To Stop Wheat stealinx.

At the time of the conference of the
state officials with the Minneapolis
wheat men. looking to devising some
plan to check wheat stealing from cars
in Minneapolis railroad yards, it was
announced that the desired result would
probably be accomplished by the ap-
pointment of a sealer for each railroad
company-such sealer to be appointed
by the board of railway and warehouse
commissioners, and have power to ar.
rest any person found tampering with
the seal. This idea has been clabo-
rated, and will be adopted. The new
plan will 60 into effect about the first
OF the month. Each car will be in.
spected on arrival, and will then be
turned over to the sealer. who will
place his seal upon it, and this will not
be broken except upon presentation OF
the bill of lading. Neither sampler nor
consignee can gain access to a car after
it is sealed without having the docu.
ments to prove his right to do so.
