The Globe exults thusly over the
election of Cones:
"Geo. B. Cones was elected from
the Ia4th District by II majority.
The railroad talk against Mr..
Cones didn't stick and he is a
mighty good man for the place."
Now if by sThe railroad talk
against Mr.. Cones," the Globe man
refers to the effort made to get Mr..
Cones to declare himself on antici-
pated railroad legislation, we think
it stuck considerable.
The Globe devoted more space to
Mr.. Cones than to all the other can
didates combined.
If upon comparison of Mr..
Cones majority of 81 in this county
with the majority of the head of the
ticket of a17, or compare his major
ity this year with his handsome md
ljority of I35 seven years ago when
he was elected County Treasurer,
the Globe man can find any feather:
for his cap he is welcome to them.
Had Cones declared himself or
the peoples side of the impending
battle for better railroad service,
why should he not have ran ever
with the head of the ticket, instead
of riding in on the rear platform o
the most sweeping political boom O.
recent years?

THE scRlBNER.lIeeEY COMPANY

Sheet metal work, both in the ex-
terror and interior ornamental work of
modern building. has come to be almost
as much matter of specification by
the architect as is the lath and plaster
for the wall finish, and in st. Paul the
Scribner-Libbey company occupy a
very prominent position in the field as
furnishers of this class of work.
The company was established in
1870, and in 1888 was incorporated. It
transacts a general contracting bust
ness in the furnishing Of all classes of
cornicing, sheet metal work and roof
ing, in this latter department carrying
variety Of materials and making
speciality Of pitch and gravel, asphalt,
slate, tile, iron and tin roofing.
- They are manufacturers of galvan
lied iron and copper cornices, window
caps, corrugated iron, Hayes Patent
Skylights, F'ireproof Doors and Fire
proof Shutters.
The officers of the company are Will
liam Rhodes, president; A. G. Staples,
vice president, and George H. Ran
ney, secretary and treasurer.
The office and works are located in
a building especially erected for the
company about three years ago, at the
corner of West Fifth and Fort streets.

MINNESOTA ROOFING AND COR
NICE WORKS


With but little more than a year of
business history to its credit, the bust
ness and prospects of the Minnesota
Roofing and Cornice works are such
that much older company might well
envy them.
Starting in business in small place
and a. modest way in May, 1903 the
company soon found itself in possess
sion of a number of remuneratiye and
important contracts, to obtain which
they had to. enter into competition with
the Oldest and strongest people in their
line locally. Among the first contracts
secured may be mentioned the furnish
ing of cornices, skyHghts and roofs, as
well as all floor felts for the Foley
Bros. & Kelly building, the Gordon
Ferguson building, and the mammoth
new Northern Pacific freight house, the
latter building being 1000 feet long.
Surely this was an excellent showing
for firm but in it's infancy.
Concluding that the quarters then oc-
cupied were inadequate for their rap
idly growing enterprise, the members
of the company carefully selected site
for the erection of a. building more
suitable to their purpose, and the pres
ent home of the works was erected at
135-137 East Twelfth street, between
Robert and Jackson streets. The build
ing is 40 by 96 feet, the front portion
draughting room, with the factory and
works in the rear.
The banner business of the firms
history, however, has been had this
year, they having so far secured the
contracts for all metal work at Fort
Smelling under T. Reardons contracts.
and also to do all metal and stating
on the new work at the fort under
Newman & Hoy'S contracts.
They have also received the con-
tracts to cover the ornamental copper
entrances to the new state capitol, and
to make and erect all galvanized iron
cornices on the new Criterion theater,
and to complete all the cornices, sky
lights and roofs at the new Winneshiek
hotel of DEBORAH, Iowa.
They also do large business in steel
ceilings, and at the present have con-
tracts for 10000 square feet to be con-
structed in different new buildings.
They are also sole agents for the cele-
brated J. A. & w. Bird & Co.'S Rex
F'lintkote roofing in which they do an
extensive business. The members of
the firm are practical mechanics and
know the business thoroughly. They
attend to all work personally.

E. G. LEsLIE PAPER co.

Mr.. F. G. Leslie, president of the F.
G. Leslie Paper company, is one of the
young business men that has achieved
wonderful success in the paper line.
Mr.. Leslie has spent all his life in the
paper business, starting as Office boy
at the age of eighteen. He was con-
nected for a number of years with the
Minneapolis Paper company, and after
wards with the John Leslie Paper COM
pany, of Minneapolis. Being an ener-
getic young man, and particularly well
posted in the paper business, he
branched out himself Feb. 1, 1901, in
the three story building at 1872 East
Third street. Quarters being too small
for the great increase of business, he
moved to S6-SS East Fifth street, and
from there he moved to his present
building, 213 East Third street. This
building comprises floor space of $4,000
square feet. The F. G. Leslie Paper
company is one Of the best known
houses In its line in the Northwest.
Being a young firm, scarcely three
years of age, Mr.. Leslie deserves great
credit in the development of this con-
Germ. His paper stock is sold in every
state in the Northwest.

The success of the Menomonie Falls
venture aided in interesting the farm
ers. Before the work in constructing
the factory at Chippewa Falls was be-
gun the Chippewa Sugar company had
contracted an acreage of 1000 among
the farmers of adjacent territory.
From this acreage it is expected that
10000 tons of beets will be harvested
this year. So pleased are the planters
with the results thus far that an
acreage of 5000 will without doubt be
contracted next year.
Sugar beet growers in Wisconsin
have raised as much as thirty tons to
an acre. Twelve tons to the acre is the
general average on from 1000 to 5000
acres. When it is known that only
one beet to the square foot is raised
the size of the average beet can easily
be realized. There are planters who
have beets growing on their farms that
weigh as much as six pounds.
Hundreds of girls and boys have
found employment in the beet fields.
Their work of punching, thinning and
hoeing is easy and profitable. The
Chippewa Sugar Co., has paid out this
year in wages to this class of laborers
about $4,000.

Sugar Beet Raising in Wisconsin.

Sugar Beet Raising in Wisconsin.
BY the 1st of October Wisconsin will
have three beet sugar factories. One
was erected three years ago at Memo
monte Falls, a second is being erected
at GAINESVILLE and the third at Chippewa
Falls.
The factory in Chippewa Falls will
be the largest in the state, it's capacity
being 800 tons Of beets day, while the
capacity of the other two factories is
each 500 tons. 1t will cost 100000.
Sugar beet growing was in its ex-
perimental state three years ago. The
Wisconsin Sugar company attempted
then to interest the farmers in the
vicinity of Menomonie Falls. The re-
suit was that farmers contracted to
devote 1900 acres to sugar beet raising
and the company erected a factory.
Since then it has been found that beet
raising in the vicinity of Menomonie
Falls is an unqualified success, and the
result is that the company this year
was compelled to limit the contracted
acreage to 5000 acres,

if it were not possible to make three
miles a minute.
It was pace that made the govern.
ment mail officials grin, but it was no
pace for sedate burghers and business
men.
At Rio the pace suddenly fell off.
Engineer Sullivan looked at his watch.
"On time," he said briefly. The Fast
Mail covered the remaining few miles
at handy clip, stopped for a minute
at crossing and swung into Water
town, 931 miles from Milwaukee. on
time to a second.
Ninety three miles in a trife more
than 100 minutes actual running time!
Keeling off the miles at speed of
practically mile minute, Engineer
Sullivan passed the yard limits at
Sparta on time, only to find the signals
out against him, and Train No. 2,
which had the right of way be-
cause it was southbound train, losing
time and late. The heavy mail train
pulled into clear on a siding and
twelve minutes lapsed before the bright
white headlight of the southbound pas
senger showed around a curve.
Twelve minutes lost was a handicap,
but it did not mean much after the
other things that had happened. The
big Az locomotive, with driving wheels
seven feet in diameter, swung out on
the main line again, and after few
strokes of her pistons, sent the speed
rate climbing.
Eighty-eight miles an hour was in
teresting, but not sensational, after
having made 90 miles an hour. The
heavy train pulled into North La Crosse
on time-26 miles in 2315 minutes.
The regular passenger trains of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way make speed records sometimes.
Their schedules are moderate, yet their
engine drives are in constant danger Of
minor delays and small losses of time,
every minute of which means faster
actual running schedule and more
speed in order to cover the remaining
mileage on time. To handle big
train requires several qualities most
men value absolute selfconfd and
self-reliance on the part Of the engine
driver, conservative nerve and daring
