PRINTERS HAVE A BOARD
JOB SHOP PRoPRIEToRs OF THE
TWIN CITIES GET ON A COM
MON BASIS.

The Twin City Printers Board of Trade
has been organized, including in its mem
bership nearly all the job printers of both
cities. The Minneapolis office and as
semblyroom is at SO Third street s. The
purpose OF the organization is said to be
mainly educational. Two experts are here
from the east to establish uniform sys-
tenn of accounting and to ascertain the
true cost of getting out jobs. An average
minimum price will be fixed for each class
of work, and members of the board are
expected not to charge less than this fig
ure, tho they may ask more There is no
penalty agreement to observe the sched-
ule, the only penalty being the loss of
profit If 1t Is disregarded.
Gilbert Byron, president OF the Mime
apol1s board, said this morning that the
organization was no more of a trust than
the associations maintained for years by
grocers lImbermen and other commercial
interests. Its work would be open and the
chief benefits to be derived were those ac-
cru1ng from a common system
j. M. Hutchinson of Pittsburg and

FIRE PROTECTION
BEING PROVIDED
BOARD OF CONTROL ANSWERS
INSPECTORS REPORT.
Chairman jacobson Says Work Was
Hanpered by Legislatures Failure
to Appropriate Money 80 Improve
ments at Red Wing - Training
School Under Way.

The management of the Red Wing
training school has already Under way
improvements to do away with the
criticisms made by Labor Commits
sioner O'Donnell as to lack of fire
protection superintendent Whittier
says 4-inch Waterman is being laid
to the girls dormitory, and stand
pipe will be placed inside with hose
connections on each floor. Exten-
sion ladders have been bought, and a
squad Of twenty boys drilled as fire
company.
Members of the board of control
cay that they recognize the justice Of
most Of the criticisms in the report,
but they are improving conditions as
fast as possible, and do not consider
that any of the state wards are in
danger from fire. The danger Is to
the buildings. Chairman Jacobson
says:
1t is impossible for the board to con-
denim the old buildings that were con-
structed twenty-five years ago and have
few of the modern safeguards against fire.
In many of the institutions we have not
enough room now. We are making i'm
provements as fast as we can with our
| limited appropriations.
| AS an Illustration of the way the board
has not always been able to carry out its
| wishes, I might say that the board has
asked the legislature twice for funds to
install plumbing plant at the state pris-
on. where the labor commissioners says
the plumbing Is in bad condition The
| legislature has not appropriated any
money for this purpose. and of course the
board could not make the Improvement
The board has made and is continuing
to make many alterations at the state in
| situations to better the fire protection and
the sanitary condition. Several improve
ments have been made since Mr.. O'Don
nell made the inspection of the institu-
tons. New plumbing plants are planned
at Hastings and Anoka, and when com
pleted there will be none better in the
United States. We are putting in an in
dependent water supply at Fergus Falls
and extending the water mains to the
girls cottage at the Red Wing training
school.
An examination Of Mr. O'Donnell's re-
port shows that most Of the suggestions
relate principally to the need of additional
apparatus to protect the buildings from
fire rather than to save the inmates from
burning to death. Some Of the buildings,
which the labor commissioner says have
no fire protection, are two-story structures
provided with several stairways. SO that
there is no danger of the inmates being
burned to death.

NORTHWEST CAN
MOVE ITS CROPS
BUT LITTLE EASTERN MONEY
WILL BE NEEDED.
Banks in This Section Better Fixed for
Movement Than Ever Before
Less Money Demanded Because OF
the New System of Ticket and
Draft.

The northwest is going to be able
to handle the crop movement This
Iali with little aid from the east. The
statement has been made that the
west IS now entirely independent Of
the east for money to move the crops.
put IS not yet true as is corroborated
by interviews with the bankers. IT
will be necessary to withdraw the
eastern balances of the twin city
banks and little help with eastern
money will be needed also, If the crop
movement is quick, and quick move
ment is generally predicted.
1t IS asserted that the northwestern
ever before to handle the movement,
altho they are fairly loaned up. The
demand for currency from eastern
cities will be later this year than
usual and will likely be heavier than
last year.
On account Of the increase in bank
facilities in the northwest and the
opening Of deposit accounts by the
farmers, a great change has taken
place In the method Of handling the
crop and the amount of actual cur
rency required has been diminished
greatly.
Formerly the elevator companies
expressed money to their line agents
TO pay for the wheat. This required
lot of money and when the move
ment was rapid it was impossible to
get the money back quick enough to
enable the Minneapolis banks to take
care Of the demand. A stringency
resulted.
Now the farmer receives a wheat
ticket which he deposits in his bank
and it is cash to him. The bank
draws on the Minneapolis grain firm
Tor the amount Of this ticket thru it's
Minneapolis correspondent bank. The
grain firm gives the bank check, and
instead Of shipping the returns on the
draft to the original bank, it is often
retained by the Minneapolis bank and
placed to the credit Of the country
bank. This operation is completed
without the handling Of a cent of
actual money.
But to accommodate farmers who
have stocking boards, actual money
has to be shipped to the country
banks. One of Minneapolis institu-
tons will ship an average Of $780,
600 a day during harvest. This
amount seems large, but is only a
drop in the bucket against the total.
The difference between the money
shipments and the value of the actual
crop at the market price a bushel
shows an enormous amount Of bust
ness done by the ticket and draft sys-
tenn.

RITES WERE IMPRESSIVE
Funeral Services for j.. L. Dobbin Held at

Funeral services for Joseph Leonard
Dobbin were held at Masonic Temple this
afternoon. In accordance with the Scot
fish rite ritual, the services were ex-
tremely simple. Rev Marion D. Shutter
of the Church Of the Redeemer, which Mr.
Dobbin attended, spoke a few words Of
glowing tribute for the noble life just fin
ished. and after the services in the Tenn
pie the interment was made in the Ma
sonic lot, Lakewood. A brief ritual was
read and a prayer offered by DR.. Shutter
From II pm. until am. the body lay
in state in the Scottish rite rooms,
watched by a guard Of homer composed Of
the thirty third degree Masons and details
from the mounted commandery and Nor
gan post, G.. A. r. The coffin reposed
in state in the center Of the large audi
forum and was almost concealed by the
wealth of floral tributes. The room was
bare Of furniture and the standing guard
and the dim light rendered the last
obsequies deeply impressive.

WORST RUST IS .... .....:
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
COVERING WHEAT ON LANDS
NORTH OF MITCHELL.
Badly Affected-Red Rust Will Do
Little Damage, but the Black Rust
Is More Serious-summary for the
States.

The Van Observation-Disclosures crop re-
port for the week says:
Careful investigation shows con-
dttions in three states to be as fol-
lows.
I'm the southern part Of South Da-
kota there was little damage, as the
crop was mostly ready for harvest.
The section which suffered the great
est damage lies thru the eastern coun-
ties of South Dakota and north of
Mitchell. In this district, where the
prospect ten days ago was for the
best yield of wheat ever harvested in
South Dakota, the prospect is now
for a yield no better than that of
1908, possibly not so good.
There are several reports from
the southeast corner Of North Dako-
ia showing rust, and rust Is noticed
by reporters thru the Red River val
ley and thru southern Minnesota; but,
with two or three exceptions, the
opinion is expressed that the crop will
not be damaged by the small amount
OF red rust noticed. Some reporters,
who have evidently been very care
full in their examinations, say that
the heavy rains of the goth have
washed off the red rust and fields
which had shown rust have improved.
Where the wheat has black rust, it
is seriously damaged.
ALI OF the reports used as the ba-
sis for this summary were written
July 20 and 80, and many of them
say that there had been no damage to
the crop and that the district covered
never promised better yield than
now. 1t is to be noted also that oats
and barley have not been damaged
by rust
Northern points all mention the
lateness of the crop, and there is gem
eral fear Of frost damage to wheat
in North Dakota.
Rye and barley are about out of
the way and the wheat harvest is
general in South Dakota and south
ern Minnesota"

Roosevelt Marching club last evening to
