YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY.

AS indicated on another page of to-
days paper we find it necessary to
draw to a close our proposition on the
Charles Dudley Warner Library. While
We realize there are a great many of
our readers who have been thinking of
securing a set of this work, yet owing
to the fact we can not procure the
sets necessary to continue this offer,
we must bring it to a close. The prop
Osition has met with universal satisfac-
ton, both to those who We're fortunate
to secure one of these first edition sets
as we'll as to the G o b e. The Charles
Dudley Warner Library is beyond ques-
ton the greatest literary publication
that has ever been issued in America
The G o b was the only newspaper
in the entire Northwest which was able
to secure any of the sets of this work
for it's readers. When the proposition
was first announced, this paper stated
plainly our allotment was limited and
we reserved the right to withdraw the
proposition without notice.
The entire first edition of the library
was set aside for Introductory purposes
and Harper's Weekly Club of New
York and Chicago was formed solely
to place this Introductory edition
! Those who desire to secure one of these
sets can do so by writing to US at
once, but as we state in the display
announcement in todays paper, it will
be utterly impossible for us to accept
an application for the library after
Saturday next. Those who purchased
the library a few months ago secured
it for much less money than those who
buy now In like manner, those who
delay purchasing will find 1t necessary
to pay a much higher price than is now
quoted, and when all of the volumes are
| issued, the price will be uniform and
sold by the publishers direct.
No single publication has been issued
during the history of this country
which has cost so much for author
ship during the same length of time as
has this. We are informed by the pub
fishers the expense for this one item
/ has averaged $500 a day for more than
year, and the end is not yet in sight.
Therefore those who take advantage of
the proposition now will not
only secure the greatest literary
! achievement of the nineteenth
century. but at nearly half the
price which will soon prevail. In
withdrawing this proposition the
Globe wishes to thank its many
! friends and readers who have assisted
/ in making it a success. Time is too
short for us TO answer inquiries, but
we will guarantee this library satisfac-
| tory to every purchaser, and will give
those who send in their applications
! now ten days time to examine the
volumes. If at the expiration Of that
! time they are not satisfactory, the
! library can be returned and the money
! paid will be refunded.

has been built on the top of the up
right system of circular steel bins. is
filed with garnel:s, scale bins and ma
chinery for handling the. grain promi-
nent among the many others being the
motors for Transforming the electric
current into power. There are in all
four 100-horse-power motors, eleven So
horsepower, and two 2O-horse-power
making a total of seventeen motors,
exerting $40 horsepower. These are
placed where Their Fsrk can be best
utilized.
One of the mosthovel features of the
elevator is the sygtern of three marine
legs. each capable Of moving across the
front of the building to accommodate
the vessel to be lnloadEd. Each leg is
provided with it's 4owf motor. Those
motors are statiSpary Fn the marine
towers and are connected with the
marine legs by rope drive wheels, the
electric current reaching the motor by a
system of trolley wheels that take up
the current after the fashion of electric
cars. These legs are each capable Of
elevating 5000 bushels of grain an
hour from a vessel or 500, 900 bushels in
ten hours, altogether
Someone has asked irif it will be
necessary to cOnfine each of the steel
bins to a cargo to avoid mixing the
cargoes. This has been avoided by the
building of steel bulkheads that cut
each bin into three compartments,
making it possible to store three sorts
of grain in each bin at time The
grain is drawn out of the bottom of
each compartment, and elevated to the
weighing bin at the top of the elevator
before the delivery to car or boat. The
bin-compartment device is an invention
of President Hill, and has been pat
ented.
GREAT NORTHERN SYSTEM.
What, it may be asked. are the re-
sources of the Great Northern railway
system to demand such an elevator, and
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-17

what are its prospects Of providing
business for it?
When you stop to consider that one
sixth of the entire wheat crop of the
United States is raised on the line of
the railway owned and operated by
James j. Hill, it viii appear that the
system of elevators named above is
reasonably certain of a fair share of
business. The tracks of the Buffalo
Creek Terminal Railway company con-
nectSwith the Great Northern Elevator
company's yard affording facilities for
forwarding grain from this elevator to
all rail lines running out Of Buffalo.
The elevator has been placed in
charge of John Lane superintendent,
and James Murphy has been made the
foreman. Both are old Buffalo eleva-
tor men.
The Great Northern interests now oc-
cupy a frontage of 1,485 feet on the
Blackwell canal above the bridge. Ad-
joining the elevator are the great pack
age freight warehouses and docks of
the Northern Steamship company, one
of the former being one-fffth of mile
long and 100 feet deep. This house is
being equipped with small electric mo-
tors for delivering freight into ware
houses, or into cars by means of elec-
tric power.
1t should not be forgotten that the
power used in all this vast system is to
be derived from the tunnel at Niagara
Falls, twenty-three miles away.
BUILDER AND DESIGNER.
The Great Northern elevator was
built by D. A. Robinson, who was Sc
lected by President Hill because he is a
capable man who can be depended on
to follow instructions. The elevator is
in way the invention of Mr.. Hill, and
being in sc many ways unique in pat
tern, it required a builder who would
enter into the spirit of the inventor.
Mr.. Robinson is only thirty-siX years
old, but he is already an old elevator
builder, having erected them all the
way from Boston to the Pacific coast.

CRIPPLED AND DEFoRMED
Children Are to BE Cared for in ST
Paul.

Paul.
For the ensuing eighteen months the
city and county hospital will afford
shelter and treatment to the INDECENT
crippled and deformed children who
may be placed in that institution by
the board of regents of the state uni
versity. This was decided upon at
meeting of the board of regents COM
mittee on medical department of the
university yesterday afternoon, held at
the office of Judge Greenleaf Clark.
Heretofore the state has made no
special provision fer the care of Grip
pied and deformed children, as it has
in the cases of the insane, imbecileS,
Dauper children, etc. Accordingly the
last legislature made an appropriation
of $4,000 to be entrusted to the board
of regents of the state university, to
be expended by them in caring for such
crippled and defOrmed children, as well
as children suffering from diseases
likely to result in permanent deformity.
The law imposes but one condition upon
the regents, which limits the amount
to he expended in any one year to So
GOO.
AS soon as the appropriation bill had
gone into effect, the regents looked
about for suitable institution in
which to place the children for care and
treatment They decided that the prop
er course to take was to request pro-
posaIs from the various hospitals in the
state for undertaking such care and
TIRE atment. Several proposals were re-
ceived, and yesterday the committee
on the medical department of the uni
versity. met at Judge Greenleaf Clark S
Office to consider the proposals. After
locking them all over, the committee
which has full power to act in the MT
- ter decided to accept the propC6aI of
the board of control or city lbpital,
which offered to receive, care for, and
treat such children for 1915 per week
per patient.
The contract was at once drawn up
and signed by the committee, consist
Ing of Judge Clark and Judge Stephen
Mahoney, of Minneapolis, and President
Kerwin. of the board of control The
contract goes into effect at once and
terminates on May l, 1899. The regents
have four crippled children on hand

hospital

The SUCCESSION lax.

The passage of bill for graded sue
bent, to be collected by the state from
Estates passing through probate, in the
New York assembly, without dissent
= ng vote, illustrates the tendency of the
thought of the people to place checks to
4 he accumulation of very large proper
1 les. The discussion in regard to large
+ department stores and the desirability of
. eliminating them by taxation is another
. Illustration of this same phase of
4 thought So, too. is the movement
against trusts and overpowerful corpo-
rations, which has been so immensely
strengthened by the recent decision of
the United States supreme court.
All of this is in the direction of more
Equal distribution of property, which
the REGISTER believes to be very impor-
tant to the prosperity of the country,
and still more to the perpetuation of its
Republican institutions.
1t is very evident that the republican
party will not permit itself to be further
used in these regards for the fostering of
personal as against general interests.
. The attention of the voters having been
called to these subjects, we believe 1t
will be impossible for any interested
politician to lead them blindly into the
support of laws that operate against
the public welfare; and, on the other
hand, they are showing more and more
the disposition to find out what evils OF
this character need remedying and what
are the proper remedies.

LETTERS TO MlpDLesuRY PEOPLE.

Rev. FATHER GELOT, Middlebury, VT.
Dear Sir:-Haven't these thoughts
occurred to you: Why is it that so
many people persist in doing wrong
when it is so much better to do right !?
Why will people deliberately ignore the
truth? Why is it that it takes years to
get grown people to believe truths so
apparent that even child sees them at
a glance?
We are addressing this letter to you
because we are having the same difficult
ties In turning housekeepers from eXtrav-
agance to economy. Our business is to
sell Harmless Soap. Our soap costs s
cents pound, but there are a dozen 9TH
er soaps that sell for less. Our soap
lasts longer than cheap soaps and it con-
tains less lye. But some buy stronger
and cheaper soaps, which melt away
quickly in the wash and rot clothes, be-
cause they think they are saving money.
Lye in soap is like salt in food. \ lit
tie of it is necessary, but lot of it is
bad. Both salt and lye are cheap.
When a sOap-maker wants to cheaper
his soap he loads it down with lye. And
how the housekeepers congratulate them
selves on saving money in buying 1t,
They don't look far enough. They don't
see that it washes away faster and rots
their clothes besides.
No woman will put a great quantity of
salt into her food because It is cheap,
but she does identically the same thing
when she puts her clothes into suds made
from strong lye soaps.
1t seems as though we are companions
in perpleXity. You find it hard to turn
people from the errors of their ways in
religious matters, and we find it hard to
turn some housekeepers from soap eX-
travagance to genuine soap economy.
Yours truly,
G. H. POST & Co..
