STAR BLOCK
Supreme Court Says
It Cannot Be
Divided.

The Supreme Court yesterday rem
dered a decision setting aside the YER
dict of the lower court in the case of
Lee Chu and c. K. Al VS.. Isaac Noar.
The Supreme Court decided that the
Star Block was not in need of the re-
ceiver appointed by Judge Robinson.
though the court was correct in finding
that the property to be incapable of
partition and that sale should be or
dered.
The. following is the syllabus of the
decision which is written by Judge
Perry:
A decree of sale in partition suit
need not contain particular descrip-
ton OF the property involved if by ref
erence a precise description set forth
in the bill of complaint is sufficiently
and by apt words made part of such
decree. The better practice. however,
is to incorporate a precise description
in the decree
The evidence in this case held to dis
close no circumstances justifying the
appointment of a receiver to take pos
session OF the property and collect the
income thereof
In partition suits the better practice
is to set forth. either in a separate
decree or in the same decree with the
order Of sale. an express statement of
the findings of the court concerning the
right of the parties to a partition and
their respective interests or at least, in
a case where the truth of the aver
ments of the bill on those subjects is
admitted by the answer. recital of
such agreement of the parties.
Upon the evidence in this case, the
Circuit Judge correctly found (a) that
the property is incapable of partition
in kind without great prejudice to the
parties and OBJ that sale should be
ordered.

the constant increase in its require
ments. The grocers who call there
each day are demanding an enlarge
ment, while not a. vacant store Is evil

The "boom days" Of Minneapolis at
tracted into the trade a large num-
Der Of dishonest men who saw the OPP
portunity of getting rich quick by So
Letting consignments from the coun-
try and wilfully neglecting to pay for
them. This had bad effect upon the
general reputation of the trade, and it
has taken years Of honest dealing. to
wear away the feeling of distrust
caused by these sharpers, and one of
the foremost efforts Of the exchange
has been to look after the interests
of the northwest by inquiring into the
possible to stop their dishonest prac-
tees.
The produce exchange and its men,
bers, individually and collectively, have
had a big influence in developing this
city. There is no country in the world
whose fruits or other products are not
brought to this market in their proper
season. Every city, village and hamlet
in the northwest Is visited by their
travelling representatives, and Mime
apolis stands to-day pre-eminently the
greatest fruit distributing point west
Of Chicago, and, judging by its accom-
plishments in the past, bids fair to
come up to If not excel that city's
record.
During 1902 the total volume Of bus
mess in fruits and produce was over.

of being considered the BURBERRY king
of America AS the noble red man
departed farther west, Minneapolis lost
her prestige as the greatest BURBERRY
market In the country, probably the
only line In which she has lost ground
within the memory Of present dealers.
L. Longfellow is the only charter
member of the produce exchange who
Is still in business: but G. q. Hillman
follows closely as to length OF time
In the trade. There are many others
who came into the business In the
eighties, but the list Is too long to In
dividualize. The business seems to be
a peculiarly healthy one. as the list
street by death comprises less than
a half-dozen in the past twenty-five
years.
During the year 1888, the trade,
which had assumed increased impor-
lance, began to realize that con-
centration In some district would be
advantageous and desirable. Several
meetings were called, and the matter
considered. but no definite arrange
ments developed until Messrs. Bush
and Curtin came forward with an
agreement to erect block of stores
suitable for the fruit and produce busi-
ness on First avenue N, between First

city, and inaugurated an. entirely new
method in handling fruits. In those
days the shipping Of fruits, butter and
eggs west was in its infancy, and the
methods of handling goods decidedly
primitive. Apples were shipped
wrapped in paper, while egg cases were
an unknown vehicle for carrying these
breakable goods. Eggs were shipped
in all kinds of packages, and packed
in hay, oats, straw, bran and sand,
and the heavy shrinkage in breakage,
caused by the rough handling. Of rail-
road employees, would give the aver
age shipper heart failure nowadays.
Many interesting stories of early ex-
periences could be cited, but one Of
them will suffice, and will be long
remembered by those interested: When
the capitol building at Bismarck, N. D.,
was being erected, the contractor
boarded his men and secured all sup
plies from Minneapolis. His contract
proved too large for his capabilities,
and the contractor Laid down" on the
proposition, owing a large number of
bills. among them being the claims or
the flour city jobbers, who yet feel
they own a nice little interest IN the
capitol of North Dakota, but hardly
consider it a negotiable piece of real
property. .-----...g 49,.

neapolis were the Indians who, In the
fall, picked thousands Of bushels of
blueberries, which came here for dis

by the Gales, who were given the first
franchise. About a dozen dealers
moved into the district as soon as the
buildings were completed. while a
considerable number occupied stores in
the market or Whereabouts on First
street and lower Henneptn avenue.
This Capitalization Of the traffic
brought dealers in closer touch with
each other, and within a short time
the Idea was preached that an ex-
change for the transaction Of bus1-
ness and comparison of prices and con-
ditions should be organized, and In
1884 the Minneapolis Produce Ex-
change was incorporated, with a mem
-bership running up close to $50. In
anxious to back UP any institution that
promised to add to the good Of Min
neapolis, and among the original list
of members are many names Of par
ties who have never been otherwise
closely connected with the fruit and
produce interests.

$4,000, 900, and. while the figures for
tho present year are not yet available
the total will probably exceed that Of
last year, and for several reasons. Ev-
cry season so far has shown a healthy
increase over the previous one. and
prices on most lines are higher. This
would bulge the total amount Of BUSH
ness transacted without necessarily In
creasing profits. However, up to the
present date the year has been very
satisfactory one, and never before has
the street been upon so stable basis
as at present. The year has passed
with no failures In fruit and produce
circles and the first of the year is ex-
pected to show a neat sum on the
profit side Of the ledger for most
houses. The disposition Ia to increase
the amount OF business trarsacted,s and
every legitimate method Is being used

for other purposes. Mr.. Potter. who
was later elected president, continued
In the fruit and produce business until
a few years ago, when politics and the
land business weaned him away from
former associations.
After several years had elapsed. tho
facilities at what was then the COM
mission district" became too cramped
for the amount OF business transacted.
while the growing needs Of tho city
and big shipping demand had de-
veloped many green STUFF growers,
and a general market was required.
T. B. Walker secured control of the
franchise for a general city market,
and erected buildings and sheds at
Sixth street and Second avenue N, and
the trade was divided between the old
district and the new. In 1894 tho en-
tire market block was destroyed by
fire, the loss being q total one to all
houses interested. There was a big
hustling for quarters In the old dis
trict, and rents doubled In startling
manner Two years later what Is now
known as the Minneapolis Central City
Market was rebuilt, and is virtually
the home of the wholesale fruit and
produce business Of the city. It has
attracted to It's immediate vicinity the
wholesale meat interests, and all the
large packers are represented there.

roundings seem inadequate, owing to

the present time they have eighteen
travelling representatives, and they find
it necessary to have eight large trans
fer wagons to do their local dray-
age.
During the past Ave years their
business. has grown to such large
proportions that they have found 1t
necessary and convenient to establish
branch stores at st. Paul, Mankato
and Duluth, Mimi, and Aberdeen,
S. D., in order to more easily and
quickly handle and distribute the large
quantity Of goods they are continually
receiving. For the present year their

a WAY back In the sixties, when
"a Minneapolis was in her In
IA fancy, the fruit and produce
" business gave little promise
- -A of developing into the magni-
tude OF the present day. The
first known commission business
was transacted by Mr.. Adams,
who was an express messenger
running up and down q line Of
railroad leading into the city. Many
of his friends along the line, who
sought an outlet for their butter and
eggs, prevailed upon him to place their
goods among the local grocers, paying
him a commission for making collec-
lions and generally looking after their
transactions. A short time later
George H. Whiting started In the regu-
lar commission business at lis WASH
ington avenue N, but he did not make
a success Of the venture. and shortly
left 1t for another vocation. He was
followed by F. S. Gibson, who occu-
pied building nearly opposite. He
had an Astounding faith In the future
of the business, and proved 1t by &C
cumulating competency of goodly
proportions for those days. Several
others followed with varying success.
About 1870, Levi Longfellow, who Is
still in the trade. started in the whole
sale business, altho he had previously
done more or less jobbing in fruits
among the other grocers Of the city.
