therefore denounced the operations of the
Minneapolis Millers' association for the man
ner in which they graded the wheat, and also
for the prices they were paying for it at
points where there was no competition. We
are glad to say with regard to the associetion,

we refer to the parties who control the
wheat market on the Northern Pa
cifc railroad. We understand that
the wheat business on the line has
been handed over to a firm at Du-
luth named Sawyer, Davis & Co., or at least
that portion of the line that affects this
county. In consequence of this monopoly
the farmers who are unfortunate enough to
live near Perham, Wadena, Frazee City and
other points in and adjoining this county
have been compelled to take ten cents a
bushel-and in some instances more-beIow
what the wheat was bringing on the st. Paul,
NJ. d M. r. r. We also notice that at Du-
luth, which is as near Buffalo as is Chicago,
the price has been uniformly ten or twelve
cents less than at that point and Milwaukee.
If there is any good cause for this we should
be glad to be enlightened on it.

This is correct, and what every road should
