new BLOOD IS TAKEN IN
CHANGE IN. THE GRIGGS-CooPER
CORPOR ALTON IAN

Col. Chauncey w. Griggs, of the firm
OF GrigSs & Foster. as we'll known in st.
Paul as en- the Pacific Coast, where its
members now res de, was here yester-
day on business connected with the form
ing of new corporation, to be known
as Griggs, Cooper & Co. The change
was made the first of the year and
Theodore Griggs, a son of the colonel
and Richmond P Warner, both of ST
Paul.
Col. Griggs and Addison G. Foster,
United States senator from Washington,
formed the firm of Griggs & Foster-still
in eXistence-some thirty years ago, and
the present corporation has resulted
therefrom.
Both gentlemen are associated in the
st. Paul and Tacoma Lumber company
at Tacoma, which operates a lumber
plant and the Wilkinson coal mines, east
of Tacoma, with something over 1900
names on the payroll. Both gentlemen
are interested with the estate of F. w.
Miller, in the Beaver Dam Lumber COM
pany, of Cumberland, Wis, which will
clean up its operations within year or
two, and which is putting on the market
something like 10000 acres of Wisconsin
land.
Coi. Griggs is a busy man, being presI-
dent Of the Fidelity Trust company bank,
the Tacoma Dry Dock company, and the
Chehalis and Pacific Coal company, in
addition to his duties as executive of the
lumber and coal companies He is most
enthusiastic as. to the future of Tacoma.
The purchase for improvement of tide
lands by the Northern Pacific will, in
his opinion, greatly add to the terminal
facilities of that company, with the re-
suit that foreign shipments. from that
port will be materially Increased.
Col. Griggs is authority for the state
ment that never before were Washington
or Tacoma in as prosperous condition as
at present.
Excellent crops of wheat, and other
grains, fruits and hops. which have
brought good prices, have brought money
to the growers, while new settlers and
new manufacturing industries are stead
lily being added to the Pacific Coast
state.

0NE OF EIGHT MILLIONS
LAST YEARS TRANSFERS OF
PROPERTY AGGREGATED
OVER $12,OOO,OOO
INCREASE OVER PAST YEAR
Leaving Out the Railroad Sale,
There Is Still Over "a Million
of Natural Increase
Over 1899.
INCREASE OVER PAST YEAR

During the last year there were $500
transfers made in the register of deeds
office, aggregating a grand total consid-
Grafton OF $12,04O,701.
This amount, however, includes the
transfer of the st. Paul & Duluth rail-
road to the Northern Pacific, which
amounted to $8010,O00. Deducting this
from the total would show stat during
the year $500 pieces Of Ramsey county
property was transferred for total con-
sideration og $4,0l0, 701. Dec 81, the last
day in the year, there were forty-one
transfers, for a consideration of 1884, 74J..
During the year 1899 there was total of
2,060 transfers for a total consideration
of IS, 76l, 910 Two million seven hundred
slXty-five thousand five hundred dollars
Of this, however, was the amount of rail
road transfers, and this deducted from
the total amount would leave the consid-
Grafton for Ramsey county property
transferred during the year at 1895, 40.
This would show an increase for 1900 OF
81, 034, go over 1899
There seems to be a general impression
that deeds cannot be filed after January
without having to pay taxes for 1870, and
it will be of Importance 70 people to
know that deeds can be filed up-to to-
morrow evening without having to Fay
the taxes for 1900.
The number of transfers issued during
each month last year was as follows:

DITCHED BY BROKEN RAIL
ESCAPE OF GREAT WESTERN PAS
SENGERs ALMOST MIRACULOUS.

SENGERS ALMOST MIRACULOUS.
Passenger train No. l of the Chicago
Great Western road, was partially
wrecked at the little station of Sergeant,
Mimi, at o'clock yesterday morning.
The train consisted Of two engines and
eight cars. No one was seriously injured
and all but one car was saved from entire
destruction.
The train is due in this city at 1850
a. m. The passengers and crew of the
wrecked train arrived in ST. Paul yestcr-
day afternoon at 1850 on passenger ira n
No. 3, which reached the city four
hours late. Conductor H. w. Healey was
aboard the train with a painful cut on
one side of his head and a bruised
shoulder. Baggage Master Green had a
few bruises but neither of the men were
dangerously hurt. The only other vic
tim of the accident was Porter Hudson,
who lives in Chicago He also sustained
slight injury.
The trainmen stated on their arrival
that the accident was caused by broken
rail The train which was drawn by two
engines on the account of the steep
grade at that place, was travelling at the
rate of thirty-fVe miles an hour. The
first engine succeeded in passing over
the defective rail without damage but
when the drivers of the second locomotive
struck it the mischief followed. Neitkel
or the engines were entirely forced OFF
the track, but in the crash the baggage
car was deraiied and catching fire from
the engine was destroyed with all lis
contents. The remaining seven cars
were not damaged They left the track,
but were not overturned. The train
was taken back to Oelwein and placed
in the repair shops The passenge s
waited for No. and came on to St
Paul and Minneapolis.
AS soon as the news of the wreck
reached st. Paul the companys physi-
clan, DR.. Sneve, boarded the wrecking
train.

seat are Thomas Carey, superintendent
of the fire alarm system. and F. D. Var
mum, assistant electrical inspector For
the latter job the name of c. F. Mcbride

fashions III these matters. 1t Is not DOS
sible, I will admit, in big cosmopolitan
cities to be as trustful of human nature
The letter of Introduction, everybody
knows, has grown to be the way In which
people get rid of visitors who come with
subscription lists or are looking for some
thing III business or a social way Folks
have now got all sorts of clever plans to
elude letters Of Introduction and at the
same time convey no offense to the bearer
or the sender. But sensible people have
grown to know that these letters mean
very little generally and treat them ac-
cordingly.
Men have different way of looking at
things and 1t must be admitted, show
more cordial good will toward each
other than women who may not be ac.
quainted. In the smoking room of a
Pullman car men will get acquainted in
an nour, while women will cross the con-
t1nent eying each other with dull dis
trust. And when women come with let.
tiers Of Introduction, as a general thing.
you will find they are trying to push
some business scheme under a social
guise.

with a letter to another woman of wide
acquaintance was launched into circle
OF charming homes and was entertained
constantly during a. winter, after which
1t became known that she was entirely
undesirable in a social gathering of any
sort. The woman who had provided her
with the letter which had proved the
entering wedge was questioned by the
indignant tool who had brought the I'M
desirable woman forward.

Another instance of the way in which
this happily abandoned custom was
abused came to light when a charming
young woman from the West called upon
an influential woman with letter of in
PRODUCTION written by man whom the
recipient knew only casually. Still the
girl was pleasantly ingenious and the
woman, somewhat amused at the situa-
ton, asked impressively how Mr.. Blank,
the writer of the letter was.
