AS to Grain Inspection.
!. /. In view of the conyentton's belief
that the supervision fof the inspec-
ton Of grain by the national govern
ment at terminal markets is detri-
mental to the grain trade of the coun-
try. and inasmuch as the grain deal
ers had found from past experiences
that supervision Of inspectors under
political control is unsatisfactory, 1t
was resolved that we ,disapprove OF
such supervision, and we declare in
favor of having inspection at all ter
minal markets placed under the SUI
pervision and control of the CONNER
cial exchanges Of such markets.

Warren F.. McCray of Kintland,

Public Supervision Of Weights" that
the utmost accuracy was desirable IN
the weighing Of grain but that such
accuracy was seldom secured when the
weighing was done by political en-
ployes whose interests were chiefly po-

184S, upon which date sthe new line
of road, the first railway west of Chi

that day to the present the growth and
development Of the great grain-pr

Brief Filed by Northern Pacific
Said by Appellant to Be
an Evasion.

Judges Sanborn, Vandeventer and

cult court Of appeals IN ST. Paul TO-
day, began hearing arguments IN the
case of Camille Weidenfeld against the
Northern Pacific Railway company.
Peter Power case, which was ended by
the disappearance Of Power, under
stood to be clerk in the office OF
Weidenfeld who then. appeared In the
proceedings as an intervenor. W cid
enfield sought an injunc ton to prevent
the retirement of the $7b,O0O.000 CT
preferred stock. This was denied Dy
the circuit court, and an appeal was
taken. 1855 y "a. .5
Mortimer H. Boutelle of Minneap-
oils opened the argument to-day Tor
the appellant. In the brief filed by
the Northern Pacific attorneys 1t is
denied that the retirement of pre-
the formation Of the Northern Sc
curities company. Mr.. Boutelle de-
clared that this was an evasion. In
the. original bill in the Peter Power
case and in the bill filed by Weldon
field as intervenor, it was distinctly
stated that the retirement Of the pre-
ferred stock was a part Of a conspir-
acy to merge the merge railway sys-
TENS This case differed from the
other. merger case only in that 1t, in
volved the right Of stockholders to
petition and prevent the formation OF
such a conspiracy. The injunction
was. sought on the ground that the
whole scheme was in violation of the
laws Of Minnesota. The question
really at issue was whether the North
ern Pacific*ha by this action entered
into: a.. conspiracy to violate the state
laws. Mr.. Boutelle contended thai
this was plainly shown from the rec
ords. - II ~

something beside the customary inter
est of such dealers in the work of the
national association. Milwaukee
alone has sent thirty dealers in the
brewers grain-more than have come
to any previous convention. The bar
ley men, it is said, are here to dis
cover why SO much of their trade has
been taken Of late years by Minneapo-
lis competitors. Natural advan-
tages'' is the explanation given locally
That explanation is accepted by the
visitors. They realize that if flour
city dealers are constantly increas-
ing their barley traffic it is because
Minneapolis is situated so as to con-
troll much of the barley traffic. The
high prices paid here, for example,
have been maintained by heavy ship
rnents eastward from Duluth. So
convinced are the wisconsin and
Illinois dealers of these facts that
some of them have limited that they
must yet "go to the mountain and
remove their business to Minneapolis.
