REMARKABLE INCREASE
IN OLD TAPESTRIES

more than 100 years old existed In the

was learned today, now has Informal
ton that tapestries valued ar SS,OOo,OOO

that it was woven q century or more

Twin City Conditions Bad.

A. M. Knight returned from ST. Paul
and Minneapolis this morning and
says that from personal observance.
the conditions in the st. Paul and
Minneapolis yards are not as good as
has been reported by the railroads.
'Tt takes one about two hours to go
from Minneapolis to St. Paul or from
st. Paul to Minneapolis" said Mr..
Knight. Both going and coming we
were held up for about two hours and
stood for about an hour on the bridge
over the Mississippi. This was the
condition in passenger service and II
certainly must be worse in the fregnt
transportation At all the stations for
some distance this side of st. Paul the
congestion of freight seemed to be
great, every side track being filled
with cars"
Meat Prices May Be Boosted.
So far there has been no boost in
the price of meats in Fargo either in
the retail or wholesale markets, but
it is probable that should the firms
have to ship the fresh meat in by ex-
press there will be a raise in price.
due to the difference in freight and
express rates.
At the present time there is practi-
cally no fresh meats coming in at the
Armour Co. house 1nere, and nothing
is being sent out. This company re-
ported that they are entirely out OF
fresh meats, but that no advance in
price has been made and that there
will not be an advance unless express
shipments should have to be made.
The company is expecting car ship
morrow.
No Coal Shipments Received.
The local retail coal dealers have
not received any further shipments of
coal and the majority of them are
practically sold out. The Interior
Lumber Co. has not a ton OF coal left
in the sheds but that has been sold
although it will take several days to
deliver all of this, indicating that the
greater portion of the population has
supplied themselves with an extra
amount of the fuel, enough to prob
ably last them for many weeks.
Union Light Gets No Shipments.
The Union Light, Heat & Power Co.
has received no shipments of coal
since Nov. 80. There are several cars

SNOW CAUSED
LITTLE TROUBLE
RAILROADS IN LUCK TO HAVE
STORMS COME ON SUNDAY
WHEN BRANCH TRAINS ARE
NOT RUNNING - PASSENGER
TRAINS LITTLE DELAYED.

The railroads Of this section Of the
country have been exceptionally lucky
so far this winter In that the two hard
est snow storms-the ones that tied
up traffe--have come on Sunday
when there are no passenger trains
run on the branch lines.
Despite the quite heavy snow fall
and the high wind which piled up
rather large drifts on both the
Southwestern and Casselton branches
of the Northern Pacific railroad sun
day, the trains over these lines left
the city practically on time this
morning. They were proceeded. by
snow plows and will reach the end of
the lines only little late. The same
thing occurred on these lines when the
snow fell four weeks ago.
Few Trains late.
The snow yesterday did not effect
| the main line traffic to any great ex-
| tent, most of the passenger trains
pulling into Fargo nearly on time. No.
of today was three hours late, while
] No. was about three hours late get
ting out or Fargo. Both the South
western and Casselton branches had
a number of snow drifts on the tracks
I this morning. No effort was made
Sunday to open UP these lines, as IL
was useless to undertake a clean up
until the wind died down. 1t is the
expectation of the officials to get the
trains through on these lines practical
ly on time by running the snow pillow
ahead of them.
Storm Was General.
That the storm was general is
shown by the following report issued
by Observer Grasse at Moorhead in his
| daily bulletin today:
Yesterdays storm swept the British
possessions, Red River valley, Mime
sofa, South Dakota, Nebraska. and
| eastward over the lake regions. It was
most severe over Manitoba and north
ern Minnesota. Winnipeg reports one
| incn of melted snow, and Port Arthur.
1.0S In northern Montana and AL
berta the temperatures ranged from
/ 1 to 20 below zero, and in North Da-
kota to IL below. A high pressure
area covers Montana and British pos
sessions adjoining, causing colder
weather. Fair and continued cold may
be expected in this vicinity tonight
and Tuesday.

How 70 Find the Blind spot.

The blind spot" that occurs in every
eye, no matter how perfect may be the
sight, is that precise point where the
-e optic nerve enters HE eye, bout one
tenth inch nearer the nose than the
center.
To discover this spot, take, for ex-
ample. two rubber tipped lead pencils
and hold them together at arms
length, directly in front of you, one in
each hand; close your left eye, and fix
the sight of the right eye on the left
hand pencil; gradually separate them
until about six inches apart. when it
will be found that you have lost sight
of the rubber on the right-hand pencil.
While this is a natural condition in all
eyes, still the fact remains doubted by
many till it is tried.-Sunday Maya
