The private grain commission houses
are after their share of the grain ship
ments again this season and their rep
resentatives are already beginning to
establish themselves in the city.
Last season the grain shipped from
this point amounted to 100000 bushels,
the wheat alone aggregating $4,000
bushels. This year it is safe to say
that !, $50, 900 will be nearer the figure.

The festive blind-pig 'sspotter" is
getting in his work. During the past
ten days numerous arrests have been
made in Larimore, Grafton and Penn
bina. This is the result of the $4,000

Wheat shippers are advised by the
state board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners to fasten a card on the
inside of every car loaded by them,
near the edge Of the door, on which
shall be given the number of the car,
the date of shipment and the actual
weight Of the grain, ascertained by
such shipper. The Minnesota law re-
quires this, the object being to call
the attention of the state Inspector to
any discrepancy between his record Of
weight and what is claimed by the
shipper. 1t is not desirable that any
name be put on the card.
An enterprise that would materially
aid the welfare and progress of our
city is board of trade. 1t would be
found to prove itself the stepping stone
to a greatness that can in no other way
be attained. BY its organization the
business men of the city can act as a
unite on all movements that ares for
the common advancement of Langdon.
Hardly a day passes but some indi-
vidual citizen receives through the mail
inquiries about the city or county
possibly relative to the climate, popu-
lation, shipping facilities, price of land,
what we produce, cost Of living, etc.
some of these letters are answered, but
quite often lost, mislaid and forgotten,
and this opportunity let go where pro-
bablya little attention would have
aided in furthering the advancement
of our home interests, Let us at once
establish board of trade so that let
tiers of inquiry can be properly receiv-
ed and officially answered. A letter
received from the secretary of the
hoard of trade would have consider
