TRACKAGE SELLS FOR
A QUARTER MILLION
THE ALBERT DICKINSON COMPANY BUYS GURNEY ADD
TON AND ADJACENT PROPERTY
The Company Will Use Part the Tract Elevators and Aims
to Supply Sites to Other Industries Wel-Shp
ping Facilities Are Excellent.
It's Is bound to become the center OF

, and It's Is bound to become the center Of
an industrial community.
Mr.. Dickinson undoubtedly has secured
the best remaining available trackage
acreage in the two cities. Being on it's
southern boundary only two blocks from
University avenue and the interurban line,
and the north only a short distance
from Como avenue and the Como Harriet
line, it is easily accessible from either di-
rection.
No other property has as good railway
connections. The following five railroads
cross 1t: The Omaha, Great Northern,
| Northern Pacific, Great Western and Min
nesota Transfer. These five roads give
competition to the west, southwest, east
and southeast. also to the head Of the
| lakes, and the Minnesota Transfer con-
meets with the others. The property fronts
a mile on the Omaha, mile on the North
ern Pacific quarters Of mile on
the Great Northern, a half-mile on the
Transfer and a half mile on the Great
Western.
| These are the best railway facilities
anywhere in the two cities. In all prob
ability an industrial railway connecting
the plants with all the railroads will be
built on the property. This will give each
unrivaled transportation facilities.
For some time the Dickinson company
has been looking for flax elevator site.
1t has been using other elevators In the
city, but since the establishment of an
office in Minneapolis, two years ago, bust
ness has increased to such extent that
| it desired a plant of it's own. The Cur
ney Park tract was suggested by Mr..
Chute. Mr.. Dickinson viewed the land
and, discovering the strategic points OF
the territory, determined to add the Eus-
tbs and Knapp properties, and by throwing
4 them together secure the most exception
al facilities obtainable and make these
available to the entire tract.
b About Nov. 1 the Dickinson company
will move from the Guaranty building to
Offices in the new Chamber of Commerce
building. The energies of the Realty com
pany will be devoted to building up a
high class Industrial center in it's recently
acquired property.

This is the most radical move the cham
Der has ever made. The directors met
several times and deliberated long be-
fore deciding upon the step, but this
morning the decision was reached, the
ultinatum has gone and the Western
Union company must come to time or get
off the floor of the chamber by Monday
next.
It is year since the Minneapolis cham
Der began it's fight against the bucket
shops. Everything that the chamber
alone could do was done, and the matter
finally came to the point where every
thing depended upon the telegraph COM
pany. The Chicago Board Of Trade had
just finished it's great fight with the West
ern Union, in which it carried it's main
point
The Minneapolis chamber put the same
request to the Western Union, namely
that it cease giving the quotations OF the
chamber to the bucket shops. The West
ern Union temporized and dragged the
matter along for a year. Meanwhile the
matter passed from the hands of Robert
M. Clowry, the general manager, to A. 3.
Clough, the vice-president. Mr.. Clough
has in his possession the contract drawn
UP by. the legal advisors of the chamber,
in which the Western Union agrees to
withdraw the quotations from the bucket
shops. But this contract has never been
signed and every attempt Oh tne part o.
the Minneapolis chamber to force a deci-
sion has been in some way curcumvented
The matter has finally reached the stage
wfer the chamber is ready to fight. .
| The Western Union Telegraph company
can do one Of three things:
1t can sign the contract now in the
possession Of its officer. - .., .......-.

The largest sale of city acreage prop
erty made for years and from a CONNER
cial standpoint the most important realty
transaction of late was completed to-day
Albert Dickinson Of Chicago, president OF
the Albert Dickinson company, has bought
In Southeast Minneapolis approximately
$50 acres Of trackage land at a cost OF
about a quarter Of a million dollars.
This includes Quincy Park addition, all
the Eustis holdings between the north
and south lines of the Northern Pacific,
and part of the John H. Knapp estate.
The Quincy Park addition embraces over
12O acres, the Eustis holdings about 12U
acres, and the Knapp estate the remain
der.
The combined tract extends from
Twenty second and one half avenue Sc
to ST. Anthony Park and the southern
part between the main lines Of the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern extends east from Malcolm ave-
nue. one eighth of a. mile beyond the
county line.
OF the Dickinson purchase the Wabash
Screen Door company has already bought
twenty acres, the Pacific Coast and In
land Lumber company thirteen acres, and
the Omaha road, to enlarge it's East Min
neapois yards, twenty-six acres. The
Albert Dickinson company will utilize a
portion for new flax elevator. The re-
mainder will be sold. Mr.. Dickinson Is
already negotiating for the sale OF other
sites. The property will be handled, 1r
all probability, by the Dickinson Realty
company, to be organized

this point the president is determined. 1t
Is barely possible that the operators may
not be prepared to make a definite state

have to consult boards of directors and
other bodies before acting, but if this is

breweries doing business in Hancock, &C.
cording to resolution by the council, are
required to pay an annual tax Of $500.
Many persons, especially the friends of the
breweries of Milwaukee and Minneapolis,
thought the council had overstepped it's
authority. This action, however, is in line
with the recent decision of the state SUI
preme court. For years Milwaukee and
Minneapolis breweries have sold their
products in Michigan without paying an
annual tax, while local breweries were
compelled to pay. The resolution is sim
ply an expression of intention to enforce
the ruling Of the supreme court. Foreign
breweries hope to escape payment of the
tax by doing an order business, but this
will avail nothing.

the federal government will be brought
to bear by means of special session Of
congress to convene at the earliest posi-
BILE date, for the consideration of the
question and the passage Of such legisla-
ton as may be necessary to prevent the
recurrence of a state Of affairs such as
now exists in this country.
This Is President Roosevelt's position in
q nutshell.
He is terribly in earnest. Reinforcing
that earnestness is the keen legal ability
of Attorney General Knox. It Is force
full and resourceful combination, and the
country may feel perfectly sure that
every thing will be done that Is possible
to relieve the present situation.
The presidents remarks this morning
typify the olive branch. But the opera

has no club in his other hand. He pre-
fers the olive branch. But there must
be victory even if the club has to be
called into use.

this mornings conference, retired until 3
o'clock in order that they might have
time for consultation on the basis Of the
presidents appeal. Their attitude this
afternoon will definitely determine the

other cities say that the company was
seeking outside labor but the company
is not willing to admit this and refers to
it's advertisement to show that it desires
only home labor. The strikers, however,
are suspicious and to-day there were pick
cts at all the railway stations in anticipa-
ton of the arrival of foreign laborers.

tempt had been made up to 10 o'clock to
start cars on any of the lines. Consfd-
cradle destruction Of property of the New
Orleans Railway company was reported as
having occurred during the night. 1t is
probably the result of the statement of
the company that it would attempt to run
its cars after o'clock last evening" Feed
wires were cut, poles chopped and other
means resorted to to make it difficult for
the company to operate its service. The
morning papers contain advertisements
for 1000 motormen and conductors. They
stated that only residents Of New Orleans
need apply. 1t is not considered probable
that there will be numerous responses to
