THEY FOUGHT FOR A CAR
Exciting Times at Mohan as Result of
the Shortage Of Transportation
Facilities.

Mohall News: The car problem at
Mohall is very much the same as at
most other places throughout the
northwest. Our elevators are full and
no apparent relief at hand to meet the
demand. Cars are watched from the
time they are set out here loaded with
freight. until some one can fill them.
Last week an empty car was spotted
and was to be used by a prominent
business man to load with wheat
which he expected to be brought in
from one of his farms. All day passed
and no grain had been loaded. Rich
ard Teslow. manager of the Winter &
Ames Elevator company saw the stu
alton and resolved to have the car
loaded as soon as the cover of dark
ness could lend him aid. True to his
resolve, as soon as he had eaten his
supper, he has teamster draw the
car to his elevator and proceeded to
make ready for his evenings pastime.
About this time another gentleman
with couple of padlocks appeared
and demanded that the car remain as
it was SO he could load his grain the
following day. The two gentlemen
argued the question for a couple of
hours. each determined to win, and all
the time in the car with the Their

would pay him IS for coopering the
car, that he would be out of the troub-
lie. The companion Immediately reach

While these gentlemen were dis
cussing the question, Mr.. Ryd, of the
P. V. elevator was getting his engine
started and otherwise preparing to
take the car off MIR. Teslow's hands,
seeing Mr.. Teslow was otherwise en-
gagged and could not handle the situa-
ton. Mr.. Mason of the Farmers
Elevator, S. G. Berg of the Minneapolis
and Northern Elevator company, as
sisted by teamster, drew the car to
Mr.. Ryd's and put the spout in the
car. Mr.. Teslow's companion ran on
top the car and put ON the brake,
Steve Mason following, takes the gen.
tleman down and sits on him until
the car was partially loaded. Then
the Teslow companion got in the car
and demanded that no more grain 5e
poured in, but the elevator boys were
working as one man and the one lone
fellow could do nothing except talk.
About the time the car was loaded,
thu gentleman who had o.dered the
car Came down to the elevator and de-
manded of Mr.. Teslow's companion
to chop down the door and let the
grain run out on the ground" After
much railroad profanity a compro-
mise was made whereby the elevators
promised to take care OF the grain as
it came in from the farm.

800 MILLIONS OF CHINESE.
Yellow Empire Has About one.fifth Of
Globes Population.

The interesting question Of the pop
ulation of the Chinese empire has
often been discussed. but it is still
impossible to say with any degree of
certainty what the figures are.
At the beginning of the Christian
era 1t is tolerably certain that there
were at least S0,OO0,000 inhabitants.
and it must be remembered that the
empire then was much smaller than
1t is at the present time.
Most of the censuses taken in China
during the last 1000 years, says the
North China Daily News, have not
protested to take in the whole popula.
ton. Young children and old men, for
instance, were sometimes omitted, the
main object of the census being to as
certain the number of taxable persons.
BY common consent the most Seli.
able consus ever taken in China was
that of 1912. This gives the figures
as more than 362.00o,O00. In 1868 the
population was estimated nearly 40S.-
100000; but in 1881 it had fallen to
SS,OOO.000, the great TAPPING rebellion,
in which SO many millions of people
lost their lives, being one of the prin.
cipal causes undoubtedly for this great
decline.
Travellers, missionaries and others,
who have visited the region devas.
tated at the time of the TAPPING rebel
lion, express the opinion that the loss
of life during the great convulsion has
generally been estimated at too low a
figure. and 1t is a question also
whether the terrible famine more than
a score of years ago in the provinces
Of Chilli, Shansi, Shensi and Honan,
with a population of 70,OOO.OOO, is not
responsible for the loss of more lives
than it is usually credited with.
1t is still more certain that the Mo-
hammedan uprising in the northwest
destroyed more lives than it is gen.
orally supposed to have done. A very
moderate computation of the loss Of
life incurred in these three calamities
makes it to be fully 60,000.O00. And
in this connection it would be we'll,
perhaps, to remind ourselves that the
habitual use of opium By such a
large number of the people has tended
to act injuriously on the recuperative
power Of the nation.
