THE POOL And FLOUR
Local Millers Interested In the Re-
ported Steamship Combine.
THEY HOPE FOR STABLE RATES
The Consolidation May Give Them
II Better Chance as Against
Wheat.

Minneapolis, through it's big export flour
trade, is directly interested in the COM
bination or pooling arrangement between
the Dominion, Leyland, White Star;
American, and Atlantic Transport steam
ship lines. Local millers believe that the
combinat ton will be beneficial to Mime
apolis' export trade in that it will tend to
stop the discrimination in favor of wheat
and against flour which precipitated such
fierce discussion in railway and milling
circles in October last.
The new combination controls 12O
steamers and the movements Of all OF
the boats will be directed from one head
quarters in London. Steamship agents
do not believe that the new arrangement
will result in consultations Of passenger
agencies. The purpose is regarded solely
as move to stop cut-throat competition
for freight traffic. The big lines are be-
lleved to be already working in harmony.
Local agents have received word that
two boats which were building for the
American line have been turned over to
the Dominion line. This is interpreted
as part of the program to make the
division Of tonnage as nearly equal as
possible
Minneapolis millers believe that any,
move which will stop the decentralization
OF rates by water carriers will improve
the export rate situation from their stand
point. In the recent discussion Of the
discrimination in favor of wheat as
against flour, by which the foreign miller
obtained the raw material at such low
rate that American flour found it difficult
to compete. and for which the railroads
OF the country were severely criticised, it
developed that the big factor In the
trouble was the demoralized condition of
ocean rates. Chairman Martin A. Knapp
OF the interstate commerce commission,
made this statement in reply to a criti
cism from local millers on the inactivity
OF the commission. The commission has
no Jurisdiction over water carriers and as
the decentralization of water rates is due
to the cut throat competition between
various steamship lines combination or
pooling is regarded about the only means
for improving conditions in that quarter.
1t is believed that some such method of
bracing rates on the Great Lakes would
also work to the advantage of the millers
in their fight for fair rate as against the
export rate made on wheat.
The Atlantic Transport line has for sew
eral years made a bid for export flour
traffic from Minneapolis. Two Of it's
steamers are named Minneapolis and Min
nehaha There. is no information regard
ing possible changes in the disposition of
flour traffic among the various lines.

thirty-tive were present when the fire

escaped. 10y

SAY THE BIDS WERE FAIR
TAXPAYERS ON WILKINS CASE
They Insist That Bidders Knew the
Building Was Old-Saying
on Other Appeals.

The Taxpayers League desires to cor
rect certain statements appearing in The
Times this morning. On the second page
of the specifications which were sub
mitted to the parties making the bids fer
the league on the plumbing to be done at
the poor farm, which were copies of these
used by the county, appears the following
clause:
The system of piping is to be run as indi-
Gated by the plans or as as the other
permanent piping and the light will permit.
Where changes are necessary, or before the
piping is started, the contractor must have
the architect approve the manner in which
the same is to be constructed. This piping

and the present sinks now in the building,
and the laundry fixtures in basement. All
old bath tubs and the piping for same are 10

piping are to be removed; those that are
row under the basement floor in places where
rev foor is not to be put down. The con-
tractor must thoroughly cap the ends and
leave them perfectly closed. All old pips
taken out by the contractor is to be his
The league contends that this shows
clearly that the bidders were fully in
formed as to the fact that the work was
to be done in the old building. In the
bid of NJ J. O'NeiI he states: Il will
do the plumbing In the home building.
to plans and specifications. for the sum Of
81, $685. All the other bidders were in
formed that the work was to be done at
a place seven miles from the city. Ac-
cording to the statement in the Times
the bidders allege that they supposed the
work was to be done in new building,
but the specifications show that this was
not So
It was also stated that the action OF the
league in this instance may cost the coun-
ty something like $780, It is alleged by
league members that this certainly is not
fair statement to make, without at the
same time calling attention to the many
instances in which the efforts Of the
league have resulted In q saving to the
county. On one bill alone, which was
recently appealed from, 1t is cited that
nearly the whole sum mentioned in this
connect ion, was saved to the county. The
fact that the bids submitted to the tax
payers were about half as large as the
lowest bid obtained by the county, is
pointed out as being enough In itself to
excite public comment as we'll as action.
When the appeal was taken on these
plumbing bills, was on the ground that
the contract as originally made was ille-
gal, under chapter 359, laws of 1899, COM
monty known as the trust" law. That
view of the case was elimina ted in the
action brought as to the value Of the
services rendered.

POOR TOWN FOR PIE
Transplanted Yankees Seem to
Have Lost the Appetite.
is PIE BITING A DECADENT ART?
Pie Foundry PrOprfetOrs Say It's
Either That or the Domestic
Pie Is Supreme.

Although the population of Minneapolis
has been largely recruited from New
England-the original home Of the Ameri-
can pie in all it's manifestations--it is a
peculiar fact that less pie is eaten here
than in any other city OF. corresponding
size in the country. This is fact
vouched for by the proprietors OF large
bakeries. who keep In close touch with
the demand for pies at the restaurants.
1t is condition which has also been rec
ognized by the representatives OF large
pie foundries Of other cities, who at diff
ferent times have had designs upon Min
neapolis. Only recently representatives
OF pie company which operates large
foundries in Omaha and Kansas City,
came to Minneapolis with the idea OF
establishing a branch house here, but a
casual survey of the field convinced them
that pie fends were too scarce here to
warrant any such business venture
The poor appetite for pies in Mime
apolis Is all the more noticeable when
contrasted with the big demand for that
kind Of pastry in other cities-notably
Boston-where the large Merry bakery
sometimes supplies the beam eaters IN
single restaurant with as high as 2,40O
pies day. ~
William Regan Of the firm of Regan
Brothers said to-day that he was at a
loss to account for Minneapolis apparent
dtsloyalty to such a distinctively Ameri-
can institution as pie. He realized that
such condition existed here, and con-
coded that New Englanders appeared to
have drifted far away from the traditions
of their old homes In that regard. Mr..
Regan thought it barely possible that the
pie eating propensities of Minneapolis
had been judged from the wrong stand
point. He sought possible explanation
in the fact that the average man who eats
lunch down town had followed Bill Nye's
famous advice to beware of the pie of
commerce." and ate pie only when at
home. -.a $500. .-
minneapolis he said, sis famous as a
city OF homes, and perhaps a larger per-
centage Of men go home to lunch here
than in most other cities of the size. Still,
that ought not to make any material diff
ference with any individual weakness for
pie. 1t is a fact that better pies are made
in the bakeries to-day than in the aver
age home, because the porcess has been
reduced to an art and the facilities for
turning out finished products are greatly
superior to those which the ordinary
household affords. -- ST.. ....rs -.
minneapolis holds her own fairly we'll
with mlnee pie in season, but. we fall far
short when it comes to the most popular
member of the pie family-that which is
made out Of apples-and other standard
makes" g.. 80, -- -,
Mr. Regan agreed that it might be in
the interests of good citizenship and the
culinary department at large to give oc-
casional public pie-eating contests, and
award prizes to the successful competi-
tors. ..--- $780,

benevolent assimilation" he observed in
