made at the new Chamber of Commerce
building by which the grain and stock
brokerage firm Of Edwards, Wood & Co.
comes into possession Of the suite of Of

opment Of the past year or two has placed

speciality Of handling, cash grain consign-
ments, and it is in this line that the bust
ness has shown the greatest gain.
r. B. Wood whose years of experience
in the stock brokerage business in Wash
ington, D. c., and other eastern cities,
make him thoroly familiar with every
phase Of the business, will make his per-
manent headquarters in the new offices.

the Great Fair at Manitoba's

Boys-Fair a Great Western
Canadian Event.

The Journal Newsboys band will be one Of
the great features of the great Winnipeg fair,

ern Pacific for the Manitoba capital next
Tuesday evening. They will be under the di-
rection of Captain c. G. Heintzman. and with
their trim red uniforms and military air,
and, above all, with their stirring music, they
are sure to make a hit with the people of
the Canadian northwest, for that entire dis
trict will be represented. The Winnipeg fair
is always great event in northwestern
Canadian affairs and with. the prosperity
which Canadians have enjoyed for past years
and have promise of in the crops of this
year, the fair of next week will be the great
est In the history of western Canada.
The call for the boys to go to Winnipeg
for such an event is high compliment, for
the Canadians are exacting in their demands
on bands. This invitation also shows the
deseryedly increasing popularity Of the band.
This Is. without doubt, the most important
away-from- home engagement the band has
had since it went to Buffalo to the Pan
American exposition, at which it made a
great hit. The boys have greatly improved
in their skill as musicians since then, and
where they pleased the exposition crowds
they are pretty sure to take the Winnipeg
fair crowd by storm:

CITY VALUATION up

Added to Personal Property As
sessment This Year.
Nearly All the Large Corporations
and Business Houses Show
an Increase.

There will be a, marked increase in the
assessed valuation Of Minneapolis as a
result Of the work Of the assessors office
this summer. While exact figures are
not yet available, indications are that the
personal property assessme nts will show
an increase Of between five and six mil
lions. No real estate assessment was made
this year, the real estate valuation being
made biennially.t An increase Of $5.O00,-
900 is very satisfactory to City Assessor
Minor, especially as most of the returns
were voluntary and are signed. and there
will be no excuse either for the city or
the state board Of equalization to make
reduction.
Nearly all the large corporations and
business houses show marked increases.
Thus the assessed valuation Of forty firms
on personal property alone Is about $780,
OOO-an increase Of $1,356,O00.
Following is a summary of the personal
property assessment Of some of the lead

WILL ASK BIDS FOR BONDS

Council Committee Makes Arrangements
to Advertise for Issue Re-
Gently Authorized.
The council committee on ways and
means met yesterday afternoon and or
dered the city controller to advertise for
bids for 100000 in municipal bonds, the
issue of which was authoriz ed at the last
meeting of the council.
Those who watch the money market do
not like its appearance and suggest the
idea that three weeks hence there may
be no bids for per cent bonds This is
deemed highly improbable, however. A
few days ago Boston sold nearly 81 ,00O,-
900 Of az per cent bonds at premium
This shows that municipal bonds are in
demand.
