important one and special attention Is
being given Nto the Twin Cities just at

such building be equipped with a fire
escape and standpipe
In Minneapolis an even dozen escapes
have been ordered, and in st. Paul five
Duluth inspections are not quite finished
Commissioners McHaIe is of the opinion
that the schools of st. Paul. are not
properly equipped in this respect The
matter was brought to his attention by
deputy Commissioner Olson, who has
been investigating the matter aad finds
that many of the schools In St Paul are
poorly protected IN this respect Very

Railroads VIII Be Asked to Give
Retter AccOmm OdatiOns for
Butter and Egg
CarEOes.

The Interstate Butter and Egg Shippers
association, composed of shippers of Min
nesota. Iowa and Western Wisconsin.
met at the Windsor hotel yesterday aft
ernoon and discussed matters of mutual
trade interest. The organiza ton was
formed about three months ago at La
Crosse, and several meetings have been
held since to secure a better understand
ing of trade conditions. The meeting ad-
Journed to meet again at Minneapolis
April 26.
r. e. Cobb. one of the prominent local
members of the association, stated after
the meeting, which was attended by
about twenty Representatives of the trade,
that the association aimed to cure Ger
tain trade evils. and to agree upon uni
form set of rules, or rather methods, of
transactfng business, rather than any
combination upon hen fruit. In fact,
many disagreeable features had crept into
the trade, and the association hoped to
eventually eradicate this condition.
One of the matters of interest was the
practice of furnishing egg cases free to
shippers.
The butter traffic in the Northwest has
grown to very large proportions, and 1t
shippers come together and put their
ideas into practice.
At the next meeting q committee will
be appointed to wait upon the railroads
regarding refrigerator accommodations
and other matters of Importance to the
trade.

IMMENSE HORSE SALE
SOUTH ST. PAUL THE SCENE ON
APRIL 20.

The great horse sale to be held at the
Union stock yards, South ST. Paul, April
26, is attracting widespread attention in
all parts of the country. Apart from the
magnitude of the sale from a CONNER
cial standpoint it will be curiosity that
will undoubtedly attract hundreds of
people. to South st. Paul owing to the
large number of horses that can be seen
when nearly 1000 horses were corralled
there, was something unheard of, but it
will be more than ,eclipsed by the COM
ing one. 1t is almost impossible to i'm
agine 5000 horses in one big bunch, and
it will be the sight Of a life time, some
thing that has been rarely seen even on
the Western plains in the years gone by
when great droves of horses roamed over
the wild grounds unrestrained. Never
before in the history of. the world was
such bunch of horses gathered in to be
placed on sale.
'Thuet Bros, who have the sale in
charge, are making every preparation
possible for the sale, and it Is expected
that it will be a. great suceasss1n every
way. And--theY are, being assisted by the
officials of the Union Stock Yards COM
pany and the railroads entering st. Paul.
The latter. realizing what the occasion Is
to be, will place tickets on sale within a
radius of $50 miles of St. Paul. at fare
and third for the round trip.
The Northern Pacific brought in large
consignment of horses from the West
yesterday. They will be disposed Of at a
sale in South st. Paul. Other shipments,
via the Great Northern, are en- route.
