makes q critical inspection OF the quail
ity for the purpose Of determining the
grade. When he has reached q con-
clusion, governed as he is by the rules
established by the department, he
marks the grade upon card, signs his
name officially, and tacks the card up
on the car door. He then takes his
book and enters therein the date, the
number and initials of the car, the kind
of grain, the grade and dockage. He
then proceeds in this manner, aided
by his helper, until all the cars in the
yard have been inspected. After this
the sealer retraces his steps along the
line, closes the doors and puts State
seal upon every car, making q record
of the seal number.
The inspector, who is supposed to
be an expert in the business, having
acquired his knowledge through years
of training and given bond of five
thousand dollars for the honest and
faithful performance of his duties, has
completed the task of inspecting these
cars in wholly unprejudiced and
disinterested manner. He is infu-
enced by no one because his work is
performed in the early hours of the
morning in the presence of no one but
his helper. He does not know, then
or ever after, who shipped single car
of grain he has inspected, to whom it
was consigned or what station it came
from. He never could be reached by
the buyer, because at the time the
wheat is inspected there is no buyer.
The wheat is not sold or disposed of in
any way until later in the day when a
sample of it is exhibited at the Cham
Der of Commerce building. This as
sumes that it is in the Minneapolis
district) After the inspection, the in
spector goes to the Office of the Chief
Deputy inspector, in the Corn Ex-
change building, and copies the in
spections from his book to a report
blank, which blank is posted up for
any person to see who has any interest
in seeing it. At the same time the
other inspectors from the other yards
have made reports of their mornings
work, and there, spread out on table,
or posted, are reports which show the
grade OF every car of grain received at
Minneapolis since a corresponding
hour of the previous day.
But to go back little. After the in
spectors have finished their work in
the yards, the Chamber of Commerce
sends out mon on bicycles and in
wagons, who go to all the different

HOW 1T is DONE.
The Inspection of Wheat at Ter
mlna1 Points.

Wheat which arrives at Minneapolis
~or at her terminal points is taken to
the freight yard of the road which
hauls it, where it remains until it is
graded by State inspector. Solid
train loads of grain arrive all night
long, so that by morning the yards
about the elevators are often COM
3pletelv blocked by cars. Sometimes
there are miles of loaded cars upon
the tracks about the elevators In the
morning as soon as it is light, before
the Office force of the cities have
reached their Offices, and before half
the people are out of bed, an inspector
with his "helper" goes to an elevator
yard and begins his task of inspection.
In a little office between the tracks,
near the elevator. is man who has
been on duty all night taking the
number of the cars as they arrived and
entering them upon his book. The
inspector goes to this man where he
,procures a list of the cars to be in
spected in the yard, taking down care
fully the car numbers and initials.
Sometimes there are. three hundred OF
them, sometimes less. The car num-
bers procured, the State sealer, armed
with crowbar, walks along the track
and breaks the seals on the doors OF
the cars to be inspected, making q
careful notation of the numbers of the
seals so broken. He also examines
the side and end doors of the car to
see if they are in perfect order. If he
finds anything wrong with the car or
its copperage he makes record of the
fact, so that if the car is reported short
in it's weight after unloading this
circumstance may furnish clue. At
ter this the helper climbs into the car
and with plunger probes the car to
the bottom in five different places.
When the plunger is drawn it holds a
sample of the grain within its hollow
space precisely as butter is held in a
trier. The different samples procured
in this manner are passed out to the
inspector who pours them upon cloth,
and after mixing them thoroughly

pay for having their grain graded and
weighed By men skilled in the bust
ness, totally impartial, and on scales
kept in perfect order.
It would be absurd to say that mis-
takes are not sometimes made. No
one is proof against errors of compu-
tation, and human judgment is never
infallible. During the grain year
ending August 81, 1898, there were
inspected in tho Minneapolis yards, by
eight inspectors and their helpers,
137 ,033 cars Of grain: in the Duluth
yards, by seven inspectors and their
helpers, 80,332 cars. These cars were
also weighed by the State weighers
Notwithstanding this great number,
owing to the system and skill en-
ployed, the errors are surprisingly
rare. When the judgment Of the in
spector is questioned an appeal may
. be had to the Chief Deputy inspector
in an hours time. If this result is not
satisfactory. final appeal may be
taken to the Railroad aud Warehouse
Commission. In their decision, the
Commissioners are guided by the
opinions of the parties interested as
we'll as those of the Chief inspector,
having of course a sample ofthe grain
in question before them.
Shippers of grain and others in
terested in the workings of the depart
ment are very welcome at all times to
visit the Offices or yards to see how the
work is done. That is the place, and
the only place, where authentic in
formation concerning the methods of
the department can be obtained-the
only place to find out the right or the
wrong of it. It would be better for
shippers and for the department if
there we're closer associations, for then
there would be q better understanding
and more satisfactory results.
There are many other features of
the department which could hardly fail
to be of interest to shippers, but their
narration here would make this inter-
view too long.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-12-14

yards and get samples of the grain
from all the cars, which they carry in
small sacks to the Chamber Of CON-
MERGE building. By this time the
dealers and commission men have read
their mail, and know what cars have
been consigned to them, respectively.
A man will then give list of his cars
to a boy who goes to the Office of the
Chief Deputy inspector and ascertains
from the reports before mentioned the
grade on all the cars on his list. The
dealer then has sample of all the
grain consigned to him to sell, aud he
knows how every car has been graded
by the State inspector. The buyers
then go ION change" and buy this
wheat, paying a price according to
grade. Sometimes thousand cars of
grain are sold con change" in this
manner in three hours.
After the grain is sold or otherwise
disposed of orders are sent to the diff
ferent yards for the disposition of all
this grain, and soon thereafter the cars
are being yanked about by switching
crew. Some of the cars are sent to
elevators, some to Touring mills and
some are sent to Duluth for shipment
via the lakes. All the grain that is
sent to the elevators and mills is
weighed by a State weigher. These
weighers are also experts in the bust
ness, having been at the scale beam
for years. They are also under bond
in the sum of five thousand dollars for
the faithful and honest performance
of their duties. They nave no interest
in the results of their work other than
to be accurate and just. The scales
they use are modern, and most of them
have patent, automatic registering
device, which, so far as the scales are
concerned, make errors mechanical
impossibility. These scales are under
the constant supervision of the State
scale expert, a man who spent forty
years of his life as mechanic in Fair
banks scale manufactorr.
The expense to the shipper for State
inspection is fifteen cents per car and
the same price for State weighing.
The average number of bushels of
wheat per car is now about seven
hundred. This average is constantly
growing larger for the reason that the
railroads are increasing the capacity of
their cars. But at seven hundred
bushels the cost of inspection is about
one-fifth of one mill per bushel. Null
tiplying this by two we have two-fifths
of one mill per bushel which shippers

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Presidant Nc
Kinley, about 40 last night, issued
the following proclamation to the Amer
lean people:
To the People of the United States of Amer
lea:
cat this time when to the yet fresh
remembrance of the unprecedented sue
cess which attended the operations of
the United States fleet in the bay of
Manila ON May l last are added the
tidings of the no less glorious achieve
ments of the naval and military arms OF
our beloved country at Santiago de
Cuba. it is fitting that we should pause,
and, staying the feeling of exultation
that too naturally attends great deeds
wrought by our countrymen in our
countrv's cause, should reverently bow
before the throne of Divine grace aud
give devout praise to God, who hofdeth
the nations in the hollow of His hands
and worketh upon them the maryels of
His high will and who has thus far
vouchsafed to us the light of His face
and led our brave soldiers and seamen
to victory.
81 therefore ask the people of the
United States upon next assembling for
Divine worship in their respective
places of meeting to offer thanksgiving
to Almighty God, who, in: his inscruta-
BILE way, now leading our hosts upon
the waters to unscathed triumph, now
guiding them in a strange land through
the dread shadows of death to success,
even though at fearful cost, now
bearing them without accident or loss
to far distant chimes, has watched over
our cause and brought nearer the sue
cess of the right and the attainment of
just and honorable peace.
with the nations thanks let there
be mingled the nations prayers that
our gallant sons may be shielded from
harm alike on the battlefield and in the
clash of fleets anu be spared the scourge
of suffering and disease while they are
STRIVING to uphold their country honor;
and withal let the nations heart be
stilled with holy awe at the thought of
the noble men who have persisted as
heroes die, and be filed with compass
sionate sympathy for all those who suf-
fer bereavement or endure sickness,
wounds and bonds by reason of the
awful struggle And above all, let us
pray with earnest ferver, that he, the
dispenser of all good, may speedily re-
move from us the untold Affections of
war and bring to our dear land the
blessings of restored peace and to all
the domain now ravaged by the cruel
strife the priceless boon of security and
tranquility.
