This is the $1,000, 600 Armour Pack

proposed for New Brighton, between

has aroused an intense controversy
between the two cities. St. Paul

the ground that the 0d0rs and stencil
coming from the plant IN the summer
would be most obnoxious, and would
endanger the health of the people who
live in that end of st. Paul. Also
that the plant being 81 near to st.

We thank you very much for youl
proposition but cannot consider it just
at this time as Mr.. Armour IS out OF
the city at present
Armour q Co.
That such a plant would be boon
to this city can readily be seen as II
would cost about 81, 600, 200 and would
give employment to about 2, 600. The
allied industries which follow such q
plant would mean more expenditure
here and would give a large number
of people more employment. 1t would
raise the value OF property, not only
in this city but throughout Morrison
county. The 500 road would put IN
their seven-mile connection with this
city as quick as ever it could. and il
would prove an extra incentive to1
other railroads to pass through thi.
city. With one industry OF tht
magnitude of the proposed Armour
plant, other industries would flock t
this city, the farms throughout tht
county would be quickly settled ant

In view of tue wonderful posi-

the Commercial club is to be con
graduated on the very favorable repl,
received from the Armour company.

Especial to THE TIMES. J

NSp6cldl TO IHE 1lMESeJ
East Chicago, Ind, Dec 2S--Gas
which accidentally found it's way into
the blast pipes of the Interstate mills
this morning at IL O'Clock, caused an
explosion In which one man, Harry
Patton, heater, was injured. While
the damage to the machinery is not
serious it Is of such a nature that the
whole plant, excepting the puddle mill,
will have to close down for day or
two.
In the explosion the lives of score
of people were endangered. The shock
was heard for great distance and in a
moment the air was dark with dust and
dirt and flying pieces of pipe.
These explosions, while very infre-
