OMAHA FAILS TO
CHANGE Rates
Had Alleged Discrimination
in Grain Schedules.
TWIN CITIES FAVORED

Shippers Of Nebraska City Claimed
Railroad Tariffs Now In Effect Tend
to Turn Traffic to St. Paul and Min.
neapoIis, but the Interstate Com
meree Commission Thinks Other
wise and Denies Relief Asked.
Washington, Nov. 2.-Dismissing a
complaint filed by the Omaha Grain
Exchange against the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, alleging unrea-
sonable rates from points in South
Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa to Omaha
as compared with rates from the same
points to other markets, the interstate
commerce commission announced that
competitive conditions do not affect
Omaha as they do Minneapolis.
The Omaha grain dealers complain
they are not able to secure a fair
share of the grain originating in
South Dakota, between the Missouri
river and the Minnesota state line,
points in Southwestern Minnesota and
Northwestern Iowa. They desire to
have the grain shipped to Omaha, not
particularly for milling purposes or
consumption, but for reshipment East
and South. The railroads, which were
made defendants, claim that the CON-
bination of rates which make up the
through rates to the South and South
east are substantially in favor of
Omaha as compared with Minneapolis
or Chicago. The complainants pro-
posed equal rates to Omaha and Min
neapolis, where the distance is the
same, and in territory nearer Omaha
differentials In favor of Omaha sub
stantially the same as those in favor
of Minneapolis, where the distance 10
less to Minneapolis.
The commission says the rates to
Minneapolis are strongly influenced or
controlled by competitive conditions
which do not likewise affect Omaha
rates and that the Minneapolis milling
interests demand and the interests of
the Minneapolis lines which do not
reach Omaha create substantially dis
similar conditions.

MILLION FOR FARM SCHOOL
Dean Wood. to Make Application For
Thi. Amount.

Dean Woods will submit plans for
the future needs of the state agri-
cultural school of Minnesota at the
next meeting of the board of regents.
The plans are not only for the pre-.
sent needs, but for those expected in
the next ten years. =.
The estimates call for the ap.
preparation of about 81, 100000 The
present needs of the institution are
two dormitories, with room tor
seventy-fve students each and an
other building having about ten class
rooms. These buildings, Dean
Woods thinks, are absolutely neces-
sary for the present enrolment of
the school, regardless of any increase.
Conditions in the present dormitory
are greatly congested, and, with the
exception of the new dormitory now
under construction, there is no hope
of immediate relief. This new build
ing, when occupied, will still leave
fifty girls who will be compelled to
board outside of the campus. No
relief whatever is promised for the
men this pear. VI
The same conditions exist at the
branch schools in Morris and
Crookston, where the dormitories are
crowded to their fullest capacity.
Dean Woods in his plan will submit
a campus scheme similar to that
suggested for the university. He
would have the college and prepare.
tory schools at the opposite sides Of
the grounds.

Work of Rebuilding Burned Town Goes
Ahead Rapidly and Without Aid
of "Monied Interests
EVERYBODY STILL BOOSTING
Newspaper Declares New Villages are
Going to be much Bigger, Better
and More Modern.

If there had been any doubt as
to whether Baudette and Spooner
will rise out of their ashes to bigger
and better towns, it is dispelled by
the present building activity in
both these towns.
The Rainy River Region published
at Baudette has the following in its
current issue:
The remarkable manner in
which Baudette is rising from its
ashes is commanding the wonder
and admiration of the entire north
west. Less than three weeks have
elapsed since a fiery demon from the
forest came leaping over the tree
tops and reduced the town to ashes,
wiping out in less than an hour the
work of years of toll and sacrifice,
but our residents have already risen
to the occasion. Building after
building is shooting its way skyward,
a monument to the courage and in
domitable luck of a people who re-
fuse to be conquered by misfortune.
Before winter sets in 200 build.
iDgs will mark the scene of the late
disaster. Although thrown on their
own resources, with no powerful
monied concern to back them, with
lumber difficult to secure, and with
everything against them, our resi-
dents are emerging from the disaster
with fying celors. ~+ ..
"Iheir Drawn and sinew and
courage have won the day, and
the New Baudette will in every
respect eclipse the old one. Not
a business man, not resident is
deserving the town. They are all
staying with it, and will work side
by side with the new residents in
the building of one of the best
cities in Minnesota.
If it were not for the long trench
in the Baudete cemetery, where the
victims of the disaster are buried,
our residents would have almost
forgotten the fire in the enthusiasm
they are displaying in the rebuild
ing of their homes and stores. Their
recovery from the catastrophe has
been remarkable, and the winning
fight they are putting up shows the
material they are made off,

BEM|DJI 'IATER' YIELD BIG
Farmer Near Here Establi.he. Record
For This Country.

The average yield of potatoes per
acre throughout the United States is
eighty.eight bushels, but it is not
at all extraordinary for good farm
ing upon good soil to produce 200
or 800 bushels per acre.
One farmer near Bemidji last year
produced Cos bushels per acre. In
old England farmers reach 1000
bushels of potatoes per acre and in
Belgium as high as 1000 bushels is
the record.
So the average American farmer
who can average only eighty-eight
bushels can measure the distance
he is yet below the Dutchman in
agricultural knowledge.

Man Accused by Is Year-on Niece Of
Holding Her a. White Slave Held
to Grand Jury.
BAIL BOND FIXED AT $500
Prisoner Unable to Furnish II and j,
Locked up, May Get Out on
Habeas Corpus.

Charles Stebbins, arrested several
days ago as the result of white slave
accusations made by his thirteen
year old niece, was bound. over by
Municipal Judge Pendergast to
await the action of the grand jury.
Bail was fixed in the sum of 81, 500
and being unable to furnish it.
Stebbins was locked up in the county
Jail.
At the hearing, Stebbins, who was
represented by Attorney J. L. Brown,
entered plea of not guilty. Several
of his relatives were present to
testify in his behalf.
County Attorney McKusick ap-
peared for the state and while sew
eral women neighbors were ready to
appear against the prisoner, the har-
rowing tale told by the girl, alleged
to have been virtually prisoner in
the Stebbins hovel on Twenty-second
street, was sufficient to convince the
court that the case is one for the at.
tention of the grand jury.
At the time of Stebbins' arrest the
girl was all but naked, being clad in
single garment, She claims to
have lived with her four year old
brother alone with Stebbins.
Attorney Brown may attempt to
secure the release of Stebbins on a
writ of habeas corpus.
The case of Caspar Sears in
municipal court before Judge
Pendergast was dismissed for lack
of evidence. Sears was taken in
to custody by Indian Agent Sero
who charged him with having fur
nished liquor to an Indian.
| Frank "Spider" Gagnon, paid
fine of $1o3 on the accusation of
the illegal sale of liquor.

CHANCE TO GET SETTLERS
Advertising Greatest Need for North
Country, Declare Experts.

The proposition which some of
the officers of the Northern Min
nesota Development association
have of urging that the laws regu-
lating the sale of state lands be
amended so that a more progress
sive policy of settling up this part
of the state may be adopted, is
meeting with universal approval
by all interested parties. Wis
consin is going to open an Office,
and have an exhibit of products of
the northern part of that state in
connection, in Chicago. Officers
of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association believe that
this is good plan, and suggest
that Minnesota do the same thing.
1t is also suggested that it would
be still better if Minnesota, Wis.,
consin and Michigan all three
adopt that system and engage
Offices side by side.
The Wisconsin Advancement
association has secured the sum of
$4,000 to begin its campaign, and
expects that the state legislature
will appropriate 100000 for con-
tinuing the work.
1t is estimated that all that north
ern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan need is proper advertising of the
resources to quickly settle the now
vacant acres. The northern sections
of the three states are very similar
in every respect. Climate and re.
sources are substantially the same,
and the last three states could it is
believed, act independently, yet
simultaneously and together, to pro.
mote the settlement of each. tits
argued that each state would help
the other, and three states advertis'
ing similar resources would be to the
general advantage Of all. This mat
ter will be taken up at the December
meeting of the Northern Minnesota
Development association at Brainerd

In the church parlors the minister
chose honesty for the subject Of his
brief discourse. In less than a quar-
ter Of an hour he found time to lam
haste nearly everybody who had ever
deviated from the narrow path, but
he was particularly hard on those per-

After the sermon everybody enjoyed
himself socially. There were some
big guns there from other parishes,
and the parlors had been done up es-
pecially for the evening. There were
two lovely new red velvet chairs that
the minister found particularly COM
Portable. He complimented the head
Of the furnishing committee on her
thrift and taste.
On Friday evening there was an
other meeting in the parlors. The min
lister looked around first thing for those

Rhihd" in the British museum, pro-
fessed to have been written by Ahmes,
a scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the
period between 1000 and 100 B. G.
This "Papyrus Rhind" was translated
by Eisenlohr Of Leipzig, and it was
found to contain rule for making a
square equal in area to- a given circle.
It was not put forth as an original dis
covery, but as the transcript Of a

a Figure Trick.

Get some one to put down row OF
figures, to add them up and subtract
the total, thus:
63.214
These figures added together make
16. Subtract this 16 from the original
number and you get 63,19S.
Now ask them to cross out any one
figure, total them up again and tell
you the total. Thus, say, they cross
out the 6, the total becomes 21. They
tell you this, and without looking at
the sum you can say the value Of the
figure which has been crossed out.
You do this trick by subtracting the
total from the next multiple Of 9.
1.-THE total" says your friend, lis 21.'
The nearest multiple of 9 above 21
Is q. You subtract d from ~, and
that leaves 6. To your friend you
