Profit Takina Market.

Minneapolis, Dec. Advantage
Awas taken of strong opening today
to take profits on long wheat. Taking
the liberal and persistent advice wheat
has had and the heavy liquidation, we
consider the action of the market most
encouraging to the bulls. The set
back was moderate the undertone
strong and the technical position still
healthy, not TO mention the legitimate
ly sound situation based upon statits-
tics. Al close survey of the market
fails to show any weakness. Cash
wheat holds strong and primary re-
ceipts continue in too moderate
volume to permit supplies TO accumu-
late. Until stocks enlarge we fail to
see any safe footing for the short sell
lers. May wheat should be bought
on setbacxs like we had today

new CATHOLIC CHURCH
Archbishop ireland and Bishop Me-
GoIriek Have Planned to Develop
Settlement.

A scheme of Catholic colonization
for the northern section of Minnesota,
which promises results almost as
fruitful as the colonization promoted
years ago by Archbishop Ireland and
the late Gen. George L. Becker, is
now well in hand, with Bishop Nc
Golrick of Duluth, til Catholic
Colonization society and the D. s. B.
Johnston Land Co. Of st. Paul, work
ing in cooperation.
The land which is proposed to col-
onize lies In Mile Laos. Becker, otter
tail, Hubbard and Marshall counties.
With the exception Of that In Marshall
county 1t is well wooded with hard
timber.
Dairying lie to Be Encouraged.
The definite purpose of the promot-
ers Is to found colonies which shall
devote themselves almost exclusively
to dairying, with the idea that the
dairy business will be the most prac-
ticable in that section and that it is
sure to become the most profitable
and certain.
The colonization society has sent a
number OF efficient priests into the
field bith ebroad and at home, to dis
seminate the news Of thee pportunity
for intending settlers. The contract
on behalf of the colonization society
has been closed with the ID. s. b.
Johnson Land Co. by Bishop McGol-
rick of Duluth. The Johnson company
has stipulated as a condition that no
settler viii be received unless he can
command the sum of $500 in cash.
That viii enable him to make his
first payment of So an acre on his
eighty" and leave balance for the
purchase of machinery and supplies.
Practical Assistance offered.
When the walls of each new cabin
and barn are up, the Johnson COM
pany will furnish lumber OF the value
of $500 to De paid for in annual In
stallments. The Johnston company
will also help the settler to pull up
the stumps on ten acres Of land,
charging him no more than the cost
OF the work.
AS soon as reasonable number Of
purchasers are settled in any district,
and on the request OF Bishop McGol-
rick the Johnston company will build
a church, a school and a : me for the
priest in charge.
Last, but not least important. the
Johnston company will put In suff1-
cient number of Holstein bulls for
the purpose of developing a high
grade of mich cows.
The entire scheme has the cordial
of Archbishop Ireland.

strenuous for Surveyors,

Ernest Johnson returned home last
evening from Carson. N. D., one of the
new towns on the coast extension of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, says The Mankato Free Press.
Mr.. Johnson for several months past
has been employ d as civil engineer
by the st. Paul road. Speaking of
the weather conditions In that vicinity
Mr.. Johnson said: For several weeks
our surveying party lived in tents and
miles from civilization, with the mer-
curry from Is to 20 below zero. In order
to take the train for home we were
forced to drive across eighty miles of
prairie in a fierce blizzard"

LOOKING FOR
A COMPROMISE
EVIDENT THAT LOCAL STRIKERS
HOPE FOR ARRITRATloN-THE
FIRST PERIsHA5LE SHIPMENTS
MADE ToDAY-MANY FREIGHT
TRAINS MOVING.

1t seems evident from what can be
learned locally that the strikers are
looking for a compromise with the
railroads. They expect to arbitrate.
The local strikers seem disposed to
look with favor upon such move IL
it is sanctioned by the officers of the
swftchmen's union. Some OF them
were not anxious to strike but went
out when ordered to do SO and they
viii stand by the union in all it's moves.
The position of the railroads rela-
tive to a compromise is not known
here although there seems to be feel
ing among the officials that the roads
viii make no effort to compromise the
differences between themselves and
the switchmen and believe that If they
want to go to work they win have to
do so under the old conditions, which
existed prior to the strike. Just what
the position of the strikers in general
will be on this subject cannot be as
certained, but it is probable that the
local men will return to work under
these conditions provided the union
SO orders and not until then.
First Perishable Shipments.
Despite previous reports made by the
local agents of the roads it seems that
there has been little or no shipments
of perishable merchandise made out of
Fargo. 1t appears that the emh argo
has been removed from such ship
ments but that refrigerator cars were
not provided.
This was brought out at a meeting
of the shippers of perishable mer-
chandise held at the commercial club
rooms late yesterday afternoon when
they called the three local agents to
meet with them and see why they were
being deprived of hot car service when
Grand Forks was receiving it. A re-
port of this meeting is made in an
other column of this issue.
The meeting seems to have had its
results for considerable of this class
of freight was being taken today,
which some of the shippers say was
the first that has been sent out since
Nov. 80.
Other Freight Moving Good.
The reports of the railroads indicate
that business is advancing in efficiency
with rapidity. Sixteen trains were
sent out over the Northern Pacific
railroad during the twenty -four hours
ending at midnight, one train better
than the report made Monday Many
trains were also moving today on the
other two lines.
All kinds of freight is being brought
into the city for local merchants and
are being set for unloading.
