Naopl, small town on the Great
Northern, and had about 10000 bush
els Of it to-. haul out. Il We have been
ordering cars the greater part of the
fall and winter, but up to this time
have not received any.
~ We waited for some time and until
circumstances with tenants, ETC., COM
PEELED us to get our grain moved out,
which we ran into elevators while they
had ROOM We put it in Especial
with the understanding it was to be
kept separate from all other grain and
was to be- shipped as fast as was pos
sible to get cars. I renewed my efforts
with the station agent to get cars
which he promised [ would get in my
turn, provided no elevators were
blocked, but as long as any elevator
reported blocked, they were to receive
the preference, which was practically
the situation since the LIST of Septem-
Der. However, a few days ago L was
informed by the station agent that he
during the afternoon, and that he
would SPOT it at the loading platform.
| told him the most Of our grain was
then in the elevator waiting on cars
and to spot it at the elevator and it
would be loaded at once. This he pos
itively refused to do, saying he would
give me no cars to be loaded out of the
elevator. This settled the car ques-
ton so far as I was concerned, SO I i'm
mediately sold the grain to the eleva-
tor company, took my loss and tried
hard to- persuade myself to be salts
fed.
There is in the neighborhood of half
a million bushels of grain marketed at
the above point on an average year.
Thus far this season I understand one
car has been loaded on track. L am
indeed pleased to see The j our a

Our Coins ssDon't Coz In Canada.

Our Coins ssDOn't Coz In Canada.
The complaint against the american
silver nuisance" has grown so great in
Canada that an arrangement for ban
ishing our coin from the Dominion las
been put in operation. Canadian banks
will hereafter ship American silver Of
all denominations back to this country.
It is computed that about $1,OOO,OO0 in
United States silver is now scattered
over Canada.
One reason offered for Canadian hos
tility to American coins is the treat
ment given to Canadian pieces on this
side Of the line. Prescription of Cana
dian money has not been universal in
this country. Nevertheless it has been
sufficiently marked in some states bor-
dering on the line to provoke feelings
Of retaliation. This new move Of Can
ada in discrediting our silver will
doubtless lead to a closer scrutiny Of
Canadian coins in places where they
have hitherto been accepted without
hesitation.
