! 900 bail Newberry was com mitted to the
county Jail to await trial at the next term of
the United States court. 1t is understood cd

fears are expressed of grain blockade on

making extraordinary efforts to meet the
demands of the shippers with a daily freight
movement of 600 loaded cars on the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific railroads.
and with the rapid increase of farmers de.
liveries during this month and December it
will prove unequal to the movement of the
wheat crop of 35,OOO,O0O bushels in the
twelve counties of thS valley.
