there is record of that committee
meeting in recent years, and it is
we'll known that a number of cases
are pending, involving claims of losses
during the revolutionary war. 1t is
likely that fifty years hence there
will still be occasional business for
a committee ON revolutionary claims.
Work Proceeds Slowly.
But at the present rate of progress
toward settling claims growing out of
the civil war, another century will not
nearly mark the settlement of the last
of these claims. Not a session of con-
gress passes without a good deal of
legislation to satisfy UGH claims. Thus
the last session passed a large num-

property of non-eombatants, etc.

government agents to collect captured

W0oLWAREhouSE
SOUTH ST PAUL

st. Paul. Sept. 1S.-Plans are in
preparation for the establishment Of
a 100000 wool warehouse in this
city. For several months there has
been correspondence between the
National Wool Growers association
and the business men of st. Paul re.
garding the subject. It is under
stood that the plans for the ware
house are about completed.
Minneapolis, Kansas City and
Omaha have all been at ter this
warehouse. 1t has been known for
some time that the wool growers
were figuring ON the establishment.
OF a central warehouse to take care
Of the enormous Western trade.
The wool growers held meeting
al Salt Lake City on August Is, at
which time it was decided to locate
this in st. Paul.
st. Paul offers the greatest oppor-
tunity for a wool warehouse Of any
city in the Central West. It is the
natural gateway to all the vast wool
country. Added to this is the fact
that the facilities for distribution
are better than those of any other
city.
The new warehouse will mean
an investment of over 100000
in St. Paul. An immense warehouse
will be built near the property Of
the Minnesota Transfer Railway
company, and all wool passing
through St., Paul will be stored
therein.
For this industry st. Paul will
be asked to furnish free site and
the abatement of taxes for a GER
tain length of time.
