ELEVATORS AT SUPERIOR.
Thompson Makes Iron. Clad Agreement
With Edwards-Wood Co. to Open
Elevators for All Grains.

With Edwards-Wood Co. to Open
Elevators for All Grains.
Superior, Wis, Feb. 3.-The Ed
wards-Wood Co. won a notable victory
for the Wisconsin interests in the
grain fight today when an agreement
was made with the Great Northern
elevators, represented by A. D.
Thompson company, lessee of the
houses.
The agreement was the result of a
refusal on the part of the Thompson
people to take car of wheat recently
offered for storage at the Great North
ern elevator. The Edwards-Wood Co.
Immediately instructed its attorney to
commence suit to compel the ele-
vator company to take the car. At the
time Mr.. Thompson was away and the
action was postponed until his return.
He at once asked for a conference,
which was held, with the result that
the above agreement was reached to-
day.
The wheat and fax to be sold by the
Edwards Wood Co. will be inspected
and graded by the Wisconsin sinspec-
tors. This was put in the agreement
and rather reluctantly accepted by the
Thompson company. The agreement
is not only a decided victory for the
Edwards Wood Co., but for the Wis
consin inspection interests as we'll.
1t Is probable that other commission
merchants can secure the same pri-
vate privileges as the Edwards Wood
Co. in similar cases, the agreement es-
tablishing a precedent.
T It is said the Thompson people did
not oppose the agreement as strongly
as they might have done had it not
been for the fact that the attorneys
for the anti-Wisconsin interests are
planning a test case to determine the
constitutionality of the grain law at
the present time. If the case goes
against the commission the Thompson
company may possibly refuse the ad-
mittance Of grain and fight the case
which will then be brought to compel
them to do so. If the elevator loses
before Judge Sanborn, the Thompson
interests would have to take the grain
so that it really makes little difference
to them which way they acted. The
other elevator companies are strong
competitors of the Thompson com
pany and will open their houses to
corn, barley and other coarse grains,
thus making the market for all grain
in Superior inspected by the Wiscon-
sin commission an open one.

HUSBAND FoRGAyE.
Wife Of a Fargo Hotel Man Skipped

Fargo Foruml
! Robbed by her paramount of her jew
elry and money and then deserted, the
wife of Fargo hotel keeper has re-
turned to the home she deserted near
ly three months ago and the fatted
calf was dished up.
The story is the subject of consider
able gossip in the east N. P. avenue
district. 1t appears that among the
guests at the erring woman's hus-
bands hotel was tin horn gambler.
His smooth talk and extensive ward
robe attracted the eye of the young
wife and they were frequently seen to-
gether At first the fact attracted but
little attention, but soon there came a
time when neighbors spoke harshly
of the woman.
About that time Mayor Wall an.
nounced that gambling in Fargo must
cease and the tin horns usefulness
here was naught. 1t was then that he
persuaded the young wife to skip with
him. Attracted by the glowing picture
he painted of life in a city, the young

night the pair left Fargo together.
In Minneapolis they took up their
abode. 1t was not long before the
mans funds began to run low and be
drew on the money the woman had
taken. The suckers in Minneapolis
are not the same brand as in Fargo
and the tin horn found no easy money.
Finally wearied of his mistress. ths
gambler gathered together the jewelFy
| and money which the woman still haa
and deserted her in the big city.
Friendless and alone, the woman no
membered her happy hape in this city
and 1t was hoping against hope that
she wrote letter indicating her sitna-
ton and asking permission to cor
back. Funds and ticket were seat

public. buildings and grounds, is a
horse lover and the owner of fine
pair of blacks. The present quarters
are not considered up to what the
stables for the horses should be, but
the embarrassing question confronting
the projectors is where to erect the
stables. The rules governing the cree
ing of stables are stringent and about
the only plausible scheme seems to be
the hauling down of the old and the
erection of a new building on the pres
ent site. 1t seems probable that the
horses occupying the White house
stables will hereafter receive more at
tention and their number be increased
rather than diminished. -

Extend M'Henry Branch.

Jamestown Alert: Residents along
the McHenry branch of the Northern
Pacific expect to see the line extended
to Oberon possibly this year. A good
deal Of land that is now prairie land
in northern Eddy and in the Fort Tot
ten reservation would then be culti-
waited. The present haul for grain is
too long to induce farmers to cultivate
all the good land, which would be
done If there was railroad nearer
than the present line. AS it,is, many
farmers raise little grain, but most
~ let the land lie idle or use the grass
only for stock. Farmers who live
twenty miles or more from railroad
will not pillow up all their land for
crop but prefer to raise stock. A
good deal Of rye, barley and oats are
to be marketed at McHenry and con-
siderable wheat yet remains in the
farmers hands.

Park River Line.

Mimic Journal: It is understood
that the Park River line Of the Great
Northern will be extended in the
early spring from Hannah to Portage
La Prairie. located on the Grand
Trunk about 80 miles west of Win
nipeg. Good authority states that
heavy rails will be laid on the entire
line from Larimore north and that
these are already being shipped in. A
through sleeping car service will be
one of the improvements and Sunday
train will very likely be put on. This
information comes from an authority
high in the confidence of the railroad
company and there is every reason
to believe that the changes mentioned
will be effected.

Back to the Farm.

Much has been written of late years
in advocacy of a return to the soil of
that which makes the land poor.
One of the things that should be re-
turned, however, received nothing
more than a passing notice, and yet
1t is one of the greatest impoverish-
ments from which the land is suffer-
Ing today.
We mean the young men Of the
farm.
1t is true that the Drawn and brains
Of the commercial and professional
world have come almost entirely from
the farm In the past.
There is the making of energy and
pluck and perseverance in the boy
hood on the farm that gives marked
advantage over the pamperA product
Of the drawing room that enables the
young man from the farm to master
the great commercial and professional
problems with ease.
EARLY taught to depend upon his
own brains, to work out his own prob
lems and surmount his own difficult
ties, he becomes as much accustomed
to boldly plunging into an undertake
ing as his city cousin does of getting
into the latest society gossip at the
club. Once Tin, his training on the
farm has taught him never to look
backthat once having put the hand
to the pillow there is no looking back
and the determination that comes
from the fight with nature has made
conquest certuin.
1t is no wonder that in the struggle
of life where these elements of char
acter are SO essential, that he should
have an advantage over the man
whose early training has been large
~ for the purpose of making him an
ornament.
But with all these things to encour-
age him, the young man on the farm
must not think that the professions
and the counting rooms are making
imperative calls for his talents.
The ability of the farmer boy to fill
the requirements of the city's enter
,prises has been so eloquently exploit
ed that too many have turned to the
genteel callings, as they are termed,
and the result is that the professions
are full to overlooking and the COM
petent man must fight giants battle
to win a foothold in them. i,
The results of this overcrowding
are Just the same as it would be in
any other business or calling. Supply
has been greater than demand, and the
inevitable law that connects the two
has lowered the price Of the supply.
The professions have become the
greatest dfudgeries in life. Men when
once they have reached a creditable
position are marked with the brand
Of success. But because Of the over
crowding the struggle is far too hard
for the reward.
Life Is too short to spend the great
er part In winning place.

of the first heat it was seen that the
race was for blood. The heat was a
close one, being won by Schumacher
by a narrow margin, the time being
/ minute SO seconds.
The second heat the contestants
were started on opposite sides of the
rink. This was even more spirited
than the first and was won by Hal
GROVE. Schumacher took a heavy fall
as he was rounding one of the corners,
but picked himself up and gave his
opponent a tight go after all. The ex-
element was intense among the spec
tators as the two racers toed the
scratch for the third go and from the
first until the last lap it was nip and
tuck. During the ninth lap Halcrow
mixed skates with Schumacher and
took heavy fall. The race was then
won by Schumacher in walk and
with it the professional half-mile
championship of North Dakota. The
time Of the heats was respectively L
minute 80 seconds, / minute 4s Sec

This was the local boys debut as a

very gracefully. Many skaters would
