The Rate Uar.

Indications of war on rates to the a.
board, both on freight and passenger t &C,
grow more pronounced. The fact was made
public this morning that the Trunk line arbi-
traitors had awarded the Grand Trunk 10 per
cent. of the east bound freight. General
Manager Spicer, of the Grand Trunk, says
the road will not accept the award, as it is
one and seventh-tenths less than the COM
missioner's recommendation, and that the
road will withdraw from the pool. Officials
OF the same road claim that Commissioner
Fink has suggested to the other roads in the
Trunk line passenger pool to make a com
mon war on the Grand Trunk. They assert
their road is in good position to fight, and
assert that when the time comes it will be a
severe one. 1t is the opinion in railroad
circles that an open war will result in few
days, and that the rates will drep to a very
low figure.

Chicago Tribune.
In receut interview with New York
1t36eaae reporter at Saratoga Mr. Vanderbilt
is reported to have stated that the Erie is from
time to time cutting passenger rates, and
that the New York Central has to wink at the
action II it is not done too openly. This pro
fesslon is soentirely inconsistent with the re-
cent action of the Vanderbilt lines in offer
ing s. commission to steamship agents on
east-bound railway tickets that it is a subject
OF considerable comment on the part
of those engaged in the east
bound passenger business. The
fact that the Vanderbilt lines have
for some time been allowing steamship
agents compensation for tickets sold over
their respective roads by vouchers made in
their favor is an open secret, while their re-
cent action in allowing the names OF their
roads to be attached to steamship circulars
for general distribution throughout the west,
Offering excessive commissions, has ten
dency to detract somewhat from Mr. Wander
bits statement. 1t is claimed by the Erie
people that no action of theirs has prompted
such aggressive policy as the one recently
adopted by the Vanderbilt lines, and they
have not as yet taken any action to meet the
competition. 1t is the impression that Van
derbilt, having opened line to Montreal, is
now getting ready to commence hostlities
against the Grand Trunk and West Shore,
but at the same time is trying to shift the re-
sponsfbility of the trouble upon other roads
than his own.

Nnir 1t is WHa..

1t has been maintained several times in
these columns that there were suspicious
that some of the eastern lines were cutting
rates. Besides the suspicious. some evidence
has cropped out here and there which seems
to leave no doubt that such was the fact. 1t
has also been asserted that the steamship
lines were in the cutting business too. There
seems to be no doubt on this point now, as
an agent of one of the steamship lines in St.
Paul was seen yesterday posting bill which
read as follows:
''War, war, war. Cheap rates to Europe.
From st. Paul to London, Liverpool, Belfast
Glasgow, or any railroad station in Great Britain
for S29. Corresponding low rates to Sweden,
Norway and German ports. Cal at Union
steamship Office, No. 323 jackson street, st.
Paul.
This settles the question that there is cut
ting and that it-means considerable trouble.
The railroad men in St. Paul do no appear
to be disturbed by it, and when asked what
they were going to do about it they simply
replied that they could not carry passengers
for that, and would have to keep quiet till
the steamship lines come to their senses.

Especial Correspondence of the GlobeT
GLENDALE, Aug. PA soaking rain fell
here last night. Quite a large amount of
grain, cut and shocked, was well drenched.
The showers Of yesterday, however, were OPP
perfume, as the farmers are nearly ready to
commence fall Flowing.
AT the board Of trade meeting last night
the bylaws were adopted, and now that cor
poration is fully launched out in its career,
we hope, of usefulness. The next question
to occupy the attention of the board is the
aiding in the construction of the Dakota
Midland railroad.
Farmers in and around Glendale are con-
siderably worked up over the difference in
the prices paid for wheat at La Moure and
here. At La Moure wheat brings sixty-six
and sixty nine cents per bushels, while in
Glendale it can hardly be got rid of for fifty
nine cents. The buyers are accused of
grading our wheat too low III quality Per-
sons who have had experience in handling
all grades of wheat pronounce the wheat Of
Dickey county the very best No. hard The
buyers call our wheat No. 2. The farmers
are suspicious that when their grain reaches
st. Paul it will have improved vastly in quail
ity; perhaps it will then have acquired the
quality of No. hard.
The Rev. H. L. Collision, of Chicago who
recently killed his wife and attempted his
own life, owns farm within one mile of
Glendale. He is remembered by many peo-
pie here, who formed an acquaintance with
him while on a visit to this place last
summer when he purchased his farm.

The Red Ricer Ta1ley.

Special Correspondence of the Globe
FARGO, Aug. 21.-Your correspondent
has spent the past week in the big wheat
fields of Dakota, was much surprised to see
that although to the casual observer there is
very little choice in the lands in this vast
plain, yet 1t is a very common sight, indeed,
it is the rule to find wheat growing on aver
age twenty to twenty-five bushels per acre,
on the other from twelve to fifteen. On the
whole Dakota wheat in this section, viz,
Cass county, will average about seventeen
bushels per acre. The difference in the yield
per acre on different farms is due to two
facts, viz, the kind of farming done and
the wet and dry areas, you will find in this
country some of the poorest farming to be
found in America. But with proper farming
| am convinced that all the land here is dry
enough to be cultivated, is capable of prOduc.
ing with fair seasons, from twenty five Ia
thirty bushels per acre for an indefinite pc.
riod land | am not DokOtian and have no
interest in this country Large areas OF
many hundred sections are now cultivated
at very small profit or lying entirely UNI
cultivated that could be reclaimed and made
very productive at very small cost by shall
low bitches along the section lines, which do
not cost on the average, more than twenty
cents per rod, and as most all the land
would be improved by these bitches, a
stranger lan'tsee why tax of eight or nine
mills is not levied for this purpose and for
construction OF roads along these bitches.
1t is not an uncommon sight to see land
that has been broken which has been aband-
oned after the first crop, as too wet for cul-
~l1.lrr. IF
botany and the habits of plants would have
convinced the cultivator that the land that
produces the kinds of grasses and weeds
found would not produce wheat unless
drained.
The immense rains of this week, have
not as yet damaged this crop. Standing
wheat is all right, but wheat in the shock
will need to be reset to prevent it from grow
ing unless the weather clears up and the
wind rises. About one-hall of the wheat il
now in the shock.

some satisfactory arrangement would be
made in connection with such appointment
to relieve the company of its financial ne
cessities, whereupon the committee was pre-
scented with letter from King, endorsed by
Powell and Westla&e, represen ia
tives of the foreign interests
OF the company, stating. | am
satisfied from the representations made me
by Messrs. Powell and Wcstlake that, if I
am elected assistant president of your COM
| pany for the time being with the understand
ing that l am to be elected president at the
annual meeting in November next, the
| FUNDS needed to retire the floating debt Of
the company and place it upon a safe fnan
cial basis will be furnished, and it is upon
this assurance l consent to accept the posi-
| ton referred to.''
| In the consideration of this letter and the
fact that the appointment of Mr.. King
was satisfactory to Jewett, the committee
reported to the board of directors on the
21st inst, the resolutions which were adopted
reciting that the board most unwilingly ac-
copied Jewett's proposal to leave the presi-
dency of the company at an early date, and
further resolved that John King be APP
pointed assistant president of the company
with the expectation that he would take
JeWelts pace as president at an early uate,
to be determined by Jewett, and that when
Jewett should resign his presidency the
proper officers of the company were
authorized and directed to make a
contract with Jewett, whereby his
counsel, advice and aid in the management
of the affairs of the company could be as
sured, as chairman of the executive COM
mittee or otherwise, for the term of one year
after such resignation, at his present salary,
and that a copy of the resolutions be given
Jewett, with the request that he would at
least for the period design ated, remain, TAX
ing active interest in the affairs of the COM
pany.
