The report which emanated from

Independent plant would remain
closed, was incorrect. Tie three

less they are able to make some sort
Of an arrangement for continuing.
The management OF the local plant
feel hopeful that with the opening up
OF spring there will be better de-
mand for glass and with the better
demand there will be better prices, In
which case they will be enabled to
keep the plant running and without
operating it at a loss.

NORTH DAKOTA AT
The Land SHOW
PROF. w. C. PALMER OF THE A. c.
TELLS or THE EXHIBITS FROM
THIS sTATE-sTATE DIVIDED
INTO THREE SECTIONS AT THE
SHOW.

North Dakota is making a fine
showing at the land show now in ses-
sion in st. Paul." said Prof. w. c.
Palmer today. "The state has been
divided into sections, as the Red river
counties, the Missouri river slope
counties and the lake region. Each
section had it's own booth.
"One of the main attractions in the
Red river valley booth was a farm
scene worked out with the real soil.
the farm fenced and the fields OF
wheat. oats, fax, corn made from the
real articles. The house and barn
was shown as well as the schoolhouse.
This was one OF the most striking
things at the show. The black soil
attracted the attention OF ali who saw
it. They could hardly. realize that
1t was possible to have a whole farm
of such richness. A cross section OF
the soil was shown giving an idea of
the soil and subsoil. Over the booth
hung mammoth basket labelled
Bread Basket of the World, There
were also fine exhibits of grains. corn
potatoes, vegetables and apples.
The most conspicuous thing in the
Missouri slope counties booth was the
creamery mutter. The different cream
cries being represent by tub exhibits,
many of the silver cups have been won
were represented. The next most
notable exhibit was the potatoes.
There were also fine exhibits of corn.
grasses, grain, vegetables and bril-
quettes.
"The lake region booth had espe-
eially fine exhibits of fax, potatoes,
grains. Corn was also represented.
One of the unique things was a flax
button. 1t contained the real flax seed
and has this legend, Come to
country where one fax crop pays for
the land
'The general North Dakota booth
contained Roosevelt's log cabin but
covered with alfalfa so 1t was really |
an alfalfa cabin. A corn cabin was |
another feature. A large farm was
also represented. The pottery exhibit |
was fine demonstration of the fine |
quality Of the North Dakota clays. |
Altogether the showing made by North |
Dakota is a very creditable one"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Considerable Surveying Has Been
Done on Dilworth Extension of
Electric Line.

Considerable work has already been
done on the electric extension project
to Dilworth in the way oc making
drainage surveys, inspection of deeds
for right Of way purposes, inquiries
about tie cost or ties, rails, ballast
and other essentials.
1t is believed by the officials of the
cempany's office here that the actual
work on the extension will begin in
the spring. The exact route of the
line has not been decided upon as yet
and that will largely be left with the
decision Of the people who are inter-
ested and who will offer the best
chances of traffic.

Unlimited Credit
Given by Railroad
to Shipper Illegal

TOLEDO, o., Dec. 10.-That the granting
OF unlimited credit by the issuance OF
notes TO guarantee freight charges con-
stitutes a discrimination under the Elkins
anti-rebate law Is the decision OF United
States Judge John NJ. Killitts in over
ruling demurrers to indictments returned
against the Hooking Valley Railroad COM
pany, handed down yesterday.
The Sunday Creek Coal company also
is held liable, for its demurrers to indict-
ments were similarly overruled.
Tho cases. 1t is SAID. are to be carried
to the supreme court OF the United States
for a decision.
The plan was, It is alleged, that the
Hooking Valley instead OF collecting cash
or compelling the Sunday Creek company
to deposit bonds or security for payment
Of freight charges, permitted the coal
concern TO give it's notes at the end of
each month and that the railroad never
made any attempt to collect on these but
did collect cash in certain instances.
More than t2,455,0OO worth of, rebates, Il
was alleged by the government, were In
volved in tho unlimited" credit plan, and
that the rival shippers of the Sunday
Creek company had TO pay cash or file

3REEN SAYS NEW LAW
INTENDED "V0TE FOR SEVEN

John p Breen, who drafted the commits
sion plan law. declares. in the face of
opposition, that his intention and the in
tention OF those who assisted him, was to
provide that seven men be voted for at
the primary. Preparation is being made
to let the courts settle the matter II
necessary.
City Attorney John A. Rine has ruled
on the point OF law involved. holding that
It is clear but seven men can be voted
for OF the fourteen 10 be nominated. Dan
B. Butler, city clerk, who will designate
on the official ballots how many shall be
balletted for, says that unless he has fur
ther proof he will make Il fourteen.
While the question OF the number 10
be voted for at the primary is mooted the
commission plan law In its other pro-
visions is not invalidated nor even rem
dored obscure by the one clause. The
question now disturbing the legal profess
sion will, II the plans OF the supporters
OF the law go not awry. be settled In time
to prevent Il being made cause for dis
sension at the primary,
