The craze for erecting high buildings
in Chicago has reached such a point as
to make the people of that city pause
and consider whittier they are drifting,
The Herald calls attention to it, and
suggests that a building limit be made.
There is too much crowding in the bust
ness streets. Old buildings are being
built upon, and the danger of a repetition
of the recent New York disaster is be-
coming more imminent every day. In a
limited city like New York there is no
room to spread except upward, but
Chicago is different. Her building
ground is unlimited.

CHAIRMAN WALSH of the railroad COM
mission tells the Fargo Republican the
course the commission will pursue
should the railroads refuse to stop trains
to allow inspection of wheat. Their
modus operandi is as follows:
"The first train that attempts to leave
the state without the proper inspection
required by law will be stopped for in
spection, and should the employees resist
they will be arrested. OF course our in
spectors cannot break open the comp
any's sealed cars to grade wheat, but the
conductor of the train will be asked to
open the cars and should he refuse he
will be promptly arrested. This will
throw the case into the hands of the
courts, and aftdr every road in the state
has refused and the case been placed in
the hands of the court, we can do moth
ing further until a decision is reached.
Our board of commissioners will then
have done all they can do to enforce the
law of the state-and that is our duty"

New York Sun: Upto the first day
of July the aggregate of expenditures
upon Robert P. Porter's eleventh census
as reported by Mr.. Porter to the secre-
tary of interior, was sc, 3,994.12.
These are figures that may be depend
ed upon. Unlike the other statistical in
formation proceeding from Mr.. Porter's
establishment, the statement is checked
by the accounts of the treasury depart
ment and by the computations of audi.
tors outside of his sphere of influence.
Seven million dollars have been spent
already. Mr.. Porter informs the secre-
airy of the interior that in his opinion
an additional expenditure of $1,OOO,OOO
will be needed to Finish the entire work,
including farms, houses, and mortgages.
and the names Of veterans of the war,
in accordance with the original plans
and in a maner highly creditable to the
nation"
OF course the future expenditure will
far exceed this present estimate. But at
Porter's " figures the eleventh census
will cost the country $7,943,994.12, or in
round numbers So, 100000
The tenth census was the most elabor-
ate and expensive heretofore undertaken
by any government on the face of the
earth. It was 80 ambitious in it's scope
that there was not only a universal pro-
test against any repetition of the folly,
but also a distinct promise on the part of
the promoters of census legislation that
the present enumeration should be simp-

s. W. GRoEsBEcK, who is ~patenting
those Ignite stoves down in st. Paul,
writes a letter to a ,Bismarcker
enclosing a circular therein which states
the defects in the stove have all been
perfected and the stoves will be put on
the market this fall, but the furnaces are
not likely to be completed SO soon. He
says in the letter not to wait for his fur
mace patent this fall. He also says it
was intended to send the stove out here
for trial with al explanation as to the
defective parts, but now they will send
the stove as perfected.

MONDAY was the day set for putting
in motion the wheat inspection rules of
the railroad commissioners. A special
from Fargo says that no wheat was in
spected there, and intimates that ship
pers are evading the law by billing the
cars as bran, shorts, barley, etc. At
Grand Forks the Great Northern rail-
way refused to open their cars, and the
grain Inspectors put in their time in TAX
ing down the numbers of the cars as
they passed through the city. If the
commissioners stick to their proposed
plan of operations, action will be com
menced against the Great Northern
and the wheat will flow out as of old.

The banking house of Henry Clews &
Co., of Wall street, New York, says
among other thing regarding the move
ment of grain:
The movement of grain at interior
points has been very heavy, the receipts
showing an increase Of IS per cent. over
last year. The immediate effect of this
is seen in the increased earnings of sew
eral railroads, whose statements have
lately been published, and suggests some
idea of what may be expected in the fu-
ture, when the movement becomes more
general. Another promising feature, in
fact the most encouraging sign that has
yet appeared, is the announcement that
a consignment Of $2,50O,OOO gold has
been engaged for shipment to this coun-
try from the continent. 1t is understood
that these are Especial" transactions, as
the rates of exchange are not yet low
enough to admit of gold being imported
at a profit. It will be remembered that
a great part of the gold recently shipped
from this country was taken from us I'M
der what was termed especial" transac-
tons. It is highly gra-
tifying, THEREFORE, that the first
consignments of the return flow should
come back to us under the same heading
These Especial" transactions will prob
ably favor us from now on, and it is ex-
pected that the movement to this side
will receive a fresh impetus soon, as
foreign exchange is becoming heavier
each day, and, if continued, will soou be
at the gold importing point. Under
these circumstances it is not unreason-
able to expect that, if not the whole, at
least the greater part of the precious
metal which was taken away from us
will soon find it's way back again to it's
natural resting place.

task for opinions expressed regarding

fore we fail to see the point Of the News

STRANGER than fiction are the stories
told about Melbourne, the man who can
produce a rainfall at his will. His latest
experiments were at Cheyenne, Wyom-
ing, last Tuesday. He agreed to produce
the rain at a certain hour, and a copious
shower fell at the predicted time. I'm
like Prof. Dyrenforth, his methods are a
secret. He constructs a little house
barely large enough to hold himself
and the mysterious contents of a large
valise which is his constant companion.
This box house has an aperture in the
roof. Before the date upon which rain is to
fall he enters that box and closes it her.
medically to the outside world. He will
permit nobody to examine its interior,
and if approached by reporters or other
inquisitive persons shuts up shop and
refuses to proceed with the experiment.
He remains in his box for hours
and sometimes for a day or two
preceding the expected. rain. In
nearly every instance he has needed
an umbrella when time was called.
Melbourne claims that he produces rain
by the generation of certain gases which
escapes through the aperture in the roof
of his box and ascending to the upper
air strata produce at once the meteoro-
logical conditions necessary to the pre-
cipitation of rain. Further than this he
will not explain his process. He will not
tell what the mysterious gases are nor
how they are produced.
Whether he has discovered a new
principal IN science or is simply a phe-
nomenal guesser, he is successful in pro-
ducing rainfall.

Brooks BROTHERS of Grand Forks are

BROOKS BROTHERS Of Grand Forks are
reported to have purchased a car load of
wheat Monday, graded it No. l hard, and
paid for it on that basis. The grain in
spectors then came along, inspected the
wheat, and pronounced it No. 2 Northern
thus reducing it two grades. If this
case sould be taken as a criterion, it is
hard to see the benefit of 'inspection-to
the seller. The probabilities are that
grain buyers do not pay for No. 1 hard
unless they get that grade of wheat.

creased, and the intensity of the frost
crystals on the smoked wheat apparently
greatly diminished. The crystals melted
readily in the hand, while the unsmoked
wheat showed no such signs of i'll
creased temperature. On the
26th the experiment was re-
peated under slightly altered conditions.
This time the temperature wa two de-.
grees lower, the atmosphere dryer and
the breeze from the west. There was a
very severe frost. Mr.. Barrett started
his smudges at 4:30 a. NJ, and the fields
were soon covered with deep clouds of
smoke. Some of the wheat was in milk
and some in the dough. The oats Gin
the milky we're also smoked.
Mr.. Barrett found in this case that al
though the temperature was below the
freezing pint until sunrise, the wheat
and oats were, to all appearances, unin-
jured. Mr.. Barrett explains that his
fires were not started earlier because
other and unavoidable work prevented
the construction of smudge piles of the
size and kind desired, and as the ones
they could prepare would last but a
short time, it was thought best to burn
them late. If he had been able to pre-
pare sufficient material he would have
kept them burning all night. Mr.. Bar
rett has arrived at the following conclus-
ion, however, which is best expressed in
his W words:
More knowledge upon the subject
may cause a change of my views, but &C.
cording to the light I now possess, I can
not but be strong in my conviction that
smoke is a sure preventive of frost or it's
injurious effect upon grain or other
forms of vegetation under the following
conditions: When and where generated
and applied in needful quantities and
distributed in such a manner as to cover
the grain during the entire time Of dan
ger from frost.

The trip of the West Superior bust
ness men to North Dakota is likely to
bear good fruit. The timeis probably too
short to make arrangements to handle
all the crop of this state at Superior
this year, but more elevators and mills
will undoubtedly be built at that point,
and by next year the farmers Of this
state will have another market for their
wheat.
