GAVEWHEAIABO0S
A Lively Time in the Minneapolis
Wheat Pit.
BULLS SAW THEIR OPPORTUNITY
Receipts Were Light and TvO-cent
Bulge Followed, Despite
Opposition.

The liveliest scrimmage seen on change
in many months occurred this morning.
Bulls and bears in July wheat came to-
gether at the opening and put up a hot
fight. The bears were badly worsted
and the bulls ran July wheat up two cents
in twinkling, carrying it to 1870.
For a long time the tendency in wheat
prices has been downward. With the new
crop of winter wheat almost ready to har.-
vest, and with spring wheat very prom
Using so far as it has gone, there has
been little disposition to buy wheat in
the hope of an advance. These condi-
tions knocked the price Off about cents.
This morning when the news began
coming in, everything looked so favor
able for the crops that the short selling
was renewed. Before the market opened
July was offering at 721sc and 7214c, and
several we'll known traders sold heavily
at these figures.
But when trading began in the pit, and
the receipts of wheat for the day were
marked on the blackboard, there were
only seventy-fve cars shown, which is
especially light by comparison with this
day last year, when there were 22S cars
in. The shorts became nervous and the
more timid began to buy back their
wheat. This was the signal for the bulls
to spring the trap and squeeze them.
They rushed in and bid the price up, and
in the furry that followed many who sold
July at 721A@72Ac were glad to buy it
back at an advance of 1Ac, or 1870.

CARRIES A FAMOUS NAME:
Captain Sigsbee's Brother Says 1t Is
Rather Embarrassing.

L. P. Sigsbee, brother of Ctptain Sigs-
bee Of the lamented battleship Maine, Is
at the West Hotel. Although he pretends
to be nothing more than a plain travelling
man, and never sought notoriety, Mr..
Sigsbee is one Of the best known travelling
men in the United Ctates. .-!T-
1T all comes from having famous
BROTHER he said. jokingly. -Four years
ago I was unknown to fame. I awoke one
memorable spring morning in 1898 at the
Planters hotel, St.-Louis, to find myself
famous-not because Of any personal ex-
plot, but simply because my brother, Cap
tain Sigsbee, happened to be in command
Of the battleship Maine, which had been
blown up the day before in Havana har-
Dor
my first tidings of the terrible disas-
ter were that all on board had been lost.
I fastened to put myself in Geographic
communication with Washington to ascer-
tain If my brother was still alive, and
directly found myself surrounded by a
crowd of newspaper men, who insisted on
interviewing me at great length because
happened to be related to one of the
commanding figures in the incident which
brought on great war.

ers safety might never have been heard
of outside the well beaten paths Of the
travelling salesman. Now,4I fear, I will
never hear the last Of it.

western town, I have to submit to the in
evitable interview, threadbare though the

PORTAL AS A PORT
Bill on Way Through Congress to-
Make It Such.
THE NEED is NOW IMPERATIVE
Local Importers Back Of the Move
ment-They Sign Commu-
~ -- nicatiOn.

Local importers are pleased with Rep
resentative Fletcher's push in getting in
to congress a bill to make Portal, N. D.,
a port of entry for the Immediate trans
portation of goods. While "a certain in
terested corporation has been six months
trying to get a similar bill started, the
bill drafted by. F. M. Morgan, the local
custom-house broker, is already on it's
way through the house. ...
A communication accompanying the bill
was signed by representatives of diff
ferent interests in Minneapolis such as
the H. B. Waite Lumber company, the
Mcintosh Lumber company, the Park Riv-
er Lumber company. the Gamble Robin-
son company, the Washburn- Crosby COM
pany, the Pillsbury- Washburn company,
the Consolidated Milling company, W. H.
Dunwoody, the Electric Steel Elevator
company, the Van Dusen, Harrington
Kelly company, and others. The bill if
passed will affect importers of lumber,
grain, farm produce, Canadian Pacific i'm
ports, and those dealing in anything i'm
ported over the 500 line through Portal.
Portal is a SUPPORT of Pembina. No
government officer is there: except the
railway station agent. Under the new
law Portal will have deputy collector
of the ePmbina district and MINNEAPOLIS
gauge whisky. Portal will become port
of entry for immediate transporta ton OF
goods. That is goods in bond accompa-
MED by invoice may be forwarded imme-
diately to points of destination without
arpraisenent subject to liquidation at
Minneapolis or other inland ports. As
it is now, everything but consulated
goods. or imports in cars under consular
seal, are held at Portal for entry and
liquidation at Pembina.
The difficulty has reached an acute
stage al Portal since it has become an
important point of entry. Liquidation
must be ma de at Pembina and by the time
the importer gets back from that point
and the goods are subjected to examina
ton the ten days has expired in which he
may register protest against wrong clas-
sifcation and other errors. He is thus
entirely cut off from redress. A case in
point is that of Minneapolis commission
men who find an importation of potatoes
decayed and entirely unfit for use after
ten days has expired.

Devereaux at 10 o'clock and remained with
him for few minutes. and then went back

for a nine-hour day instead of ten, and 1915
day instead of So. 25. -
The company has twenty two men working
as boiler-makers. They were brought into
the yards on Erie cars late; yesterday after

SUIT BY MRS. KING GAG OF SOME WAC I
Rate Sleuths Set Chasing the
Pluton and Furor.
TRAMP STEAMERS" WITH FLOUR
cred the Boats Were Sunk
at Santiago. *

Traffic managers of several of the north
western roads have just finished an inter-
esting and lively. chase after two tramp
boats which were said to be violating
all the laws under which northwestern
traffic is handled.
Star chamber sessions have been fire.
quent among traffic men at St. Paul with
in the past few weeks. Flour traffic has
not been going by routes to suit the
theories of several of the roads. Lake
Michigan ports have been getting the best
of it and incidentally, two lines of rail-
way have been increasing their business.
The traffic mems way of mending these
things and getting the right, explanation
is to call a secret meeting. Several SEES.
sions at St. Paul were without result I'M
til one traffic man advanced the informa-
ton that one of the roads in question
was loading tramp boats at Lake M1ch1-
gan port. This brought immediate &C
ton. For flour to have the benefit of
competition by tramp boats is next thing
to crime in the rules and regulations
surrounding northwestern traffic. 1t is
all right for wheat to go down to Buffalo
in tramp boats but flour, never. Each
road represented decided that the offense
demanded severe punishment and several
sleuths were detailed to secure in
road. After twenty-four hours of
persistent effort and some decid-a
eddy clever detective work by the
several Sherlock Holmeses, the informa-
ton brought into the next star chamber
session was that the two boats were the
Pluton and Furor and both were on their
way to Buffalo. . BE-, =. ~.
This was truly hot stuff, and elaborate
preparations were made to end the career
Of the Pluton and Furor as carriers OF
flour at less than schedule rates. The
wires between Buffalo and the twin
cities were kept hot from II in the morn
ing until in the afternoon. Buffalo men
searched the records of all great lake
boats ever known or heard Of Buffalo
terminal companies were notified to be on
the lookout for the Pluton and Furor, and
to prevent them unloading without salts
factory explanation. The first days
search for the tramps was without result
and Buffalo reported mo progress to one
of the leading st. Paul traffic men, The
next day the whole thing appeared to
have dawned early in the morning on the
brains of the traffic men at Buffalo The
telegram received by one Of the principal
twie city traffic men interested in the
chase, said: -. .s..
:. Better read up on the Spanish American
war and then go out and buy Pluton and
Furor sunk at Santiago in '98.
The last secret meeting OF the traffic
men interested determined that the Hour
through Lake Michigan ports was going
by regular routes, but there is still some
soreness among the rate philosophers.

NO FORMAL PLEDGE
President Paul Discusses the Free
Church Criticism.


President A. C. Paul, Of the CONNER
cial Club, referring to the resolutions
passed by the Lutheran Free church con-
ference at Audubon, Mimi, says that the
club promised to use it's best efforts to
raise $4,000 for Augsburg Seminary in
Minneapolis, that it is putting forth it's
best efforts to raise the sum and hopes
to succeed. Mr.. Paul says: .s...
The club did not pledge itself to saise
dollar for Augsburg seminary The public
affairs committee passed a resolution prom
Using to use it's best efforts to raise $4,000
for the institution in Minneapolis. A COM
mittee from the seminary requested the as
sistance of the club in erecting new build
ing and said that $19, 900 of the requisite
500 900 could be raised outside of Minneapolis.
The clubs committee raised $4,000 in Mime
apolis last year and turned the money over
to the seminary. Recently another $1,000 was
raised in two subscriptions of $500 each from
T. B. Walker and Thomas Lowry. We have
put in much work on this proposition, but
for various reasons subscriptions have been
hard to secure. We hope to be able to raise
the balance and are at work on it now.

MISSION FURNITURE.

One Of the newest things in the way of
furniture is called the mission STYLE" and
it was first suggested to the inventor by see
ing an old Spanish mission chair which was
brought from California. It's quaint outline
and interesting construction indicate the pos
sibility of a scheme of attractive furniture
built on the old early English architectural
lines. The furniture is built Of native ash
stained in browns, grays, greens and is with
out ornament or carving. There are solid
looking chairs for dining-rooms, with rush
and leather bottoms, quantity shaped writ
ing tables for'the library, cabinets for china,
lounges and tables.
