TloNs AND EXPENSE OF CLUB

The road committee of the Fargo
Automobile club makes report that for
month or more it has mad a man
and team Of horses at work on the
roads north, south, east and west
within a radius of ten miles of the
city and the committee is pleased to
be able to state that the roads are
in the very best OF condition, and that
is something they have not been in
for years. This is part of the work
that is being done by the auto club.
Chesbro Smith, one of the members OF
the committee said to The Forum this
morning:
You can say that we have the roads
IN hne shape. While we have a large
membership in the auto club, still
there are quite a number of machine
owners in Fargo and vicinity who do
not belong, but we feel that they
should. We believe that every auto
owner in this section Of the state
should be a member Of our club. for
they are reaping a benefit from our
eXertions. We expect to make other
improvements as the club grows older"

RroomhaII's Report.

Liverpool, June 9.--Our Argentine
agent estimates the wheat shipments
this week at 100000 bushels, last week,
$4,000 bushels; last year, 2,720,O00
bushels; corn this week, 100000
bushels; last week, 100000 bushels;
last year, 3949, 900 bushels. The wealth
er is unfavorable for the growing
wheat plant, it being too dry and rain
is much needed.
Liverpool June AT the opening
the wheat market was affected by in
creased offerings due to the weakness
in America yesterday and the bearish
construction placed upon the Ameri-
can government report and values
were Il lower. Following the opening
a steadier unGertone developed on the
small Indian shipments for the week
and the fact that Indian shippers are
holding firmly together with the firm
ness in the Berlin market and a con-
tinued demand from the continent and
unfavorable weather reports regarding
the new Argentine wheat crop. Values
advanced "a from the opening. Just
before midday there was some realiz-
ing on the prediction of more liberal
shipments from Argentine and the
more favorable American weather in
the spring wheat belt. At mid day,
the market was quiet and prices "a to
" lower than yesterday. Corn was
quiet and unchanged. The steadier
American cables Offset the cheaper La
Plata offerings A cable just received
from India states that in spite of par
tial rains and official advices of good
crop OF wheat, growers continue to
hold firmly. Shipments from India
for the week amount to $4,000: last
week, 1912, 900; last year, 2,264,000.

Tightwad T. F. MarshaIps Methods
Are Shown Up by an ez-Insurger

To The Forum: When Mr.. Marshall
was member Of congress he never
paid very much attention to official
duties. His attendance at committee
meetings was rare. His attendance on
the floor of the house was not at all
regular He never took any part in
any public questions.
The only thing in which he ever in
terested himself was the free acohol
bill, and in endeavoring to make the
people of the country believe that it
was going to be a great boon to therh
But he is a great man to take to
himself the credit of other peoples
work. There are hundreds of instances
in which a member of the senate in
troduced and passed pension bills for
certain men in the state. The chair
man of the committee on pensions Of
the senate had an understanding with
the chairman of the committee of the
house that his bills would be looked
after. But whenever a senate bill
passed the senate, Mr.. Marshall would
instruct his clerk to write to the bene-
fieiary and state that he would look
after it in the house. He never had
to call at the committee on pensions
of the house. He never did call on
any pension matter. He knew that it
would be taken care of. He merely
wrote the man that he would look after
it. and then when it was signed by the
president and the notice was received
he would write the man and tell him
OF the great part he had taken in as
sisting to put the bill through. His
influence I'm the hnllsa was S.,ol, tbot
he could only get four or FIVE pension
bills through a session. But he en-
deavored, as hundreds of old soldiers
in the state of North Dakota will re-
member, to take to himself the credit
of other mems work.
He merely carried forward in this
principle which he has observed
through life.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago. June 9.-Wheat: Opened
u to IS lower. but there was no pres
sure and market rallied easily, July
again leading in strength. Cash sales
since the close yesterday reported
about 250,000. Local professionals in
clined to short side, but short sales
constitute the principal pressure. Some
scattered showers again in the north
west Considering the generally bear
fish interpretation put upon the gov
eminent report and the amount of
short wheat covered prior to its is
suance, today's market was rather a
surprise to many who had looked for a
sharp break. We believe we have had
our break in wheat and that values
win work higher.
Corn Was a very dull affair with
small price changes ruling In the main
steady There was heavy precipitation
in parts of the western belt with
temperatures about the same as past
forty eight hours. Local professionals
best sellers. Buying scattered. Price
current said progress retarded by cold
weather much early planted rotting in
the ground.

A BIGGER NORTHWEST.
Twin Cities to Reap Further Riches
From Its Expansion.

From Its Expansion.
Minneapolis Market Record: There
is new northwest developing west of
the older section, the extent and value
of which is not yet fully realized. The
twin city, however, will reap further
riches with its growth and expansion,
and the country will b. benefited, since
| 1t is to add thousands of cultivated
acres to the food producing area.
This early spring has been Just the
season to develop thai section faster
than could be ordinarily expected.
There has been great incentive to
enlarge the amount of new land to
be seeded, and, with the frightening of
the sowing period, more time is given
to that work in a country sure to be
short of labor.
The widening or extension If the
territory tributary to the twin city
and Duluth has been going on with in
creasing activity for years, but in the
last few seasons the local market has
begun to feel the benoficial effect Of
the trade. With the ri-s land values
and the greater attractiveness of farm
ing as the result of tho high prices,
the far western sections of the
northwest have settled up more quick
ly than expected, an settlers have
been able to attain an independent po-
sision more quickly than in the old
days. Moreover, the increase in their
capital has permitted them to expand
their land holdings and farming op-
perations, condition which has open
ed up the country very fast
Although the railroads have grown
with the expansion of the country, the
gridiron of steel still misses many pro
ductive centers. The opening of the
Milwaukee extension is great help
to bring the consumptive mar,.ets
nearer to a large, rich section, and
more of the products of he Missouri
slope will be available
There can be nothing but the most
optimistic prospects for the northwest
this year, covering the agricultural
outlook. It may be early TO count
chickens, but there is going to be a big
area seeded to all kinds of grain I'M
der the most ideal conditions, and. IL
a good start counts for anything, this
section has tAat this reason, above all
other years.

THAT COAL CONTRACT
Misunderstanding Of Verbal State
ments Result OF conflicticns BE-
tween Bidder and City.

Mayor Davy made the statement to-
day that there was no disposition on
the part Of the city to discriminate
between the railroads in the carrying
of coal for the Moorhead water and
light plant under the new contract
Since there has been misunderstood
ing on some points, carrying and the
kind Of coal new bids have been in
vited by the authorities and there is
no doubt but that here will be a per-
feet spirit of harmony in the consum-
nation of the buying of and furnish
ing the city's coal, with absolute fair
ness to all concerned, including the
railroads, the relations of which with
the city are in perfect accord, and as
intimated by the executive, nothing
will be allowed to disturb the placid
waters.

HONOR JUDGE BAXTER
On the Occasion of the 18th Annvsr-
sary Of His Birth by the Bar Of
Otter Tail County.

Judge Baxter, the venerable jurist
of the district court of the seventh
district, was conspicuously honored
yesterday at Fergus Falls, his home
town, the occasion being the 18th an
nivresary Of his birthday. He was adj
mitted to the bar when he was % years
of age. He came to Minnesota in
1857
The bar of Otter Tail county took
advantage of the occasion to express
the feeling OF admiration and respect
which they all entertain for him, and as
a slight token of esteem presented him
with handsome gold headed cane.
1t has been planned to make the pre-
sentation as a little surprise, and
while a premature announcement
married that feature, the occasion was
a very pleasant one.
The presentation speech was made
by Atty. r. w. Mason. who, among
other things said: The bar of Otter
your 18th birthday anniversary, and
we have come to pay our respects to
you upon this occasion. / have been
selected to represent the bar on this
occasion ] think that this pleasant
task was assigned to me for the reason
that l have known your%Honor longer
than any other member of the Otter
Tail county bar.
Speaking thus throws me into
rather a reminiscent mood and / re-
call the first time / ever saw you, which
was at Redoubt Carpenter, in Chat
tanooga, Tenn. You came there with
Major Eddy on horseback The next
time / saw you was in the latter part
of May 1866 at your headquarters.
THE next time saw your
Honor was in 1874, when you were a
member of the state senate and l was
member of the house. After you
came to this county and went upon the
bench, which you have graced and
adorned for so many years, the other
members of the bar have known you
as well as I; and we are here today
representing the entire bar of Otter
tail county to express our apprecia-
ton and love for you as judge, as
well as man. and on behalf of the en-
tire bar of Otter Tail county pre-
sent you with this cane. which we all
nope you VIII ear IOF many years 10
come"
Responding Judge Baxter said in
part: "It Is impossible for me to ex-
press my feelings on an occasion Of
this kind I have always avoided such
things through my life. l have pecu-
liar notions about them, but still
appreciate them none the less, and
it is exceedingly gratifying to me to
receive these expressions OF friendship
from your chairman, Mr.. Mason, and
feel now that l can go off the bench
with credit And / wish to say TO you
gentlemen, in conclusion, that can
not ffttingly convey to you the deep
feeling have on this occasion, but /
thank you"

Sold ear Corn for Feed.

Al transaction today shows which
way the wind blows along farming
lines in the Red river valley and one
that was not dreamed of quarter
of a century ago w J. Bodkin from
his surplus OF corn over the require
ments for his own use, sold to a
farmer today two large tank loads Of
ear corn which he was badly In need
of for feed for his hogs. 1t is not
very long ago when it was on impos-
sibility to buy even an ear of corn
from a farmer, for the latter was only
barely able to raise enough for his
own use. Out OF last years crop a
considerable quantity Of corn has heen
sold in Moorhead and adjacent sta
lions for shipment.
