The building which will be used for
paintjng tue parts of the machines was
next visited. In this place the greater
norton of the manufactured product
will lee brought for the purpose OF being
covered with a coating OF paint. 1t Is
thought by many that the painting or
machinery is for purely decorative pur-
poses, but it was explained 10 the WISH,
Ors Yesterday that the covering OF WOOD
and iron with paint tends to increase It's
age and preserve ii, as the OIL and Iead
used in the paint protects II from the
elements.
I he visitors we're then taken back to
the train, after a scattering VISIT 10
points af special interest. Several OF
them climbed TO the roof of the wood
working building, where an eXcellent
view could be obtained OF the entlre
plant. There was strong breeze oioW-
Ing. however, and as the ram was QrlZ-
Zling in quantities, they dld not
care to remain for any length OF time:
They then returned to the train ana
were brought back to the city.

works were the following named: w.

gathering of st. Paul business men,
ana they all appeared to appreciate the
magnitude OF the work which had been
done.
Reports from the managers OF the
various departments were received ana

the handling of the surplus real estate
and the construction of the 400 dwelling
houses for the accommodation or the
WOrkmen in the hands of trustees 10 De
elected by the directors at some future
date. The buildings will be erected at
