The consumption of horse and
dog flesh as human food continues
to increase in Germany, where
pork has reached an almost pro-
hibitive price. The official figures
show that 2S,9O7 horses were
slaughtered for human food last
year, against %, ,627 in the previous
twelve months. This, however,
did not include horses similarly
slaughtered by private persons.
Dogs killed for human food num-
bered 1,Q17 against 1852 in the pre-
viOus year.

Is it or isn't it just a little bit peculiar
that the North Dakota delegation in
Washington should wait until after the
election to do something about the car
shortage? And isn't it just about con-
sistent with the past records of these
gentlemen to wait until the interstate
commerce commission had moved be-
fore they said a word. The Washington
reports show that it was only after the
interstate commission had started the
investigation that Senator Hansbrough
and Congressman Marshall said a word.
and the silence of Congressman Gronna
is still SO thick that you could cut it
with a knife. 1t is only when the rail
road interests are affected that Mr..
Gronna develops a bad case of impedi-
ment of speech.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1906-12-20

WAAT has become Of Gov Sarles and
Eas investigation of the car shortage in
North Dakota. The railroads are sim
ply giving the state the short end be-
-cause they think the people will stand
for it. Over the state there is almost
a coal and wood famine. The farmers
and business men Of the state are suffer
ing because the railroad companies can
not or will not furnish cars in which to
ship the crops. Gov. Sarles announced
during the campaign before election
that he had started an investigation.
1t seems to have ended with election.
There has been no report made by As.
sistant Attorney General Stevens who
had the matter in charge nor has
there been a relief from the congestion,
What have the railroad commissioners
done! Looked wise and drawn their
salaries apparently.

Helping to Rebuild Frisco.

Last week R. B. Falconer received a
letter from his brother T. H. Falconer,
who up to last October lived at Mimic,
but is we'll known by many Langdon
people. He is now at San Francisco at
work as a carpenter and states that the
wages paid are IS and $3.50 per day,
with only an eight hour day. Speaking
of San Francisco he says that with all
the workmen who are focking there
from every part of the United States it
will take years to rebuild the portion of
the city destroyed by earthquake and
fire. At the time of writing, Dec. 4th
hundreds of people we're still living in
tents in the Parks, but the weather is
tine, flowers are in bloom and garden
stun green. San Francisco is providing
plenty Of work for all the skilled
mechanics and .laborers that have come
there from all over the country.

WRITES FROM VIRGINIA.
A. L. Perry Writes That the Climate Down
There is All Right.

In a letter from Richmond, Va, under
date of Dec. 10th our old friend A. I,
Perry writes to the DEMOCRAT stating
they are comfortably settled in their
new home. He says it is too soon yet to
write anything relative to the country
or regarding their likes and dislikes
He is sure of one thing, however, and
that is the climate. The lowest the
mercury has gone so far is 25o above
zero-that is only g. of frost. His
'darky" has been blowing every day and
the weather is about the same as would
be experienced here in September. He
sends best regards to old friends here in
Dakota, where the snow lays four feet
on the level and promises to write more
fully later on.

A MEETING of representatives of the
independent grain dealers of North
Dakota was held at Fargo last week.
The object of this meeting was to form
ulate some plan whereby the North
Dakota grain shippers can get a square
deal" III the line of inspection at the
Lake terminals. The subjects were
thereby discussed from all stand points
and it is thought that there will be now
no difficulty in getting together on a
line of action that will admit of bringing
about more satisfactory conditions.

CALVIN NEEDS FUEL.
Shortage of Fuel in Towns West of Here Was
Getting Very Serious.

ooAA"0 Vo'y ootiVuSs
That the Edmore and Sarles branch
of the ct. Northern is suffering from
lack of fuel to the same extent as other
towns in the county is shown by the
following telephone message from Calvin
last Friday which brought the informa-
ton that that community was up
against a fuel shortage. That there was
not a pound of coal in any of the yards
there. The situation was regarded as
very serious, and efforts were made
Sunday to get a shipment of fuel
through to that point. Seventy-ive cars
of wheat have been shipped from there
this year, where 400 should have been
sent out, and there has been but very
little fuel shipped in. There is a popu-
lation of about $50 and citizens who
have fuel are dividing with their less
fortunate neighbors, and this will result
IN everybody keeping warm for a few
days any way. Calvin people received
word Sunday from Sup't M. Nichol-
son, of the Dakota division of the
Great Northern, that one hundred cars
of coal had been received at Grand
Forks during the night, and this Is being
shipped out to points north and west.
MIR. Nicholson further stated that or
ders had been issued, giving coal ship
ments the preference over all other
trains. Within a week, it is figured,
that there will be sufficient fuel at every
point on the Great Northern.

STORM BOUND NEKOMA.
Thirteen Passengers From the 500 Line Take
Jim Hills Train at Lanedon.

Monday a party of thirteen storm
bound passengers, including a number
of commercial men and several ladies'
one of the latter accompanied by a three
week old baby. drove over from Nekoma
in order to take the train to points east.
Over on the 500 line they claim that
train service was abandoned last Thurs
day. They had waited patiently five
days for the railroad to resume traffic
but had given it up coming overland to
Langdon, experiencing bad heavy roads
that upsets their sleighs innumerable
times. Over at Nekoma the rumor is
prevalent that the 500 may find it i'm
possible to open up their new line for
two or three weeks, others claim that
the attempt will not be made before
spring. All towns along the 500 are suf-
fering as a result of no train service.
Fuel and merchandise are both becom.
ing scarce while less than lb per cent OF
the crop tributary to those towns has
been marketed.
