Opening of New Pence Automobile
Building Attracted Much Attention.

i
The Pence Automobile company
5Hennepin avenue, Saturday, and cele-
brated the occasion by an opening
that attracted hundreds Of people in
terested in horseless carriages and
fine machinery. The building, which
is of brick, four stories and a base
ment, was designed and built especial
ly for the automobile business and
there is nothing intthe whole country
in automobile homes that can sur
pass it.. Big, roomy, splendidly APP
pointed, the Pence building is a big
addition to the retail center and
speaks eloquently for the magnitude of
the automobile, business.
1t was a veritable automobile show
at the opening Saturday and the many
machines were in gala attire in honor
Of the event. There were machines
varying from fVeTtto thirty horse
power, a Cadillac delivery wagon, an
|electric brougham and many other in
|tautomobile ttoggery'' was a whole
|sshow in itself, and continued every
thing that the most exacting chauffeur
could ask for. I2
The first floor is devoted to a sales
room, office and general garage, and
is fitted UP in hardwood. There is a
big, wide driveway from Hennepin to
the rear Of the building. The other
floors are devoted to a repair depart
ment, salesroom and storage depart
ment. An electric elevator, with a
capacity Of 5000 lbs, takes the ma
| chimes from one floor to another
The whole building is heated by
steam.
There are special facilities 70,
l,cleaning and garaging machines an6
l{every convenience for quick repairs
| to be found in the new building.
| The business Of the Pence company
/ has grown to immense proportions
during the past year and the new
| building became an actual necessity
Not only are Minneapolis people buy
ling machines literally, but the cal
| from out-of-town points is continual,
lgrowing, The machines handled ex
clusively by the Pence company art
las follows: Cadillac, Pope-Toledo
4 Autocar, Stevens-Duryea, Packard
4 Pope Hartford, Waverly and Wood
Electrics, Vehicle Equipment com
i pany, broughams and heavy trucks
i IN addition to these machines tn,
Pence company has the agency for tn,
famous Zoos stationery and portabl,
gas and gasolene engines.
The success Of this big automobil
4 firm is due in. large degree to tn
many high grade machines offered t,
the public and the power Of quick de
Il livery. The opening of the immens
i building for automobiles exclusiyel
4 means that the business is here t
stay and that the driving Of the pow
Ierful machines is not passing fad.

NEW MEN EMPLOYED
Trouble Anticipated Between Contracting
Company and Building Trades
+

Trouble IS brewing between the G. F.:
Haglin company and the Building Trades
council. Twenty men quit work on the
Peavey residence on Park avenue Friday
morning on account of the presence of
five nonunion men on the work. Three
new men were put to work this morning.
II do not know whether they are union
men. or not" said c. F. Haglin this
morning. IT did not ask them I only
asked them If they were willing to go
to work. ~"
Mr. Haglin has announced an intention
Of going iaheadl with the building. Labor
leaders declare that If an attempt is made
to fill the strikers .>places with nonunion
men it will result in the calling out Of all
union men in the employ Of the Haglin
company. There are about $50 workmerl
who are likely to be affected in case such
an order is issued. The contractor has
announced that he has no idea of back
ing down, and interesting developments
are looked for by tomorrow.

FOREIGN EYES
ON N. W FARMERS
COOPERATIVE GRAIN HANDLING
INTERESTS LION AND BEAR.
Convention of Exchange. Begins in
/ Minneapolis Tomorrow - Selling
Agents to Keep Tab on Foreign Con-
dftfons According to One Plan Of the
Organization.

Russia and England are watching
with interest and apparently with
some apprehension the progress of
the movement among farmers in the
northwestern states for the organiza-
ton OF cooperative society that will
enable agriculturists to store and dis.
pose Of their products without the aid
Of the niddlemen. Both governments
have sent interrogations to their reps
resentatives in the United States as to
the exact nature and scope and the
possible effects of the plan.
The convention Of the exchange wilt
begin In this city tomorrow, and it
Is expected that many farmers not
only from Minnesota but also from
the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas Iowa
and Wisconsin will attend. There will
be two sessions. The first will be held
Tomorrow morning at the Hotel
Brunswick, the conventions headquar-
ters, and the second on Wednesday in
the senate chamber in the state capt.
tol. c.. e. Jackson Of Bruckman,
Mimi, president Of the exchange will
arrive tonight.
The exchange proposes to own a line
Of warehouses, and establish selling
agencies to handle the grain products
Of the members. A part of the scheme
is that the selling agents shall OBJ
tain; information as to the condition
of the foreign markets and their re-
quirements, SO that the memb ers may
know when it is. advisable to hold or
sell their grain. It Is hoped, too, that
| an arrangement may be erected
whereby it will be possible for the
exchange to furnish it's members with
sufficient ready money for the moving
of the crops, securing the same by
| mortgages on the grain.
It. is the purpose to make. the or
ganization interstate, and it may be
that the cooperation of farmers in
other countries, especially Canada
will be secured later. If this is done
the farmers feel that they will be able
/ to feed their grain to the market in
such way as to make the prices fair
ly uniform and profitable.

WANT SLEEPERS BACK
ExcursIonIsts Are Meeting with Disap'
+rr pointments. .s.

Some 1000 persons are endeavoring to-
day to secure sleeper reservations before
Friday night, the expiratio date of the
cheap fare tickets from Chicago. The
Milwaukee and North Western roads sim
ply had to throw up their hands. It is
problem to get twenty trainloads of
passengers back to Chicago when they all
want to go In sleepers and big part Of
the equipment in California. Altho hun
dreds came up in day coaches they want
to sleep on the way back and are roaring
with indignation to-day because they
have to go back on some other road at
the regular fare If they, want sleepers.
The opinion prevailed to-day that the two
companies were simply turning down
those who had the cut rate tickets. The
trouble is that with the regular traffic
neither company can supply the excur-
sionists with sleeping quarters.
