1t is stated that after Sept. 18th, that
both the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific will run their own trains and
trains crews through to Winnipeg over
the Canadian Northern tracks. This
will be somewhat of detriment to Penn
bina as the engines and crews have been
staying over night at this point.
Most of the wheat is cut. Threshiag
has been delayed by showers that have
occurred almost every night this week.
We got pretty near the frost line Sunday
night. "a degrees by the government
thermometer. Western part of the state
and the Canadian northwest had con-
siderable frost in localities. Yesterday
was warm again.
The Winnipeg Free Press Of Tuesday
has the following additional reports of
frost in the northwest each being from
two to three degrees below freezing,

weather is also prevalent.
DR.. Harris threshed about two humid
red and fifty bushels of timothy from 81
acres, which brings him S12.35 humid
red pounds. That beats wheat or even
barley at present prices. Though tim
othy seed is abnormally high for some
reason. Perhaps because our western
farmers are changing their methods of
farming.
Last Thursday Messrs. Dykeman and
Burns farmers living northeast of Ar
gyle hauled in load of timothy seed
to the Farmers and Merchants Elevator
which netted the owners s632.25, the
largest check ever paid in Argyle for one
load of grain. Messrs. Dykeman and
Burnes have marketed two loads con-
tanning 1O530 pounds, which brought
them 81, l84.65.-Argyle Banner.
Last Friday afternoon Mrs. James
Wright entertained about fifty ladies in
honor of Mrs. Lein of Minneapolis who
has been the guest OF her mother, Mrs.
Mason of St. Vlnaent, for some time.
The afternoon was pleasantly spent out
on the lawn and at six o'clock the ladies
were invited into the house where a
number of small tables were invitingly
set. Several musical numbers greatly
added is the pleasure of the company.
Mrs. Burley who returned from visit
other father, Alexander Lafferty, few
days ago, in company with her daughter,
Mrs. Wittmier, received news of his
death last Saturday, at his home in Nap
anee, Ont. He was 70 years of age and
while she was there he was not in bad
health apparently, for one of his age.
Out of family of eleven children all
are living except one brother, who was
killed two years ago in an accident. The
mother still survives.
The new arrangement between the N.
p, g. N. and Canadian Northern, with
reference to the two former roads run
ming their own trains into Winnipeg is
not received with favor across the line,
and indications are the deal will never
go through. The different labor organi-
cations have taken the matter up, and
protests are pouring into Ottawa, asking
the government to stop it. Mr.. Malloy,
member Of parliament from the Emerson
district sent lengthy message Wednes-
day to the commissioner Of labor asking
him 70 take the matter up under the
allan labor act and, we understand, re-
|osiyed favorable reply.
