have ready robustness about Feb 10.
Those who availed themselves of the
invitation were not only the big bugs
of the South St. Paul institutions, but
all branches of the business. Among
those who were in the train which
pulled out of the st. Paul union sta
ton at 1890 o'clock yesterday were:

Some Minneapolis gentlemen had
gone out on the regular train and
nearly 100 were in the party which
after having alighted at the station
made a short excursion through the
packing house where a large force of
men were at work upon important re-
pairs and cnlargementS. They gradu-
ally drifted over to the Exchange build
ing, which, besides affording accommo-
datiOnS for a bank, a dozen Offices
a printing Office and railroad office.
leaves room enough for a nice hotel
A force of painters had been renovat-
ing the Exchange, and where they were
through with their work, it was very
inviting.
A luncheon Of cold turkey, sa1a DIS
and other edIbles which appeal to the
livestock fraternity was spread on the
tables in the hotel dining room and
most of the party were hungry. When
they had concluded Mr.. Schufeldt was
introduced by Manager Clifford of the
Minnesota Packing and Provision cCm-
<o
invited those who wished to rent Of
fees in the Exchange to attend lit
tie auction which he proposed to hold
on the upper floor. There were calls for
several other speakers, but no re-
SponSeS, and after a. vote of thanks to
Mr.. Schufeldt the renting of offices be-
gan. The choice of offices was knocked
down to the G. G. Haas Live Stock
Commission company. The next choice
went to Thuet Bros. Tomlinson Spaf-
ford & Co.. were the third highest bid
derS, the Cunningham Live Stock Com
mission company fourth and Fitch &
Co, fifth. There were other concerns
represented, but no offices were leased
by them at this time. This practically
covers all the live stock concerns which
1t was expected to interest at this
time.
A bank is, Of course, one Of the first
things needed to do business. A suite
of rooms has been provided and fitted
up for this purpose and there will be
no difficulty in supplying banking capt.
tai. 1t is reported that the German
American Bank Of st. Paul and the
Northwestern National Bank of Mime
apolis both have offered to start off
the new institution, which, of course
will have to be new corporation.
The Minnesota Transfer Reporter,
formerly published at New Brighton
but now issued from the transfer, near
Midway district, by eX-Representative
Wright, of Minneapolis, is to be rein
stalled as the official organ of the live
stock interests at that point.
A new railroad time schedule is also
to go into effect tomorrow. Hereafter,
the belt line passenger trains will con-
meet with the Great Northern, stopping
at their station at st. Anthony Park
and meeting trains as follows: From
St Paul, 8:15 a. m. and 5:15 p. m,
and from Minneapolis, 1915 a. m. and
5:05 p. m. The belt line will continue
to connect with tibet interurban line
by buss, as before.
The exact time when the Minnesota
company will begin to operate can be
stated only approximately at present
The time fixed is Feb. 15 but it may be
March 1 before everything will be in
readiness, although a large force of
men is at work. The capacity, when
the work now under way as stated by
Mr.. Schufeldt, will be the equivalent
of 1000 hogs and $50 beeves. But plans
were submitted for approval to Mr..
Schufeldt yesterday for increasing the
capacity to 5000 hogs, and a representa-
tive of the contracting firm Of Butler
Bros. q Ryan, of ST. Paul, was on hand
to arrange for the work. Besides this,
there is a further enlargement in con-
temptation, which will give the con-
Germ a capacity of 1900 hogs. This
does not include the cattle and sheep.
But. the Schufeldt concern will not
be the only one at New Brighton.
There has been running there almost
continuously from the start a concern
managed under one name or another
by Peter H. Van Hoven. In Oct. 1889.
the Twin City Packing company start
ed operations in the house which Is
now being altered and enlarged by Mr..
Schufeldt and his associates. Mr. Van
Hoven, who had been in the packing
house business for nine years on West
Seventh street, ST. Paul, became the
manager. He remained with the COM
pany until last January, when he start
ed the Van Hoven company, setting
