In the total receipts for September
as compared with last year, barley is
the only grain that shows a gain over
last year. This was because of the
strong barley market Shippers hur-
ried their barley to market in order
to take advantage Of the high prices
which prevailed.
Grain men expect to see the receipts
for October considerably eclipse those
Of last year, despite the crop shortage,
provided the railroads can furnish cars
enough to transport the grain offered.
They say that not only does tho
shortage Of freight cars menace, but
that there are many tedious and ex-
pensive delays in the yards, because
the roads are unable to accomplish
the switching promptly.
Shippers and receivers say that the
cars of grain stand for days in the
yards because the roads have not suf-
ficient switching facilities. They are
utilizing extra switch engines. but
some of them are old and there are not
enough to properly take care of the
business.

North Dakota Authorities Investigate

mics "oulcIoe."
Sensational developments are prom
Used in the case of Frank Clark, who
was said to have committed suicide
at Niles in the presence of his sweet
heart, Miss Daisy Dye, teregraph ope-
rator at Grand Harbor.
Clark's father and other relatives
have secuted the theory of suicide
from the start, and G. Clark of Albert
Lea, Mimi, recently made a trip to
Niles for tho purpose of investigating
the death of his son. Clark says that
his son was engaged to be married to
a young woman OF Albert Lea. Miss
Dye declared at the time Clark died
that they were engaged to be married
and Clark committed suicide because
she had resigned her position to leave
for the West.
The coroner is severely criticised
for his failure to hold an inquest in
the case. Miss Dye is said to have
made an important statement to the
station agent at Niles just before the
shooting. This statement is known to
the officials. Letters written by Clark
to Miss Dye are said to throw consid.
cradle light on the tragedy and fur
nish a positive motive for the act.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on States Attorney Thomas to
begin criminal action in the case.

that lie owned such receipt. The de.

that tie law was proper police reg

NORTH DAk0TA'S EXHIBIT IS BEST
Commissioner Of Agriculture Gbreath's Display Of North
Dakota Products Won the Illinois Sweepstakes
and Grand Champion Prize

Shippers in North Dakota are wall.
ing over the lack Of cars. Cars can.
not be had at the present time for
general shipments and agents all over
the state are swamped with orders
by shippers whose goods have been
delayed from days to weeks by the
lack Of shipping facilities.
All the officials Of the different
roads tell the same story. The com.
petition for cars is SO close at the
present time that IL a shipper wants
to secure car he must have his or.
der in at least ten days before the
time designated for the shipment. The
heavy movement of potatoes, wheat
and coarse grains, coupled with the
usual fall traffic has rendered the sit.
uation difficult to the shipper.
Whether the situation will extend
beyond the fall wheat movement is
conjectural. The car situation is al.
ready beginning to assume serious
aspects and the shippers are finding
that they are up against hard prop.
osition. The only thing that the
agents can do is to promise cars at
the earliest opportunity. They are not
fulfilling the promises in many cases,
as shippers have ascertained to their
sorrow. The complaint is general,
and Fargo merchants and shippers
will not be in different position from
the shippers of the Northwest in gen.
eral.
"Will the railroads be able to take
care Of the grain business from now
on?" is the question. The fact that
the crop was shorter this year than
last will not make and difference in
the amount offered for shipment be.
tween now and Christmas. The short
ness of the crop will only become ap-
parent at the end of the season, so far
as the shipments of grain from the
country elevators are concerned.

Fraud Charged.
Following the petition for the Gre

Of the same at the election last year,
Gov. johnson issued the usual procla.
nation, confirming the same and an.
nouncing the new district as one Of
the counties of the state. Protests al.
leging fraud were made, and while
they seemed to be borne out by facts
it was held by the legal department
that the executive could do nothing
beyond announce the legal creation Of
the new county. Mr.. Young, however.
agreed to allow the use of his name IL
1t was desired to bring the matter into
the courts.
Not Enough signers.
This the protestants have decided
upon. Through Mr.. Young, they make
the allegations that insetad of the re.
quired 1000 inhabitants, the new
county has only LOO; that over half
the signers to the petition for the
new county were non-residents, and
that the number on the petition did
not come up the legal figure.
