Unless the railroads running. into
Superior refuse to obey the commands
of the Wisconsin railway commission,
take the matter into court and fight
it. thus causing delay, North Dakota
farmers will soon be able to do what
they have long desired to do-ship
wheat from their farms direct to
Eastern millers without any danger
of having it mixed or adulterated at
the terminal elevators. The object
for which the bankers association,
the shippers association and the state
branch of the American Society of
Equity have long been fighting has
been accomplished through the action
OF the Wisconsin railroad commission,
according to a telegram received at
Fargo. by w. c. Macfadden.
End Of Long Fight.
This Is the elimination of the long
fight which has started at the meet
Ing Of North. Dakota State Bankers
association, held last summer in this
city, when resolutions were adopted
calling upon the Great Northern and
other railroads running into Superior
to assist the grain shippers of this
state in establishing a competitive
market at the head of the lakes by
throwing their elevators open to the
use of the farmers of North Dakota
in place of leasing them to private
parties. A special committee was ap-
pointed to investigate matters.
Acting in accordance with their in
structions from the convention. men,
bers of the committee visited Duluth
and Superior and made a thorough in
vestigation. They found that the
Great Northern elevator. the largest
one At Superior, had been leased to
A. D. Thompson, member of the
Duluth board Of trade, and in conse-
Quence there was no elevator through
which the farmers of North Dakota
could ship their grain direct to the
East.
The committee later went to st.
Paul and appealed to President Hill
and other chief officers of the Great
Northern. A half promise that the
elevator might be opened to the pub
lie under certain conditions at the ex-
piration Of the lease, in August of this
year, was the only satisfaction they
received.

TALES OF A PHOTOGRAPHER.
Strange Requests Made Of Him by All
Sorts Of People.

Strange Requests Made Of Him by All
Sorts Of People.
Portrait taking is not so monotonous
and uninteresting a calling as one
would suppose. In the course of a
day photographer meets with unu-
sual adventures and learns remarkable
stories about people.
Recently well-known photographer
in large city was visited by lady
who asked hi INTO photograph more
than 200 miles. These were addressed
to the lady by man and were of a
very ardent nature.
After she had secured pictures she
purchased the plates and smashed
them. It is presumed the woman was
offered sum for the return of the
letters, but wished to retain her hold
on the man besides getting the money.
On another occasion photographer
was summoned by prominent society
man, who directed him to take a pic
ture Of man, whom he described, as
he was leaving a house. The photog-
rapher concealed himself near the
door and snapped the man. He later
saw the picture in newspaper as
that of a man who figured in a ia
nous divorce suit.
Sometimes photographers are called
upon to take the pictures of two
friends meeting after a long absence.
Many can tell of taking pictures Of
dead pets for broken-hearted house,
women. A photographer recently took
picture Of dog laid out in shroud
In little coffin.
In London a photographer was called
to the house of wealthy man, whom
he found dressed in the costume of
King Lear. He posed and ordeerd
several pictures to esent to friends.
Late rthe photographer learned the
man had committed suicide. ...~
