Another instance Of the perfectly worthless
judgment OF the manager of tho N. P. Elsys.
tor at Lisbon has come under our notice this
week. Four loads of wheat wsre delivered
from the same pile, which had been harvested
at the same time, and threshsd from the same
shocks, and the grade ran a. follows: Load
No. graded No. hard; load No. 2 graded
No. hard; load No. 3 graded rejected, and
load No. graded No. 1 hard again. This
wheat was delivered by two different parties,
all who saw 1t could detect no difference.
Such grading reaches almost criminal careless.

he justly deserves. There is cry loud and

Elevator Co. patrons be listened to? II not tho
farmers tributary to Lisbon must haul their
wheat from six to ten miles further to another

Freight Rate Reduction,

The st. Paul Globe says it is the opinion of
many who stand on fences high enough to see
all around that the railroads would do right
eous act and earn the good will of the people,
resulting in ultimate good to the railroads, if
they would reduce the freight on wheat to
Duluth and Minneapolis about 25 per cent 1t
would add about five cents bushel to the re-
ceipts Of the farmers and perhaps prevent the
construction of new and competing lines. 1t
would check the efforts of those who think
that relief csa be had in the legislature. It is
claimed or charged in some districts, especial
ly in North Dakota, that the railroads are tax

There was a heavy frost and in exposed
places thin ice Wednesday morning, the wind
in the afternoon rain set in, which continued
at intervals till Thursday noon, when the rain
ceased, but the weather became quite warm.
During Thursday night the heavens were again
opened and the rain descended in torrents.
The weather this morning is still cloudy.
Threshing was brought to a standstll, and it
is not probable it can be resumed before Mon
day. There Is yet considerable wheat to
be threslfed from the shock. Farmers are gen.
