WHY NOT ESTABLISH
CLEARING HOUSE
IN CITY?
Prominent Farmer Has UNIQUE
Theory For Remediation
of Car Shortage.

The latest thing in the way of a
remedy for the car shortage problem
is the connection of well known
farmer residing in the northern part
of the state. His idea is unique and
is one that has never been preached,
in that it calls for the organization of
a great corporation by the farmers of
the northwest for the purpose of own
ing and properly distributing freight
cars. His plan also calls for the es-
Enlistment of a clearing house in
Grand Forks. The communication
reads as follows:
why should not the farmers of the
northwest form a great car-owning
corporation. with headquarters or
clearing house in Grand Forks? Such
combination under their own man
agement could have cars properly APP
portioned and distributed to each To-
cality, so that no shortage or favorit-
ism could occur. The combination
should be strictly non-political and
would be powerful enough to obtain
equitable haulage rates from the rail-
roads, and would be an influence for
good in ether quarters"

The railroad bridges at Pittsburg
handle more traffic than those OF any
other city in this country. The struc-
ture over the Monongahela in that city
is the finest and largest on the CONT
nent. The entrance of the Wabash
railroad into Pittsburg was so difficult
that inside of sixty miles it had to
build string of twenty bridges. The
great million-dollar terminal at Pitts
burg stands within the limits OF old
Fort Duquesne. 1t is also on the site

absorbed by the soil it runs of into
the small streams and finds its way
down the river. Last fall the soil was
very dry, and in some places, even
where the snow had blown of and the
earth was fully exposed, there was not
enough moisture in the earth to make
the particles freeze together. This
condition, with the shallowness of the
frost in most places, has made it GER
tain that most of the large quantity of
snow that fell during the winter will,
in the form of water, find it's way into
the subsoil, and there will thus be an
abundant supply of moisture for the
crop in the early stages of growth.

REQ LAKE IS RISING SLOWLY

But No Alarm is Felt Over

The Red Lake river at Crookston is
rising slowly. but indications are that
it will be going up little faster with

the rise noted was seventeen inches.
The banks at that point are not very
wide, and the raise is not large enough
to cause alarm. Up till this week,
the ice has been used by teams and

YACHTING LOWER
PORTIONS Of
BUILDINGS
Saloon Easements Are Being
Flooded in Parts of
the City.

The water in the Red river, which
has been rising steadily for the last
week, has forced number of the
saloon keepers to vacate the lower
portions of their buildings. On De-
Mers avenue, near the river, the lower
portions of the building have been
flooded for some time. On the Point,
the saloon keepers started to vacate
the Easements yesterday. The water
has gone into several of the Easements
In that section of the city.
The Red Lake river seems to be
bringing about as much water in as
the Red river. The ice above the
boom of the Grand Forks Lumber
company, has not broken up yet, and
there is a large amount of moisture to
come from that direction.
A rise of two or three feet will put
the water into the easements of the
First National bank, the Arneson Mer-
camille company and several other
places further up town.

The Biggest Building,

There is now being built on Coney
Island a gigantic globe tower-the big
gest building in the world. 1t will be
600 feet high and 900 feet in circum-
ference. 1t will have eleven floors and
100000 square feet of floor space. On
these eleven floors there will be all
sorts of things to amuse Coney's mil
lions of summer visitors; but the star
feature of them all will be the revolv-
ing restaurant and cafe, first of the
kind in the world. If you are facing
north when your oysters are served
you will be looking west for the soup
and south when the roast arrives. BY
the time the coffee and cigars come on
you will be back north again. In half
an hour you will have Travelled 900 feet
around a great circle, or thirty feet a
minute. The ground floor will be an
automobile garage. Just $50 feet above
the ground will be a pedestal roof gar
den 900 feet in circumference. When
you get $50 feet in the air you will
come to the aerial hippodrome. Here
there will be continuous four-ring
circus. The main hall and revolving
cafe will be 300 feet above the ground,
circling around the great ballroom.
Another fifty feet and you come to the
palm garden in the air, third restau-
rant; statuary, fountains and cascades,
a scenic aerial railroad and all kinds
of novelties. At 500 feet you come to
the observatory platform, fitted with
telescopes. At 600 feet will be sta
toned the United States weather bu-
reau and a wireless telegraph station.
