Although minus It stock and building after the conflngratlon of Tuesday evening, the I'nlon Transfer company was doing business yeaterday in new quarter. The office force, which was practically all that was left of the concern, was Installed yes terday morning In a portion of the Fuller & Johnson company's building, at the cor ner of Main street and Seventh avenue. The large vault in the burned building waa opened shortly before noon yesterday by cutting a hole through the wall. The books and papers of the firm were found to be In surprisingly good condition. Some of the loose papers were more or less scorched on the edge and were somewhat damp, 'but otherwise were Intact and were perfectly legible. The desks and other of fice Impedimenta, which had been placed in the vault when the fire waa first discovered, were In good condition, although the seven i typewriting machines on being exposed to the air at once became covered with rust. Everything, however, was In such shape that the office force aa sofln aa It Becured office quarters In the Fuller & Johnson building was able to go to work at once. The checking up of the Insurance carried by the Union Transfer company showed the amount to be T.5C0, Instead of 157,000 Or $00,000, as was be"eved to have been the amount by Manager W. A.

The loss on the building, however, la Targe, aa the structure could not be rebuilt, - It 1 said, for les than $50,000 or even more. Remain In Connoll man's. Mr. Southard yesterday was unable to state what the future pli.ns of the com pany would be, ' otherwise than that It would continue In business. He aald: "I cannot' say - where we will locate, but I know of no building In this city large enough for our purposes. Of course a new building might be erected for us on the site of the .old ope or elsewhere, but I don't quite aee how we can wait until such a building Is erected. We transacted over $400,000 worth of buslnea during this year and we have plenty of work ahead of us straightening this up and completing de liveries. Of course, until we secure a new warehouse and can atock up again all de liveries will have to be made direct from the factories. iVe will certainly stay In Council Bluffs, at leaat for the present, and that la, about all I can say at this time." F. R. Davis, . chairman of the executive committor of the Commercial club, an nounced yesterday that every effort would be made to provide suitable quarter for the Union Transfe company, and that if neces sary Immediate steps would be taken to erect a warehouse building for the company. "Council Bluff Is the natural distributing point of the west for the Implement a It 1 for other business. The destruction of one or two building cannot disturb the city's natural status In th Implement world." , Tuesday nlght'a fire again calls attention to the lack of proper fir fighting facili ties In this city. Not only are larger mains needed on South Main street, but additional equipment for the fire department. Dis cussing this pbase of the disastrous fire yesterday Mayor Macrae said that the city should have two steamers and ladder equipment sufficient to reach up to a five or. six story building.- It . 1 likely that Mayor Macrae will bring up this matter at the meeting of the city council next Mon day.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, 1'PC. 12. (Special. )-At the meeting of the Coin Belt Meat Producers' association today strong resolutions were paused favoring a 2-cent fare law. a Joint fielKht rate and the enactment of a law authorising the attorney grneral of the state to prosecute before the Interstate Commerce commission all discrimination In rates by Iowa railroads. The slow time on live stock trains was condemned, and the position taken that the government should pay the cost of Inspecting meat under the Inspection law. The resolutions were the chief work of the association to day. A committee was busy In drafting the resolutions all djy and reported late thla afternoon. They praise President Roosevelt and those with him for the Interstate commerce law and tho meat in spection bill and endorse the organization of the Co-Operative Live Stock Commission company, which haa offices at Chicago, St. Louts, Sioux City and Omaha, and which waa organised for the purpose of bucking the other commission houses which had raised their commission rates. The resolutions then proceed to praise Secretary Wilson for his work In the De partment of Agriculture and for the meat Inspections and condemn the movement to force the packers or the live stock pro ducers to pay the costs of the Inxpectlon. The congressmen of Iowa are urged to do everything possible to secure an appro priation large enough to enable Secretary Wilson to make adequate and thorough in spections. State Fair Haa Profit. The report of Secretary John C. Simpson of the Department of Agriculture to the state agricultural convention today showed the totul receipts of this year's fair to be $110,92!, the largest In the history of the fair. The disbursements were $10,755 and the premiums $.'51,703, leaving the net proflta $38,470. The secretary In his report rec ommends gome appropriations for the com ing year. While the fair Is mnde a state Institution, the state has spent only $84,000 on the fair, and the report of t secretary shows that the profits ten years ago were but $1,634. Since that time the premiums paid havo more than doubled and the management of the fair has been such that the profits have enabled the manage ment to erect buildings and make vast Im provements in the grounds. At the agricultural convention today at the statchouse John It. Sage of the state crop service reported the yield of corn for this year to be S88,3t8,920 bushels, an In crease of 43,318,930 bushels over luat year.
