Visit Of inspection - President
Elliott of the Northern Pacific rail-
road and party arrived this afternoon
at O'clock In special train and
inspected the railroad affairs in this
city, after which they were enter
tanned at a luncheon at the North
west rendered by citizens of Bis
niarck. A number of matters of vital
Interest to the city were mentioned

Should Clean at Home-The Min
neapolts Journal notes that the grain
committee of the senate in the Min
nesota legislature held that the reso-
luton of the North Dakota legisla-
ture that grain dealers in Minnesota
and elevator companies should pay
for grain screenings, was impracti-
able. One member Of the Minnesota
committee voiced the sentiments by
saying: "I think that grain dealers
would be glad If all farmers would
clean their wheat at home and keep
the screenings The dealers make
no money by cleaning the wheat, ex-
cept that they get it in condition so
that it can be sold. / don't believe
that farmers suffer any hardship, and
If they do don't see how laws would
help them. There Is no way of CON-
pelhng a person to buy something
unless he wishes to. The remedy for
the farmer is to clean his wheat at
home"
Important to sismarckers - There
will be an important meeting tonight
at the chambers of Judge Winchester
in the First National bank block
which everyone interested in the
prosperity of Bismarck should attend,
the matter in hand being no less
than meeting DR.. E. P. Robertson,
president Of the Red River university
at Wahpeton, which the Methodists
have decided to remove from that
city to a more favorable location. DR..
Robertson has been requested to
come to- Bismarck to talk over the
matter OF locating the university in
this city and it would seem that the
people have now an opportunity to
discuss this important matter and if
deemed best offer Inducements to
have the college located here. Grand
Forks and Fargo are anxious to Sc
cure the school which is sufficient
guarantee of its value to a communi.
Ity. Wide awake people, will attend
this meeting.
Many Settlers Coming In Land
lord Nelson of the Grand Pacific re-
ports that great many persons who
took claims and bought land in the
slope country last fall are now com
ing in to go on their land and begin
their careers as residents of North
Dakota. Among the lot yesterday
were three young ladies from Iowa,
Misses Minnie and Annie Vru-
land Of Lake Park, Iowa, and Edith
Johnson Of Montgomery, Iowa, who
have claims up north, and are now
on their way to make permanent
settlement. The young ladies are all
good looking, apparently well edu-
Gated and appear to be determined to
take every advantage Of the good
things Uncle Sam has to offer to
those who want to settle upon his
vacant lands. However, they are too
good looking to hold down claims
for five years, and the probabilities
are that there will be a record of
commuted proofs and marriage Ger.
