede company will furnish sixty open
cars for summer, and sixty closed ones
for winter. They Will be eighteen and
One-half feet long in the body, or two
and One-half feet longer than the cars at
present in service, and will be elabo-
rately finished In antique oak. The open
ears will have an aisle through the cen
ter and the double seats Will run at
right angles with the length of the car
as i'll railway coaches. The summer
cars are to be completed and shipped to
Minneapolis by June l, and by sept. l
the closed cars will be shipped to Min
neapoliS ready for winter service.
lie said that the railway company
would send its Own representatives to
st. Louis to oversee the construction of
the cars, aud see to it that in superior
ity of workmanship and finish they
would be second TO none in the country.
1t mad been originally intended to alter
the old horse cars for use as electric
cars. but the plan was finally aDan-

Anderson. and Kicker and Carlson, who
are said to have made these allegations,
claim to have got the facts from Ander-

Anderson has been questioned re-
garding this story, and, while he did
not plainly admit ii. he would not deny
1t. He did, however, tacitIy admit the
truth of the story, but refused to di-
