Milwaukee & ST. Paul, Great Northern,

Navigation company. The Chicago &
Northwestern has 1877 miles under con-

Minnesota and Iowa, which is being built
principally to give that company a more
direct line between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, and Omaha. In addition, this
road has $50 miles surveyed. or under sur
vey, some of which may be built this
year. The Great Northern has not less
than 125 miles under construction. An

The contract for the foundation for the
Northern at Superior was let yesterday
to Schmidt Bros. Of West Superior. The
contract price for the work is about So, :
900. The contract calls for the completion
Of the foundation In seventy-five days. 1t
is expected that work will begin at once,
and as soon as the foundation Is ready
for the main structure 1t will be pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible.
The new elevator, when completed, will
be the largest in the world. 1t will have
a total capacity of $500, 900 bushels and a
working capacity of over 100000 bushels
1t will be built of steel and the total cost
will amount to more than $2.0O0,000.
The plans for the elevator and it's &c
cessory tanks have been perfected at
the Great Northern engineering offices In
this city. Max TOltz, engineer of bridges,
will have supervision of the construction
and has also developed the drawings
for the structure, under the direction Of
Mr.. Hill and his son. J. H. Hill. vice pres
ident of the Great Northern, who has
been d prime mover in the enterprise.
There will be central cleaning elevator
of 100000 bushels capacity. This struc-
ture will be built of steel and is to be the
first cleaning elevator constructed of
steel. The largest cleaning elevator now
in existence does not have a capacity of
over $50, 900 bushels.
This main structure will be $40 feet by
u.s. and 230 feet high. Some idea of its
size may be gained by the fact that there
are two stories before the machinery for
cleaning is reached. This machinery ex-
tends upward of eighty-five feet, and on
top of this will be seven stories more.
The elevator will equal in height a twen-
ty-story building.
Surrounding this cleaning elevator and
connected with 1t will be the storage
tanks. Each of these will be fifty feet in
diameter and sixty-fve feet high. These
can be added as needed, and 1T is the
present intention to construct about thirty
Of them, all in steel. Together they will
have a total capacity Of $500, 900 bushels.
This is in addition to the working capac-
ity of the cleaning elevator, which alone
Is 5000, 900 bushels. The Armour elevator,
in Chicago, which is solely a storage ele-
vator has a capacity of only 100000
bushels. The largest steel storage ele-
vator in Buffalo is Of 100000 bushels ca
pacity.
The main cleaning elevator at West Su-
perior will cost over 81 100000 and use
1000, 900 pounds of steel in It's construc-
ton. The impossibility of securing all
the steel at once is one Of the reasons
for not completing the structure in time
for the fall movement of wheat. Storage
tanks of 100000 bushels capacity will be
built at the same time, and others added
as fast as needed, until the total capacity
of elevator and tanks equals 6,500,000
bushels

HE WANTS HIS NOTES.
AdoIph Fnrbstein Sets Up Very
Novel. Defense.

Judge Kerr yesterday began the trial
of the case OF A. LELAND, Eas receiver of
the: Washington bank. against Adolf
Farbstein an action brought to recover
$40 on a personal note The defense
claimed that the note was given to the
bank simply as a guarantee of good
faith. and that the conditions upon which
it was to be returned were afterwards
complied with.
Farbstein claims that he purchased
tickets from the bank. which were sent
to sister and two children, who then
lived in Russia. When he made the
purchase he specifically demanded that
the tickets be for use on one Of the Ger
man lines, so as to prevent trouble with
the German authorities, who, he said,
would stop the travellers on some pre-
text or another If the tickets were not
issued as he directed. The bank, how
ever, ignored his request, and the con-
sequence which he had foreseen ensued.
The little party was stopped in Germany.
and was not allowed to proceed until
other tickets had been secured.
