Minot, N. D., Oct. 29.-Accordjng to reports
to local bankers and machine men from various
parts of the state there is congestion, amount
Ing in some cases to absolute blockade, in
the handling of grain. As a result collections
are greatly delayed.
The railroads have greatly increased their
equipment, adding hundreds of new cars and
engines, until, railroad official put it, they
able to haul seventy-fve loads where last
year they could handle but fifty. In spite OF
this large increase, however, there does not
seem to be enough to haul the grain and
other products to market as fast as the farmers
bring them to the railroads for shipment.
Judging from reports which we are daily
receiving from our country correspondents said
local banker, 1.-The elevators along the rail-
roads seem to be stuffed full.
Farmers, unable to find room for their grain
In the elevators, are dumping it out on the
prairie and things are almost as bad as they
were last year. We received this morning FIVE
letters from bankers in different sections Of
the state, and all Of them are to the same
import. ---.nr ~
''The trouble is that, while the railroads have
added largely to their equipment since last
year and can handle larger shipments the state,
too, has grown remarkably and increased in
population so that the railroads have been I'M

GRANDPA'S BOY
II Year Old Boy Writes Letter for Him.

ssI am a boy eleven years old, in the
Fifth Grade in Grammar School, and my
grandfather wants me to write you what
Grape-Nuts has done for him, says a
Calf. boy.
ssFor more than fifty years he was
troubled with kind of nervous chill
which would attack him in the night,
especially when he was very tired, and
no cure could be found for it.
Also, for about ten years he was
troubled with indigestion which caused
heartburn and he could only eat little
bread and milk for supper, and even that
careful diet, did not always prevent it.
6 After eating Grape Nuts for little
while, the attacks of heartburn and in
digestion disappeared altogether.
To-day at the age of IS he is hale
and hearty, and is entirely cured Of all
his old troubles. / can never thank you
enough for what Grape-Nuts has done
for my dear grandfather.

SEEDS
PROCURED FOR US.
Treat for Smokers Promised by
Secretary Wilson-Pipes
Worth $62 Each. ->- =
q BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. Below would
you like to raise a pipe on your farm
that you can sell to some enthusiastic
smoker for $62? Your uncle, Jim Will
son, secretary Of agriculture, is fixing
things so you can raise that kind Of
pipes It you want to. That is, he has
found out that over in Cape Town the
FARMERS are raising a species of Gala
bash which grows in just the right
shape and size for use as pipes, and
smokers say they make sweeter smoke,
pipe ever known, not excepting the
"Missouri meerschaum. =
Of course, it must not be understood
that you can go into the garden and
pick one Of these calabashes and sell it
for 1862 on the spot. They have to be
treated and polished and fixed with a
lining before they are ready for the
market, but all the same Mr.. Wilson
has learned that the farmers who raise
the calabashes are making stacks of
money out Of the business, and so, for
that matter, are the chaps who treat
the calabashes to make pipes out of
them. The cheapest form Of pipe made
from these calabashes sells for 81 cents
at Cape Town now. The fancy prices
received for them come thru the polish
and finish Of which these pipes are srs-
ceptible. W
Grow in Pipe Form.
The ca1abashes grow with a bowl of
the right size for a pipe, and the stem
of the pipe is the natural stem Of the
calabash which fits into the smoker 8
mouth. It $ simply great, according to
the reports from Cape Town. But there
is one drawback about it, and that is
that the people in South Africa en-
gagged in the calabash-pipe industry are
perfectly aware Of just how good a
thing they have, and do not want to
share it. The consequence is that they
guard 1t with jealous care and it is as
much as q mans life is worth to be
caught trying to sneak any Of the Gala
bash seed out Of the country.
Secretary Wilson has arranged, how
ever, or believes he has, for a small
supply Of it, and with this he expects
to develop enough to meet the demand
Of this country, in time. Any blooming
South African who gets ahead Of your
Uncle Jim and stays ahead will surely
have to 90 some.

Pullinm Suspended Manager McGraw
 For Rowing With Umpire.

VI Asosshhe vsAsAA tAAPAAes
 BOSTON, May 3.-Manager John J. McGraw, Catcher Roger Bresnahan and First Baseman Dan McGann of the Giants were suspended here by President Pulliam of the National league for three days for rowing with the umpire in the game.
 This baseball sensation forced the Giants to hurriedly rearrange their batting order.
 The trouble with the umpire resulted in the players being ordered out of the game when it occurred. Umpire Con- roy was the official that had the play CTS removed from the grounds, and he at once made report to President Pulliam.
 The loss of McGraw will be a severe one to the team in the opinion of base ball men here.
 Bresnahan. who heads the batting order, will also he missed, as will Me Cam. one of the best basemen in the country. The players will n6f Re aB'ffte' fft'' 10 get Into another game until Saturday.
 Without the three stars. however, in a ten inning struggle the Giants won another game from Boston.
 Strang's two sacker in the eighth. which sent in two runs and tied the score, and Marshafls single in the tenth were what did the business for the champions.
 Maroney's wildness in the second inning gave the visitors one run.
 Barring the first inning. when Bos- ton got triple and two singles, Me- Ginnity kept Tenney's men safe. Ames. who twirled in the last three innings, was very nearly invincible.
