HiH. chairman OF the Great Northern
arrived in New York yesterday and
brings reassufing reports from the
northwest.
Mr.. Hill laughed at the suggestion
that the country was tending towards
q severe depression and possible pam
/ ic. "Ttere 10 not present a single ell

bat is net wealth taken out OF the
earth and added to the country's cash
balance.
TN a way the unsatisfactory crop
yield has been OF great benefit to
farmers. Where the ground was
carefully cultivated and everything
not lett to nature, a surprisingly good
yield was secured, in spite Of bad
weather. In many cases a farmer with
practically no harvest has seen his
neighbor on adjoining land reap a
good average per acre. A lesson like
this is not soon forgotten"
Many merchants who took fright at
the prospect OF a partial crop failure
and cancelled orders for future de-
livery, have decided, Mr.. Hill said that
there will be plenty OF money in cir
culation after all, and have restored
their original orders.
He was emphatic In asserting gem
eral business Is satisfactory, though
not booming. He said that it is still
too early to make a good estimate of
the crop yield, but that the loss will
not be es much as appeared inevita-
BILE few weeks ago.
Mr.. Hill reported that business on
the Great Northern is holding UP re-
markably well. There has been an
increase of Is per cent in carloading
the first weeks OF this month over
August of last year. He did not look
for any falling off in September. He
secuted the idea that Its present z
per cent dividend is in any danger.
Mr. Hill corrected a misquotatfon OF
an utterance he made on his last visit
to New York He was made to saw
that the railroads were all right If the
government would leave them alone.
whereas in fact he said that this
country is all right If it is left alone.
The erroneous statement was tele-
graphed all over the country and
caused him considerable embarras-
meat.

SOME FARMERS WHO
ARE NOT WORRYING.

Minot Democrat: There are be-
tween 200 and 800 farmers in the
country tributary to MinoC who
are not worrying about a short
crop. In fact, they would not
worry If they did not raise a
busheI of grain, for they have an
income every day in the year
Some Of them are truck farmers
who sell readily and at good prices
every vegetable they grow. Others
have cows and sell milk, cream
and butter and get top prices for
II in the Minot markets-and the
supply is not equal to the demand
by a long way. Thousands of
pounds of creamery butter are
shipped into Minor every week, and
If farmers would run cows and buy
sepafators. their butter win find a
ready market at top prices. Chick
ems Is another source of income
and springs are selling in the
Minot markets today at 25 cents
a pound, No farmer lives too far
from marker that he cannot make
butter and raise chickens at a big
profit. Many farmers in this VII
entity get their entire living from
produce and their grain crops are
clear money that goes in the bank

ANNOUNCE ATTACK
On RATE INCREASE
MINNEAPOLIS TRAFFIC AssocIA.
TON CHOOSES GENERAL
COUNSEL AND DEFINES
STAND.

st, Paul, Aug. 23.-With the appoint
ment Of former Judge Milton Purdy. of
the federal bench, as general counsel,
the Minneapolis Traffic association has
issued circular defining it's stand
upon the proposed increase OF rates eff
fective November l. Judge Purdy will
represent the association, which has
| for its object the protection of prac-
tically all shippers in the entire north
west before state, federal and all 9TH
er courts where the twin cities are
seeking protection from discriminatory
rates.
The circular, a report of committee
appointed to investigate matters, is
brief, but to the point. 1t ries a
short review of the situation in refer
ence to rates of the Trunk line and
Central Freight association territories
and the Western Trunk line territory.
II holds that present freight rates are
more than reasonable since the rebate
law has gone into effect and classic
cations changed. There is also a pro-
test against the increase of grain rates
from the Dakotas and are pronounced
as discriminatory.
The circular, signed and approved
by the board OF directors is addressed
to President George M. Gillette and
follows in part:
Pursuant to your Instructions the
traffic committee has investigated the
general advance in class and commod-
ity rates and begs leave to report as
follows:
While this market would sustain no
greater advance than comparative GEN.
ters. the committee is of the opinion
that in view, first, OF the marked in
crease In revenues by all railroads fol-
lowing enactment of the Hepburn law,
incident to the discontinuance OF all
Icontractual arrangements, both freight
and passengers; second, the steady but
marked increase in rates effected large
ly through the official classification. all
of which is fully sustained by official
reports of lines at interest. we are OF
the opinion that present rates are re-
munerative, and as shown by the car
riers themselves, are more than suffi-
Gent to produce reasonable return on
conservative investment.
aThe whole eastern question is now
before the interstate commerce COM
interests being looked after by the MAJ
tional shippers committee, Of which
w. p. Trickett is a member
Resolved. That we. the traff1c COM
mittee, hereby recommend that the as
ISOLATION petition the interested lines
to forthwith abandon this departure
from well-established principles Of rate

the list OF articles hereto attached I'M
til such time as the distributing or
class rates applicable from the twin
cities ais compared with those obtain-

impending and irreparable discrimina-
tion against this market.

MARSHAL SHEA
SCORES FOWLER
COMPARES GRACE BURNS CASE
TO MURDER TRIAL NOW ON IN
SEATTLE, WHERE FIVE YEARS
WAS SPENT IN CAPTURING MAN
SUSPECTED OF THE CRIME.

There must be a prosecuting at
torney in Seattle" said United States
Marshal James Shea this morning, in
making a comparison of the Grace
Burns murder case in Fargo with the
Lata Nicholas murder trial now on
In Seattle.
Compare the record of the prose
cutting attorney of that city with that
of Mr.. Fowler. who says Let the muir
derer rest in peace
Narrating the incidents of the Seat
tie case, Mr.. Shea continued: after
pursuit covering five years, John
Joseph Flaw, a Syrian, is about to be
returned to Seattle to stend trial for
the murder in that city of Lata
Nicholas, a 17-year-old girl of his own
race. Flaw was found in Mexico City.
to which point he had fed after the
crime was committed, and was recog-
niEed by a Greek dealer in Syrian
goods.
"Fiav viii leave Mexico Monday In
custody of deputy sheriff." added the
marshal.

FOOL KILLER NEEDED.
Mistaken Idea of Wit Causes Boys to
Cut Garden Hose.

Cut Garden Hose.
This morning a NUMBER Of the resi-
dents OF North Broadway found that
they had been the victims of what were
evidently intended to be practical jokes
perpetrated by some young men who
have a queer idea of wit. In one yard
the entire hose was wound around the
trunk Of tree and then sliced on four
sides. When stretched out into shape
again, the hose fell apart about every
two feet into small chunks where It
had been cut.
This was the worst damage done
In other cases pieces of hose were cut
at the nozzle and others punctured in
several places, all of which was doubt
less supposed to be very funny. But
the mirth was not enjoyed by the own
ers who are put to the expense Of
purchasing new hose I'm every case.
Early this morning boys were seen
crossing several North Broadway
lawns and it is believed they were the
guilty ones. They wore light suits OF
clothes, and If they can be identified
1t is the purpose of the property own
ers whose hose was damaged, to cause
their arrest.

ABSARAKA men
ARE RECOVERING
TRIO OF FARM LA5oRERs WHO
ENGAGED IN A5sARAKA SHOOT
ING scRAPE ARE REPORTED TO
BE RECOVERING FROM WOUNDS
AT COUNTY HOSPITAL.

The three principals of the Absarala
shooting and cutting scrape yesterday
are reported much better this morning.
One OF the trio has been removed from
the county hospital to the county jail
and the other two are said to be both
entirely out of danger. James #. BUSH,
who was cut over the heart with a
knife welded by Tom Gorkey, is the
one returned to jail this morning.
The names OF the other men are
John Mccarthy and Tom Gorkey,
whose wounds were little more seri-
Gus. They are resting quite easily
today and II is thought they viii soon
be In condition to return to jail. Nc
Carthy is suffering with a broken jaw
and several cuts while Gorkey, who
started the whole racket, was shot in
the back, the bullet piercing one Of
the kidneys.
f. j. Coyle was the man with whom
Gorkey was sleeping when the quarrel
started and was the only one OF the
four men sharing the same room who
came out OF the fray uninJnred.

PEACEMAKER GETS
BULLET FOR PAINS
MAN LOOKING FOR TRoUsLE
WITH A GUN DOES NOT
TAKE KINDLY TO
WARNING.

RoIla. N. D., Aug. ga shooting
scrape which occurred at the farm Of
George Parsons near Fonda, on Mon
day OF this week resulted in bullet
through the thigh of John Lee and
the placing OF the shooter, John Daw-
son, in the RoIette county jail charged
with assault with deadly weapon.
The sorry Of John Lee is to the effect
that he had rented some hay land from
George Parsons. On Monday he came
from his house In Bottineau county
and went to the home of Mr.. Parsons
to find out where the lines of the land
were. While he was there Mr.. Par
sons saw John Dawson, between. whom
and Parsons there was bad blood, APP
the to there had been bad blood, APP
preaching and requested Mr. Lee to
meet him and ask him to go away as
Parsons did not want any trouble with
him. Mr.. Lee did so, meeting Dawson
near the barn and when about fifty
feet away from him told him that Mr..
Parsons did not want him to come
there as he did want any further
trouble with him. At this, Dawson
without word, pulled out a Savage
automatic revolver and began to shoot.
firing three shots, one Of which went
through the fieshy part OF Lees thigh,
fortunately without striking bone.
The gun which II claimed to have been
used belongs to blind pigger at
Fonda, and II is almost unnecessary
to say that Dawson was under the in
fIuence OF liquor, he having started di-
rectly from the pig. He was seen try
ing the shooting qualities OF the gun
on the way. The preliminary hear
ing will probably be postponed until
the return Of the states attorney who
Is visiting at Mankato Nina.

(American News Service)
McAlester, Okla. Aug. S.-A special
congressional investigation into the al
legged bribery attempt in connection
with the Indian land sales was resuni-
ed here today. w. G. Hoffman. an
Indian citizen, testified that himself
and Indians generally were ready to
pay the twenty-five percent of all
land due them in order to get immed-
late settlements SO that they could
get their money while they are living
rather than leave uncertain requests
to their descendants. Hoffman said
the Indians had been forced to pay
for all the money they formerly got
and had confidence in McMurray's in
fluence to get it for them.
