A GOOD RULING.
Grain. Inspectors Must Hereafter Keen
Off 'change.

All assistant chief inspectors and
all deputy inspectors of the state
grain inspection department have re-
ceived orders from Chief Grain In
spector Marshall to 'sk keep off
'change' from this time on.
The order, which has the full sane
tlon OF the railroad and warehouse
commission, will end practice which
has, in times past, been EN- barrassing
and which might easily become dan
gerous.
Chief Inspector Marshall said it is for
the bestinterests of all concerned, and
would put the inspection bureau on a
more independent footing.
The order is more important than
would appear on the surface.
The assistant chief inspectors and
chief deputies in the Minneapolis in
spection bureau have for years made
a practice OF appearing on change
every morning. Their attention
originally was to watch the results
OF the inspections made in the rail
road yards by deputy inspectors.
But abuses grew out of the practice.
1t was found that the wishes and
judgement OF grain owners were fire.
quently reflected in the decision made
by the chief deputies. In many in
stances they have favored the grain
dealers, perhaps against their own
good judgement. Tney formed friend
ships on change, and sometimes
would give their friends the benefit
OF a far-fetched doubt. No charges
of dishonesty, SO far as known have
been made.

A SEVERE HAIL STORM
Passed to The South of Warren Mon.
:. day Afternoon "

r.
Last Monday a heavy cloud rose in
the north west and for while matters
looked as though we were in for a re-
cord breaker in the way of storms.
but Immediately around Warren there
was nothing out of the ordinary sum-
mer thunder storms, except that when
the rain first broke it was accom-
panied by some hail but not enough
to cause any damage, especially as
as there was no wind with it. The
weight Of the storm passed to the
north and both rain and hail were
more severe farther north. Later in
the day another storm was seen to
pass to the south of us and reports
from farmers around Angus and
farther south say that considerable
damage was done to the wheat by
hail. The following is from the
Crookston Times.
Inc northern part of Polk county
suffered considerable loss yesterday
from a storm which was about four
miles wide and travelled from point
about SIX miles north of East Grand
Forks through Angus to Thief River
Falls. The clouds were noticed here
about four O'Clock and many thought
that we might feel the effect of them.
A heavy rain, wind and hail accom-
panied them and all combined did
considerable damage in the territory
named. W. A. Marin, the insurance
man, tells us that he learned TODAY
that the loss will be but a partial one
in most instances. On the Prouty
farm, run by Jack Powers, six miles
north of east Grand Forks, however,
all the grain was pounded into the
ground by yail, and several adjoining
farmers lost heavily. The fact that
there was heavy hail storm at Thief
River Falls late in the evening would
tend to show that the same storm
travelled in that direction and it is
probable that the damage was some
what heavy during the intervening
distance.

Era of the Electric Farmer.

Chicago Record-Herald: Further
experiments and tests OF Edison's
new storage battery appear toleave
no doubt in the minds OF electricians
that he has finally attained the great
est ambition of his later years in the
perfection of a DEVICE that will be
revolutionary in it's effect upon the
arts and industries OF man.
The Pittsburg Times calls attention
to a possible utilization of this new
battery, which has not been ex.
plotted atlength, but which promises
to be even more revolutionary than
it's effectupo traction systems. The
Times believes it will bring about
"the era OF the electric farmer"
Says the Times:
The wind engine on a. farm may be
kept going when ever there is any air,
and being coupled to asmalldynamo.
lit will churn out and store power
that may be drawn upon at nj ght to

that are necessary to the conduct oi
farming operations; or it may be used

cooking OF the food Ii there is a

tor.
This may seem like a wild stretch o.
optimistic fancy, but as a matter o.
fact there is nothing improbable
about it. Ifelectricity can be stored
in the manner Indicated in Mr.. .Edisons
description of his invention there is
no reason why every brook that flows
through meadow may not yield
enough electric energy to reap a far
mer's grain, bind it, t,haulit to the barn
and thrash it for market. Indeed
such a battery as Mr. Edison appears
to have devised may be used to hauI

Bali at Stephen.

The kid nine went up to Stephen
Tuesday to take a swat at the ag-
grrgation up there that has been
making such sad havoc OF the small
boy combinations for the past sea-
son.. Manager Prosser selected q
good crew and had them in the best
possible trim and went north with
the intention of putting anything
they met on the has. been list. His
battery, Mattson and Sether, had
been haunting the side streets and
lonely moors for a week or more,
getting next to each others style
and arranging a code OF signals that
were calculated to strike their con-
testants with awe. Mattson had
gotten the various twists on the ball
to such perfection that he felt sure
the other fellows would think their
bats were all holes, and Sether could
throw a liner to second without an
effort. Ard they went. But! the
first game-they played two was
not according to schedule. The
Stephenites had filled up the holes in
the willows. A second baseman was
not on the bag when he was wanted.
When Mattson signaled an in Sether
tried to catch an out, and incident
ally and all the time the other fel-
lows played ball. After the rag chew
ing was over and the wreckage clear

sistants got together and figured up
the eruns and found out that the visit.
ors had lost by a score OF IL to 8.
Now everybody that is acquainted
with Manager Prosser knows just
how he would feel and act in case
OF this kind. He was mad, and
threatened to send every one of the
players to the benches and play the
next game himself. Cooler judgment
prevailed, however, and he satisfied
his ire by retiring Mattson and TAX
ing the guidance OF the sphere into
his own hands. From this on things
came our way on a canter and at the
end Of the seventh inning the~score
keeperecalled the game because he
had run out of paper on which to
keep the tally. When Warren went
to bat in the eseventh inning, the score
was 6 to 4 in flavor OF ofStephen. When

EAGLES ABOUT NEW YORK.

Stnto-

An unusual number of eagles have
been seen lately in northern New Jer-
sey. and many have ventured even

near Nincland recently, several were
seen ut Orange and two nj least are
known to have been shot on the pail
sades near Fort Lee. Eagles are pro-
tccted by the game laws OF New
York, but not in New Jersey, says the
World.
1t is commonly supposed that eagles
are practically extinct except those
preserved in geological gardens or on
the American dollar. But a great MANY
exist in their wild state comparatively
near New York. In the mildcr re.
gions of this section they are still n
familiar sight. The game law Of New
York has fixed as Il penalty n fine of
$50 for killing an eagle or disturbing
its nest. y few eagles nests have been
found on the upper palisades.
During the winter months, when
food is scarce, the eagles are Obliged
TO traverse large area. This FREE
quentiy carries them 80 miles or more
from their nests.
In the case of the eagle captured
near Nincland the other day the bird
was only imprisoned after fierce
struggle. The capture was made by
John Barrnclin while driving through
the woods.
He found two immense bald eagles

CERRENCY LEO TIlN

Representative Hill of Connecticut,
who is one of the best Informed men in
congress on financial questions, thinks
there should be some further currency
legislation at the present session. He
says that the gold standard law as it is
In the statute books, while declaring
Tor the preservation of the parity of
the two metals, prescribes no method
and provides no means by which such
parity of gold and silver can be main
tanned against assault II lay down
the broad proposition" said Mr.. Hill in
speech in the house, that parity
cannot be maintained between the two
metals except by eXchangeability al
the will of the holder, when both are
full legal tender, and that no nation
on the globe engaged in foreign trade
ever has maintained silver at parity
with gold at any fixed ratio for any
length of time where exchangeability
was refused as n clear and understood
policy of government"
There may be no immediate urgency
for legislation providing for the ex-
changeability of silver and gold, but
of its desirability, sooner or later, there
can be no doubt and since it is a mat.
ter requiring only Il simple amend
ment to the currency act of last March
there would seem to be no good reason
why it should not be disposed of by the
present congress. AS to Mr.. Hills
view of the greenback as the most in
sidious enemy to the preservation of
the parity of the two metals, while his
argument is admittedly plausible it Is
not likely to exert much influence either
in congress or upon the people. His
contention was that with the present
prosperity of the country and the pres
ent abundance of the revenue there is
no chance for the re-establishment of
the endless chain, but that with a re-
versal of these conditions there is moth
ing in the statutes, as they stand at
present, that prevents raids for gold on
the treasury. when the demand for
gold comes" he said, las come it surely
will, 1t will first manifest itself by
the presentation Of greenbacks for re.
demption and not, as indicated in the
debates in the other house, by the
cashing of gold certificates" This ap-
prehensiOn Of possible trouble from the
greenbacks, in certain contingency, is
entertained by n great many fnancers,
but the fear Is not general and popular
sentiment is so strong in favor of the
greenback that legislation at present
to remove it from the currency Is out
of the question.
