FARMERS ConvistEad That Exclusive
Wheat Raisfhx will Not Pay.
The Red river valley Farmers who came
dowmTuesday to visitJ. J. HilPs stock farm,
visited tile MinneapoM chamber Of commerce,
yesterday. They wereintfoduced by President
Pillsbury, who gave, them an informal well
come Mr.. Faulknegjspehking for the farm
ers, said they had comp down to look over Mr..
Hills fine cattle andsobarye the results of
bresding blooded stocF, and gain such other
information as would enable them to engage
in tle business prohtshly. He said the farm
ers ot the Red River sailey and Northern Dako-
ia have come to the eohclusion that raising
wheat alone was not4ssare business, and they
were beginning to t,Aa their attention more to
diversified farming aRa to,the raising of cattlo,
hogs and horses They wanted to be in po-
siition to always have s$nething to sell if the
wheat crop. failed Or Tie price was too low
they could sell their, cattle or hogs or a few
horses, and thus always be sure of a steady in
come. While they were down here they con-
ciuded to come over and see where all the
wheat went to, and find out if they could, why
prices We're SO low. President Pillsbury re-
piled that the principal reason of the decline in
prices this year was the great6urplus of wheat
raised. There was more than could he used
and the millers Of Minneapolis could not pay
more than they had paid and make flour. He
SAID this had been very hard year all around,
and the millers are making no money. The
export demand was very light, and the wheat
which had formerly been sent abroad remained
at home. The foreign demand for -four was
not so large as in former years, and tho millers
found their market confined to this country.
He pointed out the ract that in spite of the low
prices Of wheat in the East the Minneapolis
market had been much higher in comparison,
and the farmers of The Northwest got more for
their products right here at home than they
could get by shipping to other markets. He
closed by saying that he was heartily glad the
farmers had come down to see about these
things. 1t was the right way, and millers,
commission men and farmers would be mutu
ally benefited by getting acquainted.

A Farmers, NIeetinc.

The following call has been issued by conf
mittee for a mass meeting of the farmers and
business men Of the Red river valley.
"a mass meeting of the farmers and busi-
ness men of the Red River valley is hereby
called to convene at Gotzian's Hall, in the city
of Grand Forks, D. T., OH the 3Oth and 31st
days of July, 1884, at 4 o'clock p. H., for the
Bfl{R9Sa 81 Sf taking action to secure reduction
time for the present crop, and for the consid-
Grafton Of Legislative measures necessary for
relief from burdens imposed upon the several
industries Of our country by corporate monopo-
ly, and such other business as may be deemed
best calculated to serve the industries of agr-
cultural pursuits and promote the future pros
perity of our several industries. The time is
not now remote when candidates for the seve-
raj Offices and representatives to the legisla-
ture must be selected, and vital question to
be determined by tho people of our new North
west is whether these officers and representa-
tiyes are to be of and for the people, or shall
they be selected by kings of monopoly and
ringsters Of job notoriety? Shall the public
affairs Of our country be administered in the
interest Of the people or in the interest of mon-
opolies and rings? Shall the future legisla-
ture Of our country be for arrogant, grasping
monoplies, or shall it be for the coordinate
rights of the several industries Of our land?
'If the activity Of the people and their NUT
terings for the past few months means any
thing, then it can be taken as strong evidence
Of a great peoples determination to free them
selves from the control of monopolies and
rings. Railroad corporations are charging ex-
tortonate rates for the transportation Of grain,
fuel and lumber. While the present crop
promises large yield, the price will be low,
and unless tho reduction of freight can be Sc
cured and correction had in the grading and
handling Of wheat, the farmers portion for his
products will he very small.
1t is hoped that every township in northwest
ern Minnesota and Dakota will he represented
in this meeting, either by delegates elected OF
by individual farmers and business men.
Prof. c. L. Whitney, state lecturer for the
Grange Of Michigan, and other prominent
speakers will address the meeting.

Delegate RAYMOND.

The Yankton Press and Dakotian, In an arti-
Gle on the work performed by congress at the
session just closed, says: ut is susceptible of
demonstration that no territorial delegate has
ever accomplished so much as Mr.. Raymond
during the first session Of any congress. In
the midst Of it all lie has found time to attend
to thousands Of requests from his numerous
constituents; to answer their letters; to make
daily rounds Of the departments, and to accu-
mulate friends and influence with every move
ment. With this record, Mr.. Raymond can 20
before the people for the reelection lie has un-
doubtedly earned and there can be no question
as to his ability to represent the big territory
of Dakota In congress-"

Rad Blood.

Justice Skinner had his hands full last
Tuesday when the case OF the Territory of Da-
kota vs.. Andrew A. Winden, constable of
Grand Forks county, was up for a hearing on
the charge of false Imprisonment brought by
three several citizens Of Newburgh, in Steele
county. The origin of tho trouble occurred
about month ago, when the complainants
were Oh fishing excursion just within the
limits of Grand Forks county, when they were
approached by an individual considerably un
der the influence of liquoI between whom and
| one of the fishing party there was dispute
| about some work done OIL threshing machine
last fall. This individual became quite abus-
I've in his language and indecent in his be-
who had his vile a5ng ta rs ampsd sI daFss EH
his vehicle and struck him. The fellow then
went off, but shortly returned with couple of
friends, when he attacked the party with whom
he had the difficulty in regard to the tlreshing
bill. He was finally taken away by his friends
and nothing more was heard of tho matter un-
til last week, when two constables appeared
at Newburgh and arrested all three Of the par
ties and carried them off to Larimore, where
they were incarcerated in Jail all night, ap-
pearing before a justice Of the peace the next
morning, who discharged the prisoners, there
being no one present I'd prosecute and the
warrants upon which the arrests were made
being declared illegal. The Newburgh parties
came to Hope OIL Friday md swore out war
rants against the two ronsables charging
them with false Imprisonment. Sheriff Ward
executed tile warrant in the case Of Winden,
but failed to find the other constable. Winden
went before magistrate in Grand Forks
county and gave bail for his appearance before
Justice Skinner OH Tuesday, when he ap-
peared, waived examinat ion, and gave bail for
his appearance at the nett term Of the district
court. Considerable bad blood has been ell
gendered in the case, and further trouble may
De looked for.

Growing Independent

One among the many other evidences Of the
growth and developmehto OF the country around
Hope may be found inthe fact that while last
summer and the year previous fresh butter and
eggs were luxuries that could only be obtained
from abroad and at high prices, the present
season tho home supply las exceeded the de-
mand and prices have been correspondingly
low. 1t is rare circumstance now to find a
family living anywhere on the prairies who
has not one or more COWS and large flock of
poultry. Many farmers also have good sup
ply of swine, and competent judges assert that
our supply Of meat the coming year will be
home grown. Thus are our farmers surely
becoming practically Independent, and we pre-
dict that it will be but e few years ere we shall
be shipping our surplus Of these products to
the markets Of our large cities and towns.

A Crossing Made.

A number Of public-spirited citizens living
west of Hope met by appointment last Satur-
day at the crossing Of the Sheyenne road over
the branch of the Maple commonly known az
the rocky coolie and spent several hours in
making good crossing with the material at
hand. This Is something that has long been
needed, and those who performed the work
are entitled to the gratitude OF all who have to
60 west either for business or pleasure. This
crossing will be Of great service to parties
hauling grain to Hope this fall.

Plenty OF Good Water,

A plentiful supply OF pure, cool and spark
ling water is one OF the blessings that any
country should feel truly grateful for, and it
certainly should add very much to the value of
a farm to be able to procure good water at a
reasonable depth. This is ono Of the advan-
tages that has always been claimed by our peo-
pie for the country around Hope, and we are
always glad to publish combinations of this
fact. Mr.. O. P. Miller informs us that lie re-
Gently sunk well on his farm OH section 7,
las, IS, and obtained plenty Of good water at
depth of twenty-five feet.

Ali Discharged.

Judge Hudson returned from Grand Forks
last evening. He states that the jury in the
case Of the Territory against Lair, one of the
defendants in the Ward murder trial, returned
verdict Of not guilty, and Lair was according
ly discharged. After this verdict was rendered
the attorneys in the case held consultation,
and it was decided to abandon the prosecution
of the other defendants, and they were also
discharged, without even hearing. Turpin,
it will be remembered turned states evidence,
confessed that he shot Fred Ward, and testified
that he saw Lair take deliberate aim and shoot
Ward. Tho indictment against Turpin having
been Cancelled, and Lair being acquitted not
withstanding Turpin's damning testimony
against him and the judges pointed charge to
the jury, the attorneys for the state first
thought Of applying for change of venue for
the trial Of the other defendants but it was
finally decided to abandon their prosecution
altogether, for the reason that it would be i'm
possible to convict them. Tho prisoners were
accordinly discharged, and there being no
other cases on the docket, court was adjourned
