Great Growth Of the Business.
i For number Of years the Minneapolis
mills were mainly supplied by, farmers
who hauled their wheat to market. Until
after the war there were no other means
OF transportation except the rather primi-
tive steamer on the upper Mississippi,
and as a matter of fact very few farmers
raised any wheat at all. The outskirts of
civilization in Minnesota, were less than 4
100 miles from Minneapolis. With the
advent Of the railroads after the war,
the area of production was greatly In
creased and the supply for the mills was
greatly increased. But the general grain
commission trade was held back by this
very circumstances. The mills used prac-j
ticallyl all Of the available wheat and
bought it only thru the Millers' associa-
ton. .lT This organization really controlled
the wheat situation in Minneapolis for
dozen years sor more In 1871 there were
but nine firms in Minneapolis classified
by the city directory as grain dealers,
and some OF these only handled grain as a
side issue: In 1s7etthe wheat receipts. of
the city reached 5,os4,e75 bushels, nearly
all OF which was consumed by the mills.
OF this amount only 4s,22o bushels were
shipped. In 1881, when the Chamber Of
4 Commerce was organized, shipments

A Model Building.

The first consideration in the planning Of
the new chamber of commerce was adap-
tation to the great business that was to be
conducted within Its walls. 1t was also a
first consideration to make the building
permanent. From foundation stone to
roof everything was placed with the
thought that 1t must stay and not wear
out. The best materials were selected in
every instance and the best plans of con-
struction were followed. The building
covers space in dimensions 1877 feet by
l82 feet, the former frontage being on
Fourth avenue and the latter on Fourt,
street. The building is ten stories In
height except the part occupied by the
trading-room. Here a considerable space
is left to provide light.
The internal arrangement of the build
ing is with reference to the special re-
quirements Of a grain trading body The

A Conservative Institution.

It was the idea Of the founders Of the
MINNEAPOLIS Chamber of Commerce to
make it a. conservative institution with
the grain and flour business as the first
consideration; but the objects or organi-
cation as outlined in the articles Of incor-
poration were made broad enough to COW
err a wide range of functions. They stated
the purposes of incorporation to be ITO
facilitate the buying and selling OF all
products, to inculcate principles Of JUS
speedy adjustment Of business disputes,
to acquire and disseminate valuable COM
mercial information, and, generally. to
secure to its members the benefits Of CO.

innate business pursuits, and to advance

How we'll the founders Of the great or

take the time to pay visit to the mag
nifcent new building at the corner Of
Fourth street and Fourth avenue s.
From its very inception, the Minneapolis
Chamber Of Commerce was live insti-
tuition and filled a long felt want. It's
affairs were conducted on sound business
principles and there was a confidence
created in it that is stronger to-day than
Gibraltar. At first the daily session
lasted from 11:80 to 1890. After a time
this period proved insufficient and it was

Minneapolis Is the very center Of this

realize that the Minneapolis Chamber OF
Commerce stands at the head In the list
Of cash wheat trading organizations; that
Minneapolis has become the greatest
wheat market in the world and that Min
neapolis is by far the largest flour-pro-
ducing center In the world, and there Is
no question that Minneapolis will main
tain this supremacy in the handling OF
these products in the years to come.
Wonderful commercial strides have been
made by Minneapolis during the last score
Of wears. Within the last twenty years
the Chamber Of Commerce has twice out
grown Its quarters and is now housed IN
one Of the most complete as we'll as cost
ly structures devoted to buying and SELL
ing grain. The Minneapolis Chamber OF
Commerce grew out Of a crying need for
market" Previous to 1881 the bulk of
the wheat shipped to this city was pur-
chased by the flour mills thru the Millers
association, which naturally fixed the

ceivers of wheat, but it was evident that
the time was ripe for an open market
here and that prices must be established

Colonel George D. Rogers. now secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, was the
first to propose an organization After
many difficulties were overcome ne was

from southern and eastern millers. In
1882 as high as 100000 bushels were
shipped out, and since the shipments have
been as high as 81, 100000 bushels.
The number Of grain firms increased
rapidly and Minneapolis soon became rec
ognized as the leading grain center Of the
world.

Dainty Accessories and Pretty Ma
terinIs for Fan and Winter
Costumes.

There is a fad abroad for wearing
tiny fans in the sleeve, a la Japonaise.
In the shops the little spangl"d fans
so much in vogue are already called
sleeve fans, although they are mostly
intended to be swung from long chains,
reports the New York Post.
The fall and winter street suits will
be made with skirts OF instep length,
and the long fitted coat. This coat IN
various adaptations will be the prevail
ing model for street and carriage Co.'S
tunes. Its skirt grows longer, quite
to the knee, indeed, and below it for
dress wear.
Among the prettiest materials of the
year are the new silk grenadines. They
are as sheer as gauZe, and have a fine
satiny finish. White g%renadine with a
pattern of strewn roses formed the ma
terial of a lovely dancing gown. 1t was
simply made owe pink taffeta and had
a bertha and sleeve caps Of point lace,
and a girdle with long ends of black vel
vet ribbon.
Among dainty accessories to the tot
lette are many scarfs. stoles and capes,
but non prettier than the plain, long
scarfs of liberty gauze which come in
a variety of delicate colors as well as
black and white. These scarfs, although
a yard or more in length, are so fine that
they fold up in very small space. A
black one for mourning has a border on
all sides of black marabout feathers.
The fashionable fur next season, say
the importers, will be mole. Already it
is fashionable in Europe, and American
furriers have placed immense orders for
1t. Moleskin makes up well, and wears
as well as squirrel, while in effect 1t is
far handsomer. 1t has a rich, shaded
look, changing from light to dark, max
ing it both handsome and becoming. Err
mine will be almost twice as expensive
as it was last winter, the catch having
been very small, and the demand for it
very large.
The full skirt is certainly coming back.
Not a few gowns are being made with
long, straight skirts gathered all around
the waist line and falling in full folds
to the feet in nun-llke severity OF line.
Skirts are a very uncertain quantity this
season, and the economical woman who
expects to wear some of her gowns an
other summer or into the autumn is at
a loss how to have them cut. The
tight skirt, f1aring at the bottom, the
ruff1ed and draped skirt, the sun plait-
ed, the tucked, and now the full skirt
all seem equally correct. The probable
tiles are that some form of fullness
will soon Danish the sheath effect to
which we have become accustomed. 1t
will be wise in buying handsome gowns
to buy a few extra yards of material, to
permit of alterations later.

to 39.1-393 inches" Unfortunately, the
standard disappeared at the great fire
which destroyed the houses OF parlia-
ment in 1884, and, as the committee sub
sequently appointed by the astronomer
royal reported against the accuracy OF
the pendulum method, the duty of restor-
ing the lost standard was intrusted to a
royal commission. 1t was not till 1854
that the task was accomplished. Taking
he best secondary evidence available,
the commissioners produced a standard
bar of gun metal, the distance between
two lines on which, crossing gold studs,
is one yard at 81 degrees Fahrenheit and
30 inches barometric pressure. Author
lied copies of this legalized standard are
preserved at the mint, the royal OBJ

FIXING LENGTH STANDARDS.
How a Constant Unit of Measurement
Is Fixed and Maintained
in England.

Preparations are being made for de-
posting parliamentary copies Of the
imperial standards of length along the
floor of Westminster hall, says the Lon
don Telegraph, of recent date.
The delicate undertaking, which is
being carried out in its initial stages by
the first commissioner of works, will be
taken over on it's completion by the
standards department Of the board OF
trade as the responsible authority in
such matters. The standards, it is un.
derstood, will be identical with those
which were placed some years ago in
Trafalgar square. There are, in fact.
four sets, the first ranging from n foot
20 an imperial yard, while the second Is
q pole or perch, the third a chain of sc
feet, and the fourth the standard meas
'ure of 100 feet. Students of history
scarcely need being reminded that King
Edward decreed that there should be
but one standard measure-that kept at
Winchester-for all England, and Mag.
ma Charta contained a similar provision
with regard to weight. Strict enforce
iment of the law was found impracticable
Tor generations, a great number of Gus
ltomary weights and measures contin-
uing in use, especially in transactions
relating to land, corn and wool. Finally,
however, parliament insisted upon the
observance of general uniformity. Since
1926 al imperial system of weights and
measures has been in vogue throughout
the kingdom and an act passed in 1875
,infiicts heavy penalties for using weights
and not recognized by the law.
Naturally, the man in the street" re-
Quires to know how the standards are
tasoertained and established. Chief
among the earliest standards of length
were the palm, the foot and the cubit,
There were two leading cubits-the ma
Ftural cubit Of Egypt, Chaldea, Phoenicia
and Greece, and the royal cubit of Mem
phis. Tht Greek foot passed into Italy,
where it WIS divided into IL inches. The
Romans useo q three-foot ulna, while the
Saxons adopted an ell, or yard of 36
inches, based on the Roman foot. This
measurement remained in England, al
though the lapse of time saw various
notifications in the ell. So matters
progressed until 1850, when a copy Of an
old yard measure found in the tower of
London was made for a select committee
of the house of commonsAand in 1924
this copy was legalized by Sarliament,
with a direction that "in the event Of it's
being lost the standard should Ne recov-
cred by making the length of Amean
