GREAT SERVICE
TO THE FARMERS
Rural Free Delivery Now Has
Forty Thousand
Routes.


On October will be celebrated the
thirteenth anniversary OF the rura'
free delivery In the United States.
and the postotfce department has ls-
sued a summarized report giving the
marvellous progress that has been
made during this time. At the start
the rural route proposition was be.
gun as an experiment down in vlr-
ginla, but little by little the routes
have been added until today Il covers
an area OF over million miles and
with over 10000 routes The total
cost OF the service up to the present
time viii reach 70.0O0.OOO.
Rural free delivery has proved to
be something more than mere con-
venienee for people living In rural
communities. II has materially In.
creased the values OF farm lands and
has been a powerful influence for the
building and maintenance OF good
roads. The postotlce department ea-
Inmates that II has been responsible

sIonA as to the BENEFITS OF the service
may be epitomized as follows:

PESOS AND INTERPRETERS
HOLD SWAY IN DISTRICT COURT
THIS MAN CLAIMS HIS PART
NER DEFRAUpED HIM.

With the original scene laid in Ar
gentine Republic, South America, an
international lawsuit was staged in the
district court room today before Judge
Chas A. Pollock and jury, impanelled
to try the case of M Kasem against
Hassan Merhiy. The action Is the
most unique that has ever started in
a North Dakota court of justice.
From the story that was chopped up
through an interpreter many of the
Assyrian witnesses being, upables to
speak or understand the English LAM
guage, it appears that the principals
to the suit were in partnership in Ar
gentine Republic. There they peddled
their wares through the company and
prospered, as peddlers do. A total of
$500 was accumulated and then the
men decided to sell out. They went
out and worked in the fields. Kassem
now claims Merhiy made off with the
combined capital of the two.
Not until Kasem came to North Da-
kota did he discover his old partner.
He made demand for the 240 pesos,
equal to nearly a dollar apiece and
was refused. Then he returned to
Fergus Falls, Mimi, where he estab-
lished his headquarters and engaging
Atty. Leonard Erickson, started a ci-
vii action.
Practically the entire Assyrian popu-
lation of this section attended the trial
which was started this morning At
torney Erickson of Fergus Falls, Mimi,
and Attorney Turner appeared for the
plaintiff and Atty. T. H. McEnroe rep
resented the defendant.

DEFENDANT BLOCKS GAME ON
THE kIck-oFF-No CAUSE OF
ACTION CONSTITUTED.

In the district court this morning
Judge Chas. A. Pollock ruled with Atty.
A. w. Cupler, holding that no cause
of action was constituted in the COM
plant filed by w. o. wellan in his
suit against d. c. Scoby. The case,
which, is on the current calendar in
the district court, was called for trial
late yesterday afternoon.
Before any evidence had been pre-
sented Attorney Cupler asked for a
directed verdict. From the statement
made at the opening 1t appears that
Scoby sold to Wellan the Jewell Gas
Co. business in this city and also 81 .O00
worth of stock in the Minneapolis
house. In his complaint wellan al
leges that the proposition was misrep-
resented to him, but the fact that he
failed to return the outfit in full furn-
ished an important point for the de-
fense. Ball. Watson, Young & Law
renee represent the plaintiff and Pierce
Tenneson & Cupler the defense.

Larders Being Stocked.

Considerable apprehension is being
felt by the citizens of Fargo about the
ability of the local merchants to keep
in a supply OF food, enough to supply
the local demand. Yesterday after
noon and today the grocers did a
rushing business filling large orders
of staple articles. Many are laying in
supplies Of sucn things as flour, sugar.
and articles Of like nature. A-
However, there is little danger of a
famine. although there may be an ad-
vanca in prices should the strike Com
tinue for several. weeks and the tie
up be as complete as 1T has been since.
it started. There is no danger OF
passenger traffic being stopped and
food stuffs can always be brought in
by express, which, owing to higher
rates would increase the price. to the
consumer. Then, too, the local grocery
and produce jobbing houses have
large supplies Of food stuffs on hand
which in a continued complete tie UP
would be diverted to local use en-
tirely, there being no opportunity to
snip out.
Local Mills Will Run.
In speaking Of the strike situation
to representative OF The Forum this
morning, e. M. Wright. manager of
the Fargo Mill Co., said:
"The strike is affecting our business
in about the same way as 1t is affect
ing other lines Of business. We are
unable to ship out any orders we have
and are unable to receive outside
grain. However, there is no danger
of shut down in our mill. We have
enough flour on hand to supply the
local demand both in Fargo and Moor
head and the wagon grain that comes
in from the farmers viii be enough to
keep us running We also have a
good supply OF. coal on hand assuring
the continued operation of our plant.
"Of course we have IN and out ship
ments In the local yards that we are
unable to get at greatly affecting the
business of the mill"
In speaking OF the condition of the
mills at the smaller towns in the
state Mr. Wright said that they were
in about the same condition as the
Fargo and Moorhead mills in that
they nave nothing to supply but the
local markets.
At the Produce Houses.
The same condition exists at the
jobbing houses. All have in shipments
ON the road here which they are un-
able to get. They are also unable to
snip out their orders. They all say
that they have enough on hand and
can get enough by press to supply the
local demand. ls stsa.sr tI u
At the Stacy Fruit Co.. 1t was stated
that the company had a car OF banan-
as and car OF oranges somewhere
between here and st. Paul Tnis firm
stated that 1t would be able to get
enough green vegetables by express
to supply the local demand. The pro-
duce houses have plenty of potatoes
and apples on hand to almost supply
the local demand for the winter.

AS these statements show the strike
is stiff affecting local business to the
proportions of a tie up, except on the
G. M. & st. Paul railroad where all
local stuff has been and is still being
handled by the regular train crews.
In the yards of the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern lines in
Fargo, Moorhead and DiIworth practi-
cally nothing is doing However some
trains have been sent out, made up
principally of the perishable freight

Little Commercial Coal Moving.
Practically no shipments of com
mercial coal are being received or
sent out, although the company is
spotting coal, required by the local
manufacturing concerns, which is in
the yards, at the parious plants. Just
how long the company will be able
to heul coal is not known, all depend
and largely upon the ability to get fuel

head of the lakes. There seems to be
plenty of company coal for the opera

the situation viii, ultimately terminate
no one can forecast, as 1t largely de-
pends upon the length of the strike,
it's effectiveness In tying UP business
and the condition of the weather.
The statements from both the
switchmen and the railroad officials
indicate that there is not the least
change in the situation. Both sides,
as far as can be learned locally, are
firm in their stands and IL present To-
cal conditions are to be taken as a cri-

craver Doing Switching.
One switch engine was working in
the Fargo yards this morning, but with
what result could not be learned. The
yard superintendent and one or two
other officials of the Northern Pacific,
including Division Supt. J. e. Craver,
were doing the switching that was be-
ing done.
This morning Il was learned but not
officially, that the road would try to
get out a coal train west this after
noon, but up to late hour this after
noon none had been moved.
Passenger Trains Little Effected.
AS has been the case ever since the
striks commenced, the passenger trains
on the local roads have been about on
time. Some delays experienced, due
principally 20 secureing prompt

On the Northern Pacific railroad to-
day No. was a couple OF hours late
