BY THE LAKES.

Attorney Grover Produces the
Great Northern Tariff Sheets.
M. d. Grover, attorney of the Great
Northern road, produced some tariff
sheets of rates, and explained that as
lake rates were not subject to legal reg
ulations the rate from Chicago down
the lakes was sometimes higher and
sometimes lower than from Duluth.
This depends on the number of boats that
are in port ready to take out loads.
From Duluth the tate is practically reg
ulated by the Northern Steamship COM
pany, which with its six large steel
steamers is enabled TO carry large pro-
portion of the wheat.
A. B. Robbins testified that the only
money the elevator companies had ever
made was in buying grain in the fall and
carrying it until spring. He proceeded:
ION the four-cent a bushel margin
wouldn't take as a gift the best system of
elevators that could be given me. 1t costs a
little over four cents buShel to keep our
elevators open the year round. The railroads
insist that we must build big houses so as to
store grain when they can't carry wheat.
The market today is higher Cor cash wheat
by 112 cents a bushel than it is for May, and
if it was always that way it would reduce our
margin 10 2l2 cents, and we would lose
money. 1t has been frequently SO this year.
Mr.. Robbins explained his letter to a
French inquirer. and said, as Mr.. Ans
den did. that the percentage of profit
was given on the stock of the company
outstanding-ab half million-and
included earnings of their fuel business
combined with it. But about SO, 600, 900
capital was required to do the business,
and if the profit had been computed on
that the profit would be reduced to
about 4 per cent?

Down TO Figures.

In four years the company had hand
led 34,52S.0S4 bushels of wheat, at a
profit of 1874, 500. The rate per bushel
for the four years had been 2 272-1 ZOO.
The total storage charges had been
S4S4, 696.29, and the rate per bushel
403 900. The buying and handling
of this wheat had given the company,
aside from the storage charges, 1929, S04,
or S7-100 OF l per cent. For every dollar
the company had handled it had re-
ceived S1.O3. They had received less
than per cent on the $2S,0O0,000 re-
9uired to do the business. The SOS, 000,-
600 required to do the business included
the value of the plant. The business
was done on borrowed capital. That is
true generally. lie continued:
IF we had paid the farmers one cent a
bushel more we should have done business
at loss of 2-10 cent bushel. In these
figures we have made no calculation for the
depreciation of property. The farmers who
shipped from track made money because
they could get The wheat cut quickly. and as
soou as il was off they could draw against it
through local bank Practically they had
no capital invested. The elevator companies
were compelled to keep open the year round,
and he could name stations which for years
had done business at q loss, and which
would continue to. Under the rules of
the railroad companies the elevators
must Keep open pthe year round or
surrender their leases. If l could get all the
wheat.I could handle, could make money

BEGINNING OF The END
All Evidence Taken by the
Wheat Investigating Com
mittee.
Manager Amsden Declares
There's Little in the Ele-
vator Business.
Frank Irons Is Ratified by
Gen. Baprett's CPoss-EX-
animation.
The Commit tee Will at Once
Proceed to Prepare It's
Report.

When the grain investigation COM
mittee got down to business yesterday
Witness Bruggencate, of Herman, tes-
titled. He was engaged s.in buying
wheat at Herman, when, III November
last, he received letter from MI.
Shelby of the Great Northern road.
The letter set forth that Bruggencate
was paying too high price for wheat,
and that he would have 10 come down
or the Great Northern would make 1t
unpleasant for him. Some time prior
TO the Shelby letter he had received
notices like those sent other dealers at
Herman, asking him 10 come down to
list price. He had refused TO conform
to the demand. he had never been IN
convenienced by shortage OF cars or In
any other way as result Oh MS re-
1uSal.
Attorney Grover cross-eXamined the
witness. He demonstrated that the oD-
lpct of the letter was 10 adjust COM
nlaints from the Milwaukee road to the
Great Northern that at points on the
latter road prices for wheat above list
were being paid. with the result OF dl-
yerting legitimate business from the
former line. MIR. Grover made a state
ment to the committee, opening IL with
the announcement that 1t was the only
defense against innuendo and gossip
that the road proposed to make.
There was no attempt on the part
of the Great Northern TO control wheat
prices. The only communications ever
sent out on the subject of prices were
urging the buyers along its lines to con
foIm 10 list price and thus AVOID de-
moraliZation OF prices.
He showed What wild waste the
country traversed by the Great North
ern lines had been before that road
made it possible for farmers to get their
produce 10 market. Mr. Grover S clos
ing address was cleverly worded and 1t
left All impression that the Great North
ern was nothing less than the bene-
factor.o of the farming community.

is for you not to keep repeating your ques.
lions until you get witness mad.
Mr.. Robbins EXPIRE ssed the belief
that, if the wheat was preclpitated on
to the market as fast as it came to the
elevators, and if it could be gotten to,
market (Which it can't be without the
elevator SYSTEM. 1T would be standing
around on side tracks, and the deInur-
rage would soon eat up the value of the
wheat. His elevator company had lost
in one season $4,000. Testifyng as to
the work of Mr.. Irons, Mr.. Robbins
said he was employed as general utility
man to keep the companies posted as to
what is going on. He does not adjust
differences between us and other ele'
vator companies. II don't know as he
keeps any books, and don't see why he
should"
Almost every day there is some ques-
ton Of railroad rates or something OF
that kind to be investigated. Mr.. Irons
simply reports what he finds, and the
companies correct the trouble. The
railroad companies have favored the
track buyers all over the Northwes this
year.
Mr.. MCGEE said he was having pre-
luth, Chicago, Minneapolis and other
points, running back for years. and
would submit it Monday. with that
exception we are through"
Chairman Geissell-That is pleasant an
nouncement.
Mr.. McGee-What shape are we in?
Mr.. Gelssell-Except the evidence OF Mr..
Christie and the statement Mr. Niece refers
to, we are ready to begin the consideration of
| the testimony.
Mr.. Niece said he wanted Gen. Bar
| rett sworn relative to his series OF bold
assertions about the existence in the
| Northwest of big combination.
Gen. Barrett didn't say it was so.
Mr.. McGee-I just want to cross-eXamlne
| you as TO the basis of your claim.
1t was explained that Gen. Barrett's
| statement was in the nature of an argu-
ment and not as a part of the record.
