Friday Jan. %.
In a f~ht this afternoon between
| Mianesota and North Dakota, the flick
ertails were present in greater number
and routed the Go0he1s. The last day
Of the tri-state grain and stock grow
erg' convention was the most interest
ing, not only from pc!lt OF attendance,
but from enthusiasm shown in tie pro-
ceedincs.
The chief feature was the frht made
on Senator NcCumbar's national grain
inspection bill.
A committee composed OF E. D.
Chil3s Of Croo@ston, Mimi, d. l.. Well
man of Frazee, 1.iaa ana j. p. Rance
of Webster. S. D, ma dD-el- appointed
to make a special report on the bill.
Their findings were adverse. In fact
they attacked the bill strongly and
urged that l. was a failure from the
feet that it was local rather than a
general measure. and could not be ap-
Piled to all markets.
Suggestions We're made for improve
ment in the present Minnesota ins9ec-
tion by the adoption Of civil, service. to
exclude al incompetents and political
barnacles. and the same en.clent in
spection of all grains that was now
given fax. A further recommendation
WAS made that the Minnesota leSiB a
ture be petitioned TO place these
amendments in force.
The report Of the committee ha( he
SIiolS SuppOl VI q 1oIIiA VI Il
sofa grain men who have been on the
grounu working up sentiment against
the McCumber bill. After the report
ves read there were a number of speak
ers from this state who attacked It.
Col. Benton of Fargo and O.. G.. Major
OF Hope made the bitterest fght. de-
claring that the adoption of the report
WOULD Jfcorad{% NcC,1p har IN hic avn
state; that he had introduced the meas
ure in good faith and was entitled to
respect for his position.
1t was held that the Minnesota grain
men had considerable nerve to endeav-
or to have North Dakota turn down
her own senator in the interest of .aeir
~favorite grain inspection, Cries Of ia
bic the report were heard from all over
the house, and when 4 vote was finally
taken the report was showed under by
an overwhelming majority.
Another important acton OF the con-
svention was in transferring the or
ganization to the North Dakota tnsti-
tute board. The latter will conduct
the meetings in the future and have
"1~ hHcN(N"iA50 PaDA4oAi1A IA LIE llSll-
tute report by the state for the benefit
Of the farmers. This action prevented
the election OF officers.
The general resolutions OF the ASSOC
citation were laudatory of the men re-
sponstble for the success Of the organi-
cation and the present meeting. and
especially to Secretary Wilson OF the
department OF agriculture In his rec
ognition OF the meeting In sending
three OF his best men here for ad-
dresses.
Addresses were made In the morning
by Hoverstad and Bush of Minnesota
Worst and Bolley OF North Dakota and
Greeley OF South Dakota. In the after
noon Mrs. Lewis, Mr.. Greeley and pnre
Food Commissioner Ladd poke. The
latter was rendered a vote OF thanks
for his work in the enforcement OF the
law. In the evening Mrs. Laws and
Prof. Mcdowell spoke. after 4 band
