GRAND FORKS, N. D., June 15.-
During the present week the North
Dakota Milling association has had in
operation but five of its mills, some
of the plants being closed to await the
decision by Judge Thomas of the
United States court, regarding the con-
test between the holders of wheat stor-
age tickets and warehouse receipts. The
Eastern business of the association has
been practically eliminated since the
association went into the hands of the
receiver, there being safer margins in
orders from the Twin Cities west. At
the present time, President Thompson
is in Montana in the interest of the
association. and has succeeded in plac-
ing number of large orders for flour.

BERLIN, June 15.-Public atten-
ton just now is fixed on the opeN-
ing of the Baltic and North sea
canal. Other questions, even that of
another cabinet crisis which Is how
ering in the air, have been relegated
to the background. On Friday next
twenty-five German war ships will
be anchored in Kiel harbor, having
on board II, 900 German sailors, and
on the many foreign war ships which
will be there at the same time there
will be $4,000 men in round numbers
The United States squadron entered
the harbor today, and on passing
Friedrichsruhef forty guns saluted the
German flag, which was flying from
the fort. The latter returned the
compliment. The postal arrange
ments at Kiel are of an eXtraordi-
nary description. A number of float
ing postoffices will lie in the midst
of the war ships, and a small fleet
of boats will maintain an elaborate
mail service. In addition, a marine
postoffice will be established on
board the steamer which has been
set apart for the use of the press,
and this will be under the supervis-
ion of government officials able to
converse in the leading languages.
The newspaper men, however, are
already complaining greatly, not of
the manner in which they have been
treated, but of the way in which it
is proposed to treat them during
the fetes. According to the pro-
gramme the press steamer will not
be allowed to join in the procession
through the canal, and, moreover,
she will be stationed in such an awk-
ward position that those on board OF
her will be able to see little or moth
ing of the ceremonies. Naturally
this has caused considerable diScon-
tent among the newspaper frater-
nifty, and all the big newspapers
have been compelled to take other
steps to obtain the information
they desire to present in their col
umns. AT the imperial banquet at
Hottenau, Emperor William will
toast the United States navy, and
the band will play Hail Columbia"
In spite of the official statement
to the effect that the canal is safe
and ready for navigation, compe-
tent engineers who have inspected
the. new waterway express the opin-
ion that it is quite possible that the
banks will cave in during the pas
sage of the big war ships. The
lavish character of the hospitality
which will be extended to the crews
of the various foreign ships may be
Judged from the fact that a con-
tract made with a Hamburg firm
provides for the supply of five tons
of fresh meat daily, 1000 bottles OF
wine, 200 bottles of spirits, 10000
bottles of beer, 5000 gallons of beer
in casks and 1000 gallons of milk,
apart from the ordinary rations on
board.

FIRST LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.


Old Mr. Benson Drove the John Bull
and 1t Was Regarded as a Brave Act.
The man who drove the first loco
motive in this country is still alive.
He is old Wood Benson. row So years
of age. He met with severe reverses
in the last ten years, and is now an
inmate of the workhouse on Black
wells island In that institution he
acts as librarian. The first engine ever
run in this country was called the John
Bull, and was imported from England.
No one could be found who was willing
to take up a position behind the throt-
tie until old Wood Benson, then a
young mechanic, volunteered to run
the curious machine. He had worked
In the Brooklyn navy yard as an en-
gineer, and had made several trips on
Fulton's steamer, the Clermont. With
wide-open throttle, the gallant little
engine started off, and soon had
reached the breakneck speed of seven
miles an hour. The trip being success
fully concluded, Benson was appoint
ed engineer of the De Witt c. Clinton,
the first American made locomotive.
She ran from Albany to Schenectady,
though for many years the cars were
empty, owing to the timidity of the
public. This was in May, 1929, and
for sixty years after that Benson was
in the service of the New York Central
railroad. Mr.. Benson has no teeth,
and not a hair on his head. He lost
them both in very curious manner,
while running from Buffalo to New
York in 1849. He was approaching the
Herkimer bridge, near Syracuse, at
speed of about forty-five miles an
hour, when he noticed that the bridge
was on fire. A freshet had covered
the rails with about three inches of
water, while the supports and frame
work OF the bridge were on fire. The
Herkimer bridge was situated on
curve, and Benson did not see his dan
ger until close upon it. 1t was too late
to stop, and with wide-open valve the
train Numbered over the lettering
bridge. The engine and cars got over
safely, but Benson inhaled the steam
generated by the fire and water on the
bridge, and his teeth soon after dropped
out. The flames singed every hair
from his head, and it has been as bald
as an egg ever since. Mr.. Benson dis
plays a fine set of teeth, with which
the railway company presented him,
this being the only compensation he
obtained for his bravery. During his
service with the company he amassed
a considerable sum of money, but lost
it all in speculation. In spite of his
misfortunes the old man is as spry as
possible, and takes much pleasure in
telling the story of his career.
