Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., Aug. 10.-North Dakota
stockInen are incensed at the South st.
Paul stock yards owners and will ask Sec
Rotary Wilson to issue an order prohibiting
the shipment of cattle from North and
South Dakota and Montana to these yards
until the company puts in dipping
plant at South st. Paul.
Both the Dakotas and Montana are I'M
der quarantine and no cattle shipments
can be made to points outside either state
without certifcation by the government.
DR.. Ramsey is in charge Of the quaran-
tine work Of the three states with head
quarters in Fargo.
Senators Hansbrough and McCumber
have been here in conference with him to
secure relief from conditions on which
complaints are made by the stockmen. 1t
is. asserted that North Dakotans ship
stock to South St., Paul to be used as
killers. The cattle that are not infected
are permitted to be shipped on certitica-
ton without being dipped. At the South
st. Paul yards the dealers offer certain
price and prospective purchasers of feed
ers offer much higher prices The seller
cannot dispose Of his cattle to the men
who want feeders. They have not been
/ dipped, and, tho not infected, cannot be
sold In Minnesota. If there was dip
ping station at ST. Paul the cattle could
be treated and sold advantageously.
The company refuses to put in a tank
and the shippers are at their mercy.
After consultation the senators sent a
telegram to Secretary Wilson asking for
an order instructing the inspection de-
\ partment to refuse certiflcation Of any
/ shipments from the three states until a
h tank was put in so there would be a
competitive market at that point.
\ Trolley In Trouble Again.
\ The Fargo and Moorhead street railway
\ Is In trouble again. The company stopped
work several weeks ago on account OF
lack Of funds, after laying part of the
track. The officials had secured a sub.
scription for the stock to be taken UP a!
the work progressed. After the work was
under way the moneyed men refused tt
] take the bonds. All the original cash wa
4 spent and the work was stopped. Eff
! forts. are being made by the promoters t.
! place the stock elsewhere, but there ha
T: been so much delay that the men t
I whom the organization Is indebted hav
begun to Ale claims against the propert
, here. All the steel is here, nearly all tn
/, poles are In place and several miles o
. track have been put down. There seem
to- be no question but that the road wi
1 be built but just when is much in doubt
/ The company has already spent a quar-
/ ter Of million dollars and cannot affor
. to lose the sum- OK
