tract just as soon as the bill referred
to In the dispatch had passed congress.
The plans were drawn some time ago
and the specifications prepared so that

Manager Brown says that the new
bridge will be a rolling lift structure
and of attractive design. The west
end approach OF the new structure
will be between the present north
bridge and the Fargo Touring mills
and the east end approach will be at
the foot of Second avenue north, Just
below the Rathskeller establishment.
The public generally will approve of
the enterprise of the street railway
company, for the using of the north
bridge has not been altogether satts-
factory to the public as there were
many Inconvenience to be encounter
ed with wheeI traffic and a more or
less danger, for some drivers persisted
in frequently taking very close risks
when cars were on the bridge.

Goes to Be Enlightened.

L. A. Huntoon, this afternoon, said
he should leave this evening for st.
Paul on business, and while there he
should try to gain some enIighten-
ment on the matter of the inspection
of dairy herds and the condemnation of
large herds which means great loss to
the dairymen. Mr.. Huntoon will also
ask about the hundreds of dairy cat
tie on the farms which are not in
spected at all, but among which must
exist cattle which would be promptly
condemned if they were in dairy herds.
For instance there is no inspection at
Fergus Falls and like places, and un-
doubleday the people there are daily
using milk and butter from cows af-
fficted with tuberculosis and don't
know it. is all poppycoclS that
tuberculosis only exists in dairy herds"
said Mr.. Huntoon.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, Jan. 25.--The wheat mar
ket opened about steady and ruled
easier In tone during the earlier part
OF the session, but around noon local
professionals, having oversold, started
to cover and forced an advance of
about 1c per bushel from the low point.
The news of the day was largely of a
bearish nature. No Improvement in
the cash demand was noted. Indica-
tions pointed to some precipitation in
the southwest. The market continues
OF a purely professional character,
with the large holders still in control.

Grain Opinions.

Shearson, Hammiu e. Co.: We are
coming to the time within d few weeks
when daily weather conditions will be
an effective influence in wheat but we
have hardly reached that point yet.
The situation is an uncertain one and
not altogether healthy.
Logan & Bryan: The late break
was something of a surprise after the
firmness displayed most of the session.
Those friendly to the buying side of
wheat regard dip of this kind as an
opportunity to get into it at an advant-
age. H. w. & Co.

May Be Tried In Clay.

According to The Fergus Falls Jour-
nal the farmers in Crow Wing county
are going to appoint committees who
will attend meetings of the county
commissioners. This is a good idea
and it will undoubtedly result In a
better handling OF county affairs
A prominent Clay county farmer
when shown the item today said the
idea was good one, that the trouble
in great many counties was that
the meetings of the commissioners Were
too executive in their nature, that Is
there were never enough of the tax
payers present at the meetings to
listen to the views expressed by the
members OF the board.
