RETURNED FROM BISMARCK
Hon. D. NJ. Holmes Reached Home
This Morning From State Capt..
tal-They are Quiet.

Hon. D. M. Holmes returned this
morning from a short trip to Bis
marck where he went on business mat
ters the first of the week. He states
that things are about as he expected,
not too stormy and not too quiet
Regarding his mission the Bismarck
Tribune has the following to say:
D. M. Holmes of Grand Forks, is in
the city, and like many others, has
mission. Being approached as to the
character of this mission. he modestly
admitted that inasmuch as a good
democrat was at the head of the state
government and that 1nasmuch as he,
another good democrat, had long been
wandering in the wilderness In vain
endeavor to lead the lost tribes to thu
promised land, and furthermore, at
the instance and urgent persuasion OF
his many friends-and republican
foes-he had come like Lazarus, to
pick the crumbs from the rich mans
table, and like Lazarus, hoped he
would find favor-in the governors
eyes, and be handed commission as
state bank examiner.

HAS UNIQUE method.
Of PAYING OFF
ITALIANS
Great Northern Ships All SHOW
cling Crews From Over the
State to This City.

The Great Northern road has a way
Of its own for handling the pay ques-
ton with reference to snow shovel
lers at least.
NO mix-ups on account of missing
time slips with this road; no chance
OF graft by sub-cashiers; no job-lots
OF money sent out to every hamlet
where snow shovellers are Iaboring.
Jim" Hill has another plan,
All the shovelling crews are paid
from the central Office in this city and
accordingly every day one trainload
of men is carried to Grand Forks and
paid off.
Nearly all the laborers employed
are Italians and on account of their
imperfect understanding of the Amer
lean lingo" many curious misunder-
standings result. On whole the
Italian laborers are an easy lot to
handle but every day at the local
office cases where men become very
abusive and vociferous come up and
the tact and patience of the officials
is strained to the limit to keep them
in order.
The men receive $3.50 per day.
From $50 to 1000 are paid off daily,
and at this rate the amount at the
end of February for the month should
reach close up to the $4,000 mark.
January was the hard month not
only on the cashiers but also on the
treasury. Two thousand men were
paid off every twenty-four hours and
in the neighborhood of $4,000 was
cashed out during the thirty days.
Tuesday the shovellers from the
Edmore branch Of the road were ship
ped to the city and spent the day
here. Half of the bunch was paid off
at the passenger ticket office and the
other half received the coin at the
cashiers office in the freight depot.
Wednesday bunch from another
branch was transported in and the
good work went on.
If the present weather continues
many of the crews will be shipped
westward, thus lessening the work
now resting upon the shoulders of
the clerical force in the G. N. CASH
ier's Office.
One of the clerks stated today that
many days the force is kept hustling
from 4 o'clock until and 9 at night,
just passing out the money.

ARGUE new TRIAL IN
$500 L|Tl-
CATION
Case Of w. D. Russell VS..
Waterloo Thresher Go.
Bobs Up Again.

A motion in the case of w. D. Rus
sell against the Waterloo Thresher
company will be argued tomorrow IN
the district court. The motion is for
new trial.
The case was tried last March, near
ly a year ago, and at that time was de-
cided in favor of the plaintiff, Mr..
Russell and it is this verdict that the
Ihresher company wishes set aside.
The litigation grew out of the ex-
change or sale of a second hand
threshing rig by w. d. Russell of this
city to ]. D. Armstrong, former agent
of the Waterloo concern in Grand
Forks. After the deal had been con-
summated, the company declined to
settle up and repudiated the deaf,
claiming that the agent Mr.. Armstrong
had no right or authority to make such
a bargain and that Mr.. Russell did or
should have known this.
Last March a verdict of $1,000 and
interest was awarded to Mr.. Russell
by the Jury.

NINE DIARIES INSPECTED
Tests Have Been Applied to Three.
FOurths Of Milk Concerns in
the City by Inspector.

Everything is working smoothly un-
der the new milk ordinance of the city
of Grand Forks. Milk inspector
Davidson and Deputy Eccles by to-
night will have completed the inspec-
ton of nine of the u or 10 dairies in
the city.
Two days must be spent at each
dairy, owing to the method of inspec-
ton, but within a week or two the
task will have been disposed of. The
milk establishments have been found
in very good shape and there are no
feelings of animosity toward anyone
on the part of any of the milk dealers.
The following are those that have
been examined by the inspector-Car-
tiers dairy, ]. V. Ovens, G. S. Darling,
Green, Peterson, J. E. Sullivan, NJ. l..
Enright, Braseth and Peter Gannaw.

THEY FLAGGED THE ORIENTAL
County Commissioners conjured Sta.
ton Agent at Arvilla to Flag the
Oriental Limited.

Commissioner Thompson and Kors-
mo and Pat Mahon, the new superln-
tendent of the poor farm with Deputy
County Auditor John Nelson returned
yesterday at a. m. from an inventory
taking trip to the Arvilla hospital.
After the work at the institution had
been completed they stayed in the
Great Northern depot waiting for
train.
No train hove into sight for several
hours and as the Oriental was billed
for the first train, it not stopping at
Arvilla, the travellers conceived the
idea of bringing around the agent by
the use of small brides or teasers.
Supt. Mahon delved down deep into his
rear most pocket and fisl1ed out
cigar-probably remnant of the last
election. With much pomp the Ma
dura Habana was presented to ! 2
agent as a token of the great esteem
in which he was held. P. N. Korsmo
earlier in the day had bought similar
weed and this also was tremendously
transferred to the capacious pockets
OF the operator. Sure the train would
be stopped.
The tagging lanterns were gotten
in readiness and in order to make sure
in case the lantern missed aim, red
rag was wrapped around one of Com
missioner Thompsons feet and the
fiery member was stuck up in the win
dow. Along sped the Oriental. About
mile down the track it slackened
speed. The travellers got their tickets
ready. Down rushed the train. When
about 100 feet from the platform it
emitted two little shrieks of laugh
ter and went through Arvilla like
baby through papa's chair.

sioner Korsmo, "the dang thing never

RAILROADS AND REPEATING.

Impropriety Of Discriminating in
Favor of Heavy Shippers.
Experience has made it clear that
the railways, upon whom everybody is
dependent, by practicing rebating
make it possible for the favored ship
per to drive all competitors out of the
market Hence the belief is becoming
general, outside perhaps of railway
and investment circles, that railways
are not TO be looked upon as conduct
ing private business; they are rather
to be thought of as private agents
conducting a part Of the business Of
the State. In. other words, what the
public wants in railway management is
the public quality, as distinguished
from the business quality That is to
lsay, it wants equality Of treatment for
IAN alike. large shippers and small, in
lstead Of the determinations that are
usual and to be expected in private
business
The Importance of the distinction
lean be well illustrated by the tariff.
An importer who brings into the eeun-
try $1,000,0O0 worth of silk goods
must pay exactly the same rate of duty
as the importer who brings in only
1900 worth. That equality of treat
lment indicates the public quality of
the tariff. Suppose, on the other hand,
that, after the manner of business, the
tariff charged the larger importers on
lily 40 per cent, and made the little
ones pay 60 per cent, is 1t not clear
that the large importers could drive
all the little ones out OF business? But
that is precisely what the railways
have been doing with their rebates;
and that is why the public are no
longer willing to admit that railroad
ing is a private business.
n That is why the people demand that
the railways themselves should recog.
nize that they are only private agents
doing a part of the public business
and that is why the public demand
that the law henceforth shall proceed
upon the new view of what railway.

There are few national subjects so
imperfectly understood as that Of bird

readers who realize that the protection
of birds is a subject OF such wide i'm

movement as having no deeper signifi-
eance than the worthy agitation Of a
group OF enthusiasts. and to these
commend the statistics recently com

OLD SUP 2RSTITIONS

From very early times belief in
the efficacy for good or evil of stones
found, or thought to be found, in the
head or stomach of certain animals
has been prevalent. AS early as the
second century after Christ Ptolemy
Hephaestion, the astrologer, describ-
ed a gem (asterites) found in the
belly Of large fish, named pan,
from the resemblance to that god.
This gem, If exposed to the sun
shot forth flames, and was power

own signet engraved with a figure
of the pan fish, and owed to it all
her conquests.
