were present when Mr.. Cadman's paper
Was read. He was applauded when he

when he had gotten through.
In taking up his subject the preacher
stated the proposition which he would
prove: That the inerrancy and infal-

BILE OF belief among reasoning men,"
This bold, portentous utterance-in-
volving the most radical departure
from accepted tenets Of the Methodist
church since it's very foundation-was
made from the most representative
body Of Methodist clergy in America.
IL is the first announcement OF an i'm
pending controversy, which may shake
the Methodist church to It's very foun-

IHe speaker. said tnat the tfenQ OF
thought In the Methodist church during
the last fifty years had been toward a
better knowledge and newer view Of
Christ himself, rather than Of the Bible.
He regarded as inevitable restate
ment and a rejudgment Of the church
upon the infallibility and inerrancy of
the Bible.
The Bible he said. was compiled
much as any other book. 1t was writ
fen from tho do xUitnadSaa of
the time. 1t had been impossible to
determine the authorship of much, Of
the Old Testament. Half Of its pages,
said Mr.. Cadman, were Of unknown
authorship. The same was in meas.
ure true of the New Testament.

FOR An ELEVATOR AT DULUTH
MEMBERS OF THE GRAIN GROW
ERS' ASSOCIATION MOVE IN
THAT DIRECTION
A Farmers Elevator Association to
BE Formed, With III. e. Boon
Presfdent-7--Busine Transacted
at the Preliminary Meeting.

The executive committee and dozen
or more members Of the Grain Growers
association met yesterday at the state
house and took, preliminary steps to-
ward the erection Of a small terminal
elevator at Duluth.
The executive sicommittee was In
structed to go before the legislature
and ask that the original site for
state farmers elevator be turned over
to the association, and that the $50, 900
which has been laying idle in the treas
ury as the original appropriation for
the proposed state elevator also be
given the association for elevator pur-
poses.
There was considerable difference Of
opinion as to the best method of fur
thering the projects of the Grain Grow
ers' association. It was finally decided
to organize another association, to be
known as the Farmers Elevator asso-
citation, which will file articles of in
corporation within a few days. The
officers for the first year were named
president; C. H. Hopkins, Fairfax, vice
president, and A. F. Borchert, Bird
Island, secretary. The local elevator
associations all over the state are to
have, according to the plan. shares in
the terminal elevator. The shares will
be sold at s$25 each and no one asSoci-
alton will be permitted to own more
than forty shares. rnsov ~ -c.T71 rag e
With this beginning the association
hopes to do bigger things in the future
However, the proposed league elevator
at Duluth Is contingent upon the action
of the legislature, as it would be
scarcely possible to carry out the plan
without the aid Of the state, in this
respect. pier
Mr.. Boon in his address after the re-
port Of the committee had been accept
ed said that If the farmers elevators
would cooperate and build a terminal
elevlto it would be possible to freeze
out the big line elevators. It would
result in establishment of better grades
and less hardship from dockage He
explained that where a farmers asso-
citation was organized the elevator
margin was decreased and the grade
raised. The line elevator would reduce
the margin to such a figure that it
would be improbable for the farmers
elevator to compete, but at the same
time the FARMERS would be getting the
benefit of several cents per bushel on
all of their product. AS general thing
the line elevators could not afford to
cut the life out Of the margin, but
through a syndicate of elevators where
there was a loss at one point it was
made up at another.

Move on Foot to Unite the Manu-
facturers OF Sweets.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 7--Manufac-
tuners OF corrections throughout the
country are considering a project to
form a trust.
A gentleman of Chicago, whose name
is not yet common property, is the
originator Of the plan, the object of
which is to unite all the large factories
OF the country into a trust, on lines
similar to those of the National Biscuit
company and other combinations.
What may prove a vital obstacle to
the trust scheme is the fact that the
National Biscuit company manages
a confectionery department in connec-
ton with their other business. Should
this company refuse to let go of this
end of Its business. it would probably
be fatal blow to the proposed candy
trust.
There are now about 200 large man
ufacturers Of CONNECTIONS in the United
States. Should these be drawn into the
trust, it would insure a practically
complete control of the candy bust
ness of the country, with the possible
exception of the National Biscuit com
pany
