RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS RE
TURN FROM AN INSPECTION
OF THE STRUCTURE.
ABOUT FINISHED AT BUFFALO
SOME ADDITIONAL AND INTER-
EsTING PARTICULARS ABOUT
THE VAST STOREHOUSE,
TALK OF ONE FOR NEW york.
This Would Obviate the Possibility
of Manipulating the Wheat of
the Great Northwest.

Gen. Becker and Secretary Teisberg.
OF the state railroad and warehouse
commission, and Chief Grain Inspector
Clausen, who left last week for Buff
falo to inspect the big Great Northern
grain elevator at that place, returned
home yesterday morning enthusiastic
over the wonderful new institution
Judge Mills went on to New York
while Commissioner Kingsley stopped
off for brief stay in Cleveland
The ST.. Paul men were received by
General Manager w. c. Harrington,
of the elevator company, and spent
some four or five hours making a tour
of the mammoth building which is all
but completed, and whose capacity is
already either taxed or engaged to be
used later. The Buffalo men took part
in receiving the commission, and in
the evening of the day spent in the
place, entertained thir visitors in the
Buffalo club Mr.. Clausen tells some
thing Of the vast storehouse upon
which there are still some 200 men at
work 1t is absolutely indestructible
being built of brick and stone. This
fact has reduced the rate of insurance
from 81 and 1925 per $1O0, to as low as
25 cents, a wonderful saving to the
man who ships and stores large guam
titles of wheat Then again the
charge for storage and elevating in
the Monarch of Elevators" as Mr.
Clausen calls it, is but Is of cent per
bushel, instead of ~ cents, as was
formerly charged by the other elevator
companies in Buffalo. There are at
present over 100000 bushels of grain
stored in the immense bins, while the
full capacity, which is 100000, has
been engaged for future use. The big
building is heated and lighted and the
machinery run by electricity which is
now secured from a local power house,
but which in a week will be furnished
from the great Niagara plant some
twenty three miles distant
D. A. Robinson, the designer and
builder of the elevator expects that it
will be finished within two weeks,
when he will come home to st. Paul.
It is understood in Buffalo that Presi-
dent Hill intends as soon as prac-
ticable to secure, under such cOndi-
tons as will make it a part of the
Great Northern system, connection via
the Erie canal from Buffalo to New
York, where there will be constructed
a second monster terminal elevator.
The purpose of this will be to obviate
the possibility of manipulating the
wheat of the great Northwest, and
preserve it in it's maiden strength and
purity until it reaches the foreign
market The statement is made that
the New Workers like the idea so we'll
that the city has already rendered Mr..
Hill the necessary land upon which
the elevator may be constructed.

WINONA, Mimi, Nov. IA farmer
named ABBY, who resides near Winona,
has just returned from a strange visit
to La Crosse. The gentleman eX-
planned the nature of his visit to sew
eral prominent citizens there and So
licited their interest in his mission.
In 1859 he says, his father and family
took a packet at some Southern point
and started for Winona with the OBJ
ject of settling there. The old man
had a considerable sum of money about
him, and this excited the cupidity of
the rOustabouts. One night when the
boat was in the vicinity of La Crosse
they made a combined attack upon him
for the purpose of robbery, and, in the
scuff1e which followed, he was thrown
into the river and drowned.
When the boat got to Winona, the
distracted wife told the story of the
murder. and the boat was held here
for three days, While an investiga
ton was conducted. AT the end of that
time nothing had been accomplished.
and the boat was allowed to go on its
way. Later on the family employed a
man named named Toilet FIadeland,
fellow cOuntryman, to prosecute the
packet company for damages, and soon
after that he disappeared. Nothing
was heard of him for over thirty years,
but this fall young ABBY. now a man
of forty years, located him out West
and learned that he was rich.
He now believes that Fladeland made
q good settlement with the company,
pocketed the money and made off, and
Aaby's visit to La Crosse yesterday
was to learn something that will aid
him in proving his suspicious about
the man. He saw Chief of the Court
Brown. Capt Vol Bigelow, Capt. Moul-
ton, Judge Hubbard and others, but,
owing to the time since the murder
occurred, they could give him little or
no information about it.

ADVERTISING ON CARS.
Proposition Received From Firm
for Billboard Privileges.

"You give us the space on the side
of your box cars for advertising pur-
poses and we will agree to keep your
cars painted" This was the substance
OF a proposition received yesterday by
the general manager of one of the big
roads in this city from an enterprising
Eastern chap who has a scheme,
which to say the least, is certainly
unique.
His plan is to secure advertising
from firms who believe in exploiting
the advantages Of their wares over
the country, and using these box cars
as the medium. The cars, the letter
explains, are to be adorned by can
vases five feet in height and extend
ing the length of the car, upon which
will be reproduced the subjects which
the old masters struggled with. He
glibly explains that there is no dis
figurement, but that the residents
along the right of way will be RECALLED
with an ever changing, if rapidly
moving panorama of fin de steele art.
For being allowed to do all this for
advertiser and right of way residents
this gentleman proposes to keep the
cars well supplied with paint when
needed.
In few cases railroads now allow
firms who ship large quantities of stuff
to paint their trademarks upon a GER
tain number of cars which they agree
to keep painted. They are, as a rule,
brewers, lumbermen, furniture manu-
facturers, etc, but if the plan were to
become general one might see a re-
frigerator car adorned with repro
duction of Dante's Inferno done in
vermillion, or a life size copy of Mil
let's The Angelus" might to good adj
vantage be displayed on a car con-
signed by a casket manufacturing con-
Germ. Even the stock cars might be
utilized and what would be more ap-
propriate for train load of horses
than that one car should bear a fac
smile of that masterpiece of Nelson
Ter 1907" Some of Bougereau's
studies of the nude should be capital
to illustrate the comfort to be gotten
out of the product of some Klondike
outfit manufacturer, and although they
might not be at first appreciated along
the right of way, the standard of art
could hardly fail to be elevated as the
acquaintance with this moving art
gallery improved.
At all events the road which re-
ceived the letter will for the time be-
ing attend to the painting and deco
rating Of its own box cars.

SECRET RATE CUTTING
Likely to BE Followed In the Near
Future by Open War.


CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Western
lines have overcome a difficulty In the
way of selling interchangeable mile
age tickets that at one time threat
ened to cause them serious embarrass-
ment. The matter related to the sell
ing of the tickets at the union ticket
offices. After considering the matter
it was decided that all of the tickets
sold out of union ticket offices shall
bear the name of some one road which
Is member of the Western Passenger
association, and this road will ac count
to the others for the amount of mile
age used over their lines. 1t is the
opinion Of Chairman Caldwell that this
arrangement will prevent any con-
fusion over the matter.
The situation on Eastern freight
rates continues to grow worse instead
of better, and there are no signs of
Improvement Nearly all Of the roads
declare that their competitors are cut
ting rates in defiance of all agree
ments to the contrary, and from this
situation to open reductions is only a
short distance. 1t is said that the at
tention of the Joint Traffic association
will be called to the matter and if it
does not bring up the worst offenders
with round turn it is likely that an
open war in rates will be the result
The refusal Of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf to become a member
of the Southwestern Passenger asso-
citation is considered by the majority
of the Chicago lines interested in the
traffic in that part of the country to
practically destroy all hope of forming
any association at all. The Pittsburg
& Gulf has announced that it has no
intention of being a disturber of rates
and that there will be nothing in it's
methods to prevent the other roads
from going on with their association
if they desire to do So Notwithstand-
ing this frank declaration it is not at
all probable that the Chicago lines
which have. strong interests in the
Southwest will become members of the
Southwestern association if the Pitts
burg and Gulf remains on the outside
and this may mean that there will be
no associa ton.

REDS as CONTRACTORS.
They Prepare for Cutting Timber
the Reservation.


DULUTH, Mimi, Nov 11.-Nebenetic.
a Bass lake Indian, is here to arrange
q contract for cutting 100000 feet of
timber on the Winnibigoshish reserva-
ton, under the plans of the Indian de-
partment Contracts for cutting timber
on the White Earth and Winnibigosh-
ish reservations will be let to the In
dams themselves, and no others An
indian who desires a contract must
contract for the sale of the lumber at
a certain price per 1000 delivered on
the bank of a lake or stream. Fifteen
per cent of the sale price will be de-
Quoted for the tribe, in payment for
stumpage, and the remainder will go
to the contractor In case the Indian
has not sufficient means with which to
purchase a camp outfit, provision is
made for advancing the necessary
amount, either by the government or
the purchaser of the logs.
There are now about twenty five ap-
plications in by Indians for contracts
on the Winnibigoshish reservation, but
no one Indian will be given a contract
for a greater amount than he is able
to put in during the winter. 1t is eX-
pected that about 100000 feet on Win
nibigOshish and neighboring reserva-
lions will be cut this winter, all by
ChippeWas. Il will be the biggest job
ever undertaken by the Indians of
these or any other United States reser-
