The North Dakota delegation in con.

and would continue to insist upon
complete justice to the grain producer.
Senator Hanna Speaks.
Senator l.. B. Hanna of Fargo, on
behalf of the bankers of the state,
made the speech of gathering. He
pointed out that the independent ele.
vator was of inestimable benefit to
the farmers, as we'll as the business
men of the state. He had been inter-
ested in them, and believed that they
would pay dividends. He said large
reserve should be accumulated to put
them on substantial basis.
He was enthusiastically in favor Of
a terminal elevator. and pledged the
bankers of the state to help raise the
capital stock of 100000.
HIS address was received with much
enthusiasm. and the bankers of the
state and Senator Hanna personally
were thanked for their zeal in behalf
of the shippers of the state.
The following committee was named
to meet with the bankers at Grand
Forks in July to consider a terminal
elevator: e. B. Eisbarth, C. E. French
and NJ. F. Swenson. There was much
talk of a commission house to be es-
tablished by the organization, but no
steps were taken in that direction.
The old officers were reelected with
the exception of the president, G. E.
French OF Penn being named. Devils
Lake was designated as the next meet.
ing place, and the last Saturday in
June as the date.

DOCTORS FOOD TALK
Selection Of Food One Of the Most I'm.

A Mass. doctor says: "Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal con.
troll that the proper selection of food
should be, and is one of the most i'm.
portant acts in life.
"On this subject, may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility,
and more powerful in point of nutri.
ment, than the modern Grape.Nuts.

know of its value"
Grape-Nuts food can be used by

THE REoRGANizED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the companys affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
Of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the com.
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec.
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment Of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, Is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
Of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no un-
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them. have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The com.
pany had $4,000, 100000 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in.
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$150,000.000 a year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
hess still exceeds $4,000, 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception
able character.

FOR THE STATE MUSEUM.
Col. steinbreuek Has Added Collection

Col. steinbreuck Has Added Collection
of Indian Relics From Old Sites.
Bismarck Tribune: A large ship
ment of Indian relics from Field OFF,
GER Steinbreuck has just been re-
ceived at the museum. There are
some fifteen hundred specimens in
The collection, which were obtained
at Randen, Heart river and Fort Lin
coin sites. Some of these relics are
exceedingly rare and valuable; a few
Of the implements are so crude and
primitive as to appear to have be-
onged to the old stone Paleolithic age,
the one in which these Indians were
living when their development was
thrown out of its natural channel by
the advent of the whites. On the
other hand, there were some relics be-
longing to the age following the new
stone age in the collection, the one
into which the Indians would natural
ly have passed had they met no influ-
ences.
The society has recently received
two other specim from another
source. One of these is the skull,
with the skin and hair still on it of
IN Indian child ABOUT twelve years of
age. This rather gruesome subject
was found at Wounded Knee in 1890,
and was loaned t. che society by
Charles Bentley. The other specimen
Is very fine buffalo skull with horns
attached, found twents-eight years ago
by John F. Wallace on the farm of
Oscar Ward and presented by Charles
Wallace.
There is now at the Office of the
curator bound copies Of Volume l of
the society's collesticns, which are
to be distributed to the members. Bis
marck members may secure these by
calling at the office, OK by sending the
curator their addresses.

SHIPPERS BLAME THE STATE Law
North Dakota Grain Men Hold Convention at Valley City
Senator Hansbroush Delivers an Address,

The independent grain shippers of
the state met in Valley City last week
in annual convention. Three distinct
subjects were before the gathering.
The organization of shippers mu-
tual fire insurance company, federal
inspection of grain and terminal ele-
vator at either Duluth or Superior.
Very little aggressive action was
taken by the shippers. All seemingly
felt contented with the present out.
look for the movement of the years
crop.
The state law. which gives to each
elevator its proportionate share of
Ears without regard to the amount of
grain 1t handles, was blamed for much
# the discrimination between the old
;ne elevators and the Independents.
It was alleged that many local station
agents had to be bribed in order to
obtain cars and train crews had to be
7ensioned by the elevator to get cars
set in.
Favors Insurance Plan.
The following committee was named
% investigate the mutual insurance
company proposition and report: Lew
is Thompson of Hatton, ]. j. Taylor
Of Oriska. G. w. H. Davis of Stark
weather. w. c. Fairbanks of Lakota
and H. A. Nicholson of Crazy. The
convention favored the project.
Senator H. C. Hansbrough discussed
national inspection. He paid a glow
ing tribute to Senator McCumber, but
regretted that his measure could not
be gotten even through the senate
committee on agriculture, of which
the senior senator was member. He
told of the introduction into congress
of the idea of a chemical plant for
testing grain. such as the state has at
Fargo, by himself and the establish
ment of such plants at Baltimore and
New Orleans.
The senator expressed his conf
dence in the complete success of the
grain grading policy of the govern
ment. He thought it would be neces-
sary to put laboratories at other
points. They were not expensive.
The wheat buyers themselves would,
he thought, put them into their ele-
vators, and they should be under gov
eminent supervision, as far as possi-
BILE. He predicted that the old hand
grading system was doomed. 1t would
surely be supplanted by this more sci
entific methdo.
He believed that the Independent
shippers, and especially those who
shipped in carload lots, would have
a great advantage over the line ele-
vators. Any shipper who could keep
his grain from being mixed with his
neighbours grain at the local elevators
could surely get government grade
and inspection. This would eventu-

RUN SLOWER IN NORTH DAKOTA
Schedule Of Oriental Limited Length.
ened One Hour and a Half.

ened One Hour and a Half.
A little slower time for the through
trains and improved local service in
many localities throughout the system
are the features of the new schedule
on the Great Northern. The changes
which went into effect Sunday, June
9, do not affect the running time of
any of the trains passing through Far
go, but many Of them will prove ben.
eft to Fargo people, as it makes it
more convenient to journey to various
places along the line.
The schedule of the Oriental Limit
ed has apparently been too fast for
for it to cover, and the running time of
the west-bound train between Fargo
and Seattle has been heightened one
hour and a half, making the total time
fifty-one hours and twenty-five min
utes in place of forty-nine hours and
fifty-two minutes. There is no change
in the time of arriving in or leaving
Fargo.
Another change of interest to those
who travel is the fact that trains Nos.
S and 6, which previously ran only be.
tween st. Paul and Williston, will in
future run as far as Culbertson, Mont.
Tri-weekly train service has been
established on the new line running
from st. John, N. D., to Brandon, Man.
Trains will leave st. John on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday of each week
at 8 a. m. and arrive in the Canadian
city at 4:4O p. m. on the same day.
Returning, they will leave Brandon at
a. m. on Monday. Wednesday and
Thursday and make the same time as
the north.bound trip.
