NORTH OAKOTA FARMERS Will
CONTROL WHEAT MARKET THIS YEAR
At Meeting Friday and Saturday They Plan to Hold For
Higher Prices Hope to Unite With Bankers Assoca
ton in the Movement

The convention of members of the
American Society of Equity of North
Dakota was concluded Saturday after
noon in Fargo. 1t was most sue
cessful gathering of farmers from all
parts of the state for the purpose of
formulating plans for the control of
the prices of farm products, particu-
larly wheat.
Resolutions were adopted, urging
that the farmers of the state, in order
to secure the marketing price for the
products Of 1907, to provide for them
selves temporary bins on their farms
and at their shipping points. and lease
whenever opportunity offers, that they
may be able to hold grain until such
time in the naer future when the
American Society of Equity shall be
able to devise and carry out ways and
means to assist the farmers to secure
control Of line of elevators at local
and terminal points in which to store
their grain.
A committee consisting of ]. B.
HOckbridge Of Hunter and o. Hauan
of Mayville, who had investigated the
matter. reported that the Jenkins Ele-
vatOr company would. endeavor to
make steel tanks holding 1000 bush
els of grain for $1,000 each. 1t was
decided to give few of these tanks
a trial.
The state secretary of the A. s. E.
was requested. to notify all the prgani-
zers and secretaries of the local Or
CARNATIONS to impress upon the minds
of the farmers the necessity for pledg-
ing their entire crops to the society
in order to control the market, so
that there may be guarantee that
the farmers control half the wheat
crop in the United States.
A resolution was passed, recon-
mending that the farmers adopt the
plan of making their annual payments
in January instead of in October, as
has been the custom heretofore.
The principal address Saturday af-
ternoon was by President ]. A. Everitt
Of the national organization of the
American Society of Equity. Mr.. Ev-
eritt said that the wheat must be
pledged, the crop must be pooled and

HAD. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Guest at Hotel Imperial was in Ter.
rible C. p. r. Wreck Last
Week,

Registered at the Hotel Imperial
yesterday was G. E. Fairfield, Toron-
to, travelling man from Winnipeg.
Mr.. Fairfield has just come through
one of the most narrowing accidents
which has ever been reported, rail-
road wreck somewhat similar to the
wreck of the Oriental limited near
data several weeks ago, but several
times intensified. The wreck occur
ed near Port Arthur, Canada, on the
G. P. r. last week when the train
pitched off the track, the cars over
turning and the flames licking out
over the bodies of the unfortunate
victims. Nearly score were killed
and half hundred injured.
The tale of horror told by the WISH
tor was thrilling, even though terri

assistance as was on fire myself.
also noticed a woman and child pin
ned in the wreckage and the fire was
swiftly making toward them. The
flames followed me out"
7 ''Not for million dollars would
witness anything like it again." Mr..
Fairfield was in the tourist car at the
end of the train. When he got out
of his car, after the accident. the 9TH
err car was in flames. AS he de-
scribed it, women and men with their
hair on fire were escaping as best they
could from the flames behind. One
man, whose name the narrator did
not, learn, dashed into the fire. eaten
car and dragged out two women to
safety. Again. the same man caught
hold of yet another female, but she
was badly burnt. eve were lucky in
one respect. The train was four and
half hours late or we might have
been in bed and no one knows where
the fire might have spread" said the
visitor. The distance of the rail from
the bank was criticised. 1t was ap-
parently SO close to the declivity that
there was not room for wheelbarrow
to be wheeled with convenience be-
tween the train and the slope.

and gentle force had to be used to
bring him into the car and thence to
Winnipeg where he now Is.

financed and the marketing and pric-
Ing must be controlled. The speaker
said that four years. ago he would
have held that it could not be done,
but he was now convinced of its pos
sibility. He then told of the society

counties and controlling the output
Of tobacco and fixing the price. He
believed that II 1t could be done with
tobacco. luxury, 1t could be done
more easily with wheat. a necessity.
He said, There are only $50 counties
In the United States which product
wheat in large quantities so that the
task of organization is not a great
one. When the farmers have once ex-
perienced the benefits of being iden-
titled with the American Society of
Equity they will stick to It.
A feature of the resolutions passed
was call for national grain grow
ers' convention to be held at Omaha,
June 5, 6 and z, to consider a plan
brought forward by the American So
ciety of Equity for the marketing and
pricing of grain crops so as to secure
better profits for the farmers. All
the other state unions will be asked
to cooperate in the convention.
President Cashel of the North Da-
kota Bankers association was unable
to be present and Secretary McFad-
den was invited to address the meet
ing. Mr.. McFadden made a good talk
and expressed the opinion that the
financial interests of the state would
cooperate with the farmers in the
interests of all.
A resolution was passed advising
the farmers to withhold from the as
SCISSORS statistics regarding the acre
age, ETC., of crop as the figures would
be used by spectators to the detri-
ment of the farmers.

Hard Lines.

DR.. Austin Flint, the famous alien
list, said at the Century club in New
York, apropos of will contest that
had been tried last year:
The plaintiff lost, and no wonder.
His case was as difficult one as that
of the young man who appeared un-
duly depressed after the death of his
rich aunt.
Why are you so sad" an acquaint-
ance said to the young man. You
never appeared to care much for your
aunt
"'I didn't said the youth dolefully;
but was the means of keeping her
in an insane asylum the last five years
of her life, and now that she has left
me all her money, I've got to go to
court and prove that she was of sound
mind.'"

MRS. CRAMER MURDER TRIAL
Page Woman will Be Retired Late
In the April Term of the Dis.

Fargo Forum: Clerk of Court Pink
ham of Cass county says that next
Monday will be the last day for filing
notes of issue for the April term of
the district court which will open
April %. Whether the jury will be
called to assemble on that day is yet
to be determined and will be largely
governed by seeding conditions as
Judge Pollock is averse to compelling
the farmers to leave their fields in
the midst of seeding operations.
In all probability it will be late in
the term before the states attorney
will move the trial of Mrs. Cramer for
the murder of her husband at Page

MT. PLEAsANr NOTES.

(sPnCIAL TO BYsTANDER
On. Wednesday March 81 1907 the
Death Angel entered the home of Mr..
and Mrs X. Bartlett about the noon
hour and took from their midst their
second daughter. Miss Lydia, although
it WAS we'll known that she could not
recover and her death was to be expect
ed almost any time, yetitwas severe
shock to her home and the community.
She was born near Salem Iowa Nov.
IA, 1873 and moved with her parents
to Mt. Pleasant when about one year
old. She ensered the public schools in
childhood and graduated from the Mt.
Pleasant High School at the age Of II.
For four years afterw ards she was a
clerk for Drs. Smith and Linn leading
physicians of the city.
From childhood to the grave LYDIA
was an obedient patient aud loving
daughter, sister and friend. She be-
came member of the A. NJ. E, Sunday
School when little girl, and mem
ber of the A. M. Il. church when 10
years Of age to which organizations,
she was q faithful member until death
holding various offices in each having
been Superintendent OF the Sunday
School since 1899.
In 1904 when the Iowa District Con-
ference and Sunday School Convention
met here Miss Bartlett was elected the
District Superintendent and baving

mer of 1903 Miss Bartlett had severe
attack of catarrah of the stomach,
and since that time her health
has been failing, and she was unable
to visit many schools in her district, a
fact she often regretted.

tion which met at K eokuk, while there
she became ill and was compsllei to
return home and cancel her visit with
