SEEKS TO ADVANCE RATES
Northern Pacific Would Make New Live
"'f. stock Rates. ..

Northern Paclfic Woutd make New Live.
~''. stock Rates. -,...
An application has been made to the
state railroad and warehouse commission
by the Northern Pacific to increase rates
on mules, cattle, hogs and sheep between
the stations of Elk River, Anoka and Du-
luth. .... .Ls.s .@. 81
The hearing before the commission has
been ordered for April Is at 10 o'clock.
Vice President Hannaford states that
the route of the Great Northern from
Minneapolis to Duluth was formerly by
way of Elk River and Milaca, and be-
tracks Of the Great Northern paralleled
those of the Northern Pacific. In the
case of the Northern Pacific, however,
the route to Duluth was by way of Min
neapolis and the Duluth Short Line, so
that in routing livestock from Elk. River
and points between that station. and Min
neapoliS the company had to make the
same rate as did the Great Northern.
After the Great Northern built the Coon
Creek cut off, all Duluth freight, was sent
by the new line, and Elk River and
Anoka were no longer intermediate
points between Minneapolis and Duluth.
Under those conditions the Northern Pa
cific did not see the necessity of maintain
ing the short haul rate between those
points and Duluth which had been in ef-
feet before the opening Of the Great
Northern's short line. Accordingly the
rates were changed, the freight depart
ment officials forgetting that they should
have asked the permission of the state
railway and warehouse commission.
The old rates, which were Cancelled on
Aug Is, 1902, were as follows: Horses

joining the firemen or for appointing
Messrs. Sargent and Clark. But the more
or less critical situation that exists in all
lines Of labor serves to increase the grav
ity of the responsibility which rests upon
not only Mr.. Sargent and Mr.. Clark, but
upon the heads of all the railway orders.
If railway employees, flushed with recent
victories, are carried to extremes; if, by
reason of their unquestiOned solidarity in
wage matters. they believe that they can
enforce any demands they choose to adj
vance; if. miSconstruing the import of the
political incidents to which we have al
luded, they think that whatever happens
they have powerful friends at court. to
protect them in a crisis, they are playing
with fire. ,
'Doubtless some of the increases in pay
lately obtained were due to natural causes
the working of the law of supply and
demand. But there is no doubt that some
of the increases within the last year have
been obtained practically under duress, for
the reason that financial interests have
been timid, dreading the consequences of
! a strike. But advances on such a basis
are not likely to be permanent and there
is surely a limit beyond which they can
not 60. The labor leaders are doubtless
claiming credit for the entire advance
For so much as they have been able to
procure over and above that which would
arise from natural causes they are enti-
|
push the limit too far they will merely
create conditions, the reaction from which
will be harmful to their own interests.
| Up to the present time the railroads have
yielded on the score of eXpediency. The
rising tide of costs is reducing net re-
turns. 1t is now time for the railway
labor unions to consider the matter from
the standpoint of expediency A scale of
wages so high that the railroads will not
be able to meet it will be less beneficial in
the long run to employees than reason-
able scale which will be more or less per
| manent. The abnormally high scale will
I be reduced through sheer force of neces-
:. sity and the reduction will go much lower
than would the reduction from a more
! reasonable basis. It is well for the en-
ploye to get all that he can, but when he
demands more than the employer can pay
he is placing himself in a position from
which he will have a fall. These are pre-
eminently times for the labor leaders to be
cautious, careful and conservative"

Matson's Bakery. now located at Third
avenue NE and Tenth street, is one of
the most up to- date and thoroughly mod
ern baking establishments in the whole
northwest. From a small beginning in the
baking business. n. A. MatsOn, the pro-
prietor, has risen to the very front rank
iii his calling. and is recognized as a
staunch business man, imbued with in
tegrity and square business dealing.
The new plant at Tenth street NE Is
q pretentious two-story structure, mod
eled specially for the baking business and
equipped with every modern facility for
the making Of pure, clean bakery goods.
The former location was near Twenty
sixth street and Central avenue NE, but
Mr.. Matsons bakery business expanded
80 rapidly and there was such an urgent
demand for his goods, that he found 1t
! necessary to choose a more central loca-
tion. The new building covers an area

of 60x1oo of ground space, and has an adj
dition for stable and wagon sheds of 44x114
feet The entire building is a model when
1t comes to neatness and arrangement
There is no waste space. Every section
is utilized to advantage and every de-
partment has splendid natural light
The building is at all times open to pub
lie inspection and Mr.. Matson is justly
proud of his ideal bakery The point that
impresses itself upon every visitor is the
immaculate cleanliness of the place. When
a person has looked through the Matson
bakery, there is no question whatever as
to the purity of the breadstuffs and pastry
manufactured here. A visit creates an
appetite for Matson eatables. The visitor,
too, can follow the process Of making from
the "f1our to the we'll done, appetizing
loaves." There are no secrets in connec-
ton with this process. s.>

dough troughs are Of spotless white en-
amel, and not a speck of dust or dirt can
be found in the room. These Simpkins
ovens, not like the old fashioned .ones,s are
fired from the rear, so that the firebox,
the coal bin and any accommodating dust or
dirt are completely shut off from the
breadroonr. The ovens themselves are: not
the black, dingy kind, but are made Of
white-enameled brick and are neatly
trimmed with ornamental iron work. ii

the pie-makers looked as though they had
just jumped from a brand new bandbox,
and their dexterity proves beyond doubt
that, they are masters Of their craft. They

and seem proud of the fact that they are

kinds and descriptions, and fit to grace

with such dispatch that it is a joy to see

One section of the roonay basement is
fitted up with shower baths and well ap-
pointed toilet rooms Here, too, are
dressing rooms and lockers for the bak-
ers. In another part Of the basement is
the furnace and boiler plant that furnishes
heat for the entire building.
Another important point in connection
with the Matson bakery is the shipping
room and the delivery shed, which are
under one roof adjacent to the bakery
proper The Matson goods are never
exposed to the open air. Everything is
under one roof until the goods are taken
out Of the shipping rooms by the air tight
delivery wagons. This absolutely pre-
vents coming in contact with dirt and
dust and is most important in the
handling of delicate pastry stuffs.
Facilities for Out Town Trade.
The Matson bakery already has
splendid reputation in cities many miles
from Minneapolis. Mr., Matson has
every facility. for doing an out-of-town
business and his shipping department is
growing rapidly. The big bakery runs
full blast day and night and there is every
indication that Mr. Matson will need
more room within a short time. A
speciality is made of bread. pies and cake,
and to these has been added a line Of
specalties of which the leader is a most
| delicious Swedish bread. The demand for
Matson bread will soon make the present
commodiousd quarters too small for the
! growing business.tiH =. 49, " co. ,-.<.

Brief Sketch of Proprietor.

N. A. Matson came to Minneapolis
twelve years ago from Illinois, where he
was engaged in no special line or occu-
patton. Arriving in this city with but lit
tie money, he worked at various lines for
the first four years, after which he Sc
cured a position, with the Lillbridge-
Bremncr company, now branch of the
National Biscuit company. He worked on
commission, and being unusually ener-
getic, rushed his sales hard, and finally
succeeded in placing his position a
paying basis. We was economical and
saved his money At the end of the
fourth year he had accumulated enough to
pay for horse and delivery wagon, and
had 5000 in cash besides. Being ambi
tious he was not entirely satisfied with
this, however, and soon had q desire to
go into business for himself. In the fall
of 1898 he bought out the business of
E. Eggensperger, located al 1924 Central
avenue. The business at that time was
not paying. but Mr. Ma tSon concluded
that if he once obtained possession, he
could soon place it on q profitable basis.
That MI. Matson has succeeded is evid-
ent from. the fact that he. is now pro-
sprietor of a baking establishment second
to none in the northwest. 3: * "a. i r
