The advantages Of farmers owning
their own elevators was the subject
that was discussed at the convention
this morning of the grain growers de-
partment OF the district union Of the
American Society of Equity.
On account Of the excessive heat
there was not a very large attendance
at the session, and the meeting was
held in the chapel Of the main building
Of the Agricultural college. Farmers
from several of the nearby towns were
present and were much interested in
the discussion. In the absence of the
president, A. v. Swanson Of Minot, the
meeting was called to order by Secre-
tary ]. M. Anderson Of Casselton, and
j. B. Wood of Deering was chosen
chairman of the meeting. This district
union is composed of the states Of
North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa.
The address Of the day was delivered
by Secretary Anderson. He took for
his subject The Progress the Society
Has Made and Advantages of Owning
and Operating Terminal Elevators. He
said in part:
'The society this year organized the
Equity elevator project and we expect
to have by September no less than
ten to fifteen elevators ready to take
in grain. Each Of these will cost the
sum of $4,000, and each will have a
capacity of 100000 bushels of grain.
This will give for each elevator a mem
bership of seventy-five

ENACTMENT OF PERMIssIvE
ACT OF 1866, SAYS THE ATToR-
NEY GENERAL IN VIGOROUS
DEFENSE OF NATIONAL Gov
EMINENT.

Chicago, June 24.--In vigorous de-
Tense Of the power of the national
government to legislate on the sub
ject of the Issuance of stocks and
bonds by railroad corporations sub
ject to the interstate commerce act,
Atty Gen. George w. Wickersham
spoke for an hour this morning be-
fore the Illinois State Bar association.
The basis for his talk was the pro-
vision in the new railroad law author
izing the president to Investigate
questions pertaining to the issuance
Of stocks and bonds by railroad cor
porations- and the power of congress
to regulate them. The enactment of
such a law he contended was not
nearly SO radical a step as was the
enactment of the permissive act of
1855 which gave to a railroad corpora
ton of one state the right to carry
on interstate commerce, on the inter-
state rnerce act of 1887. The at
torney general pointed out that OPP
position had been made to every pro-
gressive measure Of commerce regula-
ton. But" he declared, in closing his
speech, "the centralizing tedency has
gone steadily on, and the control Of
congress over interstate railroad. COM
panies has been exercised in an in
creasingly comprehensive manner.
Such progress is inseparable from
growth. The great arteries of com
munication between parts of the coun-
try and the instrumentalities which

 And at that sound the man stopped. F2e turned and looked at her again.
 "Johni" she repeated "Johnl"
 She approached him. As she did so and when she could get near enough to him. she observed that wrinkling of the brow. that look of amazement which she had noticed before. It was as if some latent memory. some recoi lection of the past were struggling against the obscurity of years. as fl something were endeavoring to thrust itself through sea of oblivion and forgetfulness that overwhelmed his mind, as if she were voice which brought back things he could neither understand nor utter, and yet which meant something to him.
 "John!" she cried again, coming nearer to him.
 She thrust out her hand; she touch I'd him. Again she noticed that strange emotion consequent upon her touch. She laid her hand upon his shoulder. There was amity. confidence, reas- surance. She patted him as she might dog.

 If rained hard during most of the night. The woman slept lightly ana whenever she woke she could hear outside of her sanctuary the roar of the storm. The man. as usual, slept the long hours through as undisturbed by the commotion as a child, It waa apparent to her that he had absolutely no fear. Whether this was due to ig- norance or temperament she could not say. Was fear, after all, under the conditions in which his life had been lived a purely artificial quality. or was it natural and inherent? He had avoidances, abhorrences, antiquities, as the skeletons in the coppice whicn she had buried. Was that avoidance fear or was 1t something else? Was 1t instinct or did it arise from recol lection? She rather fancied the last. If SO 1t was evident that the man had been on the island long time. It would have taken years for the metal that must have been about that woman's person to rust away, for the steel clasps of the dogs collar entire ly to disappear.
 Upon that faint memory that he cherished, upon that prayer that he prayed, she could build the foundation of his education. She had been so sue cessful in training him and in restrain ing him, in influencing him and sway ing him so far that she had abundant confidence in her ability to do so to the end. It was quite evident that life would be easily supported under the conditions in which it must be lived on that island She need have no physical concern as to her material we'll being or comfort, and here was mental education and stimulus which made her for the time being forget the rest of the world.
