THE SUPERIOR ELEVATOR.
A COrporatlon With a Capital of
$3OD,9DO Proposed.


At the meeting of the Superior
Chamber of Commerce and the
North Dakota representatives the
initiatory steps we're taken towards
the erection of a snillion bushel ele-
vator at Superior to hold North Da-
kota wheat.
After the opeaing address by.
President Loney, Of Superior Cham
Der of Commerce, general discus
sion followed, in which John D.
Benton and President Walsh, of the
North Dakota railroad commission,
made effective Speeches. President
Walsh said i'll the course of his re-
marks:
II am glad to express my views
upon this most important matter,
for it Is most important to us. 1t
means to North Dakota the shipping
of our grain where it is under our
complete control and where we may
derive the greatest benefit. If we
have an extra quality of wheat-and
/ believe we have-to send it here
where it is given separate bins and
where its identity as No. 1 Dakota
is not lost from the time it enters
until it leaves is to gain a benefit,
not only indirectly through the
credit we obtain, but a money return
as well. Our wheat on sample,
'sIAfs5i tits sold without fissiiHg Mixed
is worth from to cents more a
bushel than we can get for it under
Minnesota inspection, and by send
ing it to you we can get that benc-
fit. But there is much for both to
do. Some means must be devised
for handling our wheat here. There
must be an elevator, a board of trade
and grades of North Dakota, through
agents, must become known ito the
markets of the world. North Da-
kota today is not recognized in
single bushel Of wheat sent out, and
my idea Of the way to remedy the
matter is this: Organize joint
stock company with a capital Of
$500, 900, take up one-half of the
stock here and the other halt in
North Dakota, establish board of
trade and make your grades known,
and by next year you will be ready
here to handle the entire crop Of
North Dakota
At the conclusion of the remarks
a resolution to continue the commit
tee was adopted for the purpose of
organizing corporation of at least
S3OO,OOO, in view of building an
elevator of 100000 bushels capa-
city there and successfully handling
the project in other details. The
boards of trade of Fargo, Grand
Forks, Jamestown and Bismarck are
to be asked to appoint committees
with power to act. These acting in
connection with Superior commit
tee, are to decide upon the respective
proportions of stock which are to
be held in the two parts Of the
country Plaindealer.

Farmers Should Be Happy.

w WASHINGTON, Oct. LEX Congress
man Snider, of Minnesota, said of the
big crops in the Northwest to-day:
1.-The wheat crop of Minnesota and
the Dakotas will be, in round numbers
l5O,OOO,OOO bushels he said. s.There
IS no good reason, so far as 1 can see,
why this wheat should not be held as
long as the farmers desire. 1t is not
the practice for men engaged in the
production of other articles to hurry
their entire output on the market in
two months, and why should not the
farmers hold their product until such
tipa as they can dispose of it to their
advantage? The crop has begun to
move at good rate, and last week 800.
600 bushels We're received at Minneapo-
lis and Duluth. The mills at Minnea-
polls will have all they want to grind
even if it be held for higher prices, for
the export trade supply and demand
will regulate that. Threshing machines
are going at a lively rate, and wheat
will not be all out of the stack until the
snow flies. It is hard for one who has
net seen the condition of the farmers
and who does not understand what a
good or poor wheat crop means to them
to grasp the real significance of the
great wheat crop which is now being
harvested. People who were in debt
will pay up, others viii indulge in more
of the luxuries Of life and trade win be
good on account of the crop. Every
body feels thankful. At the harvest
festival held in Minneapolis last week
I believe that mon, women and even
children had sensation Of genuine
Thanksgiving such as is rarely experi-
enced. s 5ss s:

A Defender of Law and Order Shot
ut East GRIND Forks.

GRAND Forks, Oct. 4.-When
Frank J. Meade wrote his scathing
Article on East Grand Forks it was
replied to in the Grand Forks Her
aid by Robert Woods, justice of the
peace in East Grand Forks, who
stated that the city was as law abid-
ing as any in the country. This
morning at about 8 o'clock Woods
was found lying unconscious on the
sidewalk in East Grand Forks. His
revolver, from which no shot had
been fired, was lying beside him.
He had been shot through the eye.
He never rallied and died at 10.
o'clock. Woods had been watching
by the bedside of sick friend. #
is supposed he surprised a burglar
in the rear of a saloon near by, as q
panel had been cut, and there are
signs of struggle. There is abso-
lutely no clue to the murderer.

THE Salena Republican made a
careful and exhaustive study of the
proceedings of the Kansas CONNER
cial conference, or congress, and sums
up its conclusions as follows:
The Commercial" congress de-
cided yesterday that the people of the
west were in favor of governmental
control of the railways, and were also
against the government tai control of
railways. That they were i'll favor
of stringent laws regulating railways
and also favored no laws for the reg
ulatlon of railways. That the people
unanimously wanted different laws,
less laws, more railroads ana no rail.
roads. This systematic, we'll defined
ground concerning railway legisla-
ton, will doubtless convince all
doubters of the great commercial
W sdom of these distinguished gentle.
men.
The inestimable service this
congress has been to the CONNER
cial interests of the country will be
forgotten:long before they are under-
stood.

The Advocate, published at Brady,
was more hopeful of decent action on
the part of the legislature than the
facts warranted. The Advocate says:
The bill raising the age of cousen
in females from 10 to IA years passed
the house last week. This is one step
in the right direction, but the age
should have been raised to at least
eighteen years. We trust the senate
will see the necessity of passing this
bill, for no girl should be responsible
for her acts at the age of ten years.
The law does not allow girl to
handle her property, if any she has,
until she arrives at the age of 81, but
makes her resposible for that which
is worth more than all the wealth of
this world-her virtue. 1t is blot
on Texas to have such law, and we
believe our senators will amend it,"
The senate saw it, in a horn. In
stead of raising it four years, that
manly senate knocked two years off
that misera ble fourteen and made it
twelve. Should the curse of that
legislature come home personally to
one of these senators, would it not be
something in the way of a merited
retribution, according TO the scripture
which saith that the sins of the
fathers are visited upon the children
to the third and fourth generation.

A Sponge SUUar0.

A convenient receptacle for a sponge is
made of dress braid in two colors-pink
and sage green, red and black, blue and
white, or any other pretty combination.
Alternate strips of the braids are inter,
woven in trellis fashion and finished at
each Of the edges with loop. A square OF
thin rubber cloth, on which the word
"sponges" is written in gilt letters to indi-
cate its use, is then neatly sewed to the
square, leaving the inch or more of loops
in alternating colors to form pretty edge
all around the square. To each corner a
long piece of braid is attached, two of each
color in all, and these are tied together
near the ends to form a handsome cluster
of bows ard ends. The square is then
ready TO hang on a convenient hook in the
bathroom. II may also serve as a recepta-
Gle for any toilet article Sometimes the
alternate blocks of braid are worked with
stars in embroidery silk-Helen Marshall

is clean when you come to go to bed in it,
Don't have dirty water standing in the

dirty clothes in the room, unless it is I'M

If you are liable to colds you can fence off
a draught by hanging a shawl or extra
blanket over a chair in front of the win
dow. This is better than folding screen,
because it is not so large or high, and the

seem unnecessary, but have known some
very nice people-like Beecher's Mrs Prim
who were the reverse OF nice in their own
chambers.
