Twelve representative st. Paul retail
lumbermen visited Minneapolis Tuesday
afternoon and held a fraternal meeting
in the Board Of Trade rooms, Lumber
Exchange building. The meeting had
been called at the request of the St. Paul
dealers, who, in addition to establishing
more friendly relations with the Mime
apolis lumbermen, wish to reach some
understanding with the latter whereby
they would agree not to cut into the ter
ritory of the former. The subject was
informally discussed by those present
and the Minneapolis lu nbermen, as q
body agreed not to attempt to compete
with the St. Paul dealers in the lumber
trade of that city, except in particularly
large deals which may be entered into. -
&c. De Miles comedy drama ''Tt Q
Lost Paradise" will be presented at the
Grand the first three nights OF next week
and Wednesday matinee, with Mr.. Viii
liam Morris in the leading role. The
play has been seen at the same theatre
before, about year and half ago, and
gave excellent satisfaction. It's story
deals with the labor question in a pointed,
yet consist ent and effective manner, and
is so cleverly worked out that neither
party to the controversy which separates
the capitalist and his employees need feel
chagrined at the outcome. PLAN truths
are spoken on both sides, and although
the author did not feel it incumbent on
him to sail in and suggest permanent
remedy for the settlement of all labor
dissensions he succeeded in modest
way in laying bare the methods by which
a great deal OF the oft-recurring trouble
could be forestalled.
! The Minneapolis Exposition Company
may not be compelled to make an assign
ment on February ~ after all. George
W. jerks, of the reorganization commit
tee, says that subscriptions are coming
in quite freely in response to the circular
sent out by the committee. So far they
are mostly from the small stockholders,
who seem to have stronger desire to
protect themselves than ths larger ones
do. Mr.. jerks is of the opinion that the
building and the ground which it occu-
pies can be- readily sold for more than
enough money to discharge the out
standing liabilities, leaving q valuable
frontage of 500 feet on Main street to be
disposed of afterwards, aad the proceeds
divided among those stockholders who
come into the reorganization scheme
He says it is ridiculous to suppose that
five acres of land in the heart OF the city
building which cost $325,00O and $780,
