MAKING HARD FIGHT
Swift & Go. Do Not Want to Pay
$5,0O0,OOO Assessment.

Swift & Co., who operate packing
plant at South st. Paul, are engaged in
a fight with the state Of minnesota
before the auditor of Dakota county.
The state is endeavoring to tax the cor
poration on the value Of it's franchise
and is now engaged in fixing basis Of
value, The corporation has been sum-
moned to show cause why it's assess
ment. should not be fixed at $5,O00,OOO,
and is putting up hard fight. Henry
Veeder Of Chicago, general counsel for
Swift & Co.. assisted by G. A. Severance
Of st. Paul. represents the packers.
general, is conducting the principal ar
gument for the state.
The attorneys for the packers are
entering vigorous objections to every
point that is raised. Alleged interfer-

part Of the state is claimed on the
ground that it is attempting to assess
the franchise Of foreign corporation

BIG GAIN SHOWN
IN FLOUR OUTPUT.
LAST YEARS RECORD EXCEEDED
BY 100000 BARRELS.
With Conditions Adverse to Flour
Makers for the First Half Of the
Year, the Total Production Still
y Shows Most Flattering Increase
Records Are Broken.

Figures available to date indicate that
the -four milling industry of Minneapo-
lis will make a showing Of 100000 bar
rels increase in production for 1905, as
compared with 1904. It is impossible
to approximate it more closely at this
time. Only eight mills of the twenty
two are in operation, the regular an
nual holiday dull season being now on.
With continuance OF production at
estimated. The closing of another mill,
the starting up Of more mills in the two
business days remaining or the opera
ton of any part of the capacity over
the double New York holiday would
make difference Of 100000 to $4,000
barrels in the total. The showing will
be favorable in any case.
For the entire year Of 1904 the pro-
duction was l3,652,00o barrels. To date
rels.
Many Records Broken.
Milling is one great industry in
which the calendar year comparisons
will not do. full justice to Minneapolis.
see a fair gain, but the fact that the
industry has just passed thru the most
active season ever known, a period in
which new daily, weekly and monthly
records Of production were broken, will
not appear. The short wheat crop of
1904 showed its most SERIOUS effect in
the first half of 1905, and flour produc.
ton was light: The recent big fall
business, in which 2,o25,0oo barrels and
1850 carloads Of flour and millstuffs
were loaded out in single month
brought up the total to exceed 1904
despite the unfavorable conditions rul
ing early.
At present the industry is in highly
favorable condition. When the holiday
dullness is passed, all the mills will
run again. Everything indicates that
1906 will be the biggest year ever
known in the -four trade, and that the
l9O5-06 will show new high records al
around.

this year. The heavy decrease Of 29..
$4,000 in the single cut is due to
heavy receipts Of Pacific coast shingles.
The decrease in lumber and lath is due
to the prolonged shutdowns which The
mills experienced, the longest being
thirty days from high water. .S

MAKES FLAT WHEELS
Damp, Frosty Weather Causes Cars to
Skid on Rails.

The weather of the last few days is
very hard on Street car wheels and
FLATS are the: order Of the day. These
wheels pound with all degrees Of force,
according to the extent of the flatten-
ing. The trouble is caused primarily by
slippery rails. The drivers Of the cars
use too much air in stopping and thus
permit the wheels to skid on the rails
until the momentum has been exhaust
ed. Quick stops in slippery weather

surface increases until the pounding be-
comes uncomfortable. Sand cars are
sent out every day to deposit sand on
the rails and enable the wheels to get
