GRADING WHEAT.
Some of the Difficulties Encoun-
tered in Making Grades.

CSFcll
The commission, acting with the Min
nesota board, experienced great diff
Guilty in establishing. standard grades of
wheat for the year 1883, occasioned by
the damage to the crop caused by the
early August frost in portions of the
territory. The quality of wheat of 1888
was so varied on that account that it
would have required the establishment
of at least twenty different grades in
order to properly classify the frosted
wheat. A member of this commission
visited Canada with Minnesota grain
inspector, for the purpose OF examining
the plan put into practice there. 1t
was found that an attempt had been
made in Canada to deal with
the difficulty by establishing three
did not operate at all satisfactorily. 1t
is provided by the territorial law on the
subject that the grades established in
Dakota must conform to the Minnesota
grades. This commission held joint
meeting with the Minnesota commission
for the purpose of reaching decision
in the matter. AS result of this meet
ing, the Minnesota board was prevailed
upon not to establish any frosted grades,
but to provide that frosted wheat be
bought by sample. This course was
deemed best by us, though at the time
many objections were offered against it.
This maintenance of the same high
standard grades of Dakota wheat as
those established in 1887 and previous
years has, however, given excellent
satisfaction. Its wisdom has been
demonstrated by comparison of the
prices paid in the Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth markets, with those which
have prevailed at Chicago. where an ell
tirely different system of grading exists.
THE CROP AND ITS VALUE.
1t has come to be recognized the
world over that Dakota is becoming the
wheat granary of America. While the
crop of 1883 falls below that of 1887
some 100000 bushels, yet the adj
vanced price over that of 1887 brings to
the farmers of Dakota nearly $3,000,O0O
more than the product of 1887.
The following is careful estimate of
the crop of farm products of 1888, acre
age and its value:

JAMESTOWN, Jan. Capt. Van
Etten. member-elect from the Eleventh
district and reported candidate for
speaker of the house, was in the city

lecture at the rink Sunday evening.

ECCENTRIC INDIVIDUAL.
"SOme people call me crank" he
says. His lecture here was the 4,s69th

He is now on his way to Bismarck. He
started about five weeks ago with his

He has not always travelled
that way, however. He says that two
years ago the railroads called in his

of locomotion decided him to purchase
his horse and buggy and do his travel

travelled $4,000 miles. and smiles grimly
as he remarks that the railroads and
not he are the losers. The Farmers
alliance has counted upon the captain
as dead sure for them, but they may
get slipped up on. He says bluntly that
he dlsapproves of their incorporated
company which would furnish farmers
provisions and supplies and do away

legislation, he said it was not his policy

RECOMMENDATIONS
To the Legislature About Several
Amendments Needed.

The recommendations which the COM
mission desires to submit, and which
have already been indirectly made in
this report, are as follows:
Flrst-That the board of railroad
commissioners be given absolute power
to adjust matters of difference between
the railroads and the people wherever
such differences can be brought within
the reach of the commission without
conflicting with the jurisdiction of the
courts, The commission should also
be given recourse to the courts for the
enforcement of its orders.
Second-The grain warehouse law
should be so amended as to bring within
its operation all warehOusemen who
handle grain. Ii warehousemen who so
conduct their business that their houses
do not come under the statutory defini-
ton of ''public warehouse" cannot be
reached by the ''licensing" and "bond-
ing'' clauses, they should, at least, be
compelled to procure the standard
grades established by the commission,
so that there may be some safeguard
against the under grading SO universally
practiced by irresponsible buyers.
Where the gradeis in dispute, and there
is no established grade for reference,
there can be no satisfactory agreement.
Third-The commission should be
provided with an appropriation suffi-
cient to enable it to enforce the grain
warehouse law in all its details, that
much of the important work, such as
inspection of the elevators and investi-
CATION of complaints, may not be
sighted.

ward.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Jan. 4.-Plummer, Shurlock
& Co. have been having great old time
over the Quay letter which seems to
have come to light through the medium
ship of Arthur Linn, a former COR
respondent of the Minneapolis Tribune,
but who for few days has been help
ing Brother Mattison out with the Sun.
That he is an ingenious individual no
one doubts who have read his Indian
stories in the Tribune about year ago,
but why he should attempt to throw
stigma upon the great party of Repub-
generated while running his Yankton
paper, no one can surmise. Because
Dr.. Shurlock, in the eXubefance of his
delight at receiving a letter of the
kind from his old friend Quay,
should show it to Linn, was
one of those things which
the world can forgive, but
politicians never. Now it is not sup
possible that Linn really intended to in
Jure DR.. Shurlock's chances for the
postOffice, or to bring Quay into disre-
pute, but it was too good to keep. For
aker is friend of Linn, and a good
word for Foraker was Linn's particular
object, not even supposing the letter
would receive its proper address and
signature from the brief publication
made in the Sun, but it was one OF
those things which is seen quicker and
easier under disguise than when hare
naked. Any schoolbOy could have put
in the names and won the appreciation
OF his fellows. The worst of all OF this
is the attempted denial. IL sounds too
much likes pettifogging, and, as Plum
way, the last being worse than the
first" Now we can see nothing bad
about the matter only the denial of the
parties who received and communicated
the contents of the letter. Neither is
there anything wrong in the letter it
self, it being no more than one friend
would be expected to communicate to
another under like circumstances. 1t
was friendly and courteous in every
word, and should have been treasured
by DR.. Shurlock as memento Of those
ties which are said to exist among Penn
sylvania statesmen. We are of the i'm
preston that il Gen. Allen, Col. Plum
mer and Maj. Edwards had known OF
the contents of the letter, the whole
thing would have been suppressed, and
the world. the gOSSipS and the devil
would never have caught onto it. 1t is
not intended to cast reflections upon
DR.. Shurlock, for God never made a
better Republican, the only trouble is
in the clunsey denial.

press, sleeping car and telep hone com
panies doing business in Dakota. 1t is
the opinion of the commission that they
should be taxed on the same basis as
the railroads. They are nearly all for
eign corporations. and they receive the
same benefits, protection and safeguards
from our territorial laws as do our home
companies. In the transaction of their
business under the protection Of our
laws they take large amounts of money
out of the territory, which escapes taxa
ton. and for which the people receive
no adequate return. The injustice in
the present system is so apparent as to
need no further comment.

Special to the Globe.
CAssELToN. Oak, Jan. 4.-The Quay
Shurlock letter is still the topic of con-
versation among the politicians of this
section of the territory. Those placed
in position to know, however, brand
the letter as forgery started by enemies
to injure Shurlock'S prospects for the
postmastership of Fargo. The latest
grit of sensational gossip turned out by
this Fargo forgery mill is alleged copies
of letters said to have been written the
doctor by Col. Plummer. of this city. A
GLOBE correspondent sought out Plum
mer to-day and asked him direct if he
had written such letters to Shurlock.
He emphatically denied the CORE
spondence and said:
1.-The letters published in the Fargo
Dispatch to the GLOBE, of Sunday, and
said to have been written by me to DR..
Shurlock, are forgeries. l never wrote
any such letters to him. This whole
Quay letter business was cOncOcted in
Fargo. 1t was probably started to in
lure Shurlock as well as to create SEN
sation. The man who conceived the
thing is well known here. The crea-
lures who executed 1t are also well
known as very serviceable leckspittles.
The real author has no more brains
THAN THE OSTRICH,
which buries its head in the sand for
security and leaves the rest Of It's body
exposed. He pretends friendship for
Gov. Pierce and assails him through his
jamestown tool. He pretendS to be a
friend to Gen. Allen and rakes up So
cial scandal about him through the same
source. The creatures who are doing
the dirty work of this man are not
worthy of notice."

FURNISHINGS

There is never a time
when a gentleman cannot

Furnishings to his wardrobe.
On account of the mild
weather there are many try
ing to get through the winter
without buying new under
wear, and if this economy
helps them out elsewhere, we
hope they may besuccessful.
We perhaps have already
received this saving in other
purchases-in Hats and Caps
or Clothing-for the law has
no respect for the weather,
and requires us all to appear
clothed.
But did you never stop to
think that should you get
through the spring of SO
that you would have to make
purchases all the earlier in
the fall, before the days of
Red Figure Mark-Down
Sales, and that prices for the
same qualities will be from
20 to 50 per cent higher?
Now, what bank will pay
you this interest for an eight
months deposit?
The broken lots must 60,
as we buy of the mills direct,
and may not be able next
fall to match exactly the
styles now on hand, so these
lots will always be broken to
us, until sold.
But what do you care
whether we have six gar
ments your size, or six dozen,
as long as you find all you
need?
All our underwear has
been marked down, but we
only want to mention one
line to-day,
A pure Atwood shirt and
drawer, regular sizes and in

both the same quality and in
good weights.
We sold them earlier in the season for
1926 a garment, and thought them well
worth it.
They are now marked to
sell at $I.5o while they last.
