PASS RESOLUTIONS
Action Taken by Independent
Grain Shippers at Fargo
Last Evening.

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 17.-At the meet
ing. of the independent elevator men
of North Dakota held last evening,
the Independent Grain Shippers asso-
citation was formed. The following
resolutions were adopted:
I'VE the Independent Shippers as
sociation of North Dakota, realize the
importance of legislation for the bet
terment of our coalition.
eve, therefore, resolve that it is
the sense of this association that our
representatives, both state and ma
tional, use their honest endeavor to
bring about legislation to relieve the
present deplorable condition.
1--WE further resolve that We are in
favor of national inspection.
I'VE are in favor of national car
clearing house or the interchanging
of cars between the different railroad
systems.
1--WE also believe these so-called re-
ciprocal demurrage laws as advocated
at present by the press would be a
detriment to the small shipper.
I'VE favor that in the distribution
of cars the blocked houses should be
given the preference.
1--WE favor national law making
the standard weight of all cereals 100
pounds.
BE it further resolved, that We sin
cerely appreciate the assistance of the
North Dakota State Bankers associ-
alton to better the grain Interests of
North Dakota" ...

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New Orleans, Jan. 1.-THE fact that
probably nearly all the sugar cane
syrup and molasses output OF Louisi-
ana of last fall is unmarketable under
strict Interpretation of the pure food
law, is brought out in correspondence
made public here today, between Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson and
Louisiana sugar dealers. The dealers
pointed out to Wilson that for fifty
years sulphur has been used in this
state. in treating cane juice for clari-
fication, and that because of the wide
ly published but erroneous statement
last fall that the department of agri-
culture would permit this use of sui
phur to continue. The crop which is
to be marketed during 1907 was made
in the old way. In a few instances
this product has already been refused
by those who contracted to take 1t
contractors fearing the law.
Wilson In his reply says: 'It is
the purpose of the department, where
goods had already been manufactured
by methods in common use before the
law had gone into effect to give the
very greatest possible freedom under
the law for the utilization of these
goods" But Wilson pointed out that
the use of sulphur is unlawful, at
least as applied in most Louisiana
cane syrup products.

A VERDICT OF $4,000
Kensal Breach of Promise Ac-
tion Results in Large Yer
dict for Girl.

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 1.-THE dis
trict court re-convened Monday after
neon after a recess from Saturday.
The breach of promise case, which at
tracted unusual attention was again
taken up. The plaintiff, Ida May Wag-
ner, former hotel employe of Kensal,
and who is at present conducting a
dressmaking establishment at Valley
City, has appealed to the court to re-
cover $4,000 damages from DR.. w. E.
Longstreth, of Kensal. The plaintiff
claims the doctor made her a promise
of marriage, but this the defendant
denies, but admits all other charges
made against him, which were num-
erous. Attorney Olsberg made a very
convincing plea to the jury last night
in behalf of his client, the plaintiff,
and this morning s. L. Glaspell, pre-
sented his plea for the defendant. The
case went to the jury at 1880 who
after celebrating until 3:45, returned
with a verdict for the plaintiff award
ing her the sum of $4,000.

confirming reports that hundreds

The devastated region stretches
from the wharves in the southern part
of the city to the race course in the
north, to the Customs house in the

Noon-Much surprise and anxiety
are felt at the Colonial Office at the
absence of any further news from the
governor of Jamaica. An urgent dis
patch calling on him to report the
latest details was still unanswered
this morning. The only message
from Gov. Swettenham is one forward
ed apparently on Monday, after which
there was complete silence, indicating
an interruption of official news chan
nels and increasing apprehensions re-
garding the destructive effect of the
catastrophe.
The Colonial Office today was again
besieged by anxious relatives, includ-
ing those of Sir. James Ferguson, who
are still without positive official con-
firmation of the death of the former
cabinet minister, although official adj
vices leave no doubt that he is among
the victims.
During the early hours of the morn
ing, the West Indian and Panama
cable company received a dispatch
from its superintendent at St. Thomas,
announcing that the situation at
Kingston was terrible and that ia

defended by Mr.. Stevens and was op-
posed by Streeter, ]. A. Sorley and
Major Buttz. All except Stevens op-
posed the resolution as tending to
spread broadcast an impression that
the people Of the state were in actual
need and that. the idea that
the legislature was compelled to
appropriate money to meet the wants
.af these people would injure the state.
~ vens took tho same view of the

stories were already in circulation
1t was better to have the impres-
sion go out that the legislature was
willing to extend a ready and willing
hand to the poor who had come to the
state and who had not as yet accumu-
lated a suficiency of the goods of this
world to carry them through the win

asked for an expression from the rep
resentatives of the people who were
suffering, and this led to an animated
colloquy between the father of the
house and Representative Stevens who
