SUNNI. Tramwsy Extension. !,

u
The question was asked Of Ex-Senator
Clark today: "What Is the status Of the
Summit tramway extension at this timer"
Mr.. Clark replied that the Summit tram
way xtensi, to Lookout would be built.
This extension is for the interests OF Git
ford. Lookout and she large territory TO
the so1th of those places. The people of
those sections feel that they were instrn-
mental in securing the original tramway
and they are determined to benefit by it's
advantages. In answer to the article
published by the Lewiston Tribune last
week answering interviews IN the Teller
Mr.. Clark stated that he wondered who
wrote the artic e. He seemed to- think
the party was not responsible 10 any way
for the actions OF the tramway company.
Summit aud Clifford people were each
holders OF about IL shares of stock. but
the larger number OF outstanding shares
were held by persos whose snsis were
adjacent to OF south Of Clifford. The plan
thought to be the most feasible and
cheapest at present is an extension TO the
bucket system, bat a motor or electric
car line may be considered later. Al
though the wagon road hetwten Lookout
and Summit may be good at present, but
few months later il on It will be almost
impassatle aud the conntry people will
eel the need Of "a tranway.

A Sad Accident,

A most distressing accident occurred
at Agatha last Monday when the little
six year old son of w. Evans was ac-
cidentally shot while playing with a
loaded gun in the home of G. w. Wright
his uncle. 1t seems that the little fel.
low who was visiting there at the time
found loaded gun standing beside bed
in one of the rooms and dragged it forth
in great glee into the sitting room
calling out to the 9 year old son of Mr..
Wright "See what have found.n
AS he dragged it along the floor and
looking into the muzzle it was dischar-
ged in some way killing him intantly
and narrowly missing killing Mr..
Wrighl's son at the same time, the
stove alone saving him, it being be-
tween him and the gun. A couple of
shot entered the back of a little baby
playing on the floor but fortunately it
was not seriously hurt. The remains
of the little Evans lad were taken to
Lewiston where they were inferred
Tuesday. He was nephew of George
Wright. Mrs. Wright went to
Agatha Monday afternoon to attend
the funeral. The parents, almost dis
tracled, have the sympathy of ev-
cry one in their sad bereavement.

UNIFORM GRAIN STANDARDS
Bill That Is to Be Pushed BY Senator
McCumber,

Washington, Dec. Sit is the inten-
ton of Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota to take up at an early day the sub
iect of securing a uniform grain inspec-
ton and standards along the lines of the
bill he has presented in congress. 1t is
the opinion of the senator, verified by
the investigation which he has made in
to the subject during the past year, that
measure can be passed which will Sc
cure the desired results. He will, IN a
few days, have conference with the
officials of the department of argicul-
ture to see what progress has been made
in the examination into the matter which
the experts have been engaged in fol
some weeks.
According to the investigation which
the senator has been able to make in in
dependent ways among inspectors in the
different states, there is so much variety
in the methods employed that loss is
caused to the grain growers and profit
to middlemen 1t is estimated, from these
reports, that fully one-third and posi-
bly, more of the high grades of grain are
not paid for according to the proper
grades when they leave the farms, but
the shipments of these high grades from
the ports of export show that the grades
are raised after the stocks of grain have
passed into the hands of the exporters.

Minneapolis, Dec. 3.-The wheat mar
ket today has hem very atEnng. Out
side interest has increased considerably
and prices are l1s cents higher for Min
neapolis May. The general indifference
on the part of the public to the strong
legitimate situation in this market has
been one of the important checks to ad-
vance that have been started hereto
fore, but it is now thought that with
more liberal and general support from
this source splendid advance from this
level is assured. Receipts were slightly
in excess of year ago, shipments $4,000
against $4,000 bushels. Clearances AGO.
600 bushels. Cables Indifferent to our
decline of 1s cent yesterday. Interior
elevators stocks estimated at 10000
bushels less than year ago. A wire from
Germ there with 100, houses through the
Canadian Line received but 1000 BUSH
els on Wednesday. Northwestern Miller
makes the flour output for the mills at
Minneapolis last week $4,000 barrels or
10000 barrels over the record. Some
100000 bushels of wheat delivered on
December contracts. Forecast for to-
morrow indicates unsettled weather with
more snow. We continue to feel as we
have for weeks very friendly to May
wheat and believe that on all weak
places wheat bought will show splendid
returns.

TO CONTROL WHEAT MARKET
Eight Million Farmers Will Organize
for That Purpose.

Chicago, Dec. Eight million farmers
of the United States are to be joined
in gigantic union to control the price
of grain by placing it on the market only
as needed, according to plans formu-
lated by delegates now assembled here
from different parts of the west. 1t is
delegate, that thorough organization
of the western grain growers should be
first secured and then the invitation eX-
tended to the farmers of all America to
enter into the union and protect them
selves against the Juggling of prices by
middlemen, at present the only ones
to realize great profits.
Mr.. Jackson's plan seems to meet the
approval of all in attendance and will
doubtless be adopted.
"All the farmers of Minnesota" said
Mr.. Jackson, "are heartily in favor OF
a movement that will protect them from
the existing condition of being forced
to sell their product for what they car
get for it. Minnesota's tillers of the
soil think they ought to have some say
as to what their products are worth
The solution of the trouble lies in a
national organization that will enable the
farmers not to force supplies on the
market faster than it can absorb them
and not to sell any faster than the con
sumner needs them.''
The meeting of the advisory board
appointed in October at the farmers
convention. Robert Lindblom, president
of the Farmers National Cooperative
Exchange company, outlined the plan OF
the new organization.
Fifty million dollars year," said he
"are paid to middlemen for storage
and commission. Farmers should consoli
date, do away with the middlemen ant
secure equitable prices for their pro
ducts. Organizations should be formed
in every township, county and state
No one could resist such powerful
organization"
The states represented are Minnesota
Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
