LEAVE SUNNY SOUTH
Farmers VIII lmmlgrate to
Northwestern States.

Reports have been received at the gen.
eral offices of the Northern transcontinen-
tai lines that q large movement of set
tiers from the South has been started
and that hundreds Of homeseekers from
Tennessee, Mississippi, North and South
carolina and Georgia will pass through
St Paul Tuesday en- route to their new
homes In the Northwest.
immigration agents, representing the
Northern tranScontinental lines, have been
laboring with the Southern farmers for
several years. trying to persuade them to
move to more productive lands in the
Northwest. The first big return from the
work of the immigration agents is now
apparent. According to advices received
hundreds OF farmers have sold their lands
In the South and are now preparing to
move to their Northwestern homes
Strange as 1t may seem, last years
large cotton crop and the high prices paid
for the product is responsible for the
exodus from the South With the money
realized from the sale Of their cotton, the
Southern farmers have been able to pay
off their debts and consequently may
now leave their unproductiVe farms. This
Is what the SOutherners have been want
ing to do for years, but the repeated fall
ure of crops has kept them without funds
and made 1t necessary for the Southern
agriculturalist to remain on his poor land
But the big crop of last season and the
high price paid for it has finally given
the farmers of the South a chance to
leave their lands and to move to a coun-
try where they can yearly make a COM
Portable living from their farms.
Many of the immigrants that will take
up land in the Northwest formerly lived
in the North. Then went South ten years
ago at the time the big Southern land
boom was in progress. Since then they
have been trying to get out of debt and
return to the North.

COL. MONFORT'S LIFE
FAST EBBING AWAY
Patient Is Failing Rapidly De-
spite the Efforts of the
Physicians.

Slowly but surely the life of Col
Charles ]. Monfort is ebbing away
hour by hour the strength of the pa
tient is failing, Notwithstanding the eff
forts Of the physicians to ward off the
inevitable.
A rally of such promise as that Of
early Thursday evening was thought
within reason, but did not come. Grad
ually, SO slowly that the change within
an hour was hardly perceptible, the
colonel sank to the end during the long
hours Of Thursday night and Friday.
Without apparent pain he passed in
to Inconsistencies during Thursday
night. His daughter, Mrs. ]. G. w.
Dunn, and his sister, Mrs. John Sum-
mers, both Of st. Paul, were told early
in the struggle that there was no hope
of ultimate recovery.
Every known method Of prolonging
the life Of the stricken man was re-
sorted to by the attending physicians
yesterday although it was recognized
that the efforts were destined to be in
vain. This was done to some extent
at the instance of the patients sister,
Mrs. ]. K. Keyes, of Oneonta, N. Y,
who is now speeding across the coun-
try.
A constant stream Of inquiring cit
liens passing through the rotunda of
the Windsor at all hours yesterday at
tested the popularity of Col. Monfort
Men in all walks of life came to learn
the state of their stricken friend,
whose fatal sickness was first made
known through T b e Clio be Friday
morning. Telephone calls almost with
out number were received. All were
given the same sad news-that there
was no hope.
The threatened second stroke of ap-
oplexy did not materialize, but the out
come of the illness could not be more
certain if such had been the case
During yesterday afternoon and last
night heroic treatment was necessary
to preserve life, and if the patient is to
be surely kept alive until the arrival
of Mrs. Keyes like methods must be
continued

GRAIN FIGURES
MISLEAD SENATOR
Those MCCumber Used Covered
Both Wheat and Flour Re-
Ceipts at Duluth.
Snecial to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, April Members
of the Duluth Board of Trade are up
in arms over the assertion of Senator
McCumber, of North Dakota, that
farmers have been robbed of 10000, 900
by head of the lakes elevator men,
owing to the Minnesota system of grain
inspection, which is in operation i'll
both Duluth and Superior, and they
have indited a letter to Senator Clapp
asking that in their name he make a
full denial of the assertion on the floor
of the senate. A telegram to that
effect was sent yesterday, and letter
explaining the situation was forwarded
today.
When Superior was fighting to pre-
vent the extension of the system of
Minnesota inspection into Wisconsin
territory a large amount of data was
collected, and it is said that portion
of this has fallen into the hands of
Senator McCumber. 1t was the figures
which were gathered at that time which
were used in his argument.
Senator McCumber asserted that the
farmers had been robbed by reason of
the fact that the grain shipments from
the combined ports of Duluth and Su-
perior had been 26,00O,000 bushels
greater than the receipts, according to
the returns that were made to the
farmers who consigned the wheat 1t
was charged that the weights at this
port had been shaved to this extent
and that the elevator men had made
the profit
The explanation of the board of trade
is that at a time when an effort was
being made to emphasize this port as
q grain shipping point the flour receipts
were reduced to bushels of wheat and
added to the wheat receipts in order
to bolster up the totals in this To-
cality. 1t was claimed that this was
legitimate deduction which could not
be called into question. This, it is
stated, accounts for the discrepancy
between the receipts and shipments at
the head of the lakes and explains
away all charges of fraud
Aside from this the board has for
Warded to Senator Clapp an exhaustive
report on the workings of the grain
inspection law in this state 1t is ex-
planned that there is an absolute check
on every cargo Of grain which comes
here and that reports of state inspec-
tors and elevators are compared week
1y in order that there may be no mis-
take
The fact that it is announced from
Washington that Senator McCumber
will not force to a vote his bill provid-
ing for federal grain inspection during
the present session will not deter the
Duluth board from having the situation
fully explained. They will provide the
senate with full information in the hope
that it will counterfeit the statements
which have already been made. 1t is
possible that delegation may be sent
TO Washington to take up the matter
with the Minnesota representatives in
congress.

latter.s answer to his complaint He
specifically attempts to refute the state
ment and explanations Of the transactions
growing out Of their partnership in two

defendant nothing. He also claims credit
for originating many profitable deals

MINNEAPOLIS
CHAMBER COMBATS
YOLSTEAD'S IDEA
Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce Pleads for Reciprocity
With Canada.

Reciprocity is discussed in the an
nual compilation of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce report now in
the hands of the printer. From a mass
of statistics the report makes plea for
reciprocity with Canada and combats
the idea that abolishing the tariff would
operate adversely on prices for wheat.
The report says:
A representative in congress from this
state recently suggested that farmers get
more for their wheat in the Northwest
by maintaining this tariff his theory be-
ing that shortage of grain to mill would
compel our milleTs to pay several cents
more a bushel. He lost sight of the fact
that a short supply would cause a closing
Of the mills and consequent reduction in
the quantity of flour produced. Reduction
of available supply would bring about
reduction in milling to meet it, and leave
the relations between millers and farmers
the same as before. The only change in
conditions would be the decrease of flour
produced to a parity with the wheat sup
ply in the Northwest. No surer way
could be adopted to curtail the flour in
dustry of the whole Northwest than to
maintain tariff on Canadian grain.

SAYS IT'S ALL ToMMYRoT.
Elevator Man Denounces Speech of Sena-
tor McCumber, of North Dakota.

TOR McCumpeF, or North Dakota.
A. G. Smith, manager of the Barnum
Grain company, in an interview with T h e
G b e last evening. characterized the
remarks Of Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, In favor of his bill for federal
inspection of grain, as ''tommyrot' Of ex-
ferrous to fool even the farmers for whose
benefit it was delivered.
"Mr. McCumber evidently doesn't know
what he is talking about" said Mr.. Smith.
He says one elevator made over $780,
600 in thirty days. l think other grain
men will bear me out In saying that the
combined earnings of the elevators of
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth did not
make half that amount Of money last
year. His statement is utterly prepos-
ferrous.
in the two cities failed to make both
ends meet, and it will be so again this
year. Why? Because there has been
no carrying charge. Last November and
was selling at 1 cent May delivery. Any
one can see how much money q terminal
elevator company can make to fill it's
storage last November and December and
pay 1 cent bushel over the May price
at that time and carry the wheat until
May and deliver it at the May price,
which would be 1 cent per bushel less
than they paid for it. 1t costs 4 cents a
bushel to carry wheat for the length of
time indicated.
"As to Mr.. McCumber's wholesale de-
nunciation of the weighing and grading
Of grain in this state, it occurs to elevator
men that he doesn't know that the state
has entire charge of that business. In
stead, therefore, of accusing us of being
in a league to rob the farmers" by
methods known only to the wheat ring
he had better post himself on the grain
laws of Minnesota.
Just to show the absurdity of his
charges: l have lately done good deal
of kicking about the grades returned by
the state We very often buy wheat for
No. northern and have 1t graded No: 2
works a great hardship on u.s. The fact
is the inspection is very rigid, and the
farmers get the best Of It right along"
