TO HEAR OTHERS VIEWS.
RETAIL DEALERS PAVING COM
MITTEE WILL CONSULT DOWN
TOWN PROPERTY OWNERS RE-
GARDING NICoLLET.

Anton Knob lauch, w. i. Harris and
George D. Dayton, composing the COM
mittee on paving appointed by the Min
neapolis Retail Dealers association,
held their first meeting yesterday. No
formal action was taken.
The general situation was discussed
at some length and it was decided that
a series of meetings should be held, at
which the downtown property owners
should attend and give their views.
Mr.. Dayton expressed himself as OPP
posed to the proposition of stringing
out the payments for term Of ten
years, as it savored too much Of the
principle Of borrowing from a loan
shark at an exorbitant rate Of interest.
The property owners should save this
interest if possible.
Mayor. D. P. Jones, one Of the trus-
tees of Plymouth church, says that the
congregation is ready to cooperate

surfacing the asphalt streets with as.
phalt, according to the plan advocated
by City Engineer Andrew Rinker.

HOW MUCH WHEAT
IS USED At HOME?
NEW ESTIMATE MADE BY DE-
PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
For Seed and Food, the Domestic Con-
sumption Is placed at ,6.23 Bushels
Per Capita-This Figure Materially
Reduces Estimate of This Year S
Grain Available for Export.

The bureau of statistics, of the de-
partment of agriculture has Just issued
brochure, compiled by Frank An
dreWs, expert in transportation Stats
tics, and bearing the Endorsement Of
Professor w. NJ. Hays, formerly Of Min
neapolis, now assistant secretary of ag-
riculture. It contains mass of in
one item that will be Of interest," to the
Minneapolis grain trade stands ont
prominently. This is new estimate
Of the per capita consumption of wheat.
The United States uses, according to
this report, for food and seed, 6.23 bush
els wheat per capita.
This will settle a question that has
long been debated on the trading floor
in tho smoking room and in the brokers'
offices at the Chamber Of Commerce. No
two men ever have ugreed upon the
amount Of wheat used up at home.
There have been estimates, some of
them semi-authoritative, but opinions
have differed. W. s. Patterson Of the
Liverpool Corn Trade association re-
Gently. estimated the actual food con-
sumption of wheat in the United States
at A. bushels. ...-
Last year, with crop Of 100000
bushels wheat, there were exports Of
44,ooo,ooO. This year the crop was
larger, estimated from 624,OOO,OOO to
66O,O00,000 bushels. The smaller fig
ures are now being more generally ac-
cepted BIZ the trade. The question then
is one OF determination Of the export
able. surplus, which is the balance that
IL the long run makes the prices for
the northwest farmer.
The national reciprocity conference,
held in Chicago some months ago, put
out the figures at 15O,OOO,OOO to 2OO,-
100000 bushels as the Quantity Of
wheat the United States would have for
export this year. These figures have
been generally used and have become
fixed in the mind of the trade, many
grain men, in view Of the good north
west yields, believing that 2OO,OO0OOO
bushels was not an overestimate Of the
quantity the country would have left
to sell to. Europe.
| If, however, the estimate of e.as
bushels per capita for home require
ments be accepted as accurate, the
population Nov. being about 83,0OO,-
| 600, the home demand would be for
/ 81, 100000 bushels. If the crop was
624,O0O,O0O, bushels, only 107,OO0,00
would be left for export, and if the
higher figures Of 660,000,0OO bushels be
taken, the exportable, surplus would
still be only 143 100000 bushels.
J., In view Of the situation a broad, and
the known larger requirements of Euro
pean countries, owing: to the heavy
Russian crop losses, the figures are in.
teresting, for difference Of $4,000, 900
or 100000 bushels in the quantity of
wheat available for export in all parts
Of the country might make material
difference in the price received by the
farmers in Minnesota and the tDakotas
for the wheat not yet marketed. -

ROAD WAS TO PAY
EXPENSE OF TRIP
WHY CERTAIN DELEGATES DID
NOT ATTEND RATE CONVENTION.
Former Minnesotan, Now Residing in
California, Says Delegates from His
Present Home Were to Have All Elk
penses to Chicago Meeting Paid by
the Southern Pacific.

Colonel Samuel P. Jennison, former
~ a resident Of Red Wing in this state
and well known there as the editor Of
the Republican of Red Wing, was IN
Minneapolis yesterday en- route to his
present home in Covina, southern Cali
fornia. He is engaged there in the
fruit business and is In position to
know something about the burdensome
rates imposed upon the fruit shippers
by the railroads of the southwest. He
relates facts with regard to the at
gates to the Chicago rate convention
which go to show how the railroads
endeavored, in that case at least, to
pack the convention.
Without any previous discussion,
without even calling meeting OF any
recognized organization for the Pur-
pose Of selecting delegates, the matter
was sprung at a social function and
five men were named as willing to 60
to Chicago to attend the rate conven-
ton and pay their. own expenses One
Of these men, however, was not well Sc
lected. He did not know that the South
ern Pacific railroad expected to pay
the expenses Of the delegates sent from
that locality, and when notified that ne
had been chosen for the office OF dele
gate, protested that he could not 60
because he could not either afford the
time or the expense. This he stated
to one of the other selected delegates,
who proceeded to inform him that the
railroad company had very kindly
agreed to furnish transportation, meals
and sleeping-car accommodations to the
delegates from that vicinity.
This opened the eyes Of this unso'
phisticated fifth delegate, and he very
promptly told the story, with the result
that none of the four who had expected
to 90 ever went to the Chicago conven
ton. The little game was exposed ane
five men who would have gone TO- Chi
cago ostensibly to represent the fruit
shippers, but actually to help pack thu
convention in the interests Of the rail
roads, did not find it worth while tx
leave the state.
It is such Incidents as these that seen
to justify the. action of Mr.. Bacon II
requiring pledge Of the support q
the president to all who came into hi
| conventions. g.. - "'' -

- J cessity of New Bridge. -

The Great Northern Railway company
has amended it's plan for the Bryn
Mawr freight yards SO as to make it
avenue bridge. Two additional tracks
can be laid under the present structure
without making any changes and by re-
ducing the proposed yards, the two
tracks will suffice at this point. At
Laurel avenue the original plans are re-
tanned and the bridge must be length.
ened about 260 feet to cross the new
yards. The change is made for the
purpose Of relieving the1company Of the
expense of supplying a new steel bridge
Alderman A. E. Merrill Of the fourth
ward says that the proposed change in
the plans does not greatly alter the gen
eral proposition. The Great Northern
company wishes to establish termina
freight yards in residence section OF
