The position of church clerk had been
vacant for six months, and the report for
that office was presented by the pastor
who stated that the membership of the
church was 12O, showing gain during the
year of little more than rs per cent. e.
T. Gadd was reelected church treasurer
after several terms in succession. He
stated that he did not wish the Office, but
the opinion Of the members was that no

do the work. He was voted a salary OF

Ing to $4,000, has been collected and ap-
piled to the removal Of a mortgage In

is covered by pledges During the year

extension work and forwarded to the
proper organizations. The contributions
to this branch Of the work of the de-
nomination have been double those of any
previous year. The income Of the church
has decreased $500 during the year.

FARM MACHINERY FIRM.
Cooperative Buying by Farmers
VIII Not Secure Any Discounts


VIII Not Secure Any Discounts.
1t is the desire of certain North Dakota
farmers to pool their orders for farming
implements during the coming spring for
the purpose Of obtaining discount. There
has been an advance on all kinds Of
farm machinery Of from. 10 to Is per cent.
This advance has been general in all
classes Of manufactured goods as well as
grocers' staples. Several weeks since
quite a number of North Dakota agri-
culturalists assembled at Grand Forks.
and agreed upon a plan of cooperative
buying. The scheme originated was to
have one man buy all the machinery
needed and have 1t shipped to some cen
trail point in North Dakota for distribu-
ton. This, however, appears to have
been abandoned on account Of freight
rates.
Since then they have come to the Min
neapolis jobbers for the purpose of eff
fecting the much desired cooperation. So
far as learned none of them have an
proa ched any st. Paul dealer with sim
har proposition. In speaking Of this mat
ter yesterday, Mr.. Henry M. Tusler, of
the Foster Implement company, said:
Il can see no prospect of the North
Dakota people securing any reduction In
the price of farm machinery by co-opera-
tive buying or purchasing in large lots.
Harvesters are sold direct to the farmers,
individually, through agents Manufac-
tuners apportion territory to certain men
who appoint subagents, who sell direct to
the farmer. On smaller and less costly
implements, such as plows. seeders, etc.
the plan of sale is different. They are
sold direct to local dealers in many in
stances, and, of course, these local deal
ers can do as they please in the way Of
wholesaling goods. All machinery has ad-
vanced, with other products, from 10 to
Is per cent. 1t Is evident to me that the
farmers will be compelled to purchase of
agents direct as heretofore"

NEWS OF RAILROADS
PERMISSION SOUGHT TO INCREASE
THE TARIFF ON LUMBER TO
CERTAIN POINTS
m SOUTHERN MINNESOTA

Hearing Granted TO the Interested
Lines by the RaiIroad Commission
-ReasOns for the Request Are
That Cost of Transportation Is
Greater - A Party of Burlington
Officials in the City.
Several interested lines met the railroad
and warehouse commission yesterday aft
ernoon in a conference upon lumber rates.
A petition-has been made by the Omaha,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis & st. Louis,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific for
permission to raise the present tariffs 1
cent per 100 pounds to certain points in
the southern part Of, the state. The hear
Ing is the result of the order for the with
drawal of a. lumber tariff recently issued,
containing the raise in rates which is
asked for.
Under the new statutes lumber is in
cluded in the list of commodities upon
which rates cannot be changed without
the permission of the railroad commits
sion. The Milwaukee road has withdrawn
its lumber tariff, and the other roads
have suspended the new rates pending a
decision. The arguments. put forth by
the railroads in support of. the advance in
rates were that the cost of Transportation
is more, and the increased expenses of
traffic demand better rates than We're in
effect year ago. The matter was dis
cussed at some length and testimony re-
ceived, though the commission announced
no decision. Those present in the inter
ests of their different roads were: Vice,
President Clark and General Freight
Agent Pearce, of the Omaha; 3. D. Sew

Agent somers, of the Great Northern;

charges that g. city inspector had ex-
amined fifty cows out Of a herd Of e,gh-

the entire herd had been inspected. fa.-s
Dr' baltimore, in speaking Of the in
spectlon OF cattle, said he had made the
tests at the request Of the dairymen and
had charged them 70 cents per head for
MS services. He gave as his reason for
not reporting the two cases to the health
department that the department would
not pay any attention to his examine

of eighty-f1ve cows, as claimed by Dr.
baltimore.
