NORTH COP SCHEDULE.
1t Will Be Arranged by Mail and
There'lI Be no Meeting.

Duluth. March 16.-The proposed
meeting of the schedule committee OF
the Northern Copper Country Base
ball league which was billed for next
Sunday in this city, has been called off
and will never take place unless the
clubs get into wrangle about the
dates In years past it has been the
custom of the members of the COM
mittee to meet two or three times to
make up the schedule, but this year
passes are cut out by the new rate
law and all the business possible Is
conducted by letter.
Duluth's representative on the COM
mittee, A. w Kuehnow, received word
from President Glass to the effect that
he had made out a tentative schedule
which would be forwarded to Mr..
Kuehnow for his approval and If sat
isfactory to him 1t would go into eff
feet. If not, such changes as were
thought necessary could be made and
the revised schedule returned to it's
maker for approval.
The use of several stamps may be
made necessary by this plan but 1t will
do away with a trip from Lake Lin
den to Duluth by Glass, and that of
Telford from Winnipeg to this city
unless as has been said, the men are
unable to come to an agreement by
the correspondence method.

". c. MACFADDEN
in SUPERIOR
FARGO MAN MEETS WITH WARE
re- HOUSE COMMISSION.
In an Interview He Says That the
Farmers Will Win Their Point and
That Terminal Elevators Will Be Lo-
Gated in Superior.

Superior. Wis, March lev. G.
Macfadden, the new member of the
Wisconsin grain and warehouse COM
mission from North Dakota, appointed
to succeed NJ. F. Swanston, arrived
in Superior from his home at Fargo,
and will spend several days here get
ting acquainted with the situation and
with the duties of the office. For the
greater part of the afternoon and even
ing yesterday he was in consultation
with the resident members of the COM
mission, members of the Superior
board of trade and others.
When asked for an expression as to
the situation, Mr. Macfadden had lit
tie to say making the plea that this is
the first time he has visited Superior
since his recent appointment, and that
he was not in position to discuss it,.
"The bankers have not receded from
their position" said Mr. Macfadden,
but I am unable to say just what the
farmers have done about the building
of terminal elevator here as was
proposed. The two organizations of
farmers recently formed have united,
however,, and will work together in
perfecting plans already formed
"The agreement of Louis Hill of the
Great Northern, to lease one or two
of the smaller elevators which the
roads own here is valueless on the
terms named. When we consulted with
him al st. Paul he verbally agreed to
lease them at a figure that would net
the road per cent on its investment,
but later when 1t came TO putting 1T in
writing he wanted what we figured out
to be about double that The sum of
S70 600 annually was demanded as
rental and in addition the lessees were
to make all repairs, to get power from
the big elevator leased by A. ID. Thorn
son, and number of other restric-
tibns were imposed which made deal
practically impossible The farmers
are in earnest and have no doubt but
THAT they will accomplish their ends.
THE snow is beginning to disappear

ing for a good year A big acreage will

despite the difficulty encountered in
getting the big crop moved last year.
Mr.. Macfadden Is secretary of the
North Dakota Bankers association and
is credited with being one of its most
active members. He looks the part of
an energetic man of affairs and the
supporters of Wisconsin inspection

siderable figure in further moves for
